23 Days

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!
