I SEE THE LIGHT

(WRITTEN 1/28/12)
It's bright and I feel compelled to walk into the light... wait that is for another time. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel of healing. By the first of March, my legs should be strong enough to allow me to work again. This past week I finally see and feel I will achieve full recovery from this long ordeal with my blood clot and muscle tear and yes, and having an allergic reaction to medication that set my healing back a month. There were days I thought I would never heal and this is as good as it is going to get. Depression and doubt and fear crept in like a thief in the night. Sometimes battling my mind and emotions was harder than battling the physical.

I immersed myself in prayer to Almighty God for healing. Also, I read every day the stories in the Holy Bible where Jesus Christ healed all manner of sickness and infirmities. Matthew 8:14-17 and  Luke 4:38-41 are just two examples but there are many more like John 5:1-8 that gave me encouragement that God cared and loved me just like the people in Bible times. The Holy Spirit spoke to my anxiety that my time to be healed was coming and that the healing had already begun.

I was not shy to ask everybody to pray a healing pray for me. I ask to be put on every church Prayer List I could for healing. I went to the Upper Room prayer website and emailed them to pray for my healing. I even asked the Hosts of Heaven to pray on my behalf and Mother Mary to ask her Son to be merciful and heal me. I believe very strongly in the power of prayer and what is called intercessory prayer or the pray to God on behalf of others. Now for all my Protestant brothers and sisters of whom I am one of them, let me say I believe if we can ask people on earth to pray for us, we can ask the Heavenly Host to pray for us also because they are on our side too.

In the last two weeks, I have seen and felt some amazing strides in my healing. My blood thinner medicine is now in the therapeutic range. My balance is coming back and I am no longer prey for cow-tipping or in this case, Rick tipping. Taking steps without the aid of the walker is so exciting. Walking to me is now a miracle action all to itself.

Doctors diagnosis but God heals, amen. I want to share with the world that God is healing me because He loves me and wants to answer our prayers. Now I am at the pool of Bethesda and I have told Jesus I want to get well. Then Jesus said to Rick, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." ...he picked up his mat and walked. Amen. Alleluia.

CATHOLIC TENDENCIES

  Ever since I was introduced to the Catholic Church I have been fascinated by this body of the Christian faith. One thing that has stuck with me that I admire is the unashamed strength to stand up for what they believe and back it up with The Three Pillars of the Church. Now for those who do not know The Three Pillars, they are number one, Sacred Scripture which comprises the Old Testament and New Testament in a total of seventy-three books. Next is the Apostolic Tradition which is the Living Tradition and the liturgies. Thirdly, The Living Magisterium which is the teaching authority of the Pope in Communion with the Bishops. So what brought this topic up for me is listening to a podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz denouncing the opening in France of the Olympics when blasphemy was committed by mocking The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. I know some of you are thinking this is already old news. At the time, so many wrote and talked about it that I felt it would be overkill if I wrote about i...

FAKE-FALSE-DECEPTIVE

  I have recently been thinking about what it is like to live in a time when you have to rethink or fact-check everything. It is tiring and outright exhausting not being able to trust things at face value. THE BIG PRINT GIVES IT and the little print takes it away!  Satan works this way in our lives: You are of the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 It is no wonder we have to be constantly alert and on guard. Fake news is a big one but there are knock-off Air Jordan sneakers, Gucci handbags, Rolex watches, and the list goes on and on. Identity theft is another player on the block where a person steals another person's identity and then poses as them but they are just a cheap knock-off! I want the truth. I want authenticity. I do not want to waste my ...

TRAVELING WITH ROMA TO ROME

  Throughout my years with Roma, I have dragged her through so many different church doors to either preach or play music for, or simply to explore. She has been a really good sport about it all. But last month she came to me and told me from the heart that before she dies she wants to be Catholic.  Channeling my inner Baptist long-windedness I will share with you a very tender and private story of faith.  Roma grew up going to St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. She went to school there and worshipped there too. When she came of age she wanted to be Catholic and her mother would not allow it. She was heartbroken. She eventually went to the Episcopal Church as a compromise. But in our intimate talks recently she shared deep down she wants to be Catholic before she dies. This has been a lifelong buried desire of hers. I love her and so I have been working on seeing if I can make this happen for her through my contacts that I have. I would naturally join with her so she is not...
