TRUTH is STRANGER THAN FICTION . . .THE UNTOLD STORY

'Beyond any human being I’ve met'


Sitting down at my computer to write a new post, Google stares back at me, as I attempt to sign in. This is largely how I hear what has already traveled the world. News to me ... is old news to the everyone else. I'm not connected to TV, news-feeds, Facebook or all those social outlets and connecting apps. I choose not to. 


I was immediately drawn to the human interest story of Maya Hughes and Tom Perriello - past Congressman and current executive director of the Open Society Foundations’ U.S. Programs. Just in case you haven't heard... I'll place a link to the story at the end.  


15 years ago... our country was in a different place. This story wouldn't have even had the technology to go viral as it has today. But beyond that, we lived in a safer place. Today, Tom's fears of then being accused of sex trafficking... traveling with a 5 yr old stranger... without any documentation... would have caused more than a slight delay. 


Sex - trafficking is so understated. It happens so innocently... so easily. I just want to say that for me,  Tom Perriello has earned the badge of 

TRUSTWORTHINESS 

with children.

"Imagine that moment! It has to rank at the top of any Christian's list of dreams —to hold the very Son of God in your arms with the understanding of His purpose for coming. This is what Simeon had been promised, and here He is. It was the final exclamation point to fulfill his heart's desire.

THE KISS OF HIS PRESENCE

 ....in the midst of a

COLD and CLOUDY WINTER DAY. 

Christmas Eve day 2018

The dream was not a good dream. It was hugely fearful. I awakened trembling and whimpering like a little child. I seriously struggled to catch my breath. The Lord woke me up to rescue me from the dream's evil intention against me. But He wanted me to write about it to gain His revelation...to walk in understanding and healing. His rod and His staff... They comfort me. He is my Faithful Shepherd.... In Him... I have everything I need. I wrote for 2 hours...  Non stop!
