Alone, by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
Cause nobody
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Thanks MC, we are not alone !

Before this goes any further, please restrict your comments of me receiving a "dream" instead of a "vision". Thank you , thank you very much,......:-) .
In the early hours I dreamed I was in the stands, close to the floor of a gym, watching a indoor football game. No Stevie, Stu, the ball was not round. :-)
Our team was loosing, and I was eating crackers and cream cheese.
One time the ball lined up right in front of me, so I was able to look down "the line of scrimmage" If I remember the correct phrase. Well I observed the opposing team defensive player toe to the line, but tower over our player in his " 3 point stance" on the floor, the guy had his arms clearly over the line and his upper body as well. I realized he was "intimidating" our player unfairly. So I yelled Hey ! Your over the line ! Get back !! He was right in front of me on this end of the line, his head turned as he heard me and looked right back in front of him as if he did not want to acknowledge his wrong, but, he backed up! While we waited for the play to resume, another defensive player toward the middle of the line tried to sneak across the line of scrimmage to intimidate another of our players, so I yelled at him to get back and was joined in by someone I could not see to my right, the player moved back as we both hollered at him.
Then it seemed like the attention was on us, the game was stopped, a guy in a neat 3 piece suit came from the other side of the floor from the left, crossed the middle of the floor and went to the person on my right that I could not see in the stands, then walked toward where I was, looked like he was going to walk by me, but stopped, backed up so he was on my left, he was very neat and well groomed and he bent over and spoke softly to me suggesting that I go to visit "the dance halls" I said 'NO ! ' He said ' I think you should ' as he straightened back up, I replied 'I don't think so ! ' ..............Then I woke up!
Like Peter, who went out, contemplating as to what this meant, I realized that I never saw a referee out there in the game. Then I realized the players responded to me and the other person, like we were the referees ! Then this scripture came to mind : 13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up [herself]. 13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13:13 And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
As Jesus , in a unusual example of ministering to a person who did not come to Him, but He called her out, He was acting as "The Referee" and declared a "FOUL" committed on a daughter of Abraham.
So also, as His body, do likewise !
Any more spiritual insights are welcome to post ! Grace and Peace to Y'all.

This may not be "new" for some, but it sure blessed the socks off me today!
We were singing about standing on Holy ground during worship today, and I was putting as much of "me" into it as I could, spirit, soul and body to worship my King. Thoughts of Holy Ground came to my mind as I was singing, thoughts of Moses and the burning bush , and God saying take the sandals off your feet, your standing on Holy Ground. I went ahead and kicked my sandals off my feet as we were singing. Then thoughts came into my mind of just why did God want that anyway, was it to show we were not good enough with our shoes on? Did we not match or meet His bar of acceptance with our shoes on? Do we have to do something to meet His acceptance?.....About then is when I heard the still quiet voice of my Daddy God saying to me...."No, I just did not want anything to get between, or insulate me from who I Love"......talk about waves of mercy,..waves of grace....flooding over me during worship! Wow!
All these years I've looked at it ( taking shoes off on Holy Ground) to be us, gotta be doing something to gain admittance before God. A performance based acceptance hang up of mine.
While all along it's God just wanting to show a act of Love to us!
If the ground is Holy, God is there, so with our bare feet, we are in contact with Him! Cool!

From: Dr. Donald M. Williams of La Jolla,Calif.
It was a touching, tender moment. After exchanging vows, the couple continued to face each other, hands clasped. A chord, then the groom sang to his bride with great feeling, "I'd rather have Jesus........"

Ever been to a progressive dinner? Fellow-shipping at as many homes as you have courses of you meal? Oh yea, then the last house you go to would be for desert!
This is a progressive Blog, on the Feminine person of The Godhead. I'm not going to write a full length blog taking it all in at once, I'm going to give the appetizer, then add to it as I address any posts, and move throughout my understanding of this subject,(it may not take long).
I have heard it said, and I agree, don't major on the minors of scripture. This subject doe's not have a major role in our salvation, so I won't major on it. It's just food for thought!
Genesis Chap. 2, is the detailed account of Adams creation, and Eve's creation.
We know that Adam was created, and was unable to find a suitable "helpmate" in all of The Creators world. There were male and female this, that, and everything else, but no female human. Until God put a deep sleep on Adam, and took out of Adam everything needed to make Eve with.
We know that our God is One:
6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:
The Lord created Adam in the physical realmand found he had no helpmate he could fellowship with, until he took the human femininity out, which became Eve in the physical realm.
We know also that even though God is one, He spoke to Himself:
3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
So God, who is Spirit, and not having any problem fellow-shipping with Himself in the spirit realm, had to separate the male and female human Adam, so they could fellowship in the physical realm! As, Adam and Eve!
I hope your appetite is turned on, there is a lot more!
