The County Parson

Body
One thing that irritates me is people talking behind my back. I want to be part of the conversation because I know more about me than they do. Or at least I think I do While in the mall recently, I passed two people, and I heard one say, 'Doesn't he look stupid?'

Welcome Integrity: Firstborn

Body
First son breathed in the YH and then breathed out WH. The name of G-D, YHWH. Every single one of us from the beginning of time as from the moment of conception, was created. We are born inhaling G-d’s name, and we depart exhaling His name: YH... WH. I believe we live in eternity. The gift of life on the physical realm, transforms the world by our presence. How and why? The Holy Spirit resides within our pineal gland as the light of life. It has been called the seat of the soul.

Broken and Scarred

Body
I walked into the dining room, surprised to see dirt scattered over the floor. There’d been no children here. So, what happened? Beneath the window, I had placed two pot plants that, I had managed to keep alive. One was healthy, the other barely alive. (I don’t seem to have, a green thumb, at all.) I found the reason for the dirt. The top of the table that the plant had been sitting on, was lying on the floor. It had been broken off the table legs. That must have made some loud noise. Yet, I didn’t hear it. Maybe I was at church.

Welcome Integrity: LOVE

Body
“ And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” __ Romans 5:5 We feel it, honor it, and respect it. We handle it differently as we mature. In the English language, LOVE is used for loving just about everything aside from God and people: animals, foods, plants, places, sports, hobbies, holidays, and so on. Did you know that?

From won’t to will!

Body
I was still way too sick, to be doing this. Yet, here I was. This is the only day out of the month; that this happened. So, I was just praying; I would be able to make it. There was a line of cars. I was probably tenth in line. I usually planned it that way. I would be sitting here for an hour. But, many others would be here, much longer.

You can resist

Body
The largest barrier for many in the subject of healing is the belief that God is the one responsible for our healing. The theological positions vary from “God wants you sick for His glory”, to “He can heal, but will He?”, to “If it be His will”, to “why doesn’t God do something?”.
