OK..looks like I have missed ...Good Evening, Blog! OK..looks like I have missed a lot. <BR/><BR/>I read yesterday's post; today. Very powerful!! Thanks for putting your time into the blog everyday, Bishop. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday's blog--Like the part where the message says:He personally took on the human condition, entered the DISORDERED MESS of stuggling humanity in order to set it RIGHT, ONCE and for ALL!!(Romans 3-4) Reminds me of the 3 muskerteers quote: ALL 4 1 & 1 4 ALL.<BR/><BR/>And..YES, the "BE" picture spoke to me. (Just BE at peace; BE yourself; BE a friend; JUST BE!!)<BR/><BR/>(Romans 26-28)Picture & message; word 4 me.<BR/><BR/>Ok..Let me get 2 2day's blog, before its midnight 2morrow. ((smile))<BR/><BR/>Like the part in Ephesians 11-12; where is says: "He had his eye on Us"--he knows our beginning and He is THE END. <BR/><BR/>11-12. It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. <BR/><BR/>2day's training was FUN!! I am so excited. Cya in the ITB 2morrow!!<BR/><BR/>~Peace & Love~<BR/><BR/>Ps--The first time I saw some bloggers doing the word verification; I thought it was some game. I didn't really get what they were doing. Very cool. Maybe I'll try it when I stop getting q's and z's.

On the day that my dad passed, he shared with my mom that he just "didn't get" his daughter (me). <BR/><BR/>There are six of us (siblings) and sometimes, I just get tired of trying to fit. What if I'm the puzzle piece with all the edges seared off?<BR/><BR/>So, when I say "thank you" to the clergy and everyone who's spoken life back into my spirit, it's with the utmost respect. <BR/><BR/>Mostly, I say nothing & wave.<BR/><BR/>See you all in the morning. <BR/><BR/>PS - weird segue, I know, but for intercessors, please pray for my nephew (Dylon) and Lucy (my dog).<BR/><BR/>PPS - After 2+ decades, I met my aunt Kay (Daddy's sister - only sibling) and Uncle Harry, recently.
