The Tattooed Lady (Nurse?) Well, this certainly was an interesting experience. We get a few specialists and technicians here as needed, even though still in Stage IV Covid-19 Lockdown Quarantine Status. Xray techs, some RNs, (registered nurses) and a rare physician on occasion. I was down at the nurses station getting some pain meds for this accident that occurred on the first of June last month, and came across a nurse tech specialist from OPTIMA. No, I have no idea exactly who or where she is from or does. It's all very confidential here. Weird things happen in a nursing care facility and they don't talk about much. I do have ways to get them to talk! (hehe) One of them came up as we were gathering around for some fresh watermelon punch. Great stuff! One from OPTIMA and totally "tatted out" (w/ tattoos) strolled up for some of the punch. I've been pretty bold lately and said, "Nice 'sleeve' work you have there." (complete arm tatts) and we struck up a convo on some of her body art. I'm not into this, nor does it appeal to me. But, I did notice she had a picture of the face of Christ with a crown of thorns. Some other face was beneath and I asked what all this meant to her. I also asked if she was a Christian or not. Well, she couldn't or wasn't exactly comfortable saying something of a confession in front of the other nurses, so we stepped to the side to continue talking about things and what she did believe. She was evasive for a direct answer for her beliefs and I asked her two things, "Who is Jesus to you?" and "Do you think He was Messiah come in the flesh?" She replied, "Well, He was a man." Hmm. We continued on these lines for a bit. I asked, "Emmanuel, God with us."? Did she think so? Or was she a 'cosmic universalist' or something? And I became more direct. She didn't want to identify as a 'Christian' for the stigma of the name for some reason. Okay. Then did she believe He was our Saviour and Lord, Son of God? And she pondered the idea. I mentioned, Simply believing for the sake of having some kind of assurance of faith as I was pretty sure we were going to come to war soon. "World World III?" She inquired. "Yes. More or less, that would be pretty much it." was my response. China has allied with the Middle East already and there's two things they now want besides oil and electronics trades. Military forces. Yes, it's not looking good. It's immanent and is coming down the wire. I spelled out the entirety of Revelation, the false messiah, the mark of the beast, and cataclysmic events in the earth. "You know about this stuff?" she looked at me rather puzzled. "I'm involved with a Judeo/Christian website forum, where I share faith in Christ with others and write some articles and commentaries. Yes, we discuss these issues all the time. She became very interested at this point. "Scary stuff!" She said, looking directly into my eyes. I told her, "Yeah, only if you don't know Jesus the Christ as your Lord. It will be." And I continued sharing the importance of getting our lives and hearts in order to receive Him at His coming. We don't know when or what time. By prophesies, we do know it seems indicative. Was she ready? Not yet? Wouldn't she like to be? And at that point one of our regulars interrupted the topic for something of their concern. I did attempt to plant some seeds of faith within her though. At this point, I'll strike up a conversation with just about anyone. We need to get the word out, brothers and sisters. Jesus is Lord! Thanks for taking the time to read the event of my day. God bless. Shalom, David/BeauJangles P.S. I'm not sure this topic will take any notice or activity, but I'll attempt to keep with it if possible. It's been busy here and well, let's see how things go. Soon will be dinner time. It's 4:55 pm in California. Shabbat begins at sundown.
