Oct/ 30/2025 DS in Action

           Stands for Divine Spirit. With me it is with my efforts in fixing some problem I have going on. I do what I can and then ask DS to intercede for me. Then I get to see how it does things.  You can say coincidence but I do not. It operates on it's schedule. Alot of times I would like it to be  quicker though. 

      When I'm in a store, I have a couple things in my hand. The person that is front of me has a cart of stuff. My thoughts are let me go ahead but I say nothing, then the person would say go ahead of me. I do. Then I say to them May God do something good for you before the sun sets. I also let people go ahead of me at stores. So, yesterday at Wallmart I park behind a car. There is a faint bumper sticker that says may something good happen to you today. A verification of my own thoughts. Greeting people with have a nice day can help them out during their day. A little upliftment who knows how that can benefit them. I know one thing it makes me feel good. 

        So I push through the problem at hand. Like the problems with my car since the beginning of February. It still ongoing. But many times DS has helped me out of a sticky jamb. When a  new problem comes up, I say I will get through this. And I do with the DS help. When you can see it for yourself. Your world will change. Don't sit back and wait for divine providence but do take action. Then your eyes will be opened. This is what these Blogs are about. Every Sunday look back at your week and see if you can spot it's help. Also how many times did you call on DS to help you out. Answers can come in seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks. Take note. So worth it.

Oct 20/2025 HELL

         It is real. It is of your own making. You can choose actions here on earth, that will give you that experience. Also, you will judge yourself when you die. If you believe yourself to be unworthy, you will be in Hell as well. 

        To get out of that so called place, forgive yourself and ask for God's grace. You can do this on both sides of the veil. When you forgive others as well as yourself, you release the shackles that bind you to the lower realms. 

        When out and about, be kind to others even if they're not nice to you. Try to turn the conversation to a positive tone. Or you can ask DS to intercede for you. And the last resort is to walk away from the situation. Try to stay positive in whatever predicament happens to be in front of you. These actions will pay off for you in making your life better. Sow good seed for your future harvest. And Hell will no longer be of consequence for you. 

Oct/11/2025 They Hit the Mark

          On the Road with Steve Hartman, told the story how an Oklahoma high schools' basketball title win presented a quandary to the team that won. Team A won on the court. But it's coach felt an unease about it, because there was some problem in the score keeping. When he got home, he wanted to get the game film and review it. After the review he found that his team actually lost by 1 point. He told his team the bad news. He took a poll of the players and they all wanted to return the title to team B. Legally they didn't have to but morally was another story. Team B was given the plaque by team A.

        This story is what it is all about when the human race can shine bright. We can all aspire to do the same in our own life. Team A showed the world the right way to live life. Kudos to them! 

         Making the right decision in our life can get tricky but we can call on DS for guidance.

Oct/07/2025 That First Impulse

        My car has over 205,000 miles on it. But when I hover over the motor, I feel that the motor is good. Other things have been going bad though to be expected. So I don't get rid of it. That first thought worked for me. Now, I'm getting this new phone. I'm in T - Mobile, use to be Sprint. I've had a Note 9 since 2017. The case is messed up and new screen is 250 dollars. So I'll get a new one. My first impulse was to stay with the Samsung new phone. They had a new android phone Google. I liked it and it was also an android phone. I got that. Got home and it had a glitch in the software. Couldn't use it. Bring it back and they fix it. Good I 'm happy. Go home  find out latter that my notes did not transfer over to the new phone. Call them up, they say it should transfer since they're both android phones.  Go there and gal finds out the notes only transfer if it is a Samsung phone. Go home new phone is working. Juice up my old phone. Can't make calls but I can get my notes to come up. They want 75 dollars for a restock fee eventhough I had it less than a week. Now I'm thinking hold on to both phones.

         So there you have it. I listened to my first thought with the car and that worked out in my opinion. Then I disregarded it with the phone. Aaagh! So I'm at 50 %. I want to be at 100%. But in baseball terms I'm batting .500 which is way more than good.

        It's always something. But when we go through it. Hopefully, we still have our somewhat peace of mind.

Oct /6 /2025. More Car Woes

        I knew I had a problem with my starter. So when the car started in the morning, I would leave it running. When I stopped anywhere, I let it run. Then with my second key, I would lock the car. I would burn the extra gas. This worked for a month. I went to a store that sells used car parts. I called first to see if they had the part. I tried about 10 places before finding the starter. Years ago it would be 25 dollars. Now it's 65 dollars. Brand new one can be up to 400 dollars. I asked the gal how many miles on the wreck. 132,000 miles. Good that gives me 70,000 mi left on it, I hope. I shook it and it was tight. I left it in the car, til I would need it. This scenario worked out for a month. Until I was doing a job at somebodies house. I turned it off because I would be there 3 hrs. Get back in the car and it doesn't start. DS helped many times in the past with car troubles but not this time. This one was on me. I rolled it onto the street. The tow guy wanted 80 bucks. Nope. I ask a friend and he didn't want to tow me with a tow rope. Called AAA to join but there is a waiting period before you can use the tow service, like a week. Nope. Then I call my insurance company. Do I have towing, no. I put it on for 10 dollars a month extra and they let me have my tow right away. Very thankful for that. Tow it to my house. I called the service station prior and they wanted 250 dollars to put it in, tax is extra. Nope. I watch a you tube video in how to do it. I get the part out of the car. On it in a grease pen it says 2012, my car is a 2010. Uh  oh. I call an auto part store zo see if it would fit. They couldn't give me a definitive answer. I looked on line it said no it would not fit. Then I got smart, I called  the Hyundai dealer. I read him my part number from the starter. He said it would fit. Good. When I replaced starters before I would go under my truck and do it. It would take 40 minutes. Take out 2 bolts and disconnect 2 wires. This car,  to do it, you do it from the top. Now that is a pain. I got it out, and had to thread it through the tubing and wires at back of motor.  Putting the new one back in was harder as I had to hold it in place with 1 hand and thread bolts back in. Then attaching the 2 wires , you do it by feel because you can't see the thing. Turn the key it starts right up. Very happy.  Saved $267 with tax. Thank you DS,  in the things seen and unseen that happen for me.

        Don't give up. Be creative in all aspects of your life. Invite D S               ( divine spirit) into your life. Glean the lessons that come your way. Stay positive, it helps your mental state. Do at least one kind action a day. All of this helps in opening your heart. Best part is anyone can do it at any stage of life.

9/23/2025 3 Rose Bushes

         I use the term bush loosely. They look like sticks in the ground' with some discolored leaves. In the Spring they put out flowers, maybe 25. We had decent rain in the Spring and early Summer. After the initial bloom, it pretty much stopped. So we haven't had a good rain in a month now. I looked at them, sorry  state of affairs. So 3 weeks ago I started to water them. After 10 days, I noticed a bud on 1 of them. In 2 days it opened, beautiful 4 inches across. Then I got 3  more buds. And the leaves started  to get greener. The other 2 roses', nothing til yesterday where I see 1 bud at the top of it. So far the middle bush nothing.

        So, a rose knows what it is and that it's suppose to kick out roses. With a little help from me, it was able to fulfill it's purpose. Now with us. A lot of us don't know who we are. And this is our purpose. To know it and to be it. Instead of water we can use DS ( Divine Spirit). We ask a question snd then look for the answer. We build up with those answers. And when we get enough of those answers, then like the rose we broadcast the divine from within. That Divine spark exists in all of us. No matter how bad our outer appearance or self worth,  that spark of brilliance is stil there.....waiting to shine forth once more.

9/18/2025 Phone

         My phone is getting old.  2018 note 9. I like the phone. When the interface failed 3 years ago I paid 300 and some odd dollars to get it fixed. 3 months ago I had the 3rd battery put in for 60, which was a good deal. 7 months ago I dropped the phone on the pavement from getting out of the car. Landed face down. It still worked but had small cracks in the glass. When I first got it I had liquid glass put over it. This is what cracked. It's been getting worse in the cracking since. Guy said I need a new screen. 280 dollars. I was thinking about doing it but I held off because  of the age of the phone. I put packing tape on the worse cracks,  little pieces of tape. Now, last week I see in the morning a dark 3/8 inch sliver of something on my white cutting board board, where I sit to eat at the table. Thought it was weird some food scrap.  I go to pick up my phone to turn it on. Doesn't turn on. I try several times. I look closer, the little small rectangular side button is gone. Yep that piece on my cutting board is the button. I put it in and press , phone goes on. But the piece falls out. I cut a small piece of packing tape and wrap it around button and 2 sides of the phone. So far after a week , no problem turning it on & off. In life when problems arise, we have to get creative. In the last 2 years , there has been a lot of creativity here. Well after this debacle, I come to the conclusion it is time for a new phone. Sadly no more  note phones are made. Went to T- mobile  to get a new phone. I would pay it off. A big catch is I would need 85 dollars upfront. I said put it on my bill. No can do says them.  Iv'e been with them as Sprint customer for 25 years. I am greatfull that my old phone is still working. Soon I will get a new phone.

       Always work with what you got.
