5/24/2020 The Game of Chicken

    There was a time I would buy my eggs from the gal up the road from me. Her chickens were of different varieties, who were not penned up. They were happy chickens. Eh... once in awile one chicken wouldn't make it back from it's jaunt. She told me a couple stories that I found quite enlightening.

 
    When she was getting married, she always envisioned it occuring in her Catholic church. That was her heart desire. However, she hardly attended the church like her mother, who always did. She went to the priest and told him of her plans to be married in his church. The answer came back negative, your not a real member of the church. The fight was on but the priest would give no ground. In a fit of rage she barked to the priest, I hope you drop dead, turned her back and headed for the heavy door. Without a look back. She got married allright, just not at the church. Later from her mother she heard the priest had a massive heart attack and died about a week after her blow up with him .

    The second incidence happened many years after they were married. They were going at it one morning and she was steamed.  As he Ieft the house one fine Saturday morning, she yelled at him, I hope your right rear wheel falls off. Four hrs later she gets a call from him. Hon....  remember those last words you hurled at me this morning. Yes I do... what about it. You're not going to believe it, but my right rear wheel fell off the truck, just like you said. In he future please be carefulI what  you say to me.... Ok.

    I always paid her in cash, for my eggs. This guy here,  was not about to play chicken with the chicken lady. So... the more emotion you pack behind words the faster they will come home to roost!

5/22/2020 Storm

    Last two weeks or so, I wrote about the dandelion. And last week, early in the morning I was treated to a snow storm. I never have seen this before to such an extant. But this one was gentle and not made of frozen water. Sometimes snow flakes can be huge as these were. Compressed, fluffy white seed heads wafting around on a zephry(a gentle breeze). They were all around me and went up to 20 ft high. Nobody around in this neighborhood and no sounds about. I turned down one street and looking 200 ft down the road where the pavement met the grass, it looked like a dusting of snow. Looking closely revealed the individual stars of the dandelion. How magnificent. So small the little bits of light. They individually were trapped by single dark green blades of grass that were the people's yards.  What a gift!  Thank you spirit!

5/22/2020 A Nasty Little Fence

    I worked for this gal Janet one day. She wanted me to fix the den cieling,  it had water damage. My husband fIushed some face cloths and hand towels down the toilet, why I asked? She said he had alzheimers. Several years prior, she came home from work and he wasn't there. He comes in 1/2 hr later. Well were you been, delivering the mail, he says. She said just put it the box and raise flag and postman will take care of it. No I'm doing it. At the time she didn't think much about it. Looking back, it was the time that alzheimers was making an inroad. A year after I fixed the cieling, he died. Janet was in her 80's but she was quick witted and ambulatory. One day she says come look in this bedroom. The bed just had a sheet on it. When she was making bed a drop of water hit the bed. I look at ceiling, just a slight mark of the paint. I go to roof, no holes. I get a drill with 18 in bit and drive it through cieling, then disengage the bit from the drill, leaving bit stuck in cieling. I go into attic and see the bit sticking out of the insulation. I took another bit lined it up with bit poking through insulation and drill up through the roof. I went on top of roof and removed the shingle and found the hole. Patched everything up, good as new.  If there's a will there's a way!

    Her adult daughter would joke about this t v comercial, I've fallen and I can't get up. In the end, she never got her that neckless with the button you press for help. Janet had this one foot high metal fence that went around her patio. She would step over it, to attend to the bird feeder. I would always say let me get rid of the fence. She would always say no. On a cool day, it bit her. She went for a tumble. She crawled to the sliding glass door but could not stand up to open it. She spent 6 hrs on that cold concrete pad, until her neighbor got home from work. She broke her ankle. Took another fall in the house 6 mos later that put her in a home where she quickly died. The first stumble over the fence was what did her in.

    This didn't have to be this way. Look ahead for potential pitfalls and then address them. Don't be so adamant about it. Think... Look... and... Listen... before making a decision. Let spirit help guide you along the way.

5/20/2020 What's in a Prism

    Thats prism not to be confused with a prison. One is freeing the other confining. A friend of mine Dan,  gets a calI from a woman,  I want you to do a painting for me. He says Ok. Her story, I was dying from cancer and her doctors didn't hold out much hope for her. She wanted to be with her family, what to do? She said,  ok God please give me a sign that I'll be getting better and cured. And please Iet that sign be a rainbow. Thankyou God. Several days later, rain storms hit the area all night long. In the morning, the clouds began to breakup. She dragged herself out of the hospital bed and inched to the window. OMG. There was a huge wide rainbow in the early light. Not only that but the end of that rainbow was coming out of a grassy field just past the hospital parking lot. I've never seen the end of a rainbow. (Me speaking). Her prayer was heard! and granted. Why? She spoke from her heart, that's why. Doctor's couldn't beleive it, the tumors were disappearing. Full blown remission.  With pep in her step and a wide smile on her face, she walked out of there giddy,  into the light.

    When sunlight strikes water droplets in the air it can be refracted or split. White light enters the droplet and exits as different collered light rays, giving you a rainbow. God's love hits the human heart and does the same but exits as many blessings. No more valley  for her. She walked forth from then on in God's promise. You too can have God's promise, start by asking.

5/19/2020 To Those Who Wait

    All good things come. Maybe. From what I've seen, it's early bird gets the worm. Anything I wanted I had to go get. The more that desire is the quicker you will get it. Trick is you better make sure you really want it. Once that focus is dead on,  don't stop tilI you get it. You say I will get this done with spirits help.

    I was in a supermarket once with two hands of goods. There were 2 lines and I'm waiting 5 mins and the line does not move. That does it, I put the goods down and leave. Drive one block theres another store, go in, gather up my goods. I'm number 3 in line, way better. A guy comes to me, step to this register, from 3 to I. Wow. This was a small thing. Most of the time, I'm a settler. Not a good thing. Settling gets you exactly what you don't want. Trust me, don't be a settler. Stay in the hunt. Go after what you want, oh there's a big obstacle up ahead, what to do, go around it, find a way, there is a way. Keep on it. Get your writing book, pick something small that you want, give it a week. See if you can get it done. If it doesn't happen in a week, then do it, till It's done. Write down how long it takes. Keep this process going. It will build up your confidence and trust in spirit.

    I went to this lecture once. There was a gal, I took notice of in the begining of lecture. Later she stood up to ask a question, the lecturer could not answer it. When it was over a handful of participants were around her, asking her questions. We all went to a diner, I wanted to sit by her, but someone beat me to it. I focused on it and that space opened up. Sat right down next to her. Relationship lasted 2 yrs. I thought that's what I wanted. Spirit let me see how to be responsible for my choices. At a party, a couple of my friends let me know, she wasn't for me, I dismissed their advice. Those outside the situation can see more clearly than you.

    I did some work for a guy, who was moving into his first house. The house occupant died, to get the house, he had to clean it out. Twenty trailers worth of trash all by himself. He had a big family, nobody came to help him. I told him that wouldn't happen in my family. He gets me a job working for his sister. They wanted moulding stained+ urethaned in kitchen. Two hundred bucks, they accept. It's night, pull on to road, the traveling trunk I had in truck bed slides off to the side and lands in street. Fancy car behind me hits it, taking out headlight. Tell him I'll pay for it get me an estimate. He agrees. Back to job, guy at hardware store gives me a product that would even out the stain on pine wood, making it less blotchy. I put it on. Oh Oh it was a sealer, the stain doesn't sink in too well. I have to sand and steel wool all the moulding. I can't afford to replace wood. I spend 5 days at it. The stain does take way better than it was. It hurt big time making this mistake, I felt bad for them. Laying in bed, I ask spirit for help. I have a vision, me and owner in his garage he says something, a couple sentences and I reply. The give and take is about five times. Vision over. Back at the house, last day. What should of taken me I day lasted five days. The wife looks around and says it's ok but something is a little off. Oh Oh, quick exit to garage. There's the guy, just like my vision. He said his lines and I used my lines from the vision without adding any words. It all played out to a Tee. Word for word. We left on good terms. Thankyou spirit! A week later I get the headlight bill,  paid it in cash. Yep.    200 bucks . That lesson was worth the 2OO bucks.

5/18/2020 Nightmare to end all Nightmares

    Since I was a kid, I had a fascination with Ufos(unidentified flying objects). Are they real? I followed the Apolo program. I made sure to stay awake until Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. My family members were watching but eventually they packed it in, not me. I told myself no matter what happens, do not fall asleep. And I didn't. It was early morning I or 2 am, it was so worth it. When I was a kid, we'd play hey moon make a face and it did, we could see a human face looking back at us. Now the tables were turned, a human face was looking down at it from 6 ft away.

    I soon bought a book on flying saucers. It was about Roswell and peoples encounters with these phenomena. Every once n awhile I'd pick up another book on the subject. I believe there was a crash of some disk shape craft at that time. The sightings of these crafts picked up after the Hiroshima bomb drop. One day I'm watching tv and a reporter is showing around 10 or more round like orbs in the air near Mexico City, in broad daylight. Bright blue sky. The craft would move at odd angles and speeds. The camera would show city skylines then pan on up to the aerial display. There was no mention on American national news. Even Jimmy Carter the ex prez says he saw a ufo. Barney Hill and his wife, I think they were from Vermont had an encounter with the unknown. They were in their car, then a bright light and then they experienced missing time. Barney had a mysterious collered mark near his ear. They both were regressed using a form of hypnosis. They both related their experience on a ship of some sort. Then I saw a movie on tv, Fire in the Sky about Arizona loggers and their encounter with a ufo. One of them was taken up into the craft. Totaly terrifying. Fisherman have seen craft dive into the Caribbean sea and others have seen craft enter the caldera of volcanoes. Either they come from other planetary systems or they're from here or both. Some reports talked of crop circles and cattle mutalitons and men in black, just weird stuff. Then the hybrid stories, alien/ human offspring. What? I followed these stories. One gal recalled talking to one of these aliens and saying what gives you the right to create this new form of life? The alien said, we have every right in the world. I took this to mean, that they themselves are the creators.

    I had a friend who was more into it than me. He showed me pictures that he had took of ufos, I saw it, didn't know what to make of them. One day said friend was at a pool party at my house. I'm in the pool, he says come over here and look up. Circling are about 6 birds 100 ft up, it's about a 10 ft circle. Looking through the circle I see a rotating silver garbage can like craft. It's about 2,000 or more ft up in a blue sky. I knew it was rotating because it would glint every 5 secs when the sunlight would bounce off. It stayed there over 40 mins. Everybody at party saw it. No it wasn't a helicopter. Another friend of mine tells me his encounter. He lived about 2 miles from me. He wakes up about 3am,  a wierd light is shining in his room. He looks out his window and the moon is there and something else too. One huge disk saucer, 10 ft off the ground, maybe 100 ft in diameter. He goes to his mother's room. Mom,  wake up I have to show you something and keep quiet. He slowly cracks open the mini blinds, his mother starts to scream, he quickly covers her mouth. Shh he says they can hear you. His step dad comes in, the wife says to quick get a camera. Son and mom watch it move slow motion over yard and it rises to 50ft. Then just as father appears with camera, it explodes out of view. My friend who was in his early forties told me this. A couple yrs later, I met his mother at her house. say to her, did you see a ufo, she said she did swear to God. She was a Catholic woman, extremely nice and intelligent. She knew she wouldn't tell anyone unless she was asked.

    Which brings me to the nightmare. Two in the morning I awake with a start. WTF! What a dream I just had. I was on this ufo, can't move and they're doing some medical experiment on me. Get me the hell out of here! No help whatsoever! That's it! God! God! God! Help Help Help Me. Words come into my head... How Do You Know There Is A GOD. I pondered on that for 5 secs. If If there's a God, get me out of there. And he did. From that day forward, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt there is.     God

5/16/2020 Creeps for All

    They're out there for a reason. Bad upbringing maybe one reason, karma an other reason. I was about 4 yrs old, playing at a park swing set, having a good all time. Until a bigger kid pushed me down the slide ladder bars. Big creep. Wow I said to myself, thats something new. I'll be more cautious in the future. I didn't get hurt. Once school started, I did ok. The big kids were mouthing off to us as we stood in lines for each grade, in the morning. No violence, didn't see it. I'm about 9 or 10 now, there was a bigger kid down the block maybe 15 yrs old, he'd always be pi cking on me. One day I had enough and picked up a stone size of a quarter, I chased after him. During the chase I let the stone fly, figures I hit him in mouth and broke off a corner of a big tooth. We went to my garage where I was going to give him one of my tonka trucks, he'd point to one and I'd say not that one pick another. He pointed to another, I would say the same thing. I couldn't t work out a deal.  My dad worked out the deal with his parents my actions cost my dad money. Lucky me I didn't lose the love of my father. Next went to jr high, it was gym class. Some type of game outdoors, one group of boys on one side of the field was to run pass the other group of boys coming from the other side of the field. I see my friend get hit by another boy's upper arm. My friend got hurt. I saw something different that bad kid did it deliberately and I saw that face, pure anger, chilling. I would use the word evil. Sometimes I see it in people and stay away.  There was a kid down the street I would have words with. I challenged him to a fight on a neighbor's yard, turned into a wrestling match, I lost, across the street my father was watching. I'm glad he didn't interfere. Smart man. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. It stopped me from getting a big head. In high school, I challenged a boy who was a year ahead of me to a boxing match in gym class. We were dancing around, I threw a right, he dodged to the left and my right got his right ear good. He quick followed with a right to my stomache, fight over. Took me 2 mins to get my breath back. The gym teacher was great telling me what I could have done better as he unlaced my gloves. I quit too easy. Could have learned alot from gym teacher. Nope pugilism was not for me. It became a spectator sport for me.

    I was at a bar, talking to the guy next to me. I said something wrong to him, he got mad, wanted to fight me outside. I just talked to him in a low soothing monotone voice and after ten mins, he was asleep. Good job.

    I was working at a blue collar job, a foundry. We got back from lunch at a nearby bar. Mack was to be my helper, big strong guy. I broke the metal from the molds and he would stack the ingots, which were heavy. I was handing them off to my rear to him. Within mins I caught in his forehead blood everywhere, my fault. He came at me super mad, OH O H. But he managed to control himself. Mack wouldn't talk to me for2 weeks. The unofficial leader of the blue collars was Mirro, a big Puerto Rican. Going into work, we'd line up at the gate. I would snatch his hat and he had this faux upset mad going on. It was so funny. I would always flip the hat back to him. My most important job was to make the coffee, step aside Joe Dimaggio, I'm the king around here. Coffee is serious business, do not make any mistakes. I made it great and on time and arranged the donuts. I came in late one morning to the break room, Mirro says hey (my name),  Mack, he mad at you, he no talk to you. Everyone is sitting drinking coffee, no one says a word. I'm standing, I look over to Mack, he's got a mad look on. I say to Mirro, Mack doesn't hold any grudes, then I turn to Mack, do you Mack? Mack's face changed and a beautiful smile engulfed his face. No I don'!. We shook hands and resumed our friendship. That was a great experience that I treasure to this day, Something real bad became fantastic in 2 weeks. Spirit was there for sure. Thanks spirit.

    Last story. I was at my house doing some organizing and across the street I hear blaring music. After 30 mins, I go over there and say can you turn it down, I was mad. They did turn it down a little. Next week I'm driving in a rural area and theres a 4 way stop ahead. I step on brake, doesn't stop, slide through intersection. lucky for me, no other cars around. I use the emergency brake to get it to a mechanic. Puts it on lift, there's the problem, near the differential someone flattened each rear brake line. Those creeps across the street, paid me a visit, they did. I wondered why spirit didn't tip me off. But at the intersection spirit made sure, no other car was around. Bottom line, I went over across street mad. When your mad nothing good comes from it. That's what spirit allowed me to see.
