I am proud of President Obama for insisting that we put more restrictions on coal plants. We all need to think more about our changing climate. He started us on the movement towards fixing the problem the best way he could. Ideally, the extra cost would cut into the profits of CEO’s, board members, and those with energy stock, but we all know it won’t. We know the cost will be passed down to the consumer because we so willingly accept it. Look how we accept that oil companies make hundreds of billions in profits. Oh, well. Such is life. Yet, we shouldn’t get too upset. If we need to pay a little more to protect our own children from future disaster it will be worth it. Who wants their child or grandchild living in a boiling hot or flooded world? Who wants the oceans to get so acid that we can no longer fish. Who wants the weather to change drastically from wet to dry to flood to storm. Who wants tomorrow’s children hating us because of what we did to the earth? We all love this blue-green planet as we love our progeny. So lets not complain too strongly. What the president did was necessary and right. Some democrats may need to put on a face of displeasure, how else to get elected, but we can shrug it off as goofy politics and big talk. We all know in our hearts what is right and what must be done.

I have been under stress lately so when I met with Jesus
and the others, I mentioned how I felt.
They understood completely because they themselves have felt the same
stings in their lives, so they held my hand in support and walked, climbed,
flew with me to the highest peak of the mountain. I looked around at the
majestic, silent beauty and couldn’t imagine that we mere humans could put a
dent in it, but we can and have already littered the slopes of mountains with
our debris. Well, enough. The thought went with my state of mind lately.
As we stood there, in the serene quiet, joined together, I felt surrounded by love amid a white field so vast it seemed as if the whole world was white beneath a purple blue sky. The wind was fierce but couldn’t penetrate our spirit bodies as we called on God for love energy.
Soon, I felt my body warm and fill with a soft, gentle love
until I was healed and knew I could go back down the mountain to share this
abounding love with others. Each of us dispersed to do just that. I came back
to
Next I went to a man who was in his late 20’s. He had just lost a job. This is very dangerous and hurtful for a man of this age because it is easy to get discouraged and slip into drink or drugs. It can see it drive a young black man into homelessness because there are so few jobs out there. Family can help hold people up but I suspected that this young man didn’t have much family around. I sent him a bundle of love energy from God and whispered over and over that he should not give up. I knew he was worried about how to pay his rent and utilities and how to buy food? What can a person do who has lost their job? All these things were running in his mind and there was nothing I could do to change his circumstances. What I could do was surround him with God’s light-energy which gives hope because it is life itself. I hugged him and whispered for him to be careful and keep pushing and looking for work. “You can do it,” I kept repeating. I think he can. I think he won’t give up until he finds a new job.
I felt worn out myself by this time and left my meditation.
I thanked Jesus for his help and believed he would instruct his angels to help
the people I had contact with this morning. Jesus knows what is in our hearts
and if we care for a person, he will have his angels do what they can to help
that person in some way. How wonderful to have Jesus on our side,
and those of us who go to church know this and live by its truth each day.
This is what they cabbage-like
leaves looked like. They changed from green to purple under the clouds.
May to
June 2014
I sat in my swing this early evening
and Jesus suggested we travel to another planet. I agreed and we called the
others who like to travel with us. We don’t use the sky-tunnel when we travel
with Jesus so what I first noticed when I opened my eyes again was that I was
standing on some very tough vegetable stuff. It was huge greenish gray leaves
that looked like cabbage but was not only growing in heads but also curling and
twisting in rows that seemed packed tight.
The leaves had a rubbery texture and seemed to cover the ground for as
far as we could see.
We moved forward quickly and came to high trees that seemed short and squat at first because they were very big around with leathery leaves, huge but looking more like a head of purple cabbage than the vegetation that covered the ground. The short, stout tree I looked closely at had purple curling leaves half as large as my body clustered together on short branches.
“Why is everything so tough and leathery?’ I asked Jesus.
“You will see in a minute.” he said and added, “Although the vegetation and leaves look tough, it is very nourishing for the people.”
I was thrilled that we might see new people too.
Then a storm came up very suddenly, the blue sky blackened
then turned gray and we were suddenly standing in a pouring rain of sharp ice
crystals. They stabbed at the ground like arrows shot from clouds. I noticed
that the green vegetation changed from green to gray to purple beneath the
heavy cloud cover.
Jesus led us up above the planet so we could view the storm. I saw a huge swath of angry clouds covering a big portion of the land. The storm left a white trail behind it, but on either side, was sunshine and green earth.
Jesus told us to walk with him so we did until we came to a slight change in the ground cover. We had been walking over the huge cabbage leaves but they changed to a smaller, wiggly bright green with puffs of yellow mushroom bushes mixed in.
“When will we see the people?’
“Stop here. Wait” Jesus said.
We stopped close to one of the bubbly, yellow shape as high as my waist. There were more scattered around us. Then the bubbly yellow bush began to vibrate, change and grow tall. To my surprise, it stretched taller than me and grew into a human form, a thin female with prominent bones running down her back. Her skin was bubbly and yellow but seemed to smooth out as she sprinted from one cabbage plant to the next, running in long strides like a gazelle.
Of course we followed her back to her village. There we
noticed more trees but also small concave mounds open on one side laying the
earth. The female went into one and so did we. I saw that the covering for the
mound would close at a moments notice. It was large and deeply dug into the earth
in a series of layers where other people, some with bubbly skin and some not,
were active. Most of the people looked yellowish green.
Then Jesus took us to another mound that was amazing for its built in finish. The walls were covered in a wood like substance as were the floors. It was circular and had windows with shutters all around and seats in its center set in circles. It was filled with earth like colors, deep reds, purples and greens with striking yellow patterns here and there.
Jesus told us, “This is their temple. Their place of worship.”
It was strikingly beautiful as if a lot of work had went into its construction.
We went to another underground cavern where many people were various shades of yellow to green, were dipping those tough cabbage leaves into a huge vat and then hanging them up to dry.
“They build many items from those leaves by carving and
stacking them like you would work on wood.”
Jesus explained further that the vegetation on the planet utilizes photosynthesis just as plants do on earth and that the texture is pliable but can be hardened. He said the plants also have flowers, but tough and we might not recognize them as flowers.
“But how can they look like a bush in one place and like a person another?”
“The are able to camouflage themselves to resemble items in their surroundings. It is an instinct that they must teach their children to be careful to not overuse because it uses up the bodies’ nourishment quickly. They depend greatly on the fields of vitamin filled leaves you first saw.
“This has been wonderful visit but I am getting tired.” I said to Jesus and the others. “I’d like to come back one day. Maybe I can draw some of this for the web.”
Jesus smiled at this. It was Jesus who told me I would need those colored pencils when I was in the art store. I did buy them and so now will use them.
Before we left I asked Jesus something else. I saw the girl, somehow I knew she was a girl, carrying a weapon. Do
they hunt?”
Jesus told us that they have dangerous animals on the
planet, something like our dinosaurs, though not as large.
It made sense. I wondered if the girls
skin would be tough too, but forgot to ask.
This sketch didn’t turn out great.
Maybe I’ll try ink next time.
Note: I didn’t notice hair on the girl, but this may have been because I had so much to see. Also I didn’t take note of her hands, although Jesus assures me that five digits are common on rocky planets and likewise the human shape. I don’t think the girl was shaped as a yellow bush so much as curled up like one with only her skin in yellow bubbles. What I noticed most was her bony spine and how it changed color from yellow to green as she ran. Jesus also tells me that DNA is the same for all life in the universe, almost as if we all came from the same seed. Ha, I can’t help thinking how God planned it all into a perfect fit.

I have been trying to avoid conflict
on the news. At some point, I decided I didn’t want to know any more so decided
to bury my mind in the sand. Silly of me, besides it didn’t work. War and
conflict around the world is a reality and can’t be avoided. Besides, as I tell
myself, it probably isn’t as bad as it looks. Most people do well in areas
slightly away from the severe conflict. News programs, just by the act of
reporting the events, seem to exaggerate what is happening. I look at my own
city for a good example. To listen to the news,
So, this morning, I intend to step
into the fray with God energy and send invisible light around the world while
concentrating on the hot spots in the Middle East and
Having seen worlds that were completely
filled with God presence, I learned firsthand how valuable spiritual wealth is
and how dire is our human lack of spirit seems to be, else we would be talking
out our differences instead of fighting. But we continue to grow towards a
future of maturity and calling on God is the best way forward.
Oddly enough, when I suggested we go
to a place of high conflict, we were puzzled as to which area was in most need
of God’s vital presence. So we settled for a field of poppies that may ort may
not have been far from conflict, although the area sure seemed peaceful, beds
of red flowers surrounded by white mountains beneath a
quiet blue sky. Here we called to God to send light energy to the most
conflicted places on the planet. For a moment, I remembered reading about 100
years war between
A peaceful, pleasant image
June 15-note about last world Jesus and I visited
Jesus tells me that my drawing
doesn’t reflect what the people’s skin really looks like. Its surface is pebbly
most of the time and very elastic. This helps them change shape and color as
they use camouflage in different environments. If anyone has read about our
travel that day, I know it is hard to believe, but Jesus also tells me that
when we finally learn to see a new planet in detail, this will be the first
world we view. I don’t expect it will be soon unless we come up with a
surprising new invention. I think most of the worlds we have found so far
haven’t been seen so much as implied by the evidence. Well, maybe in ten or a
hundred years?

A number of homeless people come to our church every Sunday. The weather is nice and warm now so perhaps their lives are a little easier, still when I think about what a person’s life must be like who doesn’t have a home I can’t help but to shudder in sadness. Imagine not being able to sit in an easy chair in front of a TV, or walk into your kitchen for a drink of water, or open a refrigerator for a snack. Imagine not knowing where you can lay down at night or take a nap if needed. How sickly and tiring it must be to always need to look for a place to be. And maybe worse may be having too many hours of time with nothing to fill it with but your own thoughts. What can a person do with no place to go and no place welcoming?
Yet, the people I have met smile and
greet others as if their lives were normal, which can’t be true. All I can do
for these people is give them a smile and a prayer. I
pray that their lives become more tolerable. Maybe some of them have only
themselves to blame, and maybe not. The real cause might be a society that
seldom gives second chances or makes jobs rare and too difficult to get.
Whatever, every Sunday they sit in the back of the church to pray while they
wait to get a ticket for a breakfast of fried chicken and eggs. And I thank God
that I have a home and yard and car and food. I have been through many
hardships myself and now ask, “How did I become so fortunate?” I owe Jesus a
world of thanks.
