On the 19th (for the 16th) Jan 2019

We'll Sophie Ellen's “28” just now,

that's “years upon this Earth” since she was born.

And what a time it's been(!) - her laugh somehow

has brought a human touch when life's forlorn.

This week she was just 27, till

the 16th day came in this month wherein

she turned four weeks of ye’rs. Now always will

be 't least one month of years that she's been

around and learning to be more than “looks”;

to be a re-al woman here with us.

And though sometimes she's 's loud as all the chooks

she often welcomes each “fresh day” with fuss

& celebration, like a rooster's crow;

she'll still admit her problems, and those round;

and get upset when all the things you know

don't match how things appear on the ground.

She still rings up to talk & help her think

again what's true about what's here below.

I think the bigger picture helps her “blink”

and take another view of “what's the go?”

And that in turn allows her to do that

for others, like the rest of us around,

and kindness and compassion “come to bat”,

and many folk here say that they “abound”.

She loves to help, and help folk reconcile,

and brings a sense of humour here as well.

Her father in the heavens, all the while,

is who she's made her “help”; and we can tell!

How can it be that GOD is OUR helper?: https://appallinglife.blogspot.com/2011/11/blog-post.html

The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’  Gen. 2:18 NIVUK

Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.  Psalm 54:4 NIVUK

When the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands?  Judges 10:12 NIVUK

‘Yet you have not called on me, Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, Israel.  Isaiah 43:22 NIVUK

People staggered from town to town for water but did not get enough to drink, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord .  Amos 4:8 NIVUK

The Lord said, “I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, ‘Here I am; I will help you.’  Isaiah 65:1 GNT

The Lord says, “Listen to me, you that want to be saved, you that come to me for help. Think of the rock from which you came, the quarry from which you were cut. ...  Wake up, Lord , and help us! Use your power and save us; use it as you did in ancient times. It was you that cut the sea monster Rahab to pieces. … The Lord says, “I am the one who strengthens you. Why should you fear mortals, who are no more enduring than grass?  … Have you forgotten the Lord who made you, who stretched out the heavens and laid the earth's foundations? Why should you live in constant fear of the fury of those who oppress you, of those who are ready to destroy you? Their fury can no longer touch you. Isaiah 51:1‭, ‬9‭-‬9‭, ‬12‭-‬13 GNT

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?  The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I look in triumph on my enemies. Psalm 118:6‭-‬7 NIVUK

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’  So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’ Hebrews 13:5‭-‬6 NIVUK

Thanks. Us two, too. God help us use this time

our response to unfailing love...

Forget the past and look forward to what is ahead. Philippians 3:13 (PM Version)

"Give thanks to The Lord Almighty, for The Lord is good and His faithful love endures forever" Jeremiah 33:11b (PM Version)

Forget the past 
and look forward 
to what will last
and keep coming..

so technically
from what we know,
can hear, and see,
without dumbing

everything down
to bite-sized bits,
you must not frown
to follow it...

Since this world's "change"
is a decay,
it may seem strange
for me to say:

To find what lasts
and grows more good
will take us past
this world of "should",

to Christ's own rule
that's now ahead,
that's when God's tool,
Earth's kingdom-ing,

is taken up
in God' own "Head"
all's shaken up,
finally humming!

... ,,, ... ,,, ...

But even now
God's Life is here.
Spirit somehow
in Him appeared,

and real good has
been created.
When our eyes, as
God's did, see it,

it's likely that
as Jesus did,
we'll give God thanks,
we'll flip our lid,

yes praise him too,
Lord Almighty,
his love endures
and he is free

to do as he
would like to do.
The Almighty
is good all through!

His faithful Love,
unfailingly,
came "weak as dove"
of peace you see.

But God has now
raised him up high!
To him we bow,
no more he'll die!

Amen!

Mark's account - up on a mount!

Text->PW: I'm enjoying some of Mark's account.

---

Well, "I'm enjoying some of Mark's account*",
he says to me, with twinkle in his eyes.
I wonder what he likes? Is it the MOUNT
that Jesus went up to before those guys

were called by him to make the newest twelve;
beginning of the "offspring" of the brand
new Isra'el whose sons would good, and well,

vol-um-in-ous-ly fill, and rule, as planned

by God's own Word, at first back down the track,

but not as kings of this world do today,

as he would MOUNT his cross upon his back,

ascending any lonely MOUNT to pray.

Might be the MOUNT where he took his close three

to be alone with him, but then they met

with two who'd met the Most High already,

and subsequently led folk further yet.

Might be the MOUNT that he had ridden on

into Jeru-salem before he's dead.

The kind of transport then "unhidden from"

a tradesman's pregnant woman - so it's said.

Might be the MOUNT of Olives where he prayed

in garden - NOT to have what he desired

(like garden on a mountain in the shade

of tree where other "son of God" had sired

a “way of life” that led to sin and death);

instead he'd MOUNT a cross - for life and peace,

by loving not his life on Earth, each breath

he gave to save us from a “life” deceased.

*  Mark's account of the Gospel (euangelion) about Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God.

But we are tempted when we are drawn away and trapped by our own unbridled desires. Then our unbridled desires conceive and give birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.  James 1:14‭-‬15 GNTD

We'd ding bells for this day...

Well Steve and Faith, you're starting up today

a full-on Two-man, that is to be born

when you two lose yourselves and give away

your own dreams, and learn not to be forlorn,

but start to see your bodies as a part

of this new being that gives rise to new

new human beings, which are works of art,

creative works of God, and both of you!

God, please be doing your good work in he,
& her as well, as well as wellness goes,
that they might be as well as well can be,
in embryonic womb-world where we grows.

I'm leaving you a gift -

Yeshua said "I'm leaving you a gift."

I wonder what he thought would be of help?
He said the Father's gift to us would lift
us from despondency, as his own whelp.

The spirit of his holiness, God gave.
Until that, we were losers - proven well.
But his love for his children means he'll save
them (at whatever cost to him) from hell

and death (which are usurpers at this time).
Yeshua gifted something to us too -
the kind of peace that's thriving and sublime:
SHALOM* which heals and multiplies the few.

So the anointed one (which is the Christ
- Messiah, if you have it from Hebrew)
anointed with God's Spirit, sacrificed
his life on earth this time, bringing the new..

which had been prophesied in ages past,
and visions of the prophets woke up dreams
and hopes for what could come, but then at last
this man came and fulfilled them all it seems.

He healed, and fed, and paid, to not offend
the smallest glimmer of goodness and hope,
he trusted God to vindicate, and send
a life-line down from heaven - God's own rope

or ladder, path, or stairway, up & down...
as Jacob saw that night he dreamed that dream.
A portal to God's heaven all around,
to lift us up, to sit with him, a team!

Would any of you who are fathers give your son a snake when he asks for fish? Or would you give him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”  Luke 11:11‭-‬13 GNTD

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever. He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and is in you.  “When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and because I live, you also will live. When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you. John 14:16‭-‬20 GNTD

I am leaving you with a gift- the gift of peace!!This is not the peace the world has- but this is my perfect peace!!
Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts- instead be courageous!  John 14:27 (PM Version)

*  “Shalom”, the Hebrew word translated into Greek as “Eirene”, and into English as “Peace”, had a nuance not often associated with our English word Peace. Although it could be associated with a lack of war, it led the Hebrew person immediately into pictures of “under God's anointed King, having no oppression, owning their own land, thriving blessedness, their families, gardens, crops, herds all flourishing, and fitting with the overall ecosystem well!” - sort of what someone might mean in our popular culture, by the phrase “heaven on earth”.

What do we want? What do we need?

Had a lovely time 
at the factory anyway.
While I waited I 
got to craft a psalm & pray

(you, might want to pray it to?
- with me, now, & then, if you
want to, then by all means do.
If you don't want to, eshew!)
... ... ... ...

Help me Lord to honour you
in what I say, & think, and do,
that your bright life might shine out
be it whispered, or as shout...

The only thing I really will,
more than my own comforting
is that your love be growing still
in me, & what I say & sing,

and oh how good if also, too,
other folk are infected
more with your love/way-you-do
good things, like when resurrected,

Yeshua was given that new
body to match your life in him,
so he could lead us right into
your glorious New Creating!

Our biggest need appears to be
true, good, leadership right here
in this world, & this country,
please bring it on, may it appear!

Now I understand your plan to
help us where our need is most
keen, we want for your MAN to
lead us, by your Holy Ghost!

- Who we need to clean us out,
clean us up, & from above,
clean us inside - not to pout,
or react, but follow love!

Wedding day...

Today our son is moving into place
as leader of a "Two-man*" creature which
is to be born this day in private space

that's after wedding ceremony's “hitch”.

He's starting like a new-born once again,

and so there'll be much crying, learning too,

to come to know the hills and hollows, when

the lay-of-land's important, what to do.

So take your time, especially in fore-play,

in warming up your woman to unite,

and savour all the afterglow, and lay

about and spread that feeling of delight.

And keep on learning what could heat her up,

and what could keep her up there for more time,

before a quick volcano has erupt-

ed. I'm still learning. Don't give up, or whine

-  except to your own father up above,

then listen to ideas that he gives.

He made ’s to express well all his love,

and pleasure at good list-en-ing, to live.

And BE the little one you are with him;

and BE the leader, soldier, with your girl,

and flow as you learn to, when light is dim,

a work or art, a carta, … be no churl.

So, like that Sam-u-el, who under God,

appointed kings, by list'ning to the ONE;

and Lewis, Paul, went where Yeshua trod

(a true man). I am glad - you are my son!

---

* "Two-man" = an invisible mythical (though real) creature from which all humans after Adam and Eve have come, with the help of the Creator, whom humans, and two-mans, reflect.

The buck stops here... to start off fresh...

So Samuel Lewis Paul Truman Quin Heer,
a Walker if there's ever been such one,
is just about to lose his self, and pair
to build a brand new Walker fam'ly. Fun

& games are coming, also times that aren't -
when you don't “get” at all, the things you “should”;
both situations call for lifted heart
in thanks and recognition of what good

is there (against “the cynic”, “enemy”)
The things you come to know can't all be seen
with light of sun and eyes of head - you see?

There's other ways to see - know what I  mean?

‘Coz blessedly, there is the light of life
and eyes of heart (which keeps in mind truth's knife),
and since your woman's not your man, but wife,
you'll find that she'll help "differently" in strife.

And let her beauty, softness, gentle heart,
and receptivity be heaven's gifts
to you, just see that you play well your part,
the part that husbandry requires, and lift

sore feet up on the path, you're not your own.
Keep learning from your gardener to smell.
And lift your eyes and heart to heaven's throne,
his creativity and love does well!

But as with all this life, we're in a womb,
this round world with the spirit-wind we breathe.
The way of Christ has suffering, death, tomb,
before God lets us help him to re-weave.

But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.  … for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendour will not descend with them. ...  they will join those who have gone before them, who will never again see the light of life. People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49:15‭, ‬17‭-‬17‭, ‬19‭-‬20 NIVUK

For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.  Psalm 56:13 NIVUK

After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.  Isaiah 53:11 NIVUK

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  John 1:4 NIVUK

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’  John 8:12 NIVUK

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.  Revelation 22:5 NIVUK

The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.  Prov. 22:12 NIVUK

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,... Ephesians 1:18 NIVUK

“...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.  … Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. ‘Make level paths for your feet,’ so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Hebrews 12:1‭-‬3‭, ‬12‭-‬13 NIVUK

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.  Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!  Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand – when I awake, I am still with you. Psalm 139:13‭-‬18 NIVUK

You are welcome, de-ar brother.
Others did it for me too.
You will do it for another.
We're extending love's debt due!

As with Father & your Mother,
love is born in faithfulness.
Maybe faith's born in a lover.
God, fill us with gracefulness.

Amen.

responding to God's anointed Leader of Humanity

This Christ within 's the kind of being who

so floods you with a bright expectancy!
This mystery Messiah comes to groups;

becomes a treasure-chest that's full-filled free

with riches glor-i-ous for his people,

and God wants everyone to know this truth!
That’s Christ in us - the hope of glory - full.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, forsooth,

no mind imagined what he has prepared

for those who love (reflecting his in truth,
pursuing righteousness and love to share)

will find abundant life with honoured youth-

fullness within the body of his Son,

with each of us, unique, a vital part.
Oh Lord, direct me through my journey un-

til I experience your plans to start

a new creation, here within this life.

Reveal your paths that I might also please

you, as a husband is pleased with his wife

when she responds to his advance with ease.

So too, proactive with companionship,
she tries to build a friendship over time.
So that their union won't be something slipped
right out of when things don't feel that sublime.

And messy stuff in intimacy flows
around about, within, & between them.
And God's the one who's not ashamed and knows -
designed for more creative love to blend.
