To those of the Worthy Ministries. To my brothers and sister who might hear my voice here. You are being guided to something else. In C. S. Lewis book, “The Screwtape Letters,” He shows us in a bit of dramatic form, Uncle Screwtape advising his nephew, “Wormwood,” in the following. Letter III; He is speaking to Wormwood on his patient who had become a Christian. My dear Wormwood. 1. Keep his mind on the inner life. He thinks his conversion is something inside him and his attention is therefore chiefly turned at present to the states of his own mind—or rather to that very expurgated version of them which is all you should allow him to see. Encourage this. Keep his mind off the most elementary duties by directing it to the most advanced and spiritual ones. Aggravate that most useful human characteristic, the horror and neglect of the obvious. You must bring him to a condition in which he can practice self-examination for an hour without discovering any of those facts about himself which are perfectly clear to anyone who has ever lived in the same house with him or worked in the same office. 2. It is, no doubt, impossible to prevent his praying for his mother, but we have means of rendering the prayers innocuous. Make sure that they are always very “spiritual”, that he is always concerned with the state of her soul and never with her rheumatism. Two advantages will follow. In the first place, his attention will be kept on what he regards as her sins, by which, with a little guidance from you, he can be induced to mean any of her actions which are inconvenient or irritating to himself. Thus, you can keep rubbing the wounds of the day a little sorer even while he is on his knees; the operation is not at all difficult and you will find it very entertaining. In the second place, since his ideas about her soul will be very crude and often erroneous, he will, in some degree, be praying for an imaginary person, and it will be your task to make that imaginary person daily less and less like the real mother—the sharp-tongued old lady at the breakfast table. In time, you may get the cleavage so wide that no thought or feeling from his prayers for the imagined mother will ever flow over into his treatment of the real one. I have had patients of my own so well in hand that they could be turned at a moment’s notice from impassioned prayer for a wife’s or son’s “soul” to beating or insulting the real wife or son without a qualm. As the above example shows in the letter. You are being turned away from the point I am trying to make here. I am saying. The body to Christ here in America MUST turn to God and ask for forgiveness for the sins of our people! One on one before the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the LORD Jesus the Christ. God states plainly that judgement starts in the house of God. As unified body of believer of the church. As a nation of the Kingdom of our God imbedded within the nation of America. God does not care for the politics of our world, nor is he concern with the evil one doing what he is doing. By that I mean to say; he is NOT surprised at anything he comes up with. He is concerned for our souls he desires our relationship with him to be as close as we can to be with him. Will he accept us into his heaven in Christ if we have no works in our lives for him? Of course. But if you think God’s Spirit of Holiness will stand by and not grows up in Christ in the meantime . . . then you must think again. He loves us and wants us to be on a personal relationship with him . . . here and now. Over and over again he calls us to turn to him and to know him. With the utmost respect to all of you who site Prophecy, abortion self-righteousness etc. You ARE beating around the bush without grabbing hold of the bush itself. If you want revival in your life then you must pay the price for it. If you want America to be great again then you must turn BACK to him. I call on all of you to examine your lives to see if you are a Moses, a man who stood before the bush as it was burning and be transformed by God’s presents and Holiness. Are you a Paul who stood before Christ and became blind so he could see the truth? Are you a Peter. James of John whose lives were set apart (Made Holy) by the vision of the glorified Christ? Nothing can come of this without repentance first. We as a nation and on a personal level must comes to terms that God our Father is Holy. As in. not like us, as his thoughts and ways are not like us. That equates to stop thinking like an America. Stop performing like a human being – we are the sons of God not sons of A-dam because we are new creatures in him. We are stuck for the moment with the fleshly residue of the Zombie man (As I call him) / the living dead that must be crucified daily. Sents God is a consuming fire then logic state if we want to be close to and with him, then we must be consumed by him and purified in HIS Holiness. We must come face to face with his Holness and see the sins in our lives just as he sees them. It is not by our strength or efforts or desire, not even our plans, it is only by God’s Spirit of repentance that will change our lives, our families, our cities and our nation. Why is it so hard for you to see that it is God that wants and desire a relationship with you in a very and deep level in your live? And it does not matter what country, what situation, what anything you are into. He just wants you to come to him personally. C. P. Beanland

Why should our God? “Make America Great Again”? In a previous posting I stated the thought of, “Making America Great Again Hmmm”. I pointed out that it was God that called for the nation of Israel to turn and repent and go where he told them to go. Into slavery under the nation of Babylon. The call of repentance was on the people of the world under the time of Noah. Even John the Baptist had that same calling to the nation of Israel, because of the coming Kingdom of God. Jesus took it up and called the nation. Peter took up the call as well when at Pentecost he preached to the people of Israel, (and all those within the city). Paul took up the call as he went to the nations of the gentiles. The very fact that Jesus’ last word to us through his servant, John on the island of Patmos should speak volumes to us today. In the book of Revelation, “I know what you have done and what has been done to you . . . never the less I have a problem with you. . . Repent or I am going to remove your church from the earth. (Paraphrase mine)”. In the early 1990s God called to me to speak to the body of Christ and call them to repent. He based that call on 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”. That was the point I was trying to make there in the first posting. Yet, I feel like I have failed in my communication to all of you. I have to ask forgiveness of that. Today, I will try and uncover the trapping that were laid on my thoughts and come out plainly. Sixty- three years ago America stood up and voted to remove Prayer to our God and his son Jesus out of our lives. Then, it was his word from our children, then, it was the Ten Commandment from our law and courts. In the midst of this, America chose to start killing the unborn children of our people. Those of us who are in our sixties and seventies were the unfortunate recipients of this monumental decision. To date there has been over 60 million children death on the hands of America. To date not one present has EVER call on her people to turn from this holocaust of death. To date I suspect there has been only a hand full to call out to our God and ask for forgiveness. In the previous posting I saw people speaking about M. E. G. A., About the republicans and democrats, about history and the U S Government etc. etc. Only one or two of you quoted the passage of 2 Chron. At least for that I am grateful, thank you. Yet, in all of this I saw no one taking up the call of repentance. It is one thing to see the need and to state the obvious, but to ignore the issue completely? You’re acting like your deaf and blind. I am force to ask of you who might read this, “Are you so callused in your life that it means nothing to you? Have you become so numb to repentance that it has become a by-word to you in your life? Did I fail in my communication of this so bad that you missed the point? Have you forgotten that the salvation given to us by Jesus comes only from our repentance and turning to him. God’s Spirit is called the spirt of Holiness AND conviction for a reason. Sents Jesus was forthright in his judgment to the seven churches; do you really think he will be a little bit nicer to us? As One man said a while back, (I think it was Billy Graham), “If God does not judge America, then he will be forced to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” Tell me, should God come to the point of his reaching out to us, that he has to call up modern day; Noah’s because of the judgement that is coming. Will he lift up Jeremiahs to our churches and nation? Does it have to come that God our Father will call an Elisha to confront us the people / the body of Christ to challenge us with; Choose today which God you will serve. I know, I know. Some of you will try and say – Charles, I have stood out on the streets and spoke to people. We have called our leader in office and demanded change. I/We have spoken, preached, testified about all of this. Well, good for you in all of this. Golly, I didn’t know. But did you repent is the question here? Allow me to point out to you that our fore Father and fore Mother did the same thing in the garden of Eden. “A-dam said; “Now, now, hold on God. It was the chick that youuuu gave me that did all this”. Eve on the other had said; “Humph, really God, if it hadn’t been for that snake over there then none of this would have ever happened here. Get E’m God, get E’m. Oh! You’re a bad snake”. (Hyper-Paraphrase mine). Jesus told us this in, Matt. 7:22 On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name, we forced out demons and worked many miracles." Picture the utter pridefulness of lifting up YOUR works to the almighty God trying to impress him with what you have done - When what he called you to do was to repent. It is NOT my intention to bust your backsides, nor am I trying to condemn you here. God in fact, is not condemning you here either, because; “There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus”, but God’s Spirit of conviction is working on you where you need to change in your heart and be more like the image of Jesus. Jesus also said this, (Luke 6:46-49). Why do you call me Lord, Lord, yet don't do what I say? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like. He is like a man who built a house. He dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. Now when a flood arose, the waters broke against that house yet could not shake it. It had been too well built. But one who hears my words and does not do them, is like a man who built a house on the ground with no foundation. When the waters broke upon it, the house fell, and great was its ruin”. On the day of our judgement at the Bema seat. Jesus will reward us for what we did for and in him (Only). Everything else in our lives will be burned up and blown away. It is a wise person and humble servant to go to God now and ask God to both, “Search me Oh God, and know my sin . . .” and to ask for him to burn up the wood, hey and stubble in your life now before you get to the Bema seat than lose out then. Here is a chance for a do over at this point in our lives, (to use a modern term). Here is the full-blown opportunity to intercede for our nation and confess our sins and crimes before him so he could heal our land. We need to turn to him because OUR NATION HAS NEVER ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS. Not one president scents JFK. In fact, JFK at the time took to the airwaves and spoke to America, he told them in his response to the supreme court removing prayer in our schools. “We can go pray in our homes and in our closets instead”. Look it up on you-tube JFK and prayer. C. P. Beanland

Mr. Abider. Perhaps it is something that I did not communicate in the article, and as with any form of writing it is "Very clear" to the person doing the writing just what it is they are saying or trying to inform others of. In the end, either you have or you have not achieved the purpose of that. My attempt to speak about Holiness was to show or focus on the aspect of the "HOLY" of Holiness. It was not my desire to say we could or even should try on our own efforts to have that as a lofty goal. Realistically it is not achievable other than the grace of God our Father who grants it to us through him out of mercy. We need to understand what Holiness is in God, and what that means to us in Christ Jesus. The application of such an endeavor is our true focus and NO, I do not want to be naive here thinking we can. But at the same time it is God who speaks to us in his word that tells us to "Practice Righteousness". It is God's Spirit who moves us towards himself. He put into us the desire to work the works of his righteousness, for in truth if it wasn't for him then we would not even care because we are dead in our Spirts before knowing Jesus. Since God is a consuming fire the closer we get to him the greater the burning or purifying of our lives that occurs. Just as God speaks of the metal smith purifying the silver and gold. Nothing but the fire - a consuming fire of 2,000 degrees can do the job. The impurities in the metal /or/ corruption and sin of our lives are drawn to the surface to be skimmed off and cast away by the work of the wooden cross. I say that point because the metal smith can only use wood to draw off the impurities from the metal. Any metal would only add to the mix defeating the purpose. About the year 2,000 God spoke to me as told me to "Start praying to him and asking for him to burn away the wood, hey and stubble out of my life thus leaving only the gold and silver (What I have done for him)". Scripture teaches us it will be on the day of judgement (Bema seat), that he will do it to our lives to see what is worthy for rewards in him. (I think the imagery will be for all of us to see the truth, and not him, because he already knows the truth of the matter). He asked me how would I do if that happened today? My answer was from the gut, "I thought I would do pretty good, but scents you are having to ask . . . I do not think I am in good shape right now". He told me to follow him. I had just came out of the military of 12 years and was served a divorce I wouldn't wish on Saddam. From March of 2003 through May of 2022 I was homeless and traveled to states around the US and traveled to many cities around Alaska. No drinking, no drugs, no violence Just going where he told me too and doing what was before me. Recording in journals, praying for both the people and the land. Learning to shut up and wait on him to provide things in my life as HE sees fit to give them to me. And Yes, I worked when and where he opened the doors for me to. The greatest blessing was when I worked as caretaker of hunting and fishing lodges during the winter for six months each time out in the remote wilderness in complete isolation form modern society. 2 + yrs isolated, and 2.5 yrs in partial isolation. Today, I want to know his Holiness because all I see is the sin and corruption of my own life. The question was asked of me by God's Spirit was, "How close to you want to be with God"? I am not an Old Testament saint who has different points of contact at different point of time with him, but I am his son by birthright. My relationship is far different. So my friend Mr. Abider, How close do you want to be with your Father and what are willing to lay down as a living sacrifice to have it with him? To do this is to know your sin and corruption very, very intimately in your life, because you will be thrown to the ground with the weight of it begging for forgiveness before God's Holiness. With my teeth clenched and back side smoking red hot, I welcome his fire, his burning, his cleansing. My flesh on the other hand hates it with a passion that can only comes form a living dead man of the flesh that would make a good horror movie if viewed. Sorry for all of this. I didn't know that was in me today. C. P. Beanland

MAN! You nailed it here. Bravo Dennis. and thank you sir.

Ever scents I came across the teaching of Holiness by R. C. Sproul a few years ago I have been plagued by God’s Spirit on the topic. See one of many examples on you-tube here. "The Holiness of God in Preaching - Dr. R. C. Sproul Sermon" By definition Holiness is Separation from others. We see this example here on earth as our parents and/or grand parents would pull out the “Silver place settings for thanksgiving and Christmas dinner”. The idea of having them for a common spaghetti or pizza dinner would result in a sound thrashing about the head and shoulder and not allowed to come out of hiding until the next year. They are held as special or “Holy” to our parents. In our western society, or better yet, in our world in all veering degrees, mankind does not see the truth of this as applied to our Spiritual lives. When we think of “Holy”, we think of super clean and spotless. To a point that is truth, but it is the following that cause our raiment to be spotless. We do not apply it to a moral trait, ethical standard, let alone a state of being of who we are in nature. As an example; We just do not see the angelic host as Holy according to the statement above. Every time we read about the angelic host showing up in our world we are forced to the floor out of fear. So much so they have to tell us NOT TO FEAR and get up. It is their Holiness, their separation from us, the ultimate otherness of not being like us that forces us to hit the deck out of great fear. Understand that though we are and have been created in God’s image does NOT mean we are his image. That is why God tells us we cannot see him face to face and live. We are dead and corrupted in the image we have, while he is the very essence of life itself and not corrupt but pure and other than us to begin with. As a side note to this. One minister said that, “We become what we worship.” With the understanding of worship being defined as, (Loving, adoring, attentive, feeding and investing into, and carefully cherishing and holding, etc.). As a comparison here; If we love our sex lives with whomever and whatever, ((See Romans 1:24 Contemporary English Version So God let these people go their own way. They did what they wanted to do, and their filthy thoughts made them do shameful things with their bodies.)) If we love war, violence, death etc. then God gives us over to the result of it. “Those who live by the sword will die by the sword”. Another shows us that the word, ‘sin’, can be also translated to Iniquity and Transgression. When you look into the word ‘Iniquity’ in picture form you can see it broken down into three images in Hebrew. First as an eye, then a hook, then many fish. It convenes the idea that if you allow the sin you desire to inter your life it will multiply in your life. Understand that the eye is in other words, set your vision to, set your affection on, to appease your appetite with. That is quite an in-your-face truth when applied correctly. Think of it as a seed in your life. At first you may or may not have a vision of a harvest in one years’ time. You play with the idea of it at first, like taking a dandy lion flower and blow it about your yard – in essence, you invest and plant the seed. You care for it; you nourish it and feed and care for it. In one years’, time you harvest the multiplying seed. Thus, your cup runs over whelming in your life. ((And a cry was heard in the city, a man seen on the roof top shouting – “Were did these weeds come from Aghhh!”)) A little look here and there, a short glance at the computer late at night, it’s just a pen or note pad from work, the book from the library years ago, that thing I said to him or her when they were hurting and confused. Hmmm! NO! I am not saying we should be legalistic in our lives, but to focus our attention and desire to Him and Him alone. To have a vision and desire of his Holiness and not our own. God calls us to be Holy like he is Holy. We are called NOT to be like the world around us, to separate ourselves from them. The sermon on the Mount is a standard for that idea. If we truly want to be transformed by the renewing of our mind in his word, then I believe we should set our eyes, our vision, cares and affections on HIM. To pray that we see his Holiness. To yearn for his Holiness. To desire above all His Holiness in our lives. Are we tempted? Do we sin when we set our eyes on someone or something else then Jesus? (See Peter when Jesus call everyone in the boat to come to him.) Understand this. Jesus came in our flesh, but he is not like us. He comes to search for the one of the Nity nine. We are called to be that one of the Nity nine. God himself said to us that he searches for the one in all of the world whose heart are his. 2 Chronicles 16:9. Isn’t interesting to see of all of those who followed him (+/- 500) he lost one and that of his, (judas’ own desire/heart that wasn’t his, to do so). C. P. Beanland

With respect to you sir. and It might be my fault here for not clarifying things. I see things a little different here. My statement of "On our hands bit..." Is my way aligning myself as those before me did in scripture. Abraham saying to God, Would you kill those righteous with the evil? Moses saying to God, do not destroy them for your reputation. Jeremiah speaking to God saying, 4:22-24 My people are stupid . . . Daniel saying to God, 9:5 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, ((WE have sinned and done wrong. WE have been wicked and have rebelled; WE have turned away from your commands and Law . . . . . . ")) This intercession on our behalf to the God of creation for those around us seems to connect our prayers to the sins of the people. As Christ took on the sins of mankind so should we, (I believe), take on the sins of the people around us (For the purpose of confession) and asking for forgiveness. Didn't Job speak to God saying "If any of my children have sinned . . .?" and God praised him as a right standing man before the host of Heaven. How can we honestly lift up the fallen of our brothers if we do not see, understand, and relate even if it is a little bit with there sins. Admittedly if you do not have that sin in your life it is impossible for you to know, but with that said. we all know sin as a constant companion in our lives. You may not know the sin of Lust in a sexual way, but you might know Lust in food at 600 lobs, or drugs, drink, work acholic, gaining power and authority over people. It is ALL LUST of a veering degree. So it is in this light that I speak and in prayer, I confess. C. P. Beanland

Cool and clear to know. I would suggest you make this statement a part of the introduction to the Newbie's, so they are not questioning things. I am rather black and white with a mind set of 'give orders and obey order', something from my military background here in America. ((I do not)) mean to come across offensive if I do sir. Just trying to learn and know my boundaries. C. P. Beanland

This is not doing what you are showing. Am I not big enough for the site or am I not pushing the right buttons? I am doing just what you said and I do not see the same thing as you show. C. P. Beanland

Would someone tell me about blogs and how you guys work them. what are they for and how they work, etc. I do not trust myself. C. P. Beanland

You got me on this. Blog ? ? ?

If we are to believe there is a God of creation, then it comes down to a legal decision of the supreme court of your own mind. Either there is or there is not a creator. No other question can come into play until that issue is resolved. Because, if there is not a creator then, any other question one might have is rendered moot. Ah! But if there is a creator that gives us an endless supply of question to ask. You, being the supreme court of your own mind must decide first; who that creator is. Second; what was his intentions were on creating you and the end results might be of your life. Is the creator of our known universe “Buddha”? “Confucius” of China? “Mohammed” of the Arab world or the Hebrew people’s “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”? The next question is the big “Why”? That one question forces all of us to the realization that not only there is a God but he had desires to create us “The want to”, hence the reason he did it. That understanding makes us comes to grip with our own response to his desires. To be held responsible and accountable to him in the end. It is no different on our own human terms when we create something in our own world. Be it food dish item for our consumption, a tool for our use or even a family to put it in a much larger view of human life and the “why not”, even bigger than that. Why not the creation of a country for the betterment of mankind? Now, if we do not respond back to him as he wishes us to do then that forces him to do what, on our behalf? What would you do if a tool you invested time and effort in making, fails to preform to your expectation? Say a pen made of the finest wood splits or a knife with a deer antler handle falls apart completely? Is he any different in regards to us on the same account? Or say a country fails to live up to its responsibility in the care and welfare of its own people? What then? One might think that the responsibility is only one sided in that regard – meaning our response to him. Not so, “says I” As the creator, by the sheer fact of his desire of creating us makes him accountable to us. So how is he *accountable which I admit might be a bad word here. Point one; in this; *You would think that by his efforts and desires of creating us he would want to enjoy us, be involved in our lives. Point two; *That he had a direct purpose for his effort, “a cause and effect” if you will. If you think he does not, then doesn’t that mean his was board, mean, cupreous, or even indifferent? Just choose an adjective and insert it here ________. If he was any of those things I have spoken about, what type of God is he? Why go through the mental effort and then the act of the creation process just so he wouldn’t show himself to his creation. Why make the car if you’re not going to drive the thing in the first place. Can be asked. Maybe he created us just so he could be mean to us? Yea. That’s right. Make the car for the purpose of wreaking it on the road of life. How do you think Ford would see that as a good business model? Hmmm. Why go through the effort of desiring, planning, arranging, investing time, money and the very act of making the child for the family, to be with the family if you are only going to leave the child there at the hospital for the next few years or decades. Then if you think about it you might go by to see how the little tikes doing. That just does not make any sense. With that said, just what should our response be to him, the ultimate Parent, Father and creator of all things? 1.) God! Dad do I have to have a lecture? Just beat me and get it over with. 2.) Dad! You do not know what it’s like for me to be living here. 3.) You’re not the boss of me, I do what I want and there isn’t anything you can do about it. 4.) Go ahead and throw me out on the streets, (Hell) that’s why I am here, isn’t it? 5.) Bla, bla, bla. Eventually, at some point in the parents’ lives they are going to take a stand and do what? And please understand that they love the child, desire the creation they have made and because of the rebellion of the child they are given no other choice but to deal with the child’s response to them. Really, think about that now. Would God be any different to us in his response to us? To our smart mouth, punk, disrespectful attitudes, our rebellious, our taking him for granted in all that he does for us? If “We” as humans would make our own children tow the line in their response to us how much more would God make us toe the line. Isn’t he as “The Ultimate Father” even more entitled? Would it be honest to say that as a father you require your child to call you (Pray) a 100 times a year or a month, to gain your approval? No? I didn’t think that you would. How about when your child tells you “If you really care for me, Dad, you would have stopped the pain I was going through but Oh! No. You didn’t even try did you? Your response to him might be, “I tried son but you didn’t let me be around you. You didn’t even call me for my help, you only called me to tell me it was all my fault for “you” choosing you wife, your life, your way, your drugs. A lot of people in your life told you what a bad father I was to you but I still cared for you and wanted to be with you. My heart yearned to be with you and wanted to hold you in my arms. You believed a lie son. I always wanted to be with you. You never came to me so I could bring you home. Now that you are dying all I can do is to watch you die in pain and weep for the loss of my son from a very far off place. Please understand son, that even now if you call out to me then I will be there for you because I love you. I will hold you in my arms as you pass into the next world. Just ask me to be there for you. Then you and I will never be separated again. That would be a very cool Dad, to my way of thinking. That would be the God I love. C. P. Beanland

With respect, I have never equated "The Abyss", as the same as Hell. In the rich man and Lazarus story, we see the two places in hell separated as paradise and punishment for the dead. Later on we see Jesus confront the Gardnerian Demonic and they begged him not to send them into the Abyss. In your ref. of Revelation 9:11 The angle is sent to the abyss to release said creatures who are ruled over by the King of the Abyss to torment those on the earth. It would seem to me that the Abyss is a separate place reserved for those other than us. Hell is never spoken of as having a King. C. P. Beanland

Mr. M You cite James 3: 5&6 and it gives me a moment of pause. Now you cite the Old Testament Number 16:35. I have to say I must digest this for a bit. I know and understand it will not be a full clear vision but it is something to ponder. I consider Jesus and if it was hard for God in the flesh to describe hell for us then I am a very poor student trying too better what he said about it. And when I say "hard", what I mean is like the following. An adult telling a five year old why the laws of Physics determines why he can't jump off the roof and fly. He is force to use little words so the little intelligence can accept it and trust the adult in it. C. P. Beanland

Can you clarify your question on that? I guess what I am getting at or leaning toward is the idea of, the America idea of the two lines of reasoning (Satan rules so he get to punish us and it is God who rules hell and it is HE that punishes us). That leads me to ask if God - then Hell must be Holy in nature. Who has ever heard of a Holy Hell as a place of torment? I guess I am fighting my upbringing and working though this for clarity. This though came to me as I was writing a story. The story allow for description of hell and the purpose of hell. To express both ides here I have point of view from the inquirer and the person being punished. I DO NOT want to come off as a religious nut job, but a well thought out, and well researched "with literary lic. description" view of hell. C. P. Beanland

I have updated my photo to the one God opened the door on. I was being seen at a hospital and while there I was asked if I would represent "The Veterans" as the First lady "Jill Biden", was coming in for a meet and greet before going to Japan for the Olympics. I use this picture to remind me to pray for her and her husband. Why God would open this door . . I do not understand. I just came in from the island of Kodiak, but I will trust him in it.
