One of the best day of my life from a spiritual, ministry and pragmatic perspective. Served in prayer and participated in the National Eucharistic Revival with so many friends and eternal family members.

Do you see the Kingdom of Jesus? It is hiding in plain view? You are invited. Be Baptized. Be Happy. Be Free.

For in Baptism you are making Jesus your King. And in receiving the Lord's Supper from within you become pliable to be a true Disciple. For with the Sacred Heart in you - that "bad" heart you were born with becomes renewed from within.

Yes - you are a good soul. But we were all born with some "taint" I believe in our literal hearts tissue and body in such a Quantum Mechanical way that it disorders the body, mind, psyche and spirit.

Yet once one receives the Holy Spirit being willing to and be Baptized if possible - the then Keeping of the Big Four Commandments among mankind and proactive living of the virtues - that builds greater strength to appreciate all of the Ten Commandments.

The last one is the stickler. Do not be "jealous" or hate anyone for a blessing you see in their life, but be happy. If one steals from you - the Lord is not saying - be happy for them that they got your stuff.

But evaluate and find your happiness in your spiritual identity which detaches you (so Fr. Mark Mary teaches) from the "things" of this world and protects us from being covetousness.

Want a Man to mimic. Meet Brother John. He has the Holy Spirit of God. He is tempered. He's an excellent communicator and is dutiful.

In four years of service as a Prayer volunteer, this man has been a true pivot point of God's meekness, strength under control and a life-giving source of encouragement.

Lord make us like Brother John in our service to others, our willingness to "be ready" and our faith that there is more than this life and world. While we are called to reflect happiness on the .

Praise God for pre-destined teams.

Over the years there has been an impression upon me that the most impactful ministry may be 13-19 (Teenagers) in small groups to large gatherings with the basic Biblical steps and an offer for Baptism.

By the twenties, most are formed and dramatic shifts which require more time are required. In the pre-accountability age, the mind has difficulties with abstract compared to analytical thinking.

Hence, Jesus/Yeshua likely reached out to the teenagers first gathering them one by one in public and then they with adult leaders established the Kingdom as the young people became actual Godly adults.

Very impactful age. Perhaps writing to that segment is God's heart and sharing publicly. Pray for me. Law is my profession and sword, but evangelism and baptism of youth is a passion.

Enjoyed playing the Piano for these precious ladies from Hanceville. Several days per week before or after morning prayer and a work block, I play the Piano for the Vets and Staff at the Bham VA.

It's good for objective community, giving back time (typically .5 hrs) and frankly my spiritual health. I do not know a key or cord, per se.

It seems many become too robotic when working from sheet music, so I really just pray through songs. No one has complained, perhaps out of being kind.

Not sure if it's because Vets are lonely, but several (at least 3) have cried. One lady came over and gave me $10 saying, "Thank you son..."

No joke about 1/3 or so of the men or women are in a wheel chair or have some prosthetic. Rarely do homeless Vets come inside, but there are usually 1 - 2 outside the parking deck.

One thing is for sure the VA is first class in how they treat the Vets in Birmingham. Trump cleaned a bunch of the delays up and Biden has seemed to maintain the standard.

These ladies live near the Shrine in Hanceville which is a global spiritual pilgrimage site. Peace be with you.

Over time one appreciates that being impactful means striving as a Populist. Do not seek to be "popular" which indicates shallow, broad approval. But be on people's prayer and hate list. For that is the true definition of a revolutionary populist, as was the Lord Jesus.

For the "Weaponizing of children against dads" in litigation, psychological abuse and defaming - I forgive you! and listening to the Black Radio Network has been invigorating.

In the Power of the Holy Spirit - it will be a GOOD WEEK!

"Have you received the Holy Spirit?" It is God's will to fill your lungs, soul and mind with new power. Call upon the Lord and be filled with strength and 'holy restrain'!

ACTS 19:1-8

1While Apol'los was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, we have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." 3And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism." 4And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus." 5On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7There were about twelve of them in all. 8And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, arguing and pleading about the kingdom of God;
