Yes, only 23 days until they pop my ribs and sternum and fix the defective heart.
sigh
so not looking forward to this!
but, with three weeks to play -
I intend to!
planning some sightseeing
Fall leaves ought to be out
My air provider will let me have
tanks for two weeks capacity
And GG wants me to look at moving to an artist community,
make and sell my artistic failures
who knows?
that was Dutchmans idea for years!
So, peeking past the operation and into recovery .......
.... now toburn my house down!
LOL!

Blessing
So, across a morning of outright demonic goings=opn, I made it to Sumner and their healing ceremony!
It was so weird tyo herar the Bishop comment that he had never seen so much opposition to performing the rite.
The rite was performed straight-forward and with nothing that contextually Luther, Hutt or even Zwingli would had objected to!
Calvin on the other hand is a bit of a problem,
My vote was he was demon oppressed!
James 5 covers well all that was said.
Nothing anyone would object to!
I wondered if this was because I am not LDS?
Is there more than one ceremony?
But the men whom were there seemed to have integrity ....
No, no miracle healing to report.
But then I have always maintained that this situation has little to do with me ......

Prayer
After becoming a C hristian, I set oit to learn all I could about prayer.
The different kinds of prayer
The why and the vwherefores
It was very ninteresting
But a great deal to absorb!
I did this again several times,
But only looking at specific kinds of prayer!
Yet, in all of those years of study one type of prayer evaded my understanding!
Healing.
This ought to be one of the easiest,
But, I get hung up on the whole issue of sprinkling -
What
How much
Why is this even an issue?!!!!
It just makes NO sense to me!
And my elective churches have been of NO help!
None of then practice this!
Don;t ask me
I am just the seeker!
And yet in my personal prayer life,
the health and healing of hundreds have been the topic of concern!
And yes, I have witnessed dramatic answers to many of those prayers!
But you only have my word on that!
So, the Mormon, aka Latter Day Saints do practice healing ceremonies!
And since mother is now a return-ie,
And I am offered consideration, inspite of my Zwingli belief set!
So, that is on today's agenda!
Their Bishop is coing into Sumner to prayer for/over me and the wretched staste of my body1
Well, certainly more than my church has or is doing!
Sigh......
Hard to condemn a group whom are trying to fit a standard,
When there are churches not even trying .....

Robbed?
Well, someone figured out how to silence Kris!
Steal his computer!
So, I must have had it on the 13th, for a post on the 14th ....
And then?
No idea, I have been in the hospital full time!
Also missing is almost all of my gold specimens from around the world,
About $400,000 -
My rock collection,
My end of life savings.
Sigh ...
But it is possible that Eldest Daughter
And GG got carried away cleaning!
Net result appears the same -
NO computer!
Guess what I am doing this weekend!

Filling The Void
Tuesday, after posting about my friend'sing death in the wee hours, I had acall from a new friend.
He is a bit of an oddity in my life.
He popped up last year with the statement,
"You need me ..."
Well, I am not superstitious or anything,
But an open line like that needs investigation!
So, his background is amazingly like mine ....
Mining background,
Hunter
Christian missionary,
etc ....
Ans recovering from a very near death situation!
So, cautiously, I agreed to get to know him.
Wary in case it was some sort of con,
Obedient, just in case this was a God thing ...
So, I told him about Paul and his death.
We then talked for hours about Paul.
Very subtle.
Guiding me through memories.
Some happy,
Some crazy,
Some bittersweet,
Some painful.
I guess just like a real family.
His wife and daughters have been calling every single day.
His grandchildren as well.
Everyone is quite lost in his absence.
It seems a hierarchy is appearing,
Where I am family elder,
Trailing behind him!
Never would have guessed that,
But, that seems to be my new role. in the family.
Interesting.
And my three Russian nieces and nephew,
As well as my Bulgarian nephew,
Suddenly are far more chatty,
And I have been stung bu one, "Gramps" from the college age one!

I knew a crooked Man
There are far too many Paul/Pol/Pohl's in my life!
My own father's fake name he hid under for most of his life.
My mentor, now dead.
All of his sons,
All of his sons-in-law!
And yes, even grand children's names!
They were all family to me,
Except for my own MIA birth-father!
When I meet a man, whom portends to be Christian,
I quietly just step back and watch
And wait ...
The truth will eventually slip out ....
By year three,
I knew the guy was the real thing!
Solid family,
Solid prayer life,
And knew his Bible!
I prayed about this,
And decided to tell him I was adopting him!
He had no kids anyone knew of,
And I needed to know how to live as a Christian male!
Needless to say,
As a very proud German,
He saw no reason not to tell me I was crazy!
But events in his life suddenly,
Brought me to the forefront of his life -
He needed someone
And I was faithfully there ...
For over thirty years!
And through those years,
I learned he did have grown children,
And where all of the skeletons were kept.
And when I found it was time to build a family,
He was an enthusiastic grandfather!
In his 90's,
He could no longer do many things.
His body was broken,
From decades of mission trips.
Helping people with construction,
And yes, his house was broken as well,
By an awesome mudslide
Me and "my boys" dug his house out of the mud by shove fulls for months!
I knew a crooked man,
Whom lived in a crooked house,
And I made him family,
And served him as best I could,
Envision a father should be served.
Until God called him home ....

Rocked
Early this morning, my adoptive father's body finally failed him.
He was the last of only two men I have respected as examples of Christian men.
Yeah, they are scarce.
More on Monday ...

Too Early
Yesterday, I awoke a 11 am - after a full twelve hours of sleep!
Made for a short day.
This morning up?
Up at 3:45 am - sigh!
But I am feeling good.
Just a little drained.
So probably will stay home from church
:(
But no sense pulling another session of crash and burn in the service!
So embarrassing being hauled out of church on a stretcher!
And you know EVERYONE is trying to see who went down in service!
And you know EVERTONE is watching.
And you know know EVERYONE is thinking,
"Oh my, it is Kris!
Well, I always thought his eyes were too close together!
It is always the quiet ones ....."
LOL
Well actually more like,
"Alright! God finall took him out!"
Irony is, I I know that was thought by a few
And, yet God very rarely works that way!
And the week was filled with phone calls from those on the gossip chain =
Oh! But, I am not suppossed to know that!
LOL
Yeah, the problem of attending a church were people do not actually know God ....
Sort of sad,
There is so much more freedom in knowing God and living in His freedom,
Than trapped by man's lists of rules,
Living under which,
You never will find God.
Sigh
So, going to try and post everyday this week!
Be interesting to see how I do!
