I ramble and Spirit speaks
I Ramble and Spirit Speaks
It is almost the middle of February and my Birthday the fifteenth of February which
marks the fifty-eighth anniversary of my twenty-first birthday.
So many years so many wonderful events as they say even the worse were wonderful. This is only the second time this year I have sat down to allow Spirit to speak through
me as I ramble along.
I have been and done many
things I would rather my children didn’t do or go. I have experienced many events I pray my children
never have to experience.
I have seen and felt
pain far beyond what I would want or ask anyone to experience.
No one ever told me about cause and effect and I never found out about it until my fifties when I was blessed enough
to have a stroke and received a ‘New Age’ Counselor after requesting a Christian Counselor. I
was however wise enough to want to see where Spirit was leading me this time.
Through The Course In Miracles to Religious Science to several ‘Mystery Schools’
I was lead to the point where I began to put together my own set of beliefs which consisted of those things which appeared
to ‘work ‘ for me and not against me.
I
also began to either voluntarily have removed from my life or pulled forcefully from me influences that were less than positive
to me and for me. Ones that I later saw or were shown to be toxic to me.
Surrendering to Spirit is a wonderful experience for even now when I don’t
things go from bad to worse until I surrender and allow Spirit to guide me.
I love being in Spirit for then I am in peace. I love the quiet for when I
get around a lot of noise whether it be ‘music’ or just plain noise I tend to lose it.
Right now the only sound is the sound of my laptop’s fan and the pups beginning
to beg for dinner. Peace beautiful peace that reigns in silence. It is as if Spirit
were standing at my side stroking the keyboard for me.
All
of this or something better is what I live by. 2002 I went from a hill top view overlooking the LA Basin
to sleeping on the floor in a retail Spiritual Center and Book store I was a partner of then for a year to an old motorhome
parked in front to a one bedroom apartment to where I am now a four bedroom home with my friend and partner of two years.All of this or something better.My life has changed so much yes there are still health and financial issues although they too by faith shall be gone
shortly.
Life is as beautiful as we allow it to
be for the more we dwell on our issues the larger they become. If we can do something to solve then do
it if not then why worry about it? Turn it over to Spirit and allow Spirit to take care of it.
MY life has changed since I committed myself to another person to do the best I could
to love and care for her. So I also chose to love and believe in YOU

The New Year as I see it
On this the eighth day of 2012 which according to the Mayan calendar will see the world
end as we know it. I personally do not see this as the end of the world or the end as we may be personally
living it at this time.This will not be the first time the world has ended
as people knew it for it is certainly different now than prior to 9/11/01.
How
about prior to 08 when credit was much easier for most people and most mortgages were still right side up instead of upside
down or how about when BP sent millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico causing billions of dollars worth of damage
to the many states with beaches on the Gulf.
To tell a truth the world
changes every day for someone though seldom does it change for all at one time. This may be one of those
or maybe not.
People tell me that they feel less secure than they did
prior to 9/11 which tells me that they draw their security from outside influences rather than from their own selves.
Security like peace comes from within not without. Without inward peace one
will never find it outside of themselves.
Peace never comes from anger
or negativity. Peace only comes from a positive hopeful place deep within us which is found by taking the
time to look for it or to just allow it to be. Peace is a natural state of being when we allow it to be.
Too many of us are too busy running here and dashing there.
Sandy and I were Shopping in a major retailer last night and the energy was so chaotic It made me nauseous to the point
I had to go to the car and let Sandy finish up our shopping.
For the
last week I have had flu like symptoms and been in bed until Friday I forced myself to get catch the bus to Sandy’s
work pick up the car and go shopping on my own.
It felt good to get
up and get out in the world. I enjoy people or at least watching people for it is better than any trip
to the zoo I ever took. I play a game with myself as I see someone where I pretend to or at least attempt
to ‘read’ their body language to see what their life may be. Do
they have wedding rings on or are they with family or friends, what is their job or career. What level
of prosperity do they enjoy.
Being from Texas I learned at an early
age that clothes do not always tell the story of a person. I remember as a young boy reading in our local
paper that one of our local legends had died. This man we all saw walking around town
in old clothes appearing to be homeless when in reality it was revealed that he actually was very wealthy and went around
this way to see how others would treat him if they didn’t know he was in fact wealthy which reminds of the scripture
which tells up to be aware that we may be entertaining an angel unaware.
Many
a time I have been dressed really, really good with little or no money to my name. Then there have been
times I have been in jeans and a t shirt with a couple of hundred dollars in my wallet and a flush bank account.The way I have found to tell the prosperity of a person is one their confidence level…two
their hygiene level or their appearance…three the sparkle or lack thereof in their eye...four their posture…
five their language for a prosperous person is seldom negative or abusive to others. I
was once told that if I ever wanted to truly know someone to watch how they treat people that served them or worked for them.
This coming year will literally be whatever we make it. Who
we elect as President, how we face each morning whether we do it with a frown or a smile also how we treat those we see every
day and most especially those we love and live with.
We need to remember
that life and relationships are like bank accounts we can only take out what we have put in. Too many overdrafts
on life or relatinships will see those account closed to us
.Only when
we make constant and continued deposits into life accounts do we continue to be allowed withdrawals.
Love is the only thing that the more we give away the more we have to give away and when we
keep it to ourselves it begins to die. Only by sharing love can it grow and spread. A
smile given away is bound to return quickly.
A kind word can make someone’s
day and maybe even save a life.
Whatever we give is what we received
back as also what we are looking for is looking for us.
As I treat
others is how I shall be treated. In my life I have been fortunate to have had many people work for me
at one time or the other and not one of these former employees ever refused me when things were reversed as it did several
times when they were the ones hiring and I was the one looking.
I have
been blessed in my life to have had more than most especially people that have loved me. I was many times
to be the one to overdraw the bank of life account and lose these special ones. Nothing is sadder than
losing a loved one because we were idiots not respecting those that loved us.
Learning
to forgive others for being human is one of life’s huge lessons. No matter how good we may have it
the grass always looks better on the other side of the fence or as Erma Bombeck once said” the grass is always greener
over the septic tank” and boy was she right.
I guess in the last
sixty-eight years I have made about every mistake short of wrongfully taking a life that a man can make. You
name it and I probably did it once or twice if it felt good. The thing is I have always been the type of
person that could never get away with anything and paid for all the wrongs I did and many a time I paid for my friends wrongs.
Of course it could be said I had the wrong friends and paid for having them.
The beautiful thing is that life is forgiving as it gives us a new day every morning to start over with as
we have a new year to make something beautiful out of. So join me this year as I make a beautiful life
for me and those that I love.
So remember as always I love and believe
in YOU.

Isaac Rambles
Isaac RamblesSitting here in my lazy
boy recliner after an extended stay in the Mountains I believe I am the most blessed man alive. I sit here
in my jamies at 3:00 in the afternoon after a night filled with expelling mucus from my nasal passages all night until Sandy
took mercy upon me (also I suspect so she could sleep) with a mucus relieving tablet.I then slept soundly the rest of the night and most of today. Yes, I have
the extreme privilege of being the host to a flu bug which I intend to evict as soon as possible so I would appreciate you
sending me beautiful healing energy when you have the chance.Thanks for
that.I haven’t written anything to be published in a while for I have
been in my hermit mode. There are times I just wonder what makes me think I have the right to tell anyone
anything. Then I realize I am not “telling” anyone to DO or BE anything.
All I am doing is giving my experiences and the way I have handled them rightly or wrongly in one believes in right
or wrong.Possibly by giving my insights someone else may be able to move
through some easier and quicker with my insight or hindsight if you will. The most important thing in my
life I believe was when I discovered there were angels and a power in the Universe that was mine to use
at any time I remembered to use them. There is universal
power, laws and knowledge that is available to one and all that believe and are willing to be shown the way to use them. We don’t just snap our fingers and they are magically there although it is sorta that
way.Angels can only help us if we ask them to, although sometimes all we
have time for is Angels help. Also Angels are limited to help us at times it is not ours to leave this
dimension, although they are there to assist us making the transition.When
we ask for the assistance of Spirit we must be specific in our request and then leave it up to Spirit to fulfill our request.
Always end a request with all of this or something better for the good of all and harm to none, then release it with
thanks, gratitude and appreciation to allow Spirit to work.Many times answer
to challenges can come to us as we are sleeping or as we awake if we have posed the challenge to Spirit right
before slipping off to sleep.Healing, of which I am in dire need of at this
time can come at the instant of request if we so believe; or it can come slowly if that is our belief. As hard as it is for most people to believe we are in control of our lives by the thoughts we
have, the words we speak and the actions we perform. Think , speak, act
in a positive manner have a positive live. Think, speak, act negatively then have a life filled with negativity,
challenges and obstacles.Life is much like a garden with weeds.
As we pulled the weeds and throw them away so they can not come back our garden is clear with only good things in it.
However, if we pull the weeds and allow them to fall where they may then they come back to haunt us. So
it is with the thoughts, words and actions in our life.It seldom fails when
I speak a negative word or have a negative thought then whamo I hit my head, fall or otherwise harm myself and it is to the
point it is almost instantaneous with my thought, words or actions.So now
comes time for decision do I hit save or delete, send or not.I
have not published anything since Thanksgiving last year, about two months ago it has been.
I have written many things and then Spirit says son this was for you now hit delete. This time I
believe it will go out so as always remember I believe and love each and every one of you.

The Miracle and Magic of Thanksgiving
The Miracle and Magic of Thanksgivin
By
Rev. W. Isaac Norris
3rd
This coming Thursday the fourth one of the month of November
we celebrate Thanksgiving. Many of us without any knowledge of what it is we celebrate.Our present day form of Thanksgiving is in honor of those 53 surviving members of the Plymouth
colony we know today as Pilgrims that celebrated their first harvest with a meal shared by the Indians and their Chief that
literally saved their lives by teaching them how to plant corn with a fish in each planting with a grain of corn.They sat down together and ate together as a symbol of peace between the two people while giving
thanks for their survival.This year the day of Thanksgiving for many in
the many religions and others that practice magick it is a very magical day as it is not only a New Moon but a Solar Eclipse.
A great day for doing and receiving Magick.
Very few are aware
of the Magic of Thanksgiving, gratefulness and appreciation.
I truly
believe that if one did nothing more than be really and truly thankful, grateful and appreciative in all
they did that they would receive all they pray for. The secret is to be thankful, grateful and appreciate
before we see in our present life those things we have prayed for.
Unlike
those pilgrims of 1623 we do not see a harvest once a year that makes us so grateful, thankful and appreciative for we see
our harvests on a weekly, biweekly or even once a month as our checks come in from our work, pensions or social security so that
we may not be as thankful, grateful or appreciative as we do not see them as a modern day harvest. Most
people think of a harvest as that of fruits or vegetables being brought in from the field yet what else are those checks we
get whether from an employer or our government in the form of Social Security but harvests of payments for work that we have
performed.
If we did begin to treat them as a harvest to be thankful
for we would see many more miracles happen in our life for today with the economy as it appears to be our just getting a paycheck
is a miracle to be thankful for.
Think of all of those that are out
there homeless today as we go to our safe, warm, comfortable homes. Think of those seventy five thousand
homeless vets out there with nowhere to go. Homelessness is a disgrace in its self to us but for those
that risked their lives for us many of which were wounded for us to be out there living in those tent cities.
Many of them doing it willingly so they do not have to hear some do-gooder stand and preach their theology at them
just to get a hot meal and warm safe bed for the night. I
would give a lot to be able to be able to offer a place of safety, warmth and food without preaching their
sins to them but give them the opportunity to learn skills and how to be grateful for all things that happen and let them
know from one that has been there in the mission, living in my van that there are brighter days ahead of
them if only they will believe it and begin to be thankful, grateful and appreciative for all they have been through, are
going through and may go through.If we started and ended our day with a
prayer of thanksgiving, gratitude and appreciation I believe we would all see more magickal miracles in our lives.I find myself as I drive down the street or walking along giving thanks for all of the blessings
I have had, do have, and will have always ending every prayer and meditation with harm to none and good for all with all of
this or something better.
My life is and has been a miracle for I have
been privileged to see much of this world even as far away as China basically for free as someone’s companion for six
years prior to their transition in 2005. I was given a fifty percent working partnership in a wonderful
Spiritual Gift and Book Store for my business knowledge and leadership. Leaving after six years for the
good of the business to find a new path for myself which I fought tooth and nail only to find it to be one of the best decisions
of my life.
They say you cannot sit in your home and find love yet
one day after almost four years as I sat in front of my computer I received an email that said I found you and truly she had
for from that email evolved a deep friendship that lead to a deeper love that brought us to today and through a beautiful
ceremony many of you shared with us almost two years ago.
I have and
do live my life with thanksgiving, gratitude and appreciation for I have found that as I do this many beautiful and wonderful
things happening as my finding this Church,(Eternal Light CEnter of Hope) becoming one of the ministers here and loving
all of you as I know you do me.
If only we, as those pilgrims from1623
did to learn to live a life of Thanksgiving, gratitude, and appreciation we too would find miracles and magick in our lives.There have been days that I have been so lost in depression which I fight constantly that until
I give thanks for where I am with gratitude and appreciation that I stay lost in it.I
find myself seeking constantly for the motivation to go one more day. Then my sweetie puts her arms around
me telling me she loves me that I know where and what my motivation is.My
motivation is to be the man this woman believes me to be with Thanks, gratitude and appreciation.Today know that I love and believe in each and every one of YOU.

My Life
My LifeAt sixty eight life looks much
different than it did fifty years ago. It seems so hard at times to look in the mirror and see this old
gentleman looking back at me. What happened to that bright eyed young man with the big smile and the mischief
in his eyes. Where did this old codger come from? Where did that young man with a smile and a few words could charm the pants off of the young ladies.
As a hairstylist I remember dancing with a young lady telling her that I would curl her hair if she would curl my toes.
What a time those sixties and seventies were. It
seems that the kids now days with their demonstrations and all are a throwback to the sixties when we took to the streets
to protest the war in Viet Nam. Roaming through the streets of Tripoli, Libya with my best friend Jack
from Jersey. Wandering past the outdoor meat bread and vegetable markets. When things got rough I was running off to the carnival where I was only one of many with a
college degree hiding out from life. I saw more masters and doctorates there than many companies could
boast of having.I remember stealing ice off of the ice wagon on a hot summer
Texas day while the delivery man was inside putting the ice in the icebox. While dodging the
milk man’s wagon on the way to the outdoor laundry mat under the pecan trees.Listening
to the grand ol’ opry on my Uncle’s battery radio he got mail order from Sears as the ladies
quilted in the living room in front of the fireplace while stepping around the piglets whose momma wouldn’t feed them.Seeing the Electric company bring the first wires into our house in the country while not long
after hearing that Russia had put up a thing called Sputnick into Space.Taking
our cans of milk into town to be sold along with the eggs as we also got up early to feed the pigs and milk the cows after
feeding them. Learning not to go into the pasture with the big red bull. Getting
a black eye when my rubber slingshot broke and snapped me in the eye.When
dressing up was starched and pressed jeans and a white shirt, then progressing to black slacks and a white shirt when we moved
into town to take care of granny when gramps died on Christmas Eve of 1949.Classmates
always asking why my last name was different from my “mom and day’ and having to explain that they were my aunt
and uncle since I was a ward of the court.I never thought that those days
had an impact on me until I was about fifty and realizing that my life was not and never had been like that of others since
it seemed as those I was always running then discovering that I was running from myself, but no matter where I went there
I was.Finally making peace with me with no more running while learning I
wasn’t that bad of a person after all and that I actually liked me.I
finally answered the call to ministry finding that I had a ministry to those like myself not to a large congregation but to
individuals as I run across them to encourage them to follow that call. I learned that though all are called
only a few find the courage to answer the call. Spirit
goes by many names by many people which doesn’t change the wonder and magnificence as we get to better know the miracle
of our being the children of Spirit.Learning how much we are loved and appreciated
by this wonder called Spirit. I am amazed every day that the more I show my love for
Spirit, it is reflected back to me as I am daily grateful, thankful and appreciative.As
I forgive others I find a way to forgive myself. As I give into my partner’s emotional bank I find
my own overflowing with love and appreciation.By Loving Myself it is returned
in so many wonderful ways. I am blessed with children and a grandchild that love me as does my partner.Of all things I have done I believe that learning to love myself was the hardest but has brought
many rewards as it makes it easier to live within my own skin. I can look in the mirror and appreciate
what a good person is looking back at me. Now when I mess up I can look in the mirror and say I love you
Isaac anyway.There are times I sit down to write and wonder what gives me
the right to sound off as I do and Spirit says I do as I sit there and do my writing. So for those that
wonder where My authority comes from it comes from on high or perhaps I should say it comes from with in.Remember I love and believe in you.

Human to Spirit with other ramblings
Human to Spirit with other ramblings
Most people think that we are always human which while it is true we retain our human form as we move through
life from the baby us to the mature senior us. While we maintain the human
form I believe that the longer we are here we move from humanity into Spirit while still being in this dimension.
This could possibly explain Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Spirit has taken them home while allowing them to remain in their human form.I know that there are times I am somewhere else and really resent being brought back here as
much as I love my partner and my children for where I was is so beautiful, calm and peaceful.I love to be with my companion, spouse and partner conversing learning and possibly teaching a little also.
To be as old as I am it is amazing what I do not know of course if we do not we do not know that we do not know.Things are not always what they appear for it appears the markets are crashing, countries are
falling apart as debris falls from the sky. Life really is no different than it has been. The secret to having a stronger economy is for people wealth and poor alike to begin to loosen
their pocketbook and begin to spend even if it is an extra dollar a day put back into the economy. Since
there are over seven billion people in the world today that would be over seven billion dollars put into the world’s
economy to assist in jump starting the economy.Of course there is another
question I have which is our economy has always been a war time economy to the point that when things get bad we find a war
somewhere there by having jobs in the military and industrial complexes to replace all of the materials used up in the conflict
where are all of those jobs now? Traditionally when things
get rough in the commercial section then government usually works on the infrastructure which is needed at this time as we
are out growing what we have. Human to Spirit yes that is what is happening.
Slowly but surely these eyes are opening to Spirit as we begin to leave this world behind.I am in this world but not of this world as that old gospel says I am a wanderer just a passing through for
this world is not my home.It is nice to be able to just wander in my thoughts.
Sit back close my eyes and be with anyone I choose when and if I choose… to just fly over the landscape or hover like
a fly on the wall listening and observing whatever I choose to do. Can I, do I or is it just my imagination…well
does it matter for it entertains me as well as my TV does.All things are
created in imagination before they are ever seen in the physical. I live in my world and occasionally invite
others in to share it with me. Yes, I am crazy as a loon but then looking at the news I seem to fit in
very well with all of the other loonies.I am happy in my world of course
I am probably in the middle of a high period now which is ok as I live for the highs. My system gives me
the best natural highs I have ever known without any stimulant other than diet Coke. The best thing that has ever happen to me out side of my sweetie is Personal Responsibility,
cause and effect which basically is what goes around comes around. What I do for others will be done unto
me and done multiplied unto me. Once I took responsibility
for the things I had done and were doing realizing that every thought, word and action was in fact a prayer which according
to it’s polarity of being positive or negative draws to me all that I receive.What is so awesome is that now I know that I have the choice to view things as positive or negative and as
I view and name them that is what they are to me.I have also learned that
the longest journey we ever attempt is the one from the head to the heart.I
have so much information that I am processing that it doesn’t get to the heart as rapidly as I would like it to.As long as it is only head knowledge it does me little good for only as it is assimilated into
the heart and cells does it become useable.I am attempting to learn to bring
things into my heart and cells first which requires a huge amount of trust in Spirit that only that which is good for me will
be allowed in.Mind is not only in the head and brain for it is in fact in
every cell in our body and in each of our other bodies: ethereal, spiritual, emotional as well as physical. There
are some philosophies that recognize several other bodies as well.Being
an esoteric allows me to bring in to my philosophy whatever works for me. No longer do I have to do something
because some says I should do that for I no longer should on myself or at least I make every attempt not to do so.
I find that there is no good magic just as there is no bad or evil
magic for we are the magic. As we choose to use it is what it is. The magic is only
energy that we manipulate or not. Life is or not. We live or we do not.When I release others to be who they are without requiring them to have my approval is probably
the most freeing thing I have ever done for if I do not need to approve of you it frees me to be who I am without seeking
your approval. Although I do find it makes it easier to move through society if all is stuffed in and zipped
up.Never thought I could write a thousand plus words and not say anything,
must be getting ready to run for election…well they say one of my favorite presidents was in dementia or early stages
Alzheimer’s when elect to his second term.Well, it’s been fun,
entertaining for me as well as passing an hour or so. Know
that as always I love and believe in you with harm to none, good for all as we accept this or something better into our lives.Love and Blessings,Pastor Isaac

Security Today
Security Today
In today’s society everyone appears to be focused on all their fears. Fear of this, fear
of that when all there is to fear is fear itself.
F>E>A>R= False Evidence Appearing Real.
In this world of illusion the only thing we have to
go on is our own perception and beliefs for truly it is as we believe it too be.Those that attacked us in 2001 really never have to do anything again for at the rate we are going
we shall be bankrupt providing security like in New York for the upcoming world leader’s conference with one hundred
thirty seven world leaders scheduled to be in attendance.
Plots, plots, plots and more plots going around. Conspiracy nuts and I have been called one more
than once in the past are having a blast with this one.I
enjoy a good mystery although many of the times I have the odoriferous one pegged early on in the book or show.
Yes, life is interesting the older one becomes.
I spend much time alone at least eight to ten hours a day, the dogs and I, which to tell the truth I enjoy with a little
soft Zen or soft classical music on the Serrius XM stations once in the while I rock out with classic golden hits of the fifties
and sixties sometimes regressing to the forties. Have to admit that for thirty seconds or so I can still
cut a rug (that is dance for those under fifty) Security
is where we find it. It doesn’t matter how many security or body guards one may have if someone wants
you they will get you.From the moment one becomes aware
of Spirit in their life then their true security begins. Once we make peace with ourselves, the world around
us as well as the world within us do we begin to find true security. Whenever I am up tight, upset even not feeling good my dogs are by my side
for as I am upset they are upset as I am their security if I should worry or they feel my world is threaten then that tension
goes out to all around me.I discovered many years ago
that I could change the chemistry and atmosphere of a room merely by walking in. What a shock to discover
the latent power of my own charisma. It
was many years before I learned to control and make my shields strong enough that only those truly perceptive or attuned to
me would pick up on my energy unless I wanted them to. In
one of the schools or classes I attended we were to walk through a mall invisably unnoticed while at another time to walk
truly using our energy only to make a clear path ahead for us. It all goes back to the only security one has is that which lie within themselves. WE are the
magic, the security, the energy. The source or force within our lives. While we are not THE SOURCE we are the source. While not being THE FORCE,
THE MAGIC, THE SECURITY, THE ENERGY we are the, the magic, the security, , the source or force within our lives.
I cannot be your security or you mine. We may
provide for one another, yet we are not the other’s security. If we were to lose one another we would
survive for that is what we do.
Although it is
possible for one to miss the other so much (which is a choice) that it is possible to grieve one’s
self into a grave. There again do
we find the Security within ourselves or do we allow our pity party to get the best of us.
Families are torn apart all of the time for one or both parties having allowed someone
else to control their feelings to the point they carry anger, ‘hurt’, painful emotions around while doing the
boomerang with the words, thoughts and actions that keep it all going back and forth, back and forth never ending, instead
of giving it to Spirit, our guides, angels and universal heavenly beings to work out for the good of all with harm to none.
With all of this or something better.
We must love
all people, we do not have to dine or commune with them. We can love them from afar.
Anyone negative in our life, turn them over to our Spiritual community while invisible
it is more powerful with more good than we can ever have. Sometimes they are moved away from us or we from
them. AS long as we seek a negative free environment we shall find it. Be cautious though
for sometimes it means becoming a hermit to find it. The secret is learning to be in the world but not
OF the world. I truly believe that as we move through life we become more and more Spiritual until there
is little if any humanity left. Spirit on Earth awaiting our chariot or elevator.
Forgiveness is a daily project, starting with self, then moving on outwards to others.
Forgiveness as Charity begins at home for as we forgive ourselves it opens the door for forgiveness from others.
We need never face anyone to give or receive forgiveness
we need only go to our prayers or meditations to give or receive forgiveness for we are connected one to another to all of
life everywhere on this planet and all others wherever they may be.
Forgiveness is never for the other person for they must find their own within themselves as we must.
Revenge, never, ever gave anyone lasting relief nor does having the last word as
I do with my sweetie for it may be yes dear or no dear but I most always have the law (Freudian slip) last word.
Security which is what most ladies and people want is not an outward thing.
Take Mr. WB among the world’s wealthiest men still living in his original home he first bought many years ago
as a young married man. With all of that money, ‘security’ if you will, is it possible he still
isn’t secure enough to find another home or is he truly comfortable where he is. None of our business really just inquiring minds want to know.
Security is an inside job for only we can make ourselves secure by having faith that
no matter what Spirit has our back for under all of the brown, slimy, gooey, smelly stuff there has to be a pony somewhere.When we pray or meditate as we send our thoughts out into the cosmos let us always
end with… this or something better with good for all and harm to none as I do now with love and honor in my belief
in YOU.

Hurting from someone else's action
Hurting from someone else’s actions
What
I have to say on this subject will totally upset some people while others that get it will
understand.
To start with no one is responsible for another’s
feelings.
Are we then to just blast them with our thoughts on a matter.
Well, our first responsibility is to be true to ourselves. We can lovingly change the subject
unless they keep on in their negative poor me or whatever pity mode they may be in. Whatever is done should
be done in the most loving manner possible as we attempt to get over the message that it is never the other person it is always
us.
If this person is in my face wanting me to lower into their emotional
cesspool then excuse me no. No car was ever pulled out of the mud by the tow truck driving into it unless
it too was anchored by another.So too we must be anchored in Spirit as we
attempt in love to give someone help. It is easy however for when someone is hurting to hear
nothing but what they choose to hear. If it isn’t what they want to hear then they allow their ‘feelings
to be hurt’.
Anytime I allow my feelings to be hurt is when someone
makes a statement that throws me into fear and out of Spirit or they tell me something I know is true which I do not want
to face and work on because it is too scary and / or painful.If they tell
me something that I know to be untrue then there is no reason to be hurt or angry unless I am allowing my ego to take charge.
Only by acceptance of some thing can we make it ours for if we do not
accept it as ours we leave it in the others care then it is still theirs where it probably belongs.
If it is truth or something we want to work on then we take it on at which time it becomes ours.
A thing which is not seen nearly enough is personal responsibility for the
things we do as WE ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES When we mess up acknowledge it and move on. Sometimes
we have to apologize only please do not do as the little boy did when his mother made him apologize to
his teacher for calling her a bad name for he did apologize kinda when he said to her, ”I
am sorry you are a xxxxxxxxx.
But in all seriousness. Apologies
and forgiveness are seldom if ever for the other person for they have probably already forgotten it and/ or moved on and could
care less how we feel for it is not their responsibility to make us feel good which they cannot do anyway.
That is our job.
Anyone that is carrying a grudge or hatred
toward anyone is harming no one but them selves. Louise Hay, author, publisher, teacher, prior owner of
Hay House Publishing tells us in her book ‘You can heal your Life’ that she believes
that we choose our parents prior to our coming in as part of our learning healing process.For there are out there wounded spirits that still require healing. Just because we go into
the next life does not mean we are healed. It only means we have another chance the next time around so
that hopefully we remember earlier who and what we are.
Carrying and
holding on to hurts which Louise Hay and myself as well as well as most of the so called enlighten community believe leads
to disease. Look at many of those critically ill and there are things and
people in their life they never forgave and it just ate them alive.
How
many times have you heard someone say “that just eats me alive” or that just eats me up’ or” that
just makes me ill”.
Life should be about seeing the good around
us for if we aren’t seeing the good then that means we are drawing the other to us by always focusing on it.
Sometimes we want to please someone so badly to make them happy so our life will be better we
forget to just love them and by so doing we allow ourselves to be sucked into their negativity.WE love and care for them as we want the best for them but as ministers and yes loved ones we have to stay
out of the pit so we can assist. No one ever pulled another out by climbing to the pit for the best that can happen in that
instance is that we allow then the opportunity to get out while being sucked in ourselves so then truly the only thing we
can do is call on Spirit’s help which should have been our first step anyway.Taking
on another’s hurting is only a temporary cure for them. Then if we do not release it we are infected
with it also.However, that is never the other person’s problem
for you chose to take it from them.Two or more people can choose to settle
their differences no matter what they may be if they choose to stop acting like little children fighting over a lemon lollypop
(OMG I AM on a 1250 calorie diet and that sounds so good…Lollypop that is)Choice is all it takes to live happily.That and change our
thoughts to change our life.No matter where we may be it is our choice to
stay there or move on.My choice is to Love and Believe in YOU.
Rev Isaac
PS At times I feel like the
one eyed man in the land of the blind. I am still praying for full vision which may only come when the
transition occurs.

Fight or Flight
Fight or Flight or What goes around comes around
For many years I was a runner. Running from this, running from
that. Mostly running from Spirit or God as I knew my higher power in those days. Hey,
I was sixteen for goodness sakes.
Running from
all confrontations usually after making everyone mad and or screwing up in some fashion or another.
From 1961 until the mid-nineties I ran. When things got too rough
then I would run back to the fundamentalist church for that was all I knew. Then when things settled down
and begin to look good then I would slide away.
Then
came a time of no more running so instead of fleeing or being in flight I began to fight. Oh, not physically
for I have always been a lover not a physical fighter.
That
little two year old boy that was left in the sandy Texas front yard as he watched his mother being taken
away in that funny white coats by the BIG white coated men in the big long car. As he sat there wondering
when, then if she was coming back. She
never did, when however long it was, my aunt came and got me. Could have been hours or maybe minutes, what
is time to a two year old, although it has always seemed to be a very long time. Now, when things happen and it is usually with those that I love tremendously that
two year old appears in a temper tantrum.
I use
to not know what was happening, now Spirit after much meditating, has shown me that little boy requires healing and being
let known that he is safe now.
I do have the tools
to work with this as many of you do. I am doing my forgiveness work beginning always as we must do with
ourself then extending it to all of those in the past, present and future harmed or hurt whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In the past I have heard way too many people say Isaac
I love you, I just cannot live with you.
My prayer
is that this is in the past. Even
someone that knows Spirit and is in some form of enlightenment knows Fear, especially the fear of abandonment and rejection.
Remember Peter and the disciples when they out
of fear rejected and abandoned Jesus the Christ and Teacher for they felt he had abondoned an rejected them. It
may have only been for a short time and then they became his strongest advocates.
It truly is not what we have done in the past, for now it is what have we done for them now.
However, what goes around comes around.We all
have an emotional bank that we feed into. Our friends, partners and spouses also have an emotional bank
which we are always making deposits and withdrawals. When things happen we have to have faith that we have put enough deposits in to cover our withdrawals.
The problem is that at times our one time withdrawal is more than we have put in.
So may we have faith that our accounts are full and overflowing to cover all withdrawals
small and LARGE.There are those of us myself included
that spend a lot of time attempting to pull the twigs from the eyes of others that we look over the beam in our own eyes.
There are those in our society that make so much money
in their professions that they cannot understand how others haven’t provide for their own retirement or being invalid.
We must remember that no matter where we are
we made the choice to be here whether consciously or subliminally. We may have allowed our choices to be
made by someone else; however we always have to agree with those choices for them to have happened.This leads us to consequences. Many if not the majority very seldom
consider the consequences of our actions. If our choices have led to responsibilities that are truly our
own responsibilities then our actions must be to see that those responsibilities are taken care of especially if they include
care of the young or the elderly or the incapacitated.
Yes, we must be true to ourselves as Bill Shakespeare once told me in another time and place. Being
true to ourselves many times is allowing ourselves to grow though the seemingly impossible times for truly nothing is sent
our way which we cannot handle as long as we do not get in the poor me, pity, victim mode. We all do to
a certain extent for it is up to us to control keeping it to a minimum until we have removed it from our mode of being.
As for me in my meditations I must bring my inner
child out to allow my angelic beings, guides, and teachers spiritually and physically to minister to and heal this wounded
child of my past and bring it into my world of today as a fully healed and mature person.
Teachers, Counselors, Ministers are all human even if we are more Spiritual than
human which means that humanity must grow until it is no more and all that remains is Spiritual.
So my friends, those that know and love me and those do not know me and love me anyway
and even to those that know me and do not love me I come to the end of this piece. Being well aware of
who and what I am asking continued forgiveness and unconditional love to all, any of whom past or present I may have harmed
or hurt in any manner intentionally or unintentionally as I forgive myself for any hurt or harm I may have
done intentionally or unintentionally all of this or something better with harm to none and good for all.
I love and believe in each and every one of you as I do in myself.
Blessings,
Rev.

Buying and Being American
Buying and Being American
Yesterday
we forwarded to you the email about buying American and since then I heard Trace Adkins on Sirius XM radio that he was buying
American on all of his websites and personal items.
Buying American
is very important for by this way we can strengthen our own economy also put people here back to work and help to lessen our
indebtedness to China and other countries.
But even more important
than buying American is to be American to be proud of who we are and stand up and say I am an American.
Being an American depends not on color for I care not if you are white, black, purple, brown
or yellow as long as you embrace our country and our way of life.
Your
religion does not matter as long as you believe in our country and our flag.
If
you have come to our country from somewhere else no matter how you got here I salute you. It takes a brave person
to leave what they know to embark for somewhere that they do not know.
What
I ask is once you get here is to become an American not a this American or that American but an American.
We use to be known as the great melting pot of the world for when one came here they left behind
what they left behind and became Americans
.I ask no one to forget
their heritage or traditions all I ask is that you become an American in mind, body and soul.
There are people in this country that have been here for years and still do not speak English.
When I was in the first grade there were with me five Hispanic children that came to school
unable to speak a word of English however by midterm all of them without exception were speaking and writing English well
enough to be making A’s in all subjects. One of them Roberto that insisted upon being called
Robert went from the first grade all the way to finishing high school without a single absence and making a Straight A for
the entire 12 years of school. This was an American that knew
or learned how to assimilate into the country his parents chose to bring him to.
It
is one thing to provide translators for visitors to our country however to have to pay for translators for citizens that have
been here for years and still cannot speak the language of the country they chose to come to IMHO says to me there is something
terribly wrong
.I tend to live an apple pan dowdy Pollyanna life or
as some would say in my own world and I do for I believe ALL things work together for good to those that are called according
to His purpose.
Having said that when I emerge from my world and look
at the ‘real world’ I cannot wait to go back to Isaac land.This
‘real world’ of me first and screw you just hurts me to see yet I know that in my own way I have help to create
what I see. Yes, I voted but no I didn’t work to see
that the person I thought was best was elected. This last election we voted for a Gentleman named Van Tran whom
we thought was the best for the position he was running for.
Although outside of placing a sign in
front of our house we did nothing else to assist him and yes he lost.
Also, out of my control was and is the fact that we send our best and brightest off to be killed
in some senseless battle far from home. If it was up to me I would go back to the system of offering military
service to those that break the law for minor offenses, not murder or rape, in order to give them a chance to redeem themselves
in an honorable way. It would help to take the load off of our prison system as well as give us back some of
our ‘lost’ citizens.
If history has shown us anything it
is that every civilization was brought down by this very thing for in the long run the only leaders they had left were gutless,
weak, cowards that were all second best to those that had gone and died for their countries.Our leaders are weak of character and intelligence. Not to say they are not crafty conniving individuals
that have their own agendas and not that of their constituents.
WE
have leaders that have no plan and no idea of doing anything besides tearing down what is with no plan or idea how to replace
what they are tearing down
.For myself and mine we are buying from
this point forth American and as for me I am beginning a period of prayer to become the prayer warrior I need to be for this
point in time and ask that all of you join me in buying and being American as well as joining in prayer for this the greatest
nation that has ever been. Also let us pray that the oil discovery in the western United States is used to bring
our economy back to where it should be. If everyone found an
extra twenty dollars to spend each week that would go a long way to bringing us back. Get the money circulating
again.
Know that I love and believe in each and every one of you as
well as this wonderful country that we are privileged to live in.
Also, I ask that you circulate this to your own list. Spirit loves us but will only help us
if we help ourselves.

Who Am I
Who am I
A question that probably
everyone asks of themselves sometimes or maybe many times in their life. As
you may or may not have noticed it has been a while since I have posted to my blog. Some of you may or
may not be wondering why. I am at place in my life where I am asking the
question who am I to be dispensing these bits of “wisdom” if that is what they are? Then I ask myself, why not?
Why not, indeed? I am sharing from a life of sixty-eight almost nine years that has not been traditional by any
means. From a childhood ministry to a prison in the swamps to walking the line between good and evil and
more times than not crossing over that line to receiving a thirty-eight caliber bullet in the chest dying on the table for
eleven minutes, to head on collisions, strokes, heart attacks to, enlightenment?
All
of these things and more I have seen in my life. The high times, the low times, the joys, the heart breaks.The one thing I learned through all of this is that “This too shall pass”.
To always get back up no matter how hard of a fall we take as long as we
get back up we are never defeated.
Then I discovered that I am never
alone. Whether it is call Spirit, Jesus, Holy Ghost, guide, teacher, angel. Whatever one
choses to call that which walks with us we are never alone. I have
learned that in times of trouble all I need do is say help me and that soothing presence is there to sooth me and assist me
in whatever I may need. Lost keys, sickness, heart, body or mind to be healed Spirit
is there to assist me in the work. Spirit never does the work that is what I have to do, however Spirit
is always there to assist in making It so much easier.
I write first
of all because I truly enjoy it and yes it is quiet the ego booster to know that hundreds of people read my thoughts.
I write too because it is my thought that in this way I can give back a
small portion of what I have received. I write so that possibly someone may not have to go through what
I have gone through.
Napoleon Hill said it well to Think.
I believe not only to get ‘rich’ but to live. The thing is young people are taught to
memorize not to think for most people only react to a situation not act to it or think about it.
The thing to remember that nothing is anything until we label it for until we label it the situation
is just that a situation or just is. The moment we label it then it becomes something whether small or large important
or not it now IS whatever we have labeled it as. It is now an event
.I am striving in my life to get to the point that when something happens I can step back and
say now that is interesting and think about it prior to labeling or not labeling.
I am studying the Silva method and have just ordered the Third Course to take. I am working
on developing a more ordered and discipline mind for it is my belief that a disciplined mind can accomplish anything it desires
to accomplish.
If only this were taught in schools or our children
learned of it at an earlier age. I think now what if I had had this knowledge when I was much younger how
much pain would I have avoided not only to myself but those that loved me and that I loved.
As they say too soon old too late wise. I do not mean that to be a negative statement just
a statement of observation.
I have come to the frame of mind that negative
is only a state of mind as is positive for as we see it and believe it to be so it is.
What I have seen to be positive another may view as negative from their stand point. Just
because another sees something different does no mean that I have to adjust my view to match theirs for we are all entitled
to our point of view.
I have really gotten to the point where I choose
to be happy not right. Just because one believes themselves to be right does not mean they are.
Sometimes it is better to allow someone their illusions rather than destroying them.As I have said time and time again to me life is only belief and perception for as we believe and perceive
it to be so it is to us.
On that note let me say that I believe and perceive that I love and believe in each and every one of you.

People constantly amaze
People amaze me constantly
Communication
is so very important. One of my readers that has been so important in my healing and recovery a couple
of years ago asked to be removed for she felt in her opinion my writings were reflecting a sense of lack
which she did not want in her life. I can not and do not blame her
for her feelings I feel the same way..She said I was many times in my writings
that I did not know where the money was coming from to meet this or that which is a true statement on her part and on mine.
I never know where it is coming from the only thing I know is that
is coming is on its way as soon as I believe it to be so. I will be
given the opportunity to earn it or fit it into my budget or receive it as a gift as long as I leave my
options open. I have learned that with Spirit nothing is impossible
it is only when I perceive or think something is impossible. That
brings up another point all life is, is belief and perception for as I believe it to be so it is. The only
reality there is, is when someone can convince someone else that their viewpoint is valid. Take for instance
“the world is flat, or the earth is the center of the Universe or that so in so is a great person or leader and we have
to have them for president or dogcatcher or what ever. We all live
in our own sphere of reality or our own universe or world and as such are the ambassadors of those worlds.
My beliefs do not have to be yours or yours mine. It
is up to each of us to find those beliefs that enable us to function and survive within the worlds we choose to be in. No matter where we are in life we chose to be there. Maybe we didn’t
choose to be a single mom or dad however we did choose to put ourselves in that situation that lead to where we are now.The hardest thing I believe for me to take in when I began this study and life style is that
it is NEVER the other person, it is ALWAYS me for I am the only CONSTANT in my life. No matter where I
go, there I AM. When I stop attempting to fix the other person
and work on me then my life is so much better. I have been doing the
Silva Summer Masters Circle for a couple of months now and everyday things begin to fall into place as I take the time to
meditate for ten or fifteen minutes two or three times a day.For those of
you that have not heard of or been exposed to the Silva Life System or Method. It was developed by Jose’
Silva of Laredo, Texas over a fifty year period, originally developed to help his many children focus and concentrate to get
better grades in school. As he worked and studied it developed into his life’ passion, purpose and
work. Now almost six or seven decades later his children are
carrying on his work and dream of bringing this to the world to better assist all in their personal growth. It is not religious in nature those it is extremely Spiritual which as we all know it is all
there is. To perceive lack in another is to acknowledge that lack
in ourselves for whatever is seen in another can only be seen if it is within us for if it isn’t we would not know what
it was or be able to see it. This is my belief and perception. Life is only ever as good or as bad as we believe and perceive it to me. CHANGE OUR THOUGHTS CHANGE OUR LIFE. No one can do
it for us for this is the only thing we truly control is our thoughts.Right
now my thoughts, belief and perception is that I love and believe in YOU.

the Magical Art of Giving
The Magical Art of Giving
I believe
that America is the Country She is today because of the fact it is a giving country. I also believe it
would be stronger if it learned that Charity begins at home. If
only we were as good to our own people as we are to those of other countries. Now this not a political piece, no quite the contrary this is a piece on personal giving. Did you know that one of the most wealthiest retailers in the history of our country from the
time he started working gave fifty cents of every dollar, yes that is right fifty percent of all he made his entire life to
charity. His name was J.C. Penny. Any time I have
ever been in a really difficult spot I began giving of what I had. It may have been books, clothes, money
whatever I had at the time and always the magic worked. I have even
had someone stop my bus and give me a hundred dollars because God told them to do so. I have always been a giver and I have always been taken care of and gotten out of some pretty tight situations.
Right now my giving consists of the lessons I have learned over the years
as well as a free website with dozens if not hundreds of free books, articles, videos all of them there to be used.
Last month alone over a gig of material was downloaded from the site, all
free. I have for four years asked for donations, however
to date not one penny has been donated and that is ok, however I SEE from this point forward that donations will begin to
come in for that is what I am asking the Universe to do is to lay on the hearts of those that use the website to give for
as they give so it will be given unto them.I believe and see it happening
that the site is monetized here and down and will bring in a nice income for myself and Sandy as we begin to move into our
retirement. Any one that wishes to receive a blessing and a really good
feeling just feel free to send us a blessing at paypal for wisaac3rd@aol.com, W. ISAAC NORRIS 3RD the Angelic Messenger. You will be amazed at the good things that begin to come your way almost immediately. Right
now I AM sending blessings of Love to one and all and giving thanks in advance for your wonderful gifts for the scripture
tells us we have not for we asked not and we are asking as we are giving thanks appreciation and gratitude for all the good
coming our way as well as yours. Spirit is good but only as good as
we believe it to be and I believe it to be VERY GOOD will you believe with me. As you read this give thanks that you have the opportunity to do this
for as you do so will it be done unto you. If you close the door on us so it will be closed on you.
This is the law of the Universe. It is like the law of gravity we may not believe in it but if we
step off the balcony we will go down. Blessings
to all of your whether you give or not may you be as blessed as you may possibly be for what I wish for you is what I RECEIVE
for myself.
Blessings,
Rev.

Who I AM today
Who I am today
I as all of us are
have reached this place in life because of the choices and decisions we made earlier in life. Most of these
were made by us unconsciously for the simple reason we did not know any different or better.Seriously until my fifties I had no idea that I actually had the power to control my life and the events with
in it.I thought as most others do that what happened to me was totally out
of my control which was a huge fallacy on my part.As I have gotten older,
I have found out that every thought, word and action on my part creates my future for as I think, speak and act positive I
find a positive life unfolding as prior my thoughts were predominately negative always waiting for the next shoe to fall or
the next bad thing to happen.One of my mentors in my fifties Pastor Jeff
told me Isaac why don't you look for the next good thing to happen. Then I found the philosophy of positive
thinking and after almost twenty years in it my life is about as I have wanted it to be. A loving lady to love and be loved by, awesome children and grandchildren, a mission in life
to teach others what a life of positive living can be. Two wonderful
pets, Trouble ( I didn’t name him) a twelve year old doxy and Missy a huge one hundred twenty pound five year old American
standard golden Lab. We love one another and yes Trouble lives up to his name which proves to me how powerful
words are. To me he is Pepper, however to my partner that has had him all of these years he is still trouble
though she loves him tremendously and yes he loves to chew my Ugg slippers. Anyone got some of the old
high top Ugg house shoes lying around they aren’t using? I love mine even though
they are twenty years old dog chewed with holes in the sole. I
am seeing a new pair in my near future, anyone want to pray with me on this. Oh,
yes, on Positive living St Paul tells us in scripture to pray without ceasing which I could never figure out how to do prior
to learning that every thought, word and action of ours is a prayer and that we are always praying either positively or negatively.
If you want to see which way you are praying look at your life, what is
it. Are you happy, sad joyful or miserable?
CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Scripture also says
to be joyful in all things to give thanks, for today is the day the Lord hath made.I
love being me. With all of my heart I want to help others to find what I have been shown on how to live
life. We may not be able to control completely what happens to us,
however we can control completely how we react to it.Life is beautiful or
not depending on how we see it.Go a museum with beautiful art and see some
people enjoying it while others barely glance at it for beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Begin to live life consciously always aware of how we are thinking go by our emotions for if
we are happy we are thinking rightly, if we are sad or unhappy then our thoughts need to be uplifted for only we are in control
of our thoughts. No one can MAKE us do anything mentally without our
permission unless they drug us. Our thoughts are our kingdom for us to control. Do we choose to be happy or be right. Let the other person be right, so what
we know they are wrong although there is no right or wrong only belief and perception.
Which is another thought for another day. I am today
who I am because of thoughts I had twenty years ago and allowed to come to fruition. In the last twenty
years I have owned a Spiritual Gift and Book store, traveled to Europe seven times, Hawaii, twice, China, once Purto Vearta
once, flown on the Concord, cruised on the Queen Elizabeth Two, Been to Hurst Castle six times, had the nerve to get out of
a ladies vehicle a hundred miles from home because her negativity was more than I could handle for another minute, (Thank
you son for rescuing me) All of this in the last twenty years. Basically,
I paid for none of it, for it was all gifts.Now I AM seeing a desert retreat
center of which twenty acres are in the process of being acquired. Pray with me that this goes forward
and becomes a great teaching ground to assist others to learn as we are learning how to live life. We love and believe in you,
Blessings

Be Kind to your Children
Be Kind to your Children for they will choose your nursing home.
As we age we find ourselves more and more dependent on our Children for more and more things.
As we age many of us become angry that our bodies and minds are failing
us so we take it out on our caretakers that many times are the children we love so much. As this happens it is my prayer that our children remember how much we did for them. For
those of us that weren’t the best or most enlighten of parents may we hope our children have forgiven us of our failings
when they were young. Dealing with the elderly may not be the easiest
thing there is to do for many times they are living in fear of what is to come and have not made peace with what is to come.
One thing to remember is that as we deal with them is the way we shall be
dealt with when that time comes for us. Sometimes, we have to step
back for what we are seeing in front of us is a preview of what is to come for ourselves. As we act with kindness and patience then shall it be for us later. As we see that elderly family member we are seeing ourselves at a later time. That is still the mom, dad, grandparent that we always loved so much and did so much for us and now it is our
time to do for them. So they appear to be mean spirited and aggravating
to us what do we think we appear to them these young whippersnappers that we use to wipe their bottoms and blow their noses
are telling me to do what? Why I have forgotten more than they will ever know. All of this and more is running through the heads of those loved ones along with the fear of the coming day
or days. Many of us are left alone for hour after hour and then here
comes someone rushing in as if we are an imposition to them. Well maybe we are as they were to us.The thing is we have made a contract to care for them. No one forced us for
at the time it was a picnic getting some extra cash for part of the house that probably wouldn’t be used any time and
just looking in once in a while to be sure all is ok. Now, the end may or
may not be near and the pressure is piling up on us, the kids, the job, the husband all of the normal every day stuff and
grannie too, a sick grannie at that and a mean spirited one it appears. Well she thinks the same way. Patience and understanding returns patience and understanding. Anger brings anger back for as we give so do we receive. Look
and remember it is NEVER the other person it is ALWAYS us. We chose
to be where we are now deal with it or get out of it, however once we start running it is extremely hard
to stop. Face what is going on and GROW UP. Life is as good or as bad as we THINK it is. I
love and believe in YOU.
Blessings

the Love Get away
The Love Getaway
Every couple really
needs to find a way to get away by themselves just to rekindle the flame. No children, just get away to
remember why we are together in the first place.Remember that money is not
all there is. Money is only a way of keeping score and it really is no more than a symbol of energy
exchanged.Love is all there is, there is nothing but love unless one chooses
not to see it and focuses on all of the negative.WE forget that it is not
the other person that requires work, it is us.For those of us with young
children they feed on our energy for what we are they shall be. Show me a young ladies mom and I will know
who she will be more than likely be.For those couples that are interested
in marriage encounter week-ends the Catholic Church offers several different types as well as many of the other religious
and nonreligious organizations out there.Do the homework to find them.
Also remember that no matter where we are in life we brought ourselves
here so it is up to us to take ourselves to where we choose to be.For those
of us that may be a little lost, confused or just plain on the edge (YES, YOU) Silva Life Systems has one of the best non-religious
online and live seminars around to assist us in getting back on course. I have been in my own course for
several months taking their basic life accelerator course as well as the Silva Summer of Masters. It is
awesome taking everything I have learned over the past thirty years putting in in an organized course of study which for some
is a review and sharping of old tools while for others it is teaching new coping skills of how to receive and achieve everything
we can possibly conceive of. A way to bring our dreams to fruition. For some it may appear to be magical while to others it is very down to earth. Most
importantly it teaches us to focus as we learn to have a disciplined mind. A disciplined mind with Love
can accomplish anything, ANYTHING.If we want to know
what our inside life looks like just look around at our outside life. Those of us with children if we want
to know what we look like just check them out.Love is the secret and key
to it all. Starting with love for ourselves. It took me almost fifty years to learn
that I was worthy to be loved enough to love me.I was always equating sex
with love and trust that wasn’t it.A great exercise is that every
time I screw up I look in the mirror and tell myself that I love me anyway.Also another true key is forgiveness first for ourselves then for all others also gratitude, appreciation and
thankfulness for ALL things, past, present and future.Place the dream in
front of us, do the work and it will happen. Be cautious of what we wish for for we will get it.Blessings to all and remember I LOVE and believe in each and every one of us.Rev. Isaac

What a Week
What a WeekHappy Birthday America…Spent
the weekend in the high desert at Newberry Springs with Sandy’s Brother-in- Law her sister Kathy made her transition
the week before Sandy and I actually met. We had been talking on line and the telephone for almost a month as
she was with her sister in the final stages of her transition.So amazing
her sister and I share the same birthday, both made jewelry and so many things so similar. I know that if we had met we would
have been friends and living with Sandy as I am I feel I know her any way for she visits regularly and we have our talks.While in Newberry Springs we were privileged to able to see a slice of Americana that I really
enjoyed as we went to a pre 4th of July fireworks on Sunday night the 3rd. This was one of if not the best fireworks show I have ever seen in my sixty-eight years.
It lasted about 45 to fifty minutes. What is so so amazing
though was the fact it was completely community based, as it was paid for and put on by donations of money and time from the
community. It was a most fantastic display of Community Spirit I have witnessed in a long time.After leaving there Monday morning we drove over the Cajon pass to the Sierra Exit of the 15
to go back up into the mountains to one of our Favorite Camp grounds, Mountain Lakes, a private oasis in the mountains that
is beautiful. It was so green this year with such a wet winter. We also had a surprise Thunder Storm
that dropped an inch or so of rain on us during the night.It was really
nice, as we pulled in the afternoon of the 4th when most of those there for the Holiday had either left or were
on their way so we had our choice of premium camp spots.The
only thing and in a way it was nice for there was no cell phone service and when they shut down the café for the 4th
they evidently cut off the wifi as well which all in all made for a relaxing, enjoyable time.Tuesday morning we had a serendipity experience for as we were packing up almost ready to pull
out to come home. Darrell of Mayfield Detailers pulled up across the road to do the unit there, however, they
weren’t up yet so we got to talking about our rig’s roof which we thought might need some attention especially
after the storm of the night before so he checked it or us and sure enough the calking was cracking and it was a miracle that
we didn’t leak like a sieve. To make a long story shorter he and one of his guys completely washed the entire rig, cleaned
and conditioned the roof then calked it while finding our solar was unplugged so plugged that back up for us then gave us
four free washes for the next year while giving us a two hundred dollar discount.The
Angels are wonderful for we had been talking for six months that this needed to be done and there he was.Darrell and I shared a lot of background as he is a very Spiritual man also belonging to Andre’
Crouches Church and like myself was no angel as a younger man. This is a hard working man that is
now taking care of his mom providing jobs for young people as well as mentoring then.My
hat goes off to this fine man and thank you for entering our lives.I am
now awaiting my daughter to arrive in a few hours to pick me up to go see my Granddaughter play some Basketball in her summer
camp league.I am blessed among men. As Job was I am for the
life is much better in my latter days than it ever was in my younger days.Now
back to my Silva Studies.Love you all and believing in you for great things
to come.Look for the good for what we look for is what we find.Blessings,Isaac

the Runner
What a month OMG. A
Runner yes that was me from the time at sixteen I received the call to the ministry and it scare me so bad I never told a
soul for almost forty years.I ran from this, from that and the other but
mostly running from myself. The two things I could never run from were my children, which explains why I have
been in Southern CA for over twenty years now.From this break up that firing
that getting shot. It was such that the first time anyone called me by my first name it wasn’t long until
I was gone.My children were carried from one part of the country to another
they had probably six or seven schools for at the end of the school year usually show us in our converted school bus or travel
trailer headed for the next sunrise. Flea markets, fairs, carnivals. Getting a job has a hair stylist
here or there. Opening a salon or a parlor of some sort hair or whatever we went around the country. Doing Hair
in Harrah’s Tahoe, Fantastic Sams, Command Performance, Doodles, Hair-ber-dashers. This one and that one
round and round we went.Then Southern CA first with the Spirit Ships then
with the Fountain of Christ Ministries then the stroke in ’95 after being shot in the chest in ’87 with various
illness and sickness (mostly in the head. One thing after the other then
finally meeting my angel in Sandy and for a year have lived heaven.The last
few weeks have seen the world attempt to crash in for things from over twenty years ago have popped up old tickets old this
and old that which is could for it gives me the opportunity to clear up these things from the past.Have no idea how they will be paid for or taken care of just know they will it is not my job to know how it
is only my job to know the Universe will assist me in this as long as I do my part and face it with acceptance, appreciation
and thankfulness.The Universe says you talk it but do you believe it and
I do. I know that the Universe loves and takes care of me in all things, not just the little things, but all
things as well.To the Universe it is all small. In this as in all things I have to get quiet let the Universe (God) talk to me and not be afraid
to follow the leading of Spirit.I request prayer from all of you as I pray
for you.I love you and believe in you.Rev. Isaac

I AM Back
I AM Back
Please
forgive me my extended absence for I have missed you dearly.
After Sandy’s Moms near death
experience / my laptop dying / a good case of the flu I AM back.
Yes sitting at Sandy’s Desktop is just not the same as reclining in my trusty lazy boy
or whatever it is as the words flow from the depths of this incredible mind.
I am missing my laptop something fierce
it is as if an old friend has passed.
What happen you say?
Well first let
me say that Mom is home after our almost losing her twice.
once if she had not pressed her medical alert button and then because of a mistake by an ER
nurse at a major hospital.
Thanks
to Christy her grand daughter a RN herself that notice a mainline not in properly as she was circling leaving
us. They found it in time to literally save her life and bring her back for she has a no resuscitate order.
She is home now for she came home Friday weak with hospice
care, Christy and John her and John her husband both nurses caring for her. WE are scheduled to go see
her today.
I may not go due
to the fact of my still having symptoms of the flu.
I am feeling somewhat better, still have a bit of congestion in my chest.
Remember
a while ago I requested the Universe allow me the opportunity to take a Silva Course well I found an offer from Silva right
after that allowing a payment program that I was able to do. It is amazing for it allows anyone with any belief system or
religious belief to work on training and disciplining their mind.
I personally believe that a trained disciplined mind can accomplish anything they choose.
I am working on it as I have the opportunity.
AS for my second best friend my laptop. I bought Windows seven from my favorite retailer in December
as my Christmas present to myself,
Well after using it for five months I began getting the message that it was not a genuine Microsoft product which
I ignored as I thought it was as I had bought, loaded it and registered it.
After thirty days of warning my laptop crashed with no OS and non could be loaded to it, so
I got a new hard drive, bought the genuine Microsoft program and still no luck. Hve to wait until my next
check next month to see about getting it fixed or maybe Spirit will send me a miracle al of this or something better with
good for all with harm to none.
I
will keep you all updated on the progress of Willie my laptop.
I wan to take this time to give thanks for all of the blessings in my life, past, present
and to come. I am so thankful, appreciative and grateful for all I have, have had and will have,
for ALL that has happened to me past, present and futurefor the good of all with harm to none. Life
is good.
I love and appreciate
all of you
Blessing,
Isaac
