I came to this with the Divine Mercy meeting. We always start with sharing our blessings, and I knew everyone had already heard or helped me through my last bike accident, so I didn't want to say anything. Lisette finally asked me specifically. I started out saying that I finally learned I had hit a neighbor’s truck and had enough understanding to submit an auto insurance claim. On the phone trying to submit, she asked the date of the accident and I had to look up the report at the hospital. And then when I opened it, I noticed they had already zeroed out all the fees. Wow, she said, “three days in the hospital dismissed, that’s a real blessing.”
After reviewing our blessings together we started talking about our readings and what we learned there. So I knew how my sharing had only started. Yes, bringing me back to my first line in SEEL work: “To whom much is given, much is expected.” So here sharing this moment as well with JOYFM just shared glad TIDINGS, where the mic picked up Candice talking on the radio: “you’re hanging out with us; Maverick city with a song that uses one of the names for God that’s listed in the Bible. The name is Jireh meaning he is our provider” that was so cool cause the radio came through on this microphone.
Now random beta feedback to apple: having the space to write makes everything easier, make everything work right and I forget that I can talk to it too. It is really cool if I get the music going as well, but then to be able to do everything together. Explaining what is not working just right yet. I know talking to the machine such a blessing. Everything is such a blessing. So if I can explain it with my voice, while you see the scribbles on the screen. What use is video without the sound… my words got stuck here a dozen times in this last paragraph
Now again, I start with a new Bible verse for SEEL Week 3 Luke 11:1-13, that starts with the intimacy of the Lords prayer and what it is that we ask for. Again always the power and focus is about loving our Father. The greatest blessing of being a father is providing for children and a family. And of course, I always feel that is where I will end up again; Married with children. I deeply understand the ask and the desire to answer to bring great fulfillment to the father. And for me to be able to write this experience as it happens here before my eyes is another great blessing of no bike working! Knowing the complete blessing I have now again in Christ alone, brings such awesome insights. But here and now, I know it's about honoring this place and time that Jesus has given to me.Wow, what is weird is knowing Jesus has been asking me to get on my bike again. And I wonder if that is just a distraction from my real work here. Put two patches on and it still leaks, knowing the love I share here is where I belong. Now adding another patch ;-/
And of course that is what the Exodus reading was about today too: OUR WORK! Doing our work! The fact that he promises to make them fishers of men, highlighting their original trade, seems to imply that they were quite excellent at it. And I guess my continuous challenge has been stepping into whatever God calls me to do . . . Because I’m good at it!! . . . . Teaching, sharing, and writing about it . . . Biking and working, teaching, learning… uhg, WRITING! Yes, writing more every day!
And I know that's why I'm always challenged to ask for more, since I always ask for the same thing, I know I need more Strength, Love, & Wisdom - what I’ve asked for. Returning to Eden is no small task, and I stepped into every task before me, never really knowing where it was going, or what could be next. But ready to step in. I mean like now I'm teaching again and I just found out the professor I am helping wrote her PhD on experiential education. . . . Which I realize is something that I essentially created.
Which is the whole point, that its all for the love of God. God’s work, God’s gift , God’s insight, God’s opportunity, it’s all God, so I just want the love of God, I want to fulfill His Eden, create and share the love and experience that He’s created for us, and to have it exactly the way that He imagined with that first spark. 2:02:21 11/9/2024 and again now I learn how its still new and He is creating with us this very moment. Which really means GoD'S Eden could even be the challenge of training and experience that we created In an AirBnB scout trip, mangrove planting, or bike ride.
So now the Next Verse for SEEL Isaiah 55:1-13 has another strong question: Are you able to be still and simply listen to God, in Scripture and in the deepest desires of your heart? And of course it all goes back to my deepest desires again. What did I ask for? What did I really want? What was my real passion about? What was my real goal? Can I be that specific?
What does it really mean to want to be in The Garden of Eden? How can I restore something that has never left us? How do I go back into something that has evolved and grown into something new? I think about the Jehovah Witness where John is now and how they have some picture of life on earth when Jesus comes back, literally the lamb with the lion.
Isn’t all scripture really about having our deepest desire becoming God? Not that we become God ourselves, but our deepest desire is to love God, become part of God, share with God. I guess it’s really ourselves having the experience of love. Being, sharing, and feeling that deepest most pure holy love that is God: Father, Son & Holy Ghost!!
Ok so I guess I read this next verse before I posted it. So listening to the scripture here Is just a blessing again, with the waters of life bringing me into joy. Where the waters come forth, bringing abundant pardons, joys, great good in an everlasting covenant when we seek our Lord first!
How cool is that?
I mean, I’m just in the right place the right time again. And now I gotta be really careful and stay humble, even if I just say the obvious. Sure, I tried to fix my bike tire a dozen times now. But I also recognize How important it was to write. . . I mean, the farmers market ended two hours ago. I always try to get there when it starts. Which was eight hours ago.
Psalm 63:1-8 ("My soul thirsts for you"). What do you thirst for? How do you experience God's "steadfast love"?
Next verse for SEEL Psalm 63…. 4:19:29 11/9/24 I need to find and post. Ok so, I went to write in a paper journal and started to write what really belongs here. I always say or play like, I don't understand. But in all honesty I might be the only one who really understands. Like I know Jesus and how He guides and protects me all the time. I really have almost always known this and recognize it has been something really hard to share or discuss with anyone. It's not that I really need to, or ever really cared if anyone knows, or understands anything I do or write about anyway. I guess I know this is not really for me anyway, though I always seem to benefit whenever I return to read anything here. And in all truth I sometimes feel this is all for another race or species at another place and time. 
I've even thought before this was something God wanted done so that when it's all finished we can go back and read about something unique. I know there are thousands or millions who try to reach others and create real - change. Just like I sure there are millions who share with Jesus and write about it. But who am I to judge anyway, I will just keep writing and growing and hopefully someday this will all make sense to me or to someone. Love and God only for the sake of God for the sake of love. Love for the moment accepting this task, accepting the responsibility.

Always thirsty for God, and bringing me back to the c waters that have always been my life. So the love and Joy - I have is always present as I continue to praise and pursue the Grace of God. And again this Verse reinforces all that I know and experience in life. As I experience and share in this love as best as I can to be and share all that I have. All things for the sake of GOD and all for the Glory of God. Surrendering the self to bring more love and experience in love.

Surrendering the self to bring more love and experience in love.My morning listening of Charles Stanley on intouch.org Brings me Back to the Glory of God again. He said that so clearly I recorded it, To share and wrote down this anyway. Guess the Holy Spirit is all about my Guardian Angels. I feel like it’s a room full of spirits because sometimes it sounds like my mom, and sometimes Joyce, and sometimes Joni, and even Emily and Christopher come through sometimes.
So doing God‘s work now, and fulfilling God‘s life, is about accepting His guidance, energy and direction to step into this relationship . . . With my guardian angels! My mother, a Trinity of women. . . Father, Son and Holy ghost! I guess it’s understanding the mystery that God is really divine and we’re all just branches together. I’m just a grape this week! And sometimes I’m a branch too though. It’s all about returning to Jesus, it’s all about love, Everyone is Love, that’s all we have here!
Satan is the deception. It takes us away from love, like shutting off the light. The love is always there ready and waiting for us. I just sent in another Apple feedback video. Someone replied to me about fixing something for me. So I went and tried the color dropper again. Than wrote a long thank you letter to them in the reply. And explained the attached Video, where the stuck text is still there. with my stupid work around. And added other keyboard issues they never fixed. It sucks, since Steve died getting a beta fixed is a crapshoot. I’m lucky if they catch anything I tell them now, before IT’d be fixed the next day, not anymore. I seem to remember about a year ago, I was all excited about getting an update every week, but that only lasted a month or two, I'm sure that is written in my blogs too.
Last night with diner I found this video to watch about Saint Catherine of Siena. And she was doing exactly like I do and love . . . Now with the autocorrect working, the words here are better than what I was planning to say, because I was writing about myself Instead of the True Passion of Jesus. . .
So as usual, I’m overwhelmed with the opportunity and priority to be here and share and grow in Jesus. I remember when Covid first hit, and I could smell the scams a mile away. Like my boss sending the engineering team home after his board meeting at the hospital. I’m sure they all planned investing in Pfizer stock or something more sinister and pathetic. But I was called to ST Pete and was suddenly almost forced to ride my bike and discover what could be next.
I get the sense now that I'm still needing to bike with the sunrise, and plant mangroves, love the water and everything else I find. It was really remarkable how I ended up biking and learning for months After Covid. It Feels like more I need to step back and research in my Journals. Actually, this really feels like I’m about to do that again. Like the world‘s gonna stop again. It is the same song on the radio repeating the same story to let the healing begin.
Everything happens so quickly. Like I need to read and post the next SEEL verse: DAY 4 Read Psalm 103 ("Bless the LORD, O my soul"). Speak a similar psalm from your heart.
The deepest truth, knowing Jesus is that everything is a blessing when we understand HIS perspective on trying to make a bigger group.
And I actually said grape instead of group; because I was envisioning the vine and being one of the branches, or this week one of the Grapes! It’s always about growing my love, everything about our experience comes back to that grow, grow, grow…
In fact, from all of my experience, Jesus is really good at growing lots of grapes. I find myself trying to make wine now because I have so many grapes. Of course, playing like a grape, not working is easy too, but then I also recognize that my time and effort writing here is critical work as well.
What’s funny is that I’ve written a dozen emails, and text messages, and social media posts and all kinds of weird stuff while working here. I’ve actually joined X, and Neighborhood, and TikTok, and Rumble… I mean Bishop Barron has a Rumble! I actually followed a bunch of people too. And posted to Facebook and Instagram. Usually, the only thing I post on is LinkedIn…. The flood issues are all that I know about!
Of course, my last email was how much this is a trip into the twilight zone for me. Because my first HS accident dream was about a city with moving sidewalks. Then the Patent that I filed at USF was using stormwater to move sidewalks!!! So now to be in a city desperate for solutions when we get an election that points to major solutions for all the scams I've spoken about for years.
It’s remarkable to me, like RFKjr’s speech about the health poisons in our culture showing up in my email box the day after I presented my mom’s sermon … yes fumbled presenting. While the video of RFKjr was beautiful and focused so much beyond my own rambling.
