Premium Member The Session

I was not sitting at a table in a police interrogation room. *
Nor was I seated in front of a judge in a courtroom.
It most resembled a hall of inquisition to eradicate
every trace of Biblical Christianity from the face of
the earth. Through the ages, there have been multiple
tactics and tools utilized to accomplish such a task.

Herein is simply the encounter that I personally experienced.
There I sat, surprisingly fearless I might add, eager to give
witness to 'the what and who of me' to a couple of inquisitors
assigned to ascertain my answers to their questions.

The Session:

He inquired about the reasons I believed it,
and I told him.
He asked me what I believed,
and I told him.
She asked how long I had believed it,
and I told her.
She asked when it was that I first believed it,
and I told her.
He asked where I was when I first believed it,
and I told him.
She questioned why I continued to believe it,
and I told her.

The session, being finished to their satisfaction, they said,
"You may go now". I was relieved that the session was over.
But in a flash, a strong sense of uneasiness swept over me,
whereupon I quickly requested their further attention. There
was something deep inside of me that I needed to say. With
questioning stares upon their faces, in unison they replied,
"You may proceed".

I said, "Sir, Mam. You inquired of the what of me but never
the who of me". Again, with a questioning stare, they looked
at me and then at each other. They then said in unison, "The who?"
"Sir, Mam", I said. The what, the how, the where, the when, and
the why. All of these answers to your questions are like vapors
in the wind if I never gave to you and the world, the who of me.
If the name of my who was never mentioned, this entire session
would surely be in vain". With high-pitched voices, in unison
they shouted, "By all means, do tell"!

Like the slow formation of clouds, tears began to form in my eyes
as I so humbly replied, "He was born of a virgin, put to death by
crucifixion, resurrected on the third day, and ascended into
heaven 40 days later. He is The Christ; I call Him Lord; He is
the who of me, and His name is Jesus". My two inquisitors were
speechless and in unison, pointed me to the door.

The Everchanging Experiment of Existence

 as the fresh morning utilized the Moons net
one last time before she turned in
while her other face puts on make-up
eagerly she waits to kiss...

Sunsprinkled showers of light
that frolic across the
ESH
R O
H L
T D

greeting me with interlocked
Rays of Righteousness

confirming my selfless request
IT WAS ANSWERED

meaning
a release of agony
will be
confiscated
by the soft breath
of the
Cosmos Canticle Clouds
wearing perma-smiles
since the moment
Creation
began...

they were given the responsibility of tickling dreams
subconsciously sleeping

as prosophobia promised physical penumbras
a chance to meet a mystical madrigal
that merged with a marvelous Merkaba
that was spinning...

On The Sultan Sea watching solarbears
swimming with spirituality...

they were there that day...
LEARNING...

to heal hearts
by offering a sip
from
The Fountain Of Youth...

letting go of this worlds reins
as this world prepares to let go of us

So sad really...
yet, in a beautiful way...

like bidding farewell to family...
AND WE'RE ALL FAMILY...

this too shall pass...
into portal pools of the past...
solidifying our memories that become...
shared stories through the communities stereo...

skipping like a silly star across the galaxy
SHINING...
supremely sharing their spirals...
through supersonic sound...

ECHOING...EChoinG...EChoIng....echoing...
through the Universe in unison
ushering energies to take a seat on leather stars...

THANKING US...
for our pin-cushioned patience...
PLEADING...
US...

to play the pastel piano
known to spray kinetic knots
knitted atop the night
by a kind knight...

as the notes could be seen leaving the first clouds property
taking in the changes of the song....
that became beautiful bolts
of bronze blessings...

blanketing the Earth
in brimstone pinecones...
that disintegrated into driftwood gatherings
Gathered by the Elect and The Elite, and their earsoothing
acapella epitaph...
causing rest...

might as well rest up for the next rendezvous...
my apologies I'm unable to stay...
for some reason its always been like this
and I wouldn't want it any other way...

I just Pray when I return I'm able to remember
MY ORIGINAL
NAME...

Rest In Peace

P.S.
see you in the trees

Premium Member Becoming Historical

This week I have been in much thought about my wife and our marriage of 39 years*. I have noted and deeply considered the power and impact of 'history' in both the maintenance and long endurance in a marital relationship. The future is projected to be one of hope and vision, one of anticipation and eager planning. Although nothing beyond the 'now' is guaranteed in the 'tears' ahead, in sweet peace and harmony is where one would like to be in the 'years' ahead.

I heard a story of two gentlemen engaged in a conversation about their wives. One said, "When my wife gets upset with me, she always gets 'historical' ".  In an attempt to correct his friend, the other gentleman said, "I think that you meant to say that she gets hysterical". The reply was, "No, I mean 'Historical'. She's always bringing up the past".  With that in mind, I want to make it clear that I am talking about history and not hysterics.                                      

Part of the beauty of mariage is the planning and dreams that we make for ourselves and prayerfully seek their reality. We also seek to leave some kind of legacy for our children. Notwithstanding, there is that which is behind us that can thrust us forward. Experiences and memories, both pleasant and otherwise can be harnessed and utilized to rocket us into future joys and successes.  It is often the triumps and sometimes the failures in our past that inspire us to future success. What we draw from such experiences gives us confidence for future growth and developement.  Yes, we have today. Yes, we had yesterday.  Yes, we have this moment;  Yes, by grace and faith, we have tomorrow. But indeed, we can look each other in the eyes and say, "We HAVE yesterday; we HAVE a history".

One of the anticipated desires that my wife and I began to treasure as the years flowed by was to 'grow old together'.  Many are the obsticles that can hinder and prevent a marriage from achieving such a reality.  Nevertheless, it is a real joy and an awareness of God's magnanemous grace when we reach the senior years and begin our 'growing old' together.

The Most Excellent Pipes For House Plumbing

Want effective and long-lasting house plumbing? Here are few examples of the most excellent pipes for house plumbings that will last forever.

The most reliable pipes for house plumbing are ones that will persist for a long time, as well as efficiently do the job.

ABS pipes are the most reliable drainage pipes but PVC is most suitable for underground settings in commercial and industrial constructions. PVC is more heavily used in the United States, where ABS is less popular. Both work well, it all comes down to the codes and allowances of your particular region.

Water

Copper and PEX are the most suitable for the use for water services, with PEX being the most affordable by a landslide. PEX is very simple to work with and cut, as well as attach fittings too. This cuts down the price of material as well as labor time for a plumber.

Copper is more costly, and type M Copper is not permitted in all circumstances as it has thinner walls, but it can be utilized for various domestic applications. Type L copper is more easily employed for commercial and industrial settings as it has thicker walls and will last much longer.

Copper seems fabulous but needs a bit more time to operate with. The positive side of copper though is that it is a more rigorous material and is less likely to get pierced(although possible). Copper needs soldering (melting metal with a low melting point around the pipe and fitting) as well as sanding the element to guarantee it is clear of dirt and grime that necessarily builds upon the outer wall of the pipe and then implementing flux to make it more manageable for a flame to get attracted to the interior of the fitting for that watertight seal.

Cast Iron for drainage

Besides ABS and PVC for drainage pipe, you can also have cast iron pipe for your drains. These are also a more costly option for drainage (like copper is to PEX) and takes more time to work with.


This pipe also demands a bit more care to be hung from the roof as earlier discussed, it’s heavier.

When it comes to plumbing, your code is power. Whatever choice you make, be certain the  hydraulic hose fittings  are to code as a lot of stuff may be immediately sold, but may not be to regulations. This could lead to crashes in plumbing and accidents.

Premium Member New Year's Resolution, 2017 Light Humor

New Year's Resolution, 2017 (Light Humor)

For the longest time, it has been stated that we use only 10 percent of our brain.
Of course, the hold idea of brain usage is in dispute for a myriad of reasons.

So let us assume that it is not true that we use only 10 percent of our brain.
Let us also conclude with the idea that we utilize far less than is available to us.

Let us suppose that we use 30 percent and declare ourselves smarter than we think we are. With that in mind, I am throwing caution to the wind and saying, 

“Look out world for my brain because in 2017, my resolution is to start running on all cylinders”. I hereby resolve to use the remaining 70 percent of my brain.

30 percent simply is not enough to make the necessary changes.
I hereby apologize for the portion of my brain that has been idle for years.

Just to think about so great a neglect is enough to bring me to tears.
Just imagine how such an achievement helps to free us of so much pain.

Who knows?  Maybe I will be able to inspire a million others to do the same.
Just imagine all of the untapped potential just waiting and sitting there.

Just think for a minute and try wrapping your brain around that if you dare.    
Perhaps we will learn how to build a beautiful new city at the bottom of the sea.

I can visualize a jumbo jet flight from the Eastern seaboard in New York City, sucking in enough solar energy to fly all the way to the City of San Francisco.

I tell you, with a fully utilized brain we could at very low cost make fresh drinking water from the salty sea.   Unlike The Straw Man from The Wizard Oz, 

I have a brain.  Therefore, I  shall resolve to use the other 70% of my brain.  And who knows?  Perhaps we can keep singing , “My Country, Tis of Thee”.

It is going to take more than brain power to save America and the world.
But fully using our God-given brains?  How can it hurt?
12212016  PS Contest, New Years Resolution, Kim Rodrigues
(FYI:( There is no scientific evidence that we use only 10% of our brain. On the contrary, an article in Scientific America concludes by saying, Ultimately, it’s not that we use 10% of our brains, merely that we only understand about 10% of how it functions.)

Meditating Connective Quite Healing

You will discover a fit condition of meditation, still, intuition based or simply moving relaxation techniques, by way of example tai-chi. Visualizations are utilized to concentrate a meditation toward a selected goal also to help one obtain a condition of meditation. Music could be used to attain a disease of relaxation.

A Etherical Crystal Therapy that first needs to be learned and appreciated through reading through and visualization, provides for us a good foundation to meditate, without music or maybe a voice guiding us. Recalling all that's required to meditate is yourself. It's your own special private place for which you speak to you.

An itemized meditation enables us ultimate freedom of expression, goal and visualization, we personally need to achieve. Adding your individual ideas towards the meditation whilst you learn it, is definitely a positive thing, I actually do encourage it.

This meditation is created to tune in to the healing energy of deposits.

very healing

Lay lower, arms with you, legs a suitable, shoulder width apart. Relaxation your vision, inhale deeply, along with the nose, exhale in the mouth. Do this three occasions.

Use a personal very or jewel stone ready, one that you are feeling benefits you. Position the very within your photo voltaic plexus chakra ( wherein the ribcage meets, in-between breasts ).

Counting your breathing now, whenever you inhale making use of your nose, count. If you exhale obvious your head during the day you just had along with the day before you. Do that to the count of 11. (Example inhale, one, exhale obvious the human brain. Inhale, two, exhale obvious your mind, or anything else).

Resting deeply now, bring your focus towards the very sitting on the human body. Visualize your Sensory Healing (aura) along with the deposits melding together, interacting with one other with the etheric level.

Through this connection the very gains understanding in the simplest way to heal and assist you. A warmth is felt on our systems in which the very lies, if the connection has been given. Recalling a feeling of warmth is love and coldness is fear.

Premium Member The Interview

THE INTERVIEWER:
Thank you for the privilege of this interview.
There are hundreds of others you could have chosen.
I am deeply moved and inspired by how you have come
to terms with your demise. We all must someday face
our death, but far too few of us learn to do it well.
Of your many years, what do you feel that you have
contributed most to society and especially your community?

The INTERVIEWEE:
Before answering, I must say that it is my hope that when
I have deceased, I won't be allowed to remain standing as
a lifeless statue. May I be cut down and utilized as wood
for warmth or lumber for buildings.

I trust that I have contributed to an atmosphere of trust;
The freedom that any person of any stripe can come and
sit right up to my trunk, benefiting from my shade and
the purity of air and say anything they which, never
having to worry if it will ever be repeated again.

The INTERVIEWER:
Many of us give much thought to longevity with little
concern about legacy. You have enjoyed a long life
and have produced much fruit so vital in the nuts industry.
Over the years, you have grown the most tasteful and nutritious
pecans. Initially, you referenced being made useful after your
demise. What do you have further to say about yourself
relative to legacy?

The INTERVIEWEE:
As a tree, I have been aware of every leaf that fell and 
blew across the landscape; of every limb broken from me
for any purpose by any person or by the wind; of every
seed that fell to the ground. Being thus aware, I think
that I treasure most the seeds that fell, knowing that
They represent not the end of me but a new beginning.
That is why I pray that each seed that falls will somehow
find its way and beat a path to the right soil and depth that
will give them a fighting chance at life. Both they and I know
that they are fighting for me and my legacy. That is the primary
reason my friend that I am able to die well and peacefully.

THE INTERVIEWER:
Thank you, sir. Our readers will be pleased to hear what
you had to say.
