Having a personal relationship with God your Creator and Sustainer has nothing to do with being a religious nut. Having that relationship with Him is what we are here for. Your life was spared for a special purpose
0ops! I forgot to comment on your description of your sweet wife. I can relate as l spend most of my day outside in my garden among all the little critters. Not to mention my 2 dogs are always with me. It is very special human souls who can converse & relate to other life forms! It is a precious gift! Not too many folks have that gift!
When l meet a person who doesn't like & enjoy critters l find l cannot really ever relate to them. You obviously have a very special lady!
I was terribly sad when you mentioned awhile back that you lost your young dog due to unknown causes. You have no suspicions of what caused the puppy's death?
I got back to Substack yesterday after many days away due to Hurricane lan passing closeby to my neck of the woods in FL. The storm was north of us but we still had rough weather for a couple of days.
As usual, l read you first but waited 24 hours to comment. I deeply appreciate your story & this particular post.
As l've commented on your articles in the past l've never made it a secret that l have a deep & abiding faith in our Creator & our Saviour Jesus Christ. But it wasn't always that way. It has been a lifetime of searching.
What is my point? I guess l am overwhelmed (in a good way) about the incredible mystery of the spiritual realm. Being a stubborn individual who has always wanted to have explanations for everything l finally found peace when l let go & just believed.
Is it irrational? Yes, but l have experienced so many big & little unexplainable "miracles" that l just KNOW there is a spiritual realm & l have come to accept that it will never be fully explained to any of us on this side of the curtain. And maybe not even on the other side.
So be it. What makes any of us think we are even "owed" an explanation? I am always amazed that so many human-beings plod along thru life & never ponder the mysteries of God or even recognize that they too will one day leave this material world.
I have read the biographies of many of the Catholic saints. There are quite a few of them who have had visions of Heaven & Hell. In these visions they describe seeing the souls of mankind as snowflakes falling into Hell by the thousands on a daily basis. They make the point that very few make the upward journey to reach Heaven. And there is the mystery of free will.
We all have the free will to reach out to our Creator but so many do not. Despite all the miracles in our daily lives.
Interesting story: I knew a man (my husband) a navy sailor…stationed on an aircraft carrier… who fell overboard in the North Pacific…only one other seaman saw him go over…they fished him out…he survived! During the tail end of the Korean War he was the only man to survive an airplane crash on the deck of an aircraft carrier! After a dishonorable discharge for missing his ship after landing in a Communist jail…he recovered himself..to obtain a…Presidential pardon… and entered flight school in Bryan Texas…graduated 1 of 22 out of 200 cadets..graduated as a first Lt. In the USAF! At his first duty station he was do to fly on a kc 97 air tanker refueler with a 10 man crew..the day of take off an English exchange major bumped my husband off his flight.. as he outranked him and needed the flight time…the plane took of and crashed just shortly after… killing all 10 men on board! This happened shortly before our marriage…I had written him and my letter came back stamped deceased! While flying a practice mission.. as command pilot.. at night on a b-47 bomber..something told my husband to turn on the landing lights…the navigator was off on his calculations and come to find out they were just skimming along the tree tops..only seconds to crash…they barley had time to pull up! While flying as a b-47 command pilot on a night flight to Spain one engine caught fire…they were able to shut it down and continue flight..had it happened during daytime they might never have seen it! In 1966 while flying as a forward air controller.. spotter aircraft.. in Vietnam along with another aircraft my husbands plane was shot down…he perished on June 22nd 1966…3 months before this he surrendered his life to Christ…and was carrying a small Bible I sent him..in his pocket on his flight…he’s with the Lord! You might be tempted to say..he was lucky..or maybe his luck finally ran out…but I don’t believe a word of that….God was with him through all these harrowing incidence! The Lord was speaking to him in every situation…getting his attention…God is never late…He’s always on time when it comes to His elect! He’s willing that none perish..but that all come to repentance!

I was feeling hopeless the other day, since I read or listen to the mounting death toll and injuries as well as what is surely on its way in the near future, too many hours a day.
I took a short walk and witnessed it raining on only one side of the street - I'd never seen this before - and not on the side I was on. I went into a store to make a purchase and walked out to see the unusual rain pattern again and a complete arc, beautiful rainbow on the horizon. I was not rained on. I took it as a sign that all is not lost. We are spirits in a material world...
Maybe God is just tickling his angel, showing his approval.
12 years ago, right outside my front dining room picture window there was the most spectacular double rainbow I have ever saw. I hollered for the three grands, 5, 4, and 3. They rushed into the room, and I yelled "Look!" and I heard "Wow" and "Woo!" and "Papa." Today, they remember it like it was yesterday. It was "MAGIC."
"If the Creator, God, doesn’t love you, who else can and will?"
Myself.
Being alive having the possibility to learn something new every day it's good enough to be a happy and grateful person. Life is a challenge. We just need to assume responsibilities for it and take risks. That's how we grow as conscious beings.
I really needed this right now - including the music link, which brought up this

Getting lost in worldly busyness is still a real danger.
I love this...
"God put you on Earth for a special purpose "
I always tell that to the person making my pizza .
(sometimes i find out that making pizza was NOT the purpose)

God saved your legs while letting thousands of children starve to death, daily..
You must be really special to him.

Just been reading "The Exploits of the Incomparable Nasrudin", the story titled "Fear".
Its punchline is "you don't have to have it [fear] yourself in order to suffer from it!".
Do religious nuts describe themselves as religious nuts?
Are you getting more religious with all this dystopian tyranny Ray?
Maybe we are in a religious war.
WOW why they chose her all makes sense now.. A lot of nerve.. They are celebrating and honoring humanities demise and their crime on Humanity..
