Heritage
You care about family and religion. (There are those who say that you
do not, but I know better.) Under your outward agnosticism is a deep
need to be acknowledged by Adoni and family, so much so that your
family and close friends have been able to change the course of your
life for better and worse.
Caring
In your care I achieved heights that my own father thought I would
never achieve. And when I found that I could not keep up with your
achievements, you still loved me. You helped me get my degree, you
found me a place to live, your presence brought the comfort of decent
friends, you even thought that you might lose me to another girl.
Bright
You were always at the top of the class. Less than 1 in 10 students
have achieved what you have: and as I grope in darkness 30 years
later, your example still lights my way through the hidden morass
that is the media.
Beauty
Your every dress is my choice of clothes for those dear--30 years
later. Your eyes foreshadow a genetic trait that is a signature of the
intellectually advanced. Your build (paralleled by such models as
Jennifer Walcott and Francine Dee) is not the standard curvy 36-24-36,
no: it is the trunk of an older woman, a sign of readiness to assume
the needs of her men--that is me and Jesus Christ. After 30 years, I
am sure you are a mother and your children are splendid in their
father's eyes.
Innocent
Most of all, you did not act in selfish interest. When you loved, you
loved without reservation. When you worked, all of your power was
applied to the problems at hand. When you hated, you did not care who
saw you. There are not many women in the world who are innocent: after
30 years I have only found one other.

WHY?
|
|---|
|
Why incur the ire of my customers, the prejudice of the religious,
the derision of the very experienced? Because the shadow of her
accomplishments, her love, her share in the person that is the goddess
she will become--makes plain the reality of something written
long ago!

Psalm 85
|
|---|
Elohim:, you favor your own country, YOU BRING BACK the captives of
Jacob, you take your people's guilt away, you blot out all their sins,
you retract all your anger, you abjure your fiery rage.
BRING US BACK, God our savior,
master your resentment against us...
Will you not give us life again, for your people to rejoice in you?
Elohim:, you show us your love, grant us your saving help.
I am listening. What is Elohim: saying? What God is saying means peace
for His people, FOR HIS FRIENDS, if only they renounce their folly;
for those who devote themselves to Him, His saving help is near, and
"THE GLORY" will then live in our country.
10 Love and loyalty now meet, Righteousness and peace now embrace;
11 loyalty reaches up from earth and
Righteousness leans down from heaven.
Elohim: Himself bestows happiness as our soil gives its harvest,
13 Righteousness always preceding Him and
peace following His footsteps.

Matthew 24:11 Many false prophets will arise; they will deceive
many,
12 and with the increase of lawlessness, love in most men
will grow cold;
13 but the man who stands firm to the end
will be saved.
Where is the security to stand firm?
Matthew 24:32 `Take the fig tree as a parable:
as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out,
you know that summer is near. 33 So with you when you see all
these things:
know that the Son of Man is near, at the very
white gates.
34 I tell you solemnly, before this generation
has passed away
all these things will have taken place.
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass
away.
36 But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it,
neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father
only.
37 As it was in Noah's day, so will it be when
the Son of Man comes.
38 For in those days before the flood
people were eating, drinking,
taking wives, taking husbands,
right up to the day Noah went into the ark,
39 and they
suspected nothing till the flood came and swept all away.
It will
be like this when the Son of Man comes.
40 Then of two men in the
fields one is taken, one left;
41 of two women at the millstone
grinding, one is taken, one left.
Sunday May 4, 2008 First Reading Acts 1:1-11
Acts 1:3 He had shown Himself alive to us during and after the
passion by many demonstrations:
for forty days He had continued
to appear to them and tell all of us about the kingdom of God.
The Church, firm in her belief, is vindicated by faith.
The married woman sees an image of herself in her husband,
thus is her submission fulfilled. The Church after all is the bride
of Christ.
But what does a married man see? An image of
acceptance in his wife,
an image of himself in her children.
Imagine eternal acceptance and His being a part of creation
throughout the multiverse!
But what if the multiverse is filled with things like
the life forms in
Operation: Annihilate!
What if the authoritarian elite have chosen a creation
in which its inhabitants cry out at arrogant injustice?
What if a man never marries?
Where is the security to stand firm?
//`It;,/?,/ is only to be found in trusting God.
I carry with me forever the blinding memories of a college girl
gone wild
and I will carry the emergence of her associated gifts
for as long as I live.
When people see me, they see an image of
her:
most are blind to this situation, some are uncaring,
and many are filled with revulsion.
It is the usage of this
revulsion that started me on a path filled with despair.
Anybody would be, but a man and woman marry, raise children and
are shielded from the despair that fills my existence alone.
Matthew 9:12 When He heard this He replied,
`It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.
13 Go and learn the meaning of the words: What I want is mercy,
not sacrifice.
And indeed I did not come to call the virtuous,
but sinners.'
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard this He said to them,
`It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.
I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners.'
Luke 5:31 Jesus said to them in reply,
`It is not those who are well who need the doctor, but the sick.
32 I have not come to call the virtuous, but sinners to repentance.'
Jesus Christ is a man of His word: those whose lives are filled
with sickness,
He fills with his presence. To a young man wishing
to spend his life
with college girl gone wild, this may be a pale
thing;
but an old man now knows that this is the greatest love
there is.
Luke 9:2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God
and to heal.
Luke 10:9 Cure those in it who are sick,
and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to you".
God forgive me for antagonizing the Church! Now there is no one to
intercede
on my behalf before You!! But Jesus
Christ--in His mercy--still gives me His presence.
The revulsion of those who see the female image burned
into my character has caused Him to bestow a life
so that I may someday be mercifully healed.
I see an acceptance in this life and she has made clear
that we have created a part of the kingdom of God.
But I still sin:
I have attained this understanding only at
the cost of being struck by a much younger college girl
gone wild...
And in my sickness I am still insecure.
(AL`aura saw this first...)
Look once, shame and despair is a man's reward;
only look twice, shame on me.
In the face of an increasing revulsion, I more and more forcefully
trust in God.
The now many bright and blinding images burned into
my memory
are accepted by this life: and through belief, faith,
acceptance, and TRUST--
we are able to produce emergent acts with
the help of many other persons.
All of us, as one, TRUST eachother
and God:
we have found that we are able
to =morph= multidimensional structures of the multiverse.
God has given us the gift of His life.
Dare I place on the internet the statement that the gift of life
through the marriage of a man and woman (and the subsequent influence
of creation)
is an image of the life created by God in
Genesis 1:27?
Genesis 1:27 God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God He created him, male and female he created
them.
Matthew 19:4 He answered, `Have you not read that the
creator
from the beginning made them male and female 5 and that
he said:
This is why a man must leave father and mother, and
cling to his wife,
and the two become one body? 6 They are no
longer two, therefore, but one body.
So then, what God has united,
man must not divide.'
Mark 10:5 Then Jesus said to them, `It was
because you were so unteachable
that he wrote this commandment for
you. 6 But from the beginning of creation
God made them male and
female. 7 This is why a man must leave father and mother,
8 and the two become one body. They are no longer two, therefore,
but one body.
9 So then, what God has united,
man must not divide.'
I will dare to make this statement: There is a greatness of life
here--
His life through all of us--that all mankind has seen in
the distant past
and will see in the future. That I have some
knowledge of this fact
is due to one college girl gone wild
(now a grandmother I hope)
and another young college girl gone
wild,
both of who's blinding beauty has changed us all.
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ!

Matthew 21:33 `Listen to another parable.
There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard;
he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower;
then he leased it to tenants and went abroad.
34 When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants
to collect his produce. 35 But the tenants seized his servants,
thrashed one,
killed another and stoned a third. 36 Next he sent
some more servants,
this time a larger number, and they dealt with
them in the same way.
37 Finally he sent his son to them. "They
will respect my son," he said.
38 But when the tenants saw the
son, they said to each other,
"This is the heir. Come on, let us
kill him and take over his inheritance."
39 So they seized him
and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 Now when the
owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?'
41 They answered, `He will bring those wretches to a wretched end
and
lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the
produce to him
when the season arrives'. 42 Jesus said to
them,
`Have you never read in the scriptures:
It was the stone
rejected by the builders that became the keystone.
This was the
Lord's doing and it is wonderful to see? 43 I tell you, then,
that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and
given to a people who will produce its fruit.'
Jesus! If //`it;,/?,/ is not too late for us!
John 10:7 ...`I tell you most solemnly, I am the gate of the
sheepfold.
8 All others who have come before me are thieves and
brigands;
but the sheep took no notice of them. 9 I am the
gate.
Anyone who enters through me will be safe:
he will go freely in and out and be sure of finding pasture.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.
Who is to say that someone who played a witch is damned forever
because of her decision to use her talents in the manner she has?
Can the keystone also heal?
John 9:1-41 (A pastor once lectured
that this is the most significant miracle in the bible.)
John 9:1 As he went along, he saw a man who had been blind from
birth.
2 His disciples asked him, `Rabbi, who sinned, this man or
his parents,
for him to have been born blind?'
3 `Neither he nor his parents sinned,' Jesus answered
`he was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed in
him.
4 As long as the day lasts I must carry out the work of the
one who sent Me;
the silence will soon be here when no one can
work.
5 As long as I am in the world I am the light of the
world.'
6 Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste
with the spittle,
put this over the eyes of the blind man,
7 and said to him, `Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam'
{sil-o-am'} (a name that means `sent').
So the blind man went off and washed himself,
and came away with his sight restored.
[The Memorial Prayer]
Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption.
We recall Christ's death, his descent among the dead,
his resurrection, and his ascension to your right hand;
and, looking forward to his coming in glory,
we offer his body and blood,
the acceptable sacrifice which brings salvation
to the whole world.
Lord, look upon this sacrifice which you have given to your
Church;
and by your Holy Spirit, gather all who share this bread
and wine
into the one body of Christ, a living sacrifice
of praise.
[Intercessions: For the Church]
Lord, remember those for whom we offer this sacrifice,
especially, Benedict XVI, our Pope,
Michael J. Sheehan, our archbishop, and bishops and
clergy everywhere.
Remember those who take part in this offering,
those here present and all your people,
and all who seek you with a sincere heart.
[For the Dead]
Remember those who have died in the peace of Christ
and all the dead who faith is known to you alone.
[In Communion with the Saints]
Father, in your mercy grant also to us, your children,
to enter into our heavenly inheritance
in the company of the Virgin Mary, the mother of God,
and your apostles and saints.
Then, in your kingdom,
freed from the corruption of sin and death,
we shall sing your glory with every creature through
Christ our Lord,
through whom you give us everything that is good.
The passages are improperly quoted? Who on earth am I to quote
His word?
John 6:56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in Me
and I live in him.
I AM A NOBODY!!
I do not watch, I do not play,
I do not teach, I do not judge, I do not exercise power,
I am simply aware.....
John 10:37 If I am not doing my Father's work,
there is no need to believe Me;
38 but if I am doing it, then even if you refuse to believe in Me,
at least believe in the work I do;
then you will know for sure that the Father is in Me and
I am in the Father.
John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father
and the Father is in Me?
Believe it on the evidence of this work,
if for no other reason.
I am simply aware of the works of the Spirit...
And I choose to devote myself to the works...
John 15:1 `I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes to make it bear even
more.
3 You are cleaned already,
by means of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 Make your home in Me, as I make mine in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
but must remain part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in Me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in Me, with Me in him, bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from Me you can do nothing.'
Thank you Jesus for your mercy!
John 15:7 If you remain in Me, and my words remain in you,
you may ask what you will and you shall get it.
As the charms of your unified presence nears its end,

John 17:20 I pray not only for these,
but for those also who through their words will believe in Me.
THANK YOU all for a beautiful, beautiful place in
and vision of life.
Wisdom 13:1 Yes, naturally stupid are all men who have not known God
and who, from the good things that are seen, have not been able to
discover Him-who-is, or, by studying the works, have failed to recognize
the Artificer. 2 Fire however, or wind, or the swift air, the sphere
of the stars, impetuous water, heaven's lamps, are what they have held
to be the gods who govern the world. 3 If, charmed by their beauty,
they have taken things for gods, let them know how much the Lord of
these excels {1331{ HThemH Vogue-Antin }1331}, since the very Author
of beauty has created them. 4 And if they have been impressed by their
power and energy, let them deduce from these how much mightier is He
that has formed them, 5 since through the grandeur and beauty of the
creatures we may, by analogy, contemplate their Author. 6 Small blame,
however, attaches to these men, for perhaps they only go astray in
their search for God and their eagerness to find Him; 7 living among
His works, they strive to comprehend them and fall victim to appearances,
seeing so much beauty. 8 Even so, they are not to be excused: 9 if
they are capable of acquiring enough knowledge to be able to investigate
the world, how have they been so slow to find its Master?
John 17:4 I have glorified you on earth and
finished the work that you gave me to do.
John 14:20 On that day you will understand that I am in my Father
and you in Me and I in you.
