Mountain Tales (Fish Lake) Pt.1

 A bit of sideline classic ephemera--although, actually I don't think anything is "ephemera" in the sense that it is meaningless occurrences, for I believe that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is divinely meant, intentioned, purposeful . . . part of the divine tapestry of God's creation in time. . . .) And beyond.........

Anyway . . . so . . . just to relate some things that happened on the "working" vacation. . . .

The drive through the state . . . heading south . . . was a bit notable, just for the lack of people, traffic, compared to a few years ago. . . . (I think peeps are being hit hard--I know I am--with the inflation and shortages and general commi takedown depleting appurtenances). . . .

The cabin is at a beautiful location . . . tons of Aspens (one of, if not, my favorite of trees). . . . And pines, and scrub. . . .

Little deer cabals flitting here and there, cute smallish squirrels, hawks, birds etc., as usual in the mountains.  Roughly . . . 9000 ft. above sea level . . . purportedly the largest fresh water lake in Utah, Fish Lake, and yes, lotsa fish in there!  Butterflies . . . some pesky "yellow jackets" coveting the grill sauces/meat. . . . 

So... a well-kept 1950s era cabin up on the hill amidst the trees and brush. . . . No wifi (yay!) ... no cell service (yay!) (though you could drive a couple miles downhill to find a "location" to get and give texts to stay in touch as needed. . . .)

I was there to work . . . stain a deck and a big run of stairs.  Had to haul in a lot of paint, supplies etc.  

(To Be Continued)

The Dawning Light That Shines More & More UNTIL!

Quick missive I was led to write just now. . . :

God is LIFE

GOD is TRUTH--the essence, the origin, The BEING of TRUTH,

God is LIGHT.  He will Light your footsteps, one in front of the other, as that is oft all you can "see".

There is darkness all around, and you are walking along a cliff just inches away, which drops into a deep and perfidious endless abyss. . . .

But if you are guided by HIS TRUTH, HIS LIGHT, HIS LIFE . . . step-by-step . . . you will be safe!  Praise God, be thankful, grateful, in awe and Godly "fear" of HIS SOVEREIGNTY and DIVINE LOVE for YOU . . . YOU!  . . . . In this time of darkness. . . .

I hate those who are double-minded, but I love Your instruction.  Psalm 119:113

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.  Psalm 119:105

Indeed, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for YOU are with me; YOUR rod and YOUR staff comfort me.  Psalm 23:4

In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, by His light I walk through darkness.  Job 29:3

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.  Prov. 4:18

Back Home Safe With Tales To Tell

 We made it back home safe:) I took my two boys that still live at home with me--give wifey some alone time at home. . . .

It was a very interesting adventure.  A lot of work, but also some beautiful, inspiring nature, alpine fresh water lake, mountain time. . . . Nearby is the largest living organism in the world--Pando Aspen Grove....

 Aaaand, for kicks, some spooky events transpired, which was entertaining for me and the guys!

Bigfoot activity, I dare say . . . and "ghost" stuff in and around this 1950s classic cabin, at elevation 9000 feet!--No heat or air (just a Franklin stove for the cold nights) and NO wifi/cell service!

 For fun, I'll relate the tales here asap.

God bless!

Psalm 119:105 Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet and Light Unto My Path

Headnin' For The Hills

 I'm heading for the hills . . . mountains . . . just for a few days, doin' some work etc. . . . . Will be incommunicado, but will be back though, hopefully with cool stories and inspirational messages :)

GOD BLESS YOU!  GOD BLESSES YOU!

Remember, to always be finding that place of thankfulness, gratitude, humility, hope, trust and faith and . . . ABOVE ALL, LOVE AND TALK TO GOD, JESUS ALWAYS!!!  PRAY ALWAYS!!!  His Messengers and protectors abound, always perfectly, according to His perfect will!

Yes, we fall short constantly, fallen sinners that we are. . . .

BUT THAT'S WHY WE NEEDED AND HAVE A SAVIOUR!!!

(back shortly ;)

HE HAS A PURPOSE

 I know everything that is going on. . . . 

I am only talking to those who Hear and Know GOD. . . .

Yes, as I have long since said, in the mortal world . . . it is typical (what did I say?) totalitarian "communist" dictatatorship. . . . These are the soldiers of THE DEVIL --so-to-speak--

For as long as The Lord allows . . . I will continue to share. . . .

HELL . . . is a lockdown.

You don't want to be in Hell.

You want to be in Heaven.

The whole mess resides in rebellion against what Is.... Against WHO HIS . . . and WHO IS the Lord of All!

THEY think they can turn the tables . . . and by sheer awful, perverted, violent protest . . . thwart THE WILL OF GOD.

I believe (and will go down Believing such) that "they" can't.

You will find yourself on one side or the other.

You will fall down on your face and THANK GOD, THE FATHER . . . that HE DESIGNED AND CHOSE YOU NOT to secede. . . . 

I am not spending too much time addressing the "day-to-day" machinations. . . .

I WILL . . . as long as I live . . . address and shout out and talk about and honor and love THE PURE, THE LOVE, THE TRUTH of what and Who has been revealed . . . for those who can See and Hear and Know . . . . . . . . . and LOVE!

Yeah, . . . .  it's getting rough. . . . .

BUT it always has been!  Don't think yourself special. . . .

It's not about you . . . . . . . . . . IS THE KEY . . . IS THE TRUTH! . . . . 

IT IS ABOUT THE LORD . . . GOD . . . CREATOR . . . FATHER . . . OF ALL!!!!

 (You know this!  Take heart!  We (as usual, as Believers) are in "interesting" times, heh. . . )

You CAN take Heart. . . .  in Hearing and Knowing The Truth!

AND! 

ANGELS--GOD'S most apt servant warriors do and will surround you . . . through whatever you have to go through. . . . 

THIS LIFE IS SHORT.

DO NOT LOSE SIGHT.

STAY IN YOUR FAITH.

HOLD ON.

TRUST AND LOVE GOD!

HE has a purpose in all this!

And thank God He has been more merciful to you than you deserve!

Where The Treasure Be!

 Just got to say real quick . . . share an experience, take it for what it's worth :)

Recently was (I believe) granted--an albeit quick and light-- glimpse into Heaven and the Love of God.

He and It is everything you long for, hope for . . . and have faith in (if you do)!

Peace . . . compassion . . . love . . . intelligence . . . beauty . . . justice . . . calm . . . eternal. . . .

These are simply a few words to quick describe.  IT IS utterly real and different than mortal imagination--as good as that is. . . .

Don't allow The Accuser and your sins demoralize you.  The taste and vision of Heaven is never far away (but for that obfuscation--ie., The Accuser blinding your genuine love and faith and belief and hope of, in and for God!) 

It is a sweet air there!  It is a relief!  It is near!

You can pray to be shown and/or experience a sampling of it!  He LOVES THAT YOU CARE AND DESIRE SUCH!!!!

It may come in a rare, odd moment during waking time . . . or, it may come in the night. . . .

Whatever, you will KNOW IT . . . and don't let the harping, accusing, belittling, sarcastic, tawdry "voices" in your heart and mind thwart you from EVEN NOW getting a taste of the Heavenly Realm!

Press on!

Don't listen to fools.

Listen to the VERY REAL, COMFORTING voice and importations of THE HOLY SPIRIT!  HE is a blessing we are meant to receive and enjoy and strengthen us in the trying times of this very moment, always!

Praise GOD!

YES . . . it is a little bit about you, within His Design. . . . BUT, truly, the key . . . is to know, love and realize that IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! .... IT IS ABOUT GOD!!!!

(Obviously, this fact is was pisses off the rebellious, lol.  HENCE all the efforts to make you feel marginalized, forgotten, unfairly treated etc.)

The shifting of love and focus from self TO GOD . . . is where the treasure be. . . .  

Let The Fools Question GOD!

"Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me." --Job 38:3

"She equips herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] And makes her arms strong." --Proverbs 31:17

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TONIGHT . . . considering all that is going on . . . and soon to continue . . . and hearing of The Liar's latest vain attempt . . . to cause (NOT Create) chaos and dissention and mayhem. . . . I quickly asked in The Spirit, "What is the scripture that applies in this moment?"

Without looking, without trying to inject my own opinion, THIS is the Word that instantly came to me..... The "girding of the loins" so-to-speak. . . . 

PLEASE do not let yourself be dissuaded, demoralized, brow-beaten, put-down, marginalized, thrashed, hammered, shunted BY THE VAIN AND REPITITOUS MOUTHINGS OF DEMONS OPERATING IN THE FLESH!  NO!

Judgment comes for all.  ALL will be accounted for.  

Some Believe that! . . . many don't, can't.  Sadly, terrifyingly for them. . . . 

Praise God ALWAYS and recall . . . that THANKFULNESS and GRATITUDE and a HUMBLE, SUBMITTED HEART, bowed down before THE LORD OF ALL . . . wins the day!

YES!  It will be difficult. . . . It already (and always in this mortal realm) is.

BUT Remember the unfathomable suffering of The Lord on your behalf!

Remember that this life is short, but a vapor. . . . Withering, drying grass. . . .

Mortal DEATH comes to all.  TO ALL! (No matter their "science" tech, occult "tech", preening vain machinations in the meantime . . .  DEATH yet waits on their doorstep. . . .  

WHERE WILL YOU GO and WHO do you want to be with FOREVER!!!!?

THAT is the ONLY question to be solved!

Find Him NOW and find Him fast and find that you are engaging with Him every day--as much as humanly possible within your fallen self. . . . !

All of the distractions and subterfuge and lies and perversions and deliberate obfuscations against THIS ONE CENTRAL POINT AND PURPOSE . . . is simply . . . ALL that is going on right now.

. . . . It is obvious to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. . . . !

This thing is real!  IT IS a Spiritual battle!  We are in the midst of an ages long war!  YOU are in the midst of the battle, every day, every moment. . . . 

NEVER FORGET . . . NONE of us will suffer anywhere . . . ANY WHERE NEAR as much as The Son suffered Himself on our behalf!  ALWAYS remember that!  (It is ludicrous to even consider that we might suffer compared to what HE took upon Himself, suffering, on our behalf!)

So, of course, you will be humble and gracious, and grateful FOR ANY suffering that you may go through FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE!  TAKE HEART!  HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU . . . and yes, the end is nigh. . . . But the glory is GREAT!  BEYOND ALL MEASURE, FOREVER for those who persevere to "the end" loving God!

You Know this.  

It ain't easy, I know. . . .

HE KNOWS and experienced it ain't easy. . . !

So, He is your friend and comfort through it all. . . . Many have gone before and suffered much worse.

When the gallows ring . . . it is in tune . . . with the UNENDING GLORIOUS SONG AND BEAUTY OF GOD'S PERFECT PURPOSE!!!!

Glory comes in the morning. . . . We will be justified!

FAITH!  FAITH!  FAITH!  Be excited for the joy and love and unending relationship with The Father of All to come in our future!!!

(Wait! . . . do you question His intention?  Do you still whine and piss and moan?  "Woe is me". . . ?

DON'T BE A FOOL!  DO NOT QUESTION THE GLORY AND WISDOM AND PERFECT PLAN OF GOD!  (Let the fools do that! HA!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

2“Who is this who obscures My counsel

by words without knowledge?a

3Now brace yourselfb like a man;

I will question you, and you shall inform Me.c

4Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Tell Me, if you have understanding.

5Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know!

Or who stretched a measuring line across it?

6On what were its foundations set,

or who laid its cornerstone,d

7while the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8Who enclosed the sea behind doors

when it burst forth from the womb,

9when I made the clouds its garment

and thick darkness its blanket,

10when I fixed its boundaries

and set in place its bars and doors,

11and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther;

here your proud waves must stop’?

12In your days, have you commanded the morning

or assigned the dawn its place,

13that it might spread to the ends of the earth

and shake the wicked out of it?

14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;

its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.

15Light is withheld from the wicked,

and their upraised arm is broken.

16Have you journeyed to the vents of the sea

or walked in the trenches of the deep?

17Have the gates of death been revealed to you?

Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

18Have you surveyed the extent of the earth?

Tell Me, if you know all this.

19Where is the way to the home of light?

Do you know where darkness resides,

20so you can lead it back to its border?

Do you know the paths to its home?

21Surely you know, for you were already born!

And the number of your days is great!

22Have you entered the storehouses of snow

or observed the storehouses of hail,

23which I hold in reserve for times of trouble,

for the day of war and battle?

24In which direction is the lightning dispersed,

or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25Who cuts a channel for the flood

or clears a path for the thunderbolt,

26to bring rain on a barren land,

on a desert where no man lives,

27to satisfy the parched wasteland

and make it sprout with tender grass?

28Does the rain have a father?

Who has begotten the drops of dew?

29From whose womb does the ice emerge?

Who gives birth to the frost from heaven,

30when the waters become hard as stone

and the surface of the deep is frozen?

31Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades

or loosen the belt of Orion?

32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasonse

or lead out the Bearf and her cubs?

33Do you know the laws of the heavens?

Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34Can you command the clouds

so that a flood of water covers you?

35Can you send the lightning bolts on their way?

Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?

36Who has put wisdom in the heartg

or given understanding to the mind?

37Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?

Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens

38when the dust hardens into a mass

and the clods of earth stick together?

39Can you hunt the prey for a lioness

or satisfy the hunger of young lions

40when they crouch in their dens

and lie in wait in the thicket?

41Who provides food for the raven

when its young cry out to God

as they wander about for lack of food?
