SPECTACULAR EARLY CHRISTIAN MOSAIC~The 1,600 Y.O. Be’er Shema (Birsama) Mosaic

A spectacular 1,600-year-old mosaic, one of the most impressive ever discovered in southern Israel, was unveiled to the public in the Negev >>

The Be’er Shema (Birsama) mosaic – one of the most impressive mosaics discovered in the south of the country – has for the first time been made accessible and open to the public, in the Merhavim Regional Council complex, located in the western Negev. The approximately 1,600-year-old colorful mosaic presents 55 medallions decorated with hunting scenes, animals and scenes of everyday life. Over the past few months it underwent conservation by the Israel Antiquities Authority,  and was transferred to the council’s offices for display. This was executed in the context of the "Antiquities Right at Home" project of the Israeli Ministry of Heritage and the Israel Antiquities Authority.

The mosaic presentation was inaugurated on Sunday (25.05), in the presence of Heritage Minister Mk Amichai Eliyahu, Merhavim Regional Council Head Shai Hajaj, and Israel Antiquities Authority Director Eli Escusido. The ceremony was held with students from area schools and with neighboring community members, who enjoyed the vibrant happening of archaeological activities, creativity booths and planting new seedlings out in nature.

The mosaic was discovered in 1990 in agricultural areas south of Kibbutz Urim, At the margins of Khirbat Be'er Shema. Following this, an archaeological excavation was conducted by Dan Gazit and Shaike Lender on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority. Afterwards it was covered to protect it intact. “This is a unique mosaic from the Byzantine period (324-638 CE),” says Shaike Lender.

Archaeological excavation was conducted by Shaike Lender.

“It presents 55 richly detailed medallions – with mythological characters, baskets of fruit, exotic animals, scenes from everyday life, hunting scenes and more. The mosaic was clearly made by the hand of a true artist. It is comprised of small mosaic stones in a variety of colors, combined with glass and pottery to infuse it with variety.”

The mosaic was a feature within a large monastery, one which earned its sustenance by wine production. The excavation of the complex uncovered a large winepress and warehouses with storage jugs, which were produced on site. “It seems that the ancient road upon which this settlement was sited served as a kind of border between the desert and the inhabited part of the country – during the Byzantine period, and perhaps serving as such even earlier, during the Roman period. This road is actually the ancient Nabataean-Roman spice trail through the desert – at this point, on the axis connecting Halutza in the Negev with the port of Gaza. The excavation showed that this was indeed a large settlement, on the order of several hundred dunams, that served travelers needing a safe place to spend the night, offering protection from potential attacks by raiders from the local Bedouin tribes.”

“Over the ensuing years since its discovery, the mosaic floor’s state of conservation deteriorated. Given this situation, actions were taken. It was re-exposed, treated and strengthened, and transferred from its original exposed location to the Merhavim Council's enclosed compound. Now, it is fully protected from agricultural and development work, and at long last, it is presented to the public to appreciate,” said Ami Shahar, Conservation Department Head at the Israel Antiquities Authority. “Upon completion of our expert team’s intensive efforts, the results enable the public to view and appreciate a spectacular 1,600-year-old work of art.”

According to Eli Escusido, Israel Antiquities Authority Director, “The event was held as part of the ‘Antiquities Right at Home’ project developed and managed by the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Israel Ministry of Heritage, which seeks to make the legacies of the past extant in urban areas to be accessible to the public. Especially in these days, it is of great importance to reveal historical gems in the Gaza Envelope region (Otef), such that they will be visitor attractions and increase traffic to this vital area. This new site will serve the public as an open archaeological garden. Explanatory signs, an access road and seating areas were integrated into the site. I now invite the public to enjoy and to form their own impressions of one of the most beautiful mosaics ever seen here in Israel’s South, here in the northwestern Negev."

Merhavim Regional Council Head Shay Hajaj said: “This beautiful mosaic, a living testimony to life that existed in the Negev some 1,500 years ago, will be preserved here and become a focal point for visits and learning—for tourists, students, and residents from across the country. It is another chapter in the story we are writing here in Merhavim—a story that connects past, present, and future.”

These floor rug mosaics are awesome!

And perfectly preserved 👍

In 1976, I had a chance to join an archaeological dig - I had submitted my papers in 1974 … but by the time it was approved, I was married with a baby: the chance had come and gone. It would have been a lot of fun - but nothing compared to the 44 years I enjoyed as a wife, mother & grandmother.

I love History coming alive 😉

And I love naysayers being shut down 😉

PAPYRUS P66

Papyrus 66: 

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_66#:~:text=%CE%B1%CF%81%CF%84%CE%B9%20(now).-,History,15%2D25%20lines%20per%20page.)

P66 IS THE OLDEST SURVING GOSPEL MANUSCRIPT TESTIMONY OF THE RESURRECTED CHRIST

According to the latest research, all of these gospels were written between AD 45 and 65.  The earliest surviving manuscripts of the gospels date to the second century. While Papyrus P52 is the earliest surviving New Testament manuscript fragment, Papyrus P66 (second or third century) is the earliest manuscript preserving a section that testifies to the resurrected Jesus (John 20:37-41). The "P" stands for "papyri," which are manuscripts written on papyrus, a reed-like plant used for writing in ancient times. The number following the "P" indicates the order in which the manuscript was registered, not its age.

John 20:37-41 - "Then saith He to Thomas, 'Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.' And Thomas answered and said unto him, 'My Lord and my God.' Yeshua saith unto him, 'Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.' And many other signs truly did Yeshua in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Yeshua is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."

Try as they will … the demonrat society cannot erase Biblical History: Yeshua IS real - He walked Earth, and rose from the dead. He IS coming back again to reign as King Supreme 👊

David Wilkerson Debates The Jesus People:  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeOb02XzlM0 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jj8_MZnixU)

Oh, man!

Watching this vid reminds me so much of the interactions with Holland and I when he's on a roll 🙄

Our verbal interactions usually will sound like the circular argument between Wilkerson (me) & Wise, and Hefner (Holland) 😤

He's getting better at engaging in convo's without antagonism - but the reactions to David Wilkerson's questions sounds very much like how my husband tries to justify his own - and his family's drug culture/religious activity 🤔

The 2 cannot coexist - Yeshua said, "No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other..." (Matthew 6:24)

I've stated many times that I was raised in a hippie environment.

I've also stated that I became a Christian - on my own, at age 8; my family did not know what to do with me after that. I made them uncomfortable … I wasn't vociferously preachy, but I did hang back from their activities and behaviors. I was different: I made them uncomfortable by not engaging.

Neither was I a perfect Christian: I was not spirit-filled until I was 21. From that moment forward, I walked a very narrow path.

My husband - the man I married in 1974, was not a Christian at all. He had some church related connections in his youth, because his grandmother took him to a few services. But he didn't get saved, water baptized, or spirit-filled until 1981; for him, it seemed to happen simultaneously. He is in Heaven now, with Yeshua, since December 14th, 2018.

My new husband, Holland, was raised in a religious environment - but it is a religious environment that does not have Yeshua at it's core. He knows about Him … but, he doesn't know Him. Holland's father and mother both went to a Bible College. His father was a preacher that hobnobbed with, and preached in the churches of John Hagee & John Osteen. His mother was an evangelist. Holland's father eventually abandoned his wife and children, to marry another woman: not a Christian behavior. His mother also remarried, and allowed her children to run wild, and engage in questionable activities without restraint … and too often with her acceptance and approval: not a Christian behavior. Holland was raised in a religious environment - not a Christian environment.

This lopsided {understanding} of Christianity runs through both sides of his family tree - but the redmill branch is by far the worst because they have brewed so long in the hippy-dippy religiosity that they have poison leaves sprouting from the familial limbs. No one from that familial gene pool should be preaching! I've heard his Uncle Bob preaching, and it's clear the man has no Biblical understanding or spiritual discernment. They all shun baptism by the Holy Spirit - which Yeshua clearly taught is a necessity for Christian maturity and actual ministry. The ministry is not for fame and fortune … the ministry is to spread the Gospel: the Word of God is not for sale! One cannot live a life of debauchery and every form of vice, and still consider themselves an ambassador for Christ!

I was raised a hippie, in a hippie environment. I came of age during the Jesus People Era. I read my 'One Way' Jesus People Bible for decades. But, I was never immersed into the lifestyle; that was my saving grace. MPO

I have asked Yeshua to help me understand my new husband and his family's wacky religious mindsets; and He is bringing to my attention these old Jesus People videos, to show me why Holland and I have such a gap between our understandings of Christianity.

I walk a very narrow, black & white path.

Holland, not so much. He doesn't share his faith, with family or friends. He walks a wide and rocky path. He needs the Ruach HaKo'desh reigning in - in Elohim's timing.

I just have to trust and obey; and know that it will happen.

MPO is that the Jesus People Era was the last Revival on Earth: the awareness of Yeshua and the need for His salvation was everywhere, as the Ruach HaKo'desh began His work in lives.

And, of course apostasy followed quickly: Lucifer knows his time is short - so he wasted no time in stirring up wickedness with the counterfeit toronto awakening, that plunged religious wishy-washy people into darkness and self-delusion. Salvation was replaced with self help. The Word preaching was replaced with new age guru's sporting dreadlocks and goatees, that shouted, "You don't need to bring your  Bibles with you - just listen to me!" Religious entertainment was booked that mocked Elohim's Holy Spirit with "a blue smurf". Spiritual prosperity was equated with faux gems and white feathers falling from mega church ceilings. Worshipful hymns were replaced with self-promoting concert-style atmospheres. Christian morals were replaced with pride banner swathed gatherings, and social accepted homosexual leadership in corrupt churches.

barak hussein obama was lucifer's tool to kick-start the reset countdown to the End of Days.

I, like other spiritually aware Christians care deeply about the lost, who are not aware that they are lost. But, my husband, right now, is my main concern during these Days. Ministry begins in the Home.

THIS DAY IN 2025; Ocean Park-WA

Today is my daughter's BD; 51 years

Holland asked if I wanted to call my daughter … and I gave an empathic "No." If she wants to reach out to me, I'm good with that - but she chose this silence by telling me she "isn't interested in building a bridge" between hearts; she chose to end all contact between us in 2020 & she forbids me to even talk to my grandchildren, so she can make the first move to right this situation: I'm done running after her for acknowledgment of my existence, or begging for space at her table.

Holland doesn't understand because his family feeds on major dysfunction: I chose otherwise. I do miss my daughter & grandchildren, but they will have to make the 1st move towards me; over the past 42 years, I've had all the rejection from my daughter, that I can stand. No contact any more, is her choice.

My choice to allow her, her choice, is not made out of meanness … it is made out of a will to live happily, joyfully, and FULLY the few years I have left to walk this Earth. She has to decide for herself if she will walk those years with me. If she will allow her children (oldest, 31 & youngest, 11 in a couple weeks), to have contact with me. Until she snaps out of her funk and gets real, I will respect her choice … and, she will always occupy a piece of my heart that is hers alone.

Earlier in the morning, we had driven into Ilwaco-WA; to check out the Saturday Market, there - but we didn't see anything that piqued our interest enough to pull over and stroll through the tent area.

Temperature today, in Ocean Park-WA  BRRRR!

On our way home from Ilwaco, we stopped at David's place in Long Beach, and had a brief chat with him, his son, and DIL. They were busy with property cleanup, so we didn't stay more than about 45 minutes. We were invited to a fireside get-together at dusk - and we considered it, as we turned Betsy towards home.

Being at the beach causes my thoughts to meander through past memories here: especially today.

2 important notations for Today …

I posted them on FB after we got back home.

The fella on the right with my wolf under his leg is the man who was responsible for my daughter's BD, today:

The fella on the left, with the rott, was our friend David Hargrove - he came into our lives in 1983, fresh from a motorcycle accident in Idaho: he had ridden with several {gangs}, but the ones we knew about were the Hell's Angels, the Bandito's, & the Gypsy Jokers - Bob knew several Gypsy Jokers before we married, so he and Dave got along well. I trusted him 100% around my children & grandchildren. He became a fast friend in 1983, and was a life-long friend until his death in 2014 … on this Day - my daughter's 40th BD, then (today, this year - is her 51st BD: how is that even possible! I do not feel that old 😉). He left Earth knowing that soon our family would be blessed with a new baby: a boy! that would arrive the end of June, that year; he was happy for us - I wished he could have stuck around to meet our new grandson. David died in Ilwaco-WA & his ash urn was buried on his property alongside Sandridge Road, in Long Beach-WA

My wolf, Precious, went ahead of David in the Fall of 2013.

My Husband Bob, followed David's departure, 4 years later in the Winter 2018.

This May 24th … when my new Husband Holland, & I, drove past that little house along Sandridge Road, I am missing them all 😔❣️

When I checked my FB Page a couple hours later, there were comments and a private message:

Holland is still taking prescribed antibiotics for the gash on his calf, and they make him drowsy - so, he slept for about 3 hours … got up, stumbled into the livingroom … and promptly fell back asleep in his recliner, for another 2 hours.

I shot a text to David, informing him that we'd be staying in for the night: we do want to visit - but right now, Holland's leg healing is more pressing.

Holland relaxing with a healing nap.

He woke up long enough to eat Supper.

Then he took a shower - and went back to bed.

I'm glad his body is finally getting the rest it needs to properly heal; thank the Lord ❤️

SOUL SINGING SOFTLY; Ocean Park-WA

1972 Christian Music, Love Song -  'Love Song' ~ Full Album: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66DlLkh6o4Q)

Both Holland & I need to lose weight. Serious weight loss.

The inhalers are the culprit; but until our healings come through 🙏, our lungs need them 😟

I woke up thinking the other day that the only way this would be possible was to stop eating for a few days - Holland apparently has the same inspiration, because as soon as the sleepy cobwebs were cleared from his thoughts, he said, "I'm thinking about going on a 72 hour Fast".

BINGO! 👍

Confirmation.

I readily agreed 😁

I chose Monday thru Wednesday … so, that is how I started off this week: and I did it. Holland didn't think I could - but, I have fasted before, and I knew I could do it. I honestly did not feel hungry during that entire length of time: when I set my mind to do something, it is s.e.t. 😉

Holland, because he is taking medications, needs to eat something light during his days, so the medications don't chew his stomach lining up: and that's okay - fasting can be personalized; and people fast for different reasons 👌

Weight loss is the main thrust for our fasting period.

But, I am also going to be seeking spiritual insights. I want continual peace in our home - and that will only occur when Yeshua reigns in our Home 🕊️

The main thing Holland keeps carping about is religion - we both have pretty strong opinions concerning what we believe. Personally I have come to the conclusion that Holland was literally born into a cultic religious atmosphere 👺, and never really had his own personal {come to Jesus moment}; every time he starts talking about the redmill religion 🤪, my conclusion 🧐 is reaffirmed anew.

Holland was raised in a familial family that read the Bible - and could quote Scripture like a scribe, but the way he was taught was lopsided … a weird Heinz 57 familial beliefs that runs through the family tree on both sides of the familial root stock, that believes they could pick and choose what was "inspired" & was was questionable; "backsliding" was common, and a ready excuse to do whatever - and let the chips fall where they will. There was no Biblical accountability. And because there was no actual relationship with Elohim, or concrete belief in Yeshua, disasters seriously eroded familial relationships, & sin led to deaths without the saving knowledge of eternal Life 😢

It is sad - fatally sad - when people live a religious life void of Yeshua. Grace does not overlook outright sin 😈👹

That was the way he has lived his life to date: he does not like hearing 🤬 that he is living apart from Elohim's grace.

His family still lives that way 😳🤔

I am not stretching the truth when I say that 95% of all of the arguments between Holland and I stem from Holland's twisted religiology.

I, on the other hand, "came to Jesus" in the Winter of 1964 while hearing a sermon in Grand Rapids-MN, on the love of God … and knew I wanted that: I gave my heart to Jesus right then and there; and was water baptized at Bible Summer Camp in the summer of 1965. I knew what I was doing - no one else in my family were Christians, so I was not influenced, coerced, or birthed into a religious home atmosphere. My salvation was purely the real deal.

I was the only Christian in my familial family. When I decided at 8 years old to get saved, baptized at 9 years old, and live the rest of my life as Yeshua's willing bondservant - and the Temple of the Ruach HaKo'desh.

I took what the Bible said to heart: it was the Word of Almighty God; unquestionable.

I still live this way.

I am not perfect by a long shot, and I am a continual work in progress - but I do not deviate from Truth ✝️ when it is brought to my attention by the Ruach HaKo'desh.

Most of our personal, & relationship issues, are based around Holland saying, "Well I don't agree with that - we'll agree to disagree." And me responding by saying, "Well, Holland, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not … facts are facts. Scripture is not arguable; what Elohim says is set in concrete - and if, as you claim, you are a Christian - then you have got to accept e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. Yeshua set forth as unquestionable; you can't just pick and choose to accept the things you're comfortable with - and disregard the things that make you uncomfortable; or things you don't understand." That makes him angry 😤 And he withdraws, ending the convo with a ticking cheek muscle.

Holland has a respect for Elohim & Yeshua; but he doesn't have a full understanding of either because he balks at getting spirit filled - he needs to be in control … and giving himself over to the full control of the Ruach HaKo'desh, frankly scares him - he doesn't want to look foolish. He truly believes that he can save himself, by himself; doing good works. Having met most of his family members, it's safe to state that he, like the rest of his familial family tree [leaves], have never really submitted to the Lordship of Yeshua - they know about Him … but, they don't intimately know Him. A spirit moves them - but not the Holy One.

Randy Stonehill - 'Counterfeit King' song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luCPgVjLojE

BUT, Yeshua & I, both, intend to get Holland into Heaven 🤝😉

This promise is a reminder that Elohim has the power to transform individuals and communities, offering the possibility of a new life in Him.

This Covenant promises a deeper relationship with God, where His Laws are not merely external … but internalized within the hearts of Believers.

The "stone heart" represents a heart hardened by sin and rebellion, impervious to Elohim's (Father God) grace.

The "flesh heart" signifies a heart that is sensitive, compassionate, and responsive to Yeshua's (Jesus) love.

The "new heart" symbolizes a radical shift in one's inner being, characterized by a renewed desire for Yeshua and a willingness to follow His ways.

The "new spirit" refers to the indwelling of Elohim's Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKo'desh), empowering believers to live a life pleasing to Him.

The baptism of the Ruach HaKo'desh is a core part of Elohim's Plan for spiritual restoration and renewal of Life; a promise that completes a full  transformation of the heart - a spiritual move from a state of sinful rebellion and self-centered hardness of obedience and love.

We will both woo his soul with a love song - and the Ruach HaKo'desh will be softly singing it 💗

SUICIDE TRUTHS

A TWISTING OF SCRIPTURE

This reel posted to FB really burned my hide, this morning 😤

It upsets me because someone, who doesn't understand the consequences of suicide - and the Biblically ignorant; will read it, and believe it 😔

This reel will lead to death. All the way around 💔

********************

NO!

No, no, NO!!!

This is the kind of CRAP vineyard teaches: it IS WRONG. The vineyard religion leads to death.

This verse was taken out of context 😡

Jonah was severely reprimanded by Elohim: Elohim's purpose and sovereignty over life are greater than any individual's desire or right to take their own life.

King Saul's suicide was directly related to demonic influences: his earlier disobedience and rejection of Elohim's Will in his life, led to demonic influences. Saul's repeated disobedience, including his refusal to follow Elohim's instructions, led to his rejection as king and the eventual loss of Elohim's favor - Saul's ego led him to suicide.

The Bible includes several accounts of suicide, such as those of Saul, Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23), and Judas - and highlight the negative consequences of sin and despair.

The Bible presents life as a gift from Elohim, and only Elohim has the authority to determine when life begins and ends (Psalm 139:13-16).

Suicide is seen as a rejection of Elohim's sovereignty and an act of self-determination over life, which belongs to Elohim (Job 12:10).

The commandment "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13), also includes a prohibition against self-murder = suicide; taking one's own life is a violation of this commandment.

YES … The Lord (Yeshua) IS CLOSE to those who are broken hearted, & in the depths of despair - BUT AS A HELPER TO CONTINUE LIVING, not as a helper to aid and accept suicide as a solution!

NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE do you see acceptance of suicide by Elohim. N.O.W.H.E.R.E. Suicide ALWAYS leads to eternal death; a total separation from Elohim.

NO!

The compassion experienced following suicide should BE FOR those remaining: immediate family members (spouse, children, grandchildren), familial family members (parents, grandparents, siblings), & friends. Compassion for the suicidal is useless - they are now beyond feeling: they are dead-dead. Forever. THAT is WHAT Scripture teaches.

CIRCLES: Ocean Park-WA

BAD COMPANY - 'Crazy Circles' Lyrics: 

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6446Zy3qVY)

FB has been running bac-to-back reels of Paul Rodgers songs - one of them was 'Crazy Circles', when he was with his band, 'Free'. I like Paul's singing style.

I've been thinking of the circular route Yeshua has been leading my Life, lately.

This morning, I woke up thinking of Melody Green; I used to have all of her husband, Keith Green's music to listen to: my daughter, & granddaughter Alyna, grew up listening to his music. When he died in 1982, Elohim actually gave me a vision of his plane wreck before I had heard of his death later that afternoon. Yes - I saw his wreck before the news was reported on TV, or reported to me by a friend while I was enjoying a hamburger in an uptown café, in Cathlamet-WA, with another friend.

Anyway; back to this morning …

I woke up thinking of Melody Green, so I decided to go online and see what came up. What was the Ruach HaKo'desh speaking to my heart this morning?

The first thing that came up was this 2-part-documentary, filmed in 2004: so, I watched it. What struck me was the 'First Love' theme running through it. 

I have listened to most of these musician's songs over the years.

Though I was saved at 8 years of age - I was raised a hippie.

I was introduced to 'Jesus People' at the Rose Parade Festival, in Portland-OR in 1971: my mother had remarried, and my stepfather took us to the festival. I came home with my 'One Way' Jesus People Bible. I took it to school with me, and read it faithfully; and wrote online Bible Studies, using it. By the time Holland & I met, it was pretty dog-eared. It was lost during the selling of my Heron Pointe home, and the setting up of our Road Gypsy shuffling; I hope whoever found it, kept it, and will be blessed by it's message.

My mother had been a beatnik, & later joined the hippie brigade: I had grown up listening to folk music; so, when I saw that Barry McGuire has become a Christian and had cut & was selling a Christian album, 'Bullfrogs & Butterflies' - I bought it for my kids. My niece tracked it down and bought it for her daughters to listen to, too :-)

I was introduced to 'Lamb' Messianic music, & '2nd Chapter of Acts' music in the 1979: Bob & I later fellowshipped exclusively with Messianic fellowships - eventually, meeting Joel Chernoff. For decades, the only music that played in our home and vehicles was 'Lamb' music. I also liked the 2nd Chapter of Acts music - it's not for everyone, but I like it: I had every album, cassette, and CD they ever put out - these two music groups played continually in our homes; my children & granddaughter grew up listening to them. I played their songs constantly, and intermediately, with Southren Gospel songs Bob liked, throughout the 14 days I stood death watch with Bob in OHSU, in Portland-OR. The music soothed … and it prepared us mentally for the trip beyond the clouds; to a First Love Life we could only imagine, that my husband would soon be experiencing, solo lobo.

The early Jesus People movement appealed to me - it still appeals to me. The new jesus culture vineyard movement is nothing at all like the original. Where the original movement highlighted rebirthing through the Ruach HaKo'desh, which led to Jesus-themed music, preaching, and lifestyle … the jesus culture movement is, in MHO, demonically inspired - and turns people from Yeshua, and towards selfish aims grounded in lust for fame, money, and a thirst for the occult; that is clearly being practiced in the vineyard churches, which have gone seriously astray and shucked their first love, for self-love.

I will attend a Calvary Chapel fellowship - but never a vineyard gathering. Calvary Chapel has separated themselves from the vineyard madness. Calvary Chapel fellowships still embrace their first love and cleave to Yeshua and the purity of Christianity: that does not mean they are perfect … it simply means that those in fellowship press forward towards the purity of the Faith.

First Love: A Historic Gathering | Part 1: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvOfr1XnzI&t=6002s) & First Love: A Historic Gathering | Part 2: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZK-6iT3KmA)

I have saints waiting for me in Heaven: a Father-in-Law; a close friend, saved just before he passed from this life to the next; my 1st Husband; a childhood friend, who recently went Home … and I intend that my childhood friend, who is like a big brother to me, & that my 2nd Husband, also be there with me. If this is the only ministry Elohim prepared for me - I'm okay with that. Crowds crowd me; I'm okay sharing and instilling First Love, with 1-on-1 ;-)
