"If my unconscious carries a silent wound
I will always be black and blue inside.
I will not be able to approach situations
with open eyes for fear they will trigger
that un felt pain.
The grief that I carry hidden in silence
has great power over my life and my relationships....
Until I understand my grief
and allow myself to know it,
I will not be free of its grip."

AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
An atheist was walking through the woods.
"What majestic trees"!
"What powerful rivers"!
"What beautiful animals"!
He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river,
he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look.
He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path.
He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear
was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again,
& the bear was even closer.
He tripped & fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but
saw that the bear was right On top of him,
reaching for him with his left paw &
raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out,
"Oh my God!"
Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man,
a voice came out of the sky.
"You deny my existence for all these years,
teach others I don't exist and even credit creation
to cosmic accident."
"Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
Am I to count you as a believer"?
The atheist looked directly into the light,
"It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly
ask You to treat me as a Christian now,
but perhaps You could make the BEAR a Christian"?
"Very Well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And the bear dropped his right paw,
brought both paws together,
bowed his head & spoke:
"Lord bless this food,
which I am about to receive
from thy bounty through Christ our Lord,
Amen."

I AM A CHRISTIAN
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living."
I'm whispering "I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing “
I do stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide.”
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing “I am weak and need HIS strength to carry on.”
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting “I have failed and need God to clean my mess.”
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, “God believes I am worth it.”
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches so “I call upon His name.”
When I say...
"I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
”I'm just a simple sinner,
who received God's good grace, somehow.”

" Blue Sun "
" Blue Sun " September 1950
One of the best-documented occurrences
this century,happened during September 1950.
"The skies took on strange colors"
Strange sorts of lights,
followed by almost complete darkness.
Varying shades from pink and orange
to yellow and brown filled the sky .
The sun disc appearing and disappearing
through breaks in the clouds,
appeared blue or purple,
This incident was reported
in the scientific journal, Weather.
Like blue skies
blue, green or lavender
suns and moons,
owe their color to
scattering of light
in the atmosphere.
The difference is in the size
of the particles doing the scattering.
The sky is blue because the molecules of air
are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light.
Blue light has a shorter
wavelength than red,
and reacts more strongly
with the tiny molecules
than red does.
The blue light is thus scattered more than red,
and we see the scattered light of the sky
as blue and the sun as reddish,
especially when it is low in the sky
and must pass through a lot of air to reach our eyes.
The effect is called Rayleigh scattering,
and it is responsible for what is called Tyndall blue.
Blue eyes, some blue feathers,
and the bluish color of the veins in your skin
are all due to Rayleigh scattering.
Particles that are much larger
than the wavelength
of light scatter all wavelengths
about equally.
Clouds and snow
are made up of particles
several times larger than
the wavelength of light
and they look white.
Blue suns and moons
and pinkish skies
occur when there are particles
in the air whose size
is just a little larger
than the wavelength of light.
These particles can resonate with light
so that certain wavelengths are strongly scattered,
while others are only affected
about half as strongly.
Oily droplets about 1 micrometer across
(a twenty-five thousandth of an inch)
will scatter red light strongly,
while letting blue light pass through,
just the opposite of Rayleigh scattering.
On September 23, 1950,
several muskeg fires
that had been quietly smoldering
for several years in Alberta
suddenly blew up into major
and very smokey fires.
The winds
carried the smoke
eastward and southward
with unusual speed.
The conditions of the fire
produced large quantities
of oily droplets of just
the right size to scatter red
and yellow light.
Wherever the smoke cleared enough
so that the sun was visible,
appeared lavender or blue.
Ontario and much
of the east coast of the U.S.
were affected by the following day.
Two days later...
observers in England
reported an indigo sun
in smoke-dimmed skies,
followed by an equally
blue moon that evening.
Forest fires
are not the only possible
producers of blue suns.
Fine, far-travelled dust
and also volcanic ash
has been known to produce
the same effect.
Many of the scientific articles written
about the blue sun of September 1950
mentioned also the strange optical effects
produced by the eruption of the volcanic
Island of Krakatoa a century ago.
The important point
is the particles
in the atmosphere
must all be very close
to the same size,
and that size must be about
a micrometer across,
a combination of circumstances
that occurs literally
once in a
"BLUE MOON".

BLUE MOON
BLUE MOON & JUPITER:
According to folklore:
Yesterday's full Moon over North America
was a " Blue Moon "
because it was the second full Moon
in a calendar month.
If you were lucky enough to view the
"Blue Moon",
you also saw its companion
"Jupiter".
All night long,
the giant planet snuggled
next to the Moon.
The bright pair could be seen
with the naked eye.
The moons of Jupiter,
lunar mountains,
craters, and the Great Red Spot
were surprisingly
very easy to see.
A REAL BLUE MOON!
Blue Moons are supposed to be absurd,
but on May 21st,
the Moon over Hungary
really did turn blue.
Onlookers describe it as a
"unique and unforgettable"
experience.
The display was caused by
a Sahara dust storm
that filled the air above Hungary
with dust particles about 1 micron
(one millionth of a meter)
in diameter.
Clouds of micron-sized dust can act
as a color filter,
turning the Moon
truly blue.

Divine appointment !
Not an interruption but there by divine appointment
Jesus wants us to see that neighbor next door
or the people sitting next to us on a plane
or in a classroom are not interruptions to our schedule.
They are there by divine appointment.
Jesus wants you to see their needs, their loneliness,
their longings, and he wants to give us
the courage to reach out to them.
Appointed to eternal life
[The Lord said,]
"I have made you a light to the Gentiles,
to bring salvation to the furthest corners of the earth.
" When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were appointed to eternal life became believers.
Acts 13:47-48 NLT
Let us be reminded
that there are people around us whom God is pursuing.
It may be the teenager down the street, a lonely coworker,
a weary single parent, or even someone standing next to you
in line at the bank.
The world is full of men and women
who have been crying out to God
in the quiet desperation of their hearts
or in the darkness of a long night.
God has been working in their lives
and stirring a desire for him.
He wants to use us to be a light to them
and bring them the good news of hope in Jesus Christ.
Ask that his Spirit would show you
those in your neighborhood
or workplace who need to be
the recipients of your prayers.
He will help you to build relationships
with them and be a vessel
through whom God can share his love.
LORD, show me those in my neighborhood,
my circle of friends, and my family that you want me
to pray for and build relationships with.
They may be the very people he has appointed to eternal life.
Equip me to be a light to those who don't know you
and to love them for Christ's sake.

Iraq
The only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq
They would like to have this message passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.
The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I
was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi
1stSgt Dave Jobe
Yes. It is like that!
Count your blessings, pray for them,
Talk to your Creator
and
the next time when...
the other car cuts you off and you must hit the brakes,
or you have to park a little further from Walmart than you want to be,
or you're served slightly warm food at the restaurant,
or you're sitting and cursing the traffic in front of you,
or the shower runs out of hot water,
Think of them...
Protecting your freedom!

WAKE UP
I got an email today from Larry Schweiger,
Larry is the President & CEO of the
National Wildlife Federation
This is a powerful WAKE UP call.
It’s haunting to visualize polar bears
literally DROWNING from global warming,
unable to swim the increasingly longer distances
between sea ice and land.
So unbelievably SAD !!
WE have a DUTY to help
protect polar bears NOW
and other wildlife across the country
by confronting global warming
once and for all.
Polar bears are on a fast path to extinction.
Their ice habitat, once the size of the
continental United States
is FAST shrinking ...…over 23,000 square miles
per year!
And, because they must swim farther and farther
between land and sea ice to find food,
they are drowning and their cubs are starving.
Unfortunately, the fate of the Arctic
is not just the fate of the polar bears;
it is the fate of our children’s world
unless we confront global warming today.
But, there is HOPE !!
Just recently--and for the first time ever--the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recognized the impact
of global warming on polar bears
by recommending that they be
added to the Endangered Species List.
This is a clear and unmistakable WARNING
that our changing climate is affecting
America’s wildlife now.
YOU and I must educate each and every member of Congress
about the urgent importance of voting “Yes!” on the
Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act!
We must expand and accelerate our efforts to EDUCATE the media,
the PUBLIC and LAWMAKERS at every level of government
about the impact of global warming.
WE MUST create opportunities for the public
and private sectors to JOIN FORCES
in advancing creative ideas that will get
cleaner technologies
off the shelf and into factories,
cars and households !!

After a week,
of being pricked and probed in the Hospital
My father signed himself out
stating he was tired and was going home
adding he did not have cancer!
CONFUSION....DENIAL!!
So now he sits at home ...
as death quickly surrounds him...
stealing him away
from his wife of 55 years....
his mind flickering
as if a light slowly dimming out
If only he would of know...
Before taking that fatal nap
He would of kissed her good-bye
Oh yes indeed,
He would of professed his deep undieing LOVE!
He would of given her
a dozen beautiful fresh roses, just one more time...
He would of held her tight
and expressed his deep sorrow for this rude
and untimely departure...
He would of penned her one last Love letter
expressing his graditude for her loyal devotion
and faithful companionship...
He would of gazed into her eyes
wrapped his arms around her
and kissed her with deep passion
just one last time...
She sits by his side a dazed look on her face
trying hard to understand
what has happened these past few weeks...
He is dieing and she cannot grasp the reality of it
or even try to explain this to him
his mind could not comprehend
or even believe her words...
So she sits there watching him suffer
and slowly slip away
any day he will be gone forever...
Soon,
He will take his last step
Soon,
He will see the sun,moon & stars
for the last time
Soon,
He will say his last word
Soon,
He will give his last kiss
Soon,
He will eat his last meal
Soon,
He will see his family
for the last time
Soon,
He will close his eyes
and take his last breath
Yes soon,
My Mothers Heart shall break
Perhaps one morning she will wake up
and find he has silently slipped away with the angels...
Leaving behind an empty shell
that once contained her soul mates
inner soul...
Very soon she shall be alone
a life long friendship
will come to an abrupt end.....
an old wrinkled, frail and gentle lady
will loose her life long partner
how will she ever survive
in this harsh cold world
her Alfa male will be no more...
Soon,
she will sit and stare at the empty chair
that once held her protecter, her leader, her man
Soon,
she will sit alone in a huge empty house
she once called home
Soon,
she will know the pain of deathly silence
Soon,
she will crawl alone into a huge
cold empty bed
Yes, only to soon,
her world shall be abruptly stolen from her
In a flash of a moment
the reality she has known for half a century
will cease to exist...forever
She will soon sit by his empty chair
in a big empty house
in a huge empty world
in an enormous empty universe
(or so it will all seem)
... A dazed look on her face...
This once regal and youthful beauty
will search and ponder her memories
as she holds a picture frame
with her fine aged wrinkled hands
that she will not reconize as her own...
Their long life togeather
flashing before her eyes
she shall wonder
if it was not all but a dream...
How can half a century pass so fast?
she will ask, and how will I go on alone?
Forever she shall remain
glancing across the room
expecting him
to walk in at any given moment
Until the day she realizes
he is never coming back home
ever again...
She will then know
he has crossed over
and in true form, he remains his true self
preparing the way
for his eternal bride
into the spiritual world
as he always did
in the mortal world
The Alpha male never leaves, He just moves forward
and secures his mates future passage to eternity

"Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted."
When Jesus' friend, Lazarus, died, Jesus wept.
Until I know how to weep with all my heart, I will never know how to love with all my heart either.
Tim Dayton wrote,
"If my unconscious carries a silent wound,
I will always be black and blue inside.
I will not be able to approach situations
with open eyes for fear they will trigger that un felt pain.
The grief that I carry hidden in silence
has great power over my life and my relationships....
Until I understand my grief and allow myself to know it, I will not be free of its grip."

Tears are God's gift to help drain the pain of deep grief and sorrow.
"Suggested prayer:
"Dear God, help me to be connected to and honest
with all my emotions and learn to express them in healthy,
constructive ways.
And help me to learn to grieve and mourn my losses
and not be afraid to cry when I am truly sad.
Thank you for the gift of tears as well as the gift of laughter.
Help me to realize that both are equally important and healthy.
Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.
Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."
(Matthew 5:4).
"Dear God, help me to be connected to and honest
with all my emotions and learn to express them in healthy,
constructive ways.
And help me to learn to grieve and mourn my losses
and not be afraid to cry when I am truly sad.
Thank you for the gift of tears as well as the gift of laughter.
Help me to realize that both are equally important and healthy.
Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.
Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."
(Matthew 5:4).
