VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Guest Speaker

... And Our Guest Speaker Today ...! 

... What Guest Speaker!?! I Am The Speaker Today, Elder Plainer! 

Well, Pastor Prop, I Guess You Will Be Listening Like The Rest Of Us Today To A Much Needed Reality Check! 

The Most Quoted Book In The Bible Amongst The Brethren Here In This Congregation Is "Pastor Said!" 

According To Settled Knowledge And Belief, That Book Is Of Spurious Antecedents And Is Known To Elevate Another Jesus Upon A Prop Of Another Gospel! This Stops Today! 

Brethren, Our Speaker For This Moment Neither Needs Nor Desires An Introduction To Inflate His Head Or His Ego! Please Welcome Bro. Misfit Greedy Adopted! 

Happy Sabbath, Brethren! I'm Glad To Be With You! 

We Are A Peculiar People, So In The World, And In The Church, I'm A Misfit, A Square Peg-Round Hole Misfit Because I Choose To Accept And Believe That The Bible Is Christ's Complete Word To His People And Is Not To Be Touched-Up, Enhanced, Or Picked Apart By Anyone: Almighty God Is He Who Alone Is Wise, And All-Knowing, And As Such Makes No Mistakes! 

Secondly, I Am Called Greedy Because When I Finish Praying, I Always Say "Lord, Bless Again!" 

Shouldn't We As Believers Go After Our God Who Said, In Black And White, "Ask, And Ye Shall Receive!?!" 

This Same God, The True And Living God, Also Said, "Prove Me!" 

Shouldn't We Be Able To Say Or Write In Our Little Books, "He Did It Again! Thank You, Lord Jesus!?!

MUCH MURMURING IS HEARD! 

Thirdly, My Surname, Adopted, Makes Me Humble, My Heart Glad, And Keeps My Hope For Heaven High! 

Suddenly, A Voice Was Heard Saying: 

"I Am Adopted! I Am Happy, But I Am Still An Outsider! What Makes You, Well, Special!?!" 

I'm Glad You Asked! 

You Are Earthly Adopted On White Paper Covered In Black Ink, Sealed By The Earthly Judge Representing Fallen Man's Government, Which Gave You Into A Family Which Offered You Finite Love From A Flawed Heart! 

I Am Adopted Into The Family Of God! 

My Certificate Of Adoption Is The Scarred Flesh Of Our Lord Jesus! The Ink Is His Innocent Blood! 

I Have The Holy Spirit As My Comforter, Teacher, And Guide! 

I Have Personal Bodyguards Excelling In Strength! 

My Place Now Being Prepared Will Be In A Mansion In The Father's House In Glory Land Where Love, Peace, And Light Dwell! 

Do You Know What The Best Gift Is That I Shall Receive For One Called Adopted!?! 

No!!! Please Tell Us!!! 

Well, Brethren, Have You Ever Heard Of Any Adopted Child Being Like His Adopters!?! 

I Am Going To Be Like Jesus Because I Will See Him As He Is! 

I Here And Now Say With King David: 

"As For Me, I Will Behold Your Face In Righteousness! I Will Be Satisfied When I Awake With Your Likeness!" 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Dare To Boldly, Unapologetically Love And Stick To The Good Book ... As Written! 

An Opinionated, Abbreviated Rendering Of The Word Does Not Lead You To Christ, Who Is The Only One Who Is The Door, The Entrance, To The Father's House! 

Hallelujah!!! 

Praise The Lord!!! 

AMEN!!! 

Pastor Prop Hastily Left Through The Side Door! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Shepherd!

John 10:14 KJV 

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

Glenda, Why Is Everyone Snickering At The New People!?! 

Wait Patiently, Oana, And All Will Be Revealed! 

A LITTLE BIT LATER ... 

Waaait! Did I Hear That Newbie Call Her ... Nahhhh ... Impossible!?! 

Nothing Is Wrong With Your Hearing, Oana! 

Lord, Make Peace! 

He Will, Dear Lady, He Will! 

Attention, Everyone, Let's Begin! 

Today, We're Talking  About Sin, Rest, Destruction, Peace, Choices, Self, And Decision-Making! In Short, Brethren, We're Going To Discuss Life! Isn't It Beautiful!?! 

That's Easy For You To Say, Sis. Hepher! 

There Was A Moment Of Stunned Silence, And Then The Class Started To Howl With Laughter! 

The Teacher's Face Didn't Even Wrinkle! 

When Order Had Been Restored And The Students Had Calmed Down, With A Perfectly Straight Face The Teacher Said: 

This Is What Happens When You Don't See The Whole Picture, Know The Whole Story, And Don't Know The Real Name, Full Name, Blessed Name Of Your Lord, God, Teacher, Leader, Feeder, Sustainer, Savior, Guide, Redeemer, And Forever Friend, The Final Judge Of All Mankind! 

When You Don't See The Whole Picture, You Don't Know That There's Something Vitally Important Missing, And You Denigrate The Name, That Glorious Name, Of Him Who Alone Saves! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Shepherd, The Good Shepherd ... And Shepherd Is My Name! I Lead You In His Name! 

Now, Because The Name Of The Shepherd Is Not Totally Visible, You, Me, We Live Life As We Please, Forgetting The One Above, He Whose Name Is The Name Above All Names! 

We Do Not See That Living Life Without Jesus Christ The Shepherd Leaves Us Living In Sin Which Leads Us To Sure Destruction! 

There Is No Peace And, Therefore, No Rest! 

Our Choices Are Made For Self ... Self-Satisfaction, Self-Aggrandizement, Self-Service! And, No Mistake ... Those Poor Choices Lead To Poorer Actions Which Lead To Self-Deceived Self-Wrought Self-Destruction! 

Making This Personal, The Mentality Called "Do-You!" Did You In, And You Are Done And Dusted! But ...! 

... I Know This One, Sis. Shepherd! 

Go Ahead, Homer! 

The Good Shepherd Does Not Leave Any Of His Sheep In The Wilderness Of Sin For The Roaring Lion To Devour! 

His Sheep Know His Voice And, When He Calls Their Name, They Answer Him Even With What They Consider To Be Their Last Breath! 

If They're Too Weak To Walk, He Will Carry Them To His Known Green Pastures Beside Still Waters! 

The Good Shepherd, By His Sweet Spirit Known Holy, Restores Their Soul As In Puts Life, Real Life, True Life, The Holy Life, His Life, In Them Because He Is The Life-Giver! 

Thank You, Homer! 

Beloved, Do Not Disregard The Shepherd, Our Shepherd, Our Rest, Our Peace! 

Choose Not To Be Lost And Lonely And Filled With Fear For Your Future! 

Choose Not To Be A Wondering, Wandering Star Seeking A Sun! 

Choose To Be A Child Of The Sun Of Righteousness Who Has Your Healing In His Wings! 

Choose To Be Safe In His Arms, And Sin Will Not Have Dominion Over You! 

There Is Character In A Name! Please, By Grace Through Faith, Let Your Name Have The Character Of Jesus Christ In It! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Eat The Whole Book!

God Is Love! 

Yes, And ...!?! 

Since God Is The Source And The Strength Of My Life, It Must Therefore Mean That Love Is The Source And The Strength Of My Life, And If I Don't Love, I Don't Know God And Have No Strength, And Thus, No Life! 

No God, No Life, No Love, No Light, And, Therefore, I Walk Boldly, Blindly, Falteringly, In Darkness! Deeeep Darkness! 

Darkness Is Synonymous With Death! So That Means That You, Me, We Walk In Death Now, And Into The Blackness Of Eternal Death Aka Eternal Separation From Eternal Life, Light, And Love, From The Way, From The Used-To-Be Open Door! 

Come On, Bro. Marquis! You Just Upped The Ante! You Always Do This! You Give Us Something To Work On, Or Work Out, And Then ... You Add On A Step Up To, Step Out From, Step Back From, Step Toward, Step Upon, Keep Step With, Or Step Away From! 

Yeahhh, That's True, Helena! He Always Wants More! 

You Could Really Keep Quiet And Indulge In A Hard Sit Down, Bittadis! You're Nothing But A Home Wrecker! 

You're Just Like Your Name! You Never Make Or Partake A Whole Meal To Get Its Full Benefits But Always Choose To Take A Bit Of This And A Bit Of That, And That Is Why You're Always Hungry, And Seldom Welcome At Anybody's Table Because You Say That People's Food Has No Taste, Lacks Depth, Has No Breadth, And Can't Bless A Bird Because It Ain't Bold! 

You Know, Kandle, When You Spell It Out Like That, You're Right About Bittadis, She Knows It, And You Missed A Spot! 

How So, Showitte!?! 

You Right, Bittadis Wrong, And We ... All ... Guilty! 

You Got Oil For That Squeaky Wheel!?! 

Sure, Do! Bible 101, 201, 301, 401, 501 ... And 1001: Eat The Whole Book! 

Stop Picking Rice! Stop Picking A Scripture From Here, A Scripture From There, Getting A Doctrine Here, A Doctrine There ...! ... Here A Moo, There A Moo, Everywhere A Moo Moo! Old Macdonald Had A Farm! 

Brethren, The Bible Ain't An Unkempt Farm With Puddles Of Wuhisdat, Broken Equipment Scattered, Workers Chewing The Fat Aka Doing Everything But Working, Different Animals Singing Their Ordained Song In A Bedlam Of Noise That Only Their Maker Can Decipher, The Bread Is Not Baked, The Field Not Turned, The Orchard Not Pruned, And The Purse To Let Aka The Farmer Broke ... And Drunk! 

Beloved, The Good Book Is Whole, Healthy, And Heavenly! It's A Treasure Store! 

Bittadis Is Right AND Wrong BECAUSE She's Always Doing The Butterfly, The Hummingbird ... But Without The Benefit Of Their Ingrained Knowledge! 

Our Beautiful Treasure Store Has An Inlaid Direction, An Instruction For All Who Believe On The Master, Our Maker! 

Isaiah 28:10 Speaks Truly! Line Upon Line, Here A Little, Precept Upon Precept! 

To One, It Is A Blessing! To Another, It's A Curse! 

For Those Who Love Our Lord - Just Like You Would Have In Times Past Play In A Jewelry Box Enjoying Running Your Hands Through Your Bits And Baubles - You Will Take Great Pleasure Running Your Fingers Through The Pages Of Holy Writ To Find The Pearl, The Coin, The Son, The Savior, The Door, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Refuge, Strength, The Oil, The Path, The Way, The Shepherd, The King, Peace, Power, Provision, Endurance, Temperance, The Balm, The Robe, The Light, Love, Life ...! 

Do I Need To Say More, Seymour!?! Sayless!?! Tuhdoo!?! Comma!?! 

Dear Ones, We Must Pull Ourselves Together So That We May Pour Ourselves Out In The, Our, Search For Our Goodies From Almighty God Known Glorious! 

Lord, Pity Us, And Have Mercy Upon Us As We Humbly Place Our Trust In You! Guide Our Minds, And Teach Us Manners That Matter In Our Pursuit Of Those Things, Those Treasures, Which Will See Us Cross The Separating Line Between Grace And Glory! Feed Us With This Good Food, And Bless Us To Eat Substantially, And Cry Out, Call Out, Reach Out, And Hold Out Our Plate For More! 

Thank You, Lord, For Providing, Protecting, And Pursuing Us: Help Us To Pursue You In The Word, By Thought, Our Good Words To Others, And Kindly Deeds To Bless Others, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Pray, And As Beggars Willing To Be Fed, Plead! We Love You, Lord! Have Mercy, And Bless Us Again, And Again! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Where Would I Be ...!?!

 

The Songwriter Asks: "Where Would I Be If Jesus Didn't Love Me!?!" 

Will You Dare And Ask Yourself That Question Without Flinching!?! 

Bro. Burch, I Don't Know That I Really Want To Know The Answer To That Question Because, Well, Spotlights ... And Mirrors! 

Valid Point, Tierney, But Since When Have We Decided To Shy Away From, Ignore, Or Dismiss Inconvenient Truths!?! Spotlights Highlight And Mirrors Disclose But Neither Of These Cause Us To Be Fixed By Their Disclosures! 

I Don't Want To Know What I Would Do, Say, Think Or Become Without Our Lord Jesus Because I Am Well On My Way To Becoming What He Wants Me To Be, To Say, To Think, To Do! 

You're Right, Cardy, Considering That Anything With And For Jesus, By And In Jesus Will Always Be Good, Anything Outside Of His Favor Must Be Evil, Bad, Not Good, Not Worthy To Be Adopted Or Distributed! 

At This Point, We Might As Well Identify A Few Things: Saul The Pharisee Was Zealous Without Knowledge Of The True God And Killed Christians! 

King Saul Chose Self And Disobedience And Personal Upliftment, Committed Murder Most Foul, And Subsequently Sought A Witch To Get Guidance From The Dead! 

I Have One, Bro. Burch! 

Go Ahead, Rendy! 

King David Took His Eyes Off The Lord For A Moment, Looked Upon The Nubile Flesh Of Another Man's Wife, And Subsequently Had Her Husband Murdered! 

I Would Go So Far As To Say That There Is Nothing Good That Lasts, Or Brings Lasting Peace And Happiness, That Exists Outside Of The Love Of The Eternal God! 

Well Said, Rendy! 

Now, With That Said, Why Do We Still Believe In And Act Upon The Premise That I Can Do All Things ... Because I Want To!?! 

Wait, Doesn't The Text Actually Say I Can Do All Things ... Through Christ!?! 

Yes, It Does, Belinda! 

So How Come We Have Not Accepted That The "All Things Through Christ" Means Whatever Is Good, Lovely, Just, True, Pure, And Of Good Report, Are Virtuous, And Bring Praise To His Holy Name!?! 

That's Because The Red Kool-Aid Of Self-Aggrandizement With Two Sides Of Self-Delusion Are Working Overtime, Belinda! 

Look, As Committed Christians, We Cannot Permit The Fear Of The Unknown To Paralyze Our Minds Far Less Our Feet! 

Jesus Is Our Captain! He Is All! He Knows And Sees All, And He Knows Our Names, Our Needs, And Our Nature! 

He Does Not Give Us A Spirit Of Fear Because Fear Brings Torment And ...! 

... A Tormented Soul Can Be Manipulated! 

Yes, Rendy, A Tormented Soul Can And Will Be Manipulated! 

So, Bro. Burch, What You're Saying Is That If We Give The Lord Who Loves Us Our Fears, We, With Love, Will Follow After Him In Peace And Safety, Never Being Anxious For Anything, Because We Are Not Leaning On Our Own Understanding!?! 

We Choose Not To Be Anxious About Anything, And By Prayer And Pleadings, With Thanksgiving, We Are Letting Known Our Requests For His Certain Help! 

We Know, Accept, And Act Upon The Fact That Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please Him! We Trust Him, And We Lean On Him, And Trust Him To Show Up, Deliver, And Show Out For Us! 

So, What Happens If He Doesn't!?! 

We Pray And Believe That All Things Work For Good To Them That Love God And Are The Called According To His Purpose! 

Brethren, With That, I Yield My Will To The Lord! 

I Will Follow Christ Because Every Good And Perfect Gift Comes From His Hand ... His Heart! 

When I Know Jesus, I Have Peace; And I Choose To Know His Truth Wherever It Leads Me! 

Self-Examination, Knowing Why You Believe What You Believe, Why You Desire A Place At The King's Table, Is Essential To Christian Growth! 

Jesus Christ's Love To Us Is A Disclosing Agent: Let's Follow Him Wherever He Goes! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Panacea For Pain And Problems!?!

... So Much Pain, Sorrow, And Suffering, And Yet There Is Only One Oft' Rejected Hope, Helper, Healer ... Savior! 

Why The Disconnect!?! 

He Is Gentle ... A Gentleman! He Knocks At The Door Of Our Hearts ... He'll Never Break In Because He's Waiting For An Invitation To Enter! 

He Speaks Kindly! He'll Never Override Your Decision To Ignore Him ... To Reject Him! 

He Extends An Invitation Exclusive To Each Person, Tailored To Each Life, Personal To Each Station In Life ... With No Condemnation! 

He Knows How We Are Made! Dare I Say, He Remembers That We Are Dust Because It Is He That Made Us And Not We Ourselves! 

Can You Imagine A Creator Asking His Creation If He Can Have A Heart To Heart Conversation With Us Because He Wants To Become A Personal Part Of Our Lives!?! 

Never Happen! 

You're Not Lying! 

Why Does He Do That When He Could Just Take Away The Breath Of Life That He Himself Gave Us!?! 

Oh, That's An Easy One To Answer! He Is God, He Is Love, He Is Truth, AND, Get This, He Loves Each One Of Us Personally, Intimately, Beyond Death! 

Masterson, You Had Me Until You Said "Beyond Death!" There Ain't Nothing Beyond Death! 

Digby, If You Had Attended Sabbath School Instead Of Going To Pitch Marbles, You Would Have Known That He Led Captivity Captive, As In He Conquered Death When He Died, And Rose From Death, And Rose Up To Heaven, And He Is All Now Interceding For Us Who Have Made Him Our Choice!

Masterson, You Really Believe All That Stuff That You Just Said!?! 

Digby, My Brother From Another Mother And Brother In The Lord, Without Fear Of Contradiction And With My Whole Heart, I Do! By His Grace, His Favor, He Gives Me Power, And I, Accepting That He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie, I Believed His Word, Accepted His Hand, His Love And Light, The Truth, To Walk In His Way That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

I Am Saved! I Am Blessed! I Am Being Sanctified Day By Day, And I Am Looking To That Great Day When He Shall Physically Come To Call His People Home To Himself, To Go To His Father's House Of Love And Peace, Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible! 

What A Day That Will Be! 

So, How Can I Get In On That Action!?! 

Digby, Call On The Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ, And You Shall Be Saved! 

I'm Telling You To Come Now, As You Are, But Be Prepared! 

Prepared For What!?! 

The Change! 

What Kind Of Change, Masterson!?! Talk Fast And Make My Day Beautiful Or Never Speak To Me Again! 

Jesus Says That He Stands At Your Door And Knocks, And If You Hear His Voice And Open Your Door, And Let Him In, He Will Come In And Sup With You, And You With Him! His Yoke Is Easy And His Burden Is Light! 

Being With Him, You Are Changed To His Likeness, And People Become Aware That You Have Been With Him! 

He Is Kind, Gentle, Loving, Giving, Caring, Helping, Inspiring Hope, And Promising An Expected End! 

He Does Not Promise A Cake-Walk, But He Assures A Hallelujah Ending ... Which Is The Beginning! 

Masterson!?! 

Yes, Digby!?! 

I Really Like, Even Love You, BUT I Realllly Want To Cuff You In The Top Of Your Head! 

Why All The Violence, Digby!?! Jesus Is Peace, Our Peace! 

Your Jesus Is Offering Me Bare Hard Work To Get A Sudden "Hallelujah Life" ...! 

... With Pleasures Forevermore AND His Peace Which Passes Human Understanding In The In-Between Time! 

You Gotta Love It! It Confuses That Satan When We Free-Will Choose To Accept Jesus' Offer! Maaaan, I Sing "Peace, Perfect Peace, In This Dark World Of Sin!" 

I Have Peace Within Because He Is Enough AND Sufficient! My Cup Of His Love Is Running Over! I Am Blessed! Can't You See Me Like King David Dancing For Joy!?! 

Okay, Call Him! 

Pray! 

I Said Call Him, Masterson! 

I Said Pray, Digby! 

Ohhhh, You Call Him By Praying! 

That's Right, Head Boy! 

Lord Jesus, Come Into My Heart Today, To Stay! For Long I Strayed, Please Don't Turn Me Away! The World Of Sin And Self Looked Pretty, But It Left Me Unclean! I Was Mean To Mam And Pappy, And I Said Bad Words To Bam And Happy! I Am Not Nice, And I Sure Don't Do Right! I Have Profaned Your Name, And Preferred Walking In The Darkness And Never The Light! Fix Me, Lord Jesus, For No One Else Can! Take Me As A Sheep Of Your Pasture And Lead Me To Your Promised Land! 

I'm Tired Of Sin And Suffering! I'm Tired Of Loss And Shame! I'm Tired Of Being Unclean! I Don't Want To Walk In Fallen Man's Acid Rain! Take Me Into Your Safe Fold! Lead Me Gently, Bless Me, Shape Me, Under Your Control! I Am Your Very Own! AMEN!!! 

Now Make Him Your Choice Every Day! Be Obedient And, With Patience, Endure All Things For Him! Do Right! Choose Life! Walk In The Light! When You Do Wrong, Repent! Trust Him, And Do Not Forget To Pray Always, And Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 

I Like That! 

Pass The Word Along: Share Your Faith! 

I Like That! 

And Sing! Sing Of Him! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Repentance Before Joy And Peace!

But I Just Want To Be Happy! I Want To Experience The Joy Of Living, And Definitely The Peace That Comes After Pleasure! 

Oh, Boy! You Sound Like A Hallmart Chard, Chelline! Whichever Cartoon Planet You're Now Coming From, They Obviously Never Told You That Your Paycheck Arrives After Your Work For The Specified Period Is Performed! You Don't Get Paid For Playing Around, Sweet Girl! 

Let Me Try, Kelis! 

Knock Yourself Out, Merrie! 

Chelline, We Love You, And We Are Trying Our Best To Help You Not To Have A Hard Row To Hoe In Your Life! 

Regret Is A Bitter Pill To Swallow, And A Hard One To Keep Down, Because It Constantly Rises Up In Your Throat Reminding You Of Things That Should Never Have Been Attempted Or Executed! 

That Sounds Like A "You" Problem, Merrie! 

You Had Better Believe It Was, Is, A "Me" Problem, Chelline, But Thank The Good Lord For His Grace And Mercy, I Came To Understand That Holiness Comes Before Happiness ... !  

... And Repentance Comes Before Joy And Peace AND None Come Before Jesus In Me! 

Oh, Cry Me A River, Kelis! 

You Sound Just Like I Did At Your Age, Chelline! 

Not You, Too, Figgi! 

Yes, Chelline, All Three Of Us Walked The Road That You Are Attempting To Enter So We Know What Happens There ... And Next! 

But I'm Not You! I Can Handle Myself! 

Oh, Chelline, I Feel For You! We All Said The Same Thing! Same Song Book, Same Song, Same Tune ... Same Result! Same Regret, Same If Only, Why Did I, If I Could Go Back! The Same Why Didn't Somebody Warn Me ... When Somebody Did ... Multiple Times! 

You're Just Trying To Scare Me! 

I Hope It's Working! 

Not You, Too, Aunt Mags! 

Yes, Chellie, Present And Accounted For! I Will Add Only One Thing To This Conversation: Jesus Christ Is Your Light And Your Salvation: Make Him The Love Of Your Life Now, While His Door Is Open To You, Before Mercy Steps Aside And Justice Is Enthroned, And Regret Will Never Become A Blip On Your Radar! 

You Are A Free Agent! You Are Blessed With Free Will, And You Have The Freedom To Exercise It ... As You See Fit! 

Prepare Your Canvas! Pencil Your Design! Pick Your Colors! Now, Go Paint Your World! 

Chelline!?! 

Yes, Ms. Merrie!?! 

You Will Notice That Your Aunt Mags Said "Pencil Your Design" And "Paint Your World!" Why Do You Think That Is!?! 

Everybody Knows That Pencil Marks Are Temporary Because They Are Erasable But Paint Is Permanent! 

Good Answer! So What Does That Mean To And For You!?! 

Pencil Is Planning Which Means That I Can Course Correct ... Hmmm ... But If I Lay Down Paint, I've Turned Plan Into Action, Indulged In Production, Committed To A Path, No Turning Back, End Result Is Rejoicing Or Remorse! 

I Can Try To Course Correct But The New Colors Might Clash, Or Become Muddy, Turning My Painting ... My Life ... Ugly ... Until I Want To Throw It All Away ... Unless I Cry Out To Jesus ... In Repentance ... And He Gives ... Me ... A New Canvas ... A New Life! 

That's My Girl! You Figured It Out! 

Yes, Ms Kelis! 

Okay, Here's One Last Thought For The Road: Can You Unreel Sticky Tape Without Marring The Sticky Part Or Leaving A Fingerprint!?! 

Of Course Not! 

Well, Ms Chelline, That's Your Life! Whatever You Touch, Torches You, Whatever You Mar, Marks You! Think On These Things! 

Choose Jesus First! 

I Love You, Baby Girl! 

Make Your Peace With The Lord! 

Thank You Ever So Much, Bonus Mumsies! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Buying Fruit Trees!?!

 Today, I Am Going To Talk About Buying Trees, And More Specifically, Fruit Trees! 

Bro. Bam, I Don't Have A Green Thumb So I Have Sworn Off Buying Fruit Trees, And Plants, And Flowers Because I Unfailingly Kill Them All! 

Well, My Friend, Asshur, You May Want To Listen In On This Session! 

Brethren, When We Go To Buy Fruit Trees, It Is Always With The Hope That What They Bear Is The Identical Thing To What You  Planted Aka Plum Tree: Plums ... Preferably Sweet; Tomato: Tomatoes; Mango: Mangoes ... Sweet And Juicy, And So On! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About Mortal ...! 

... What Kind Of Name Is That!?! 

It's The Name That His Parents Gave Him, So Back Up A Lot, Trundle! 

Well, Mortal Went To Eden's Garden Shop And He Bought A Half-Dozen Quick-Bearing Fruit Trees! 

Those Trees Already Looked Like They Were Pregnant To Him, So He Was Excited, And Then Some! He Even Started Singing A Lil' Ditty About Fruit In A Year, Then In Six Months, And Then In A Month! 

People Even Heard Him Muttering About How He Should Be Able To Get Fruit In A Week, And That He Would Get Fruit In A Week, Or Even A Day If He Made The Tree Himself! 

People Started Making Spirals Around Their Ears When They Finished Having A Conversation With Him! 

Well, One Day, Someone Who Had Grown Tired Of Mortal Disrespecting The Creator's Handiwork And Growing Process Asked Him What Kind Of Trees He Had Purchased! 

Puffed Up Like The Old Windbag That He Was, Mortal Arrogantly Said: "Choice! 

I Purchased Quick-Bearing Choice Trees!" 

I've Never Heard Of A Choice Tree, But I'm Willing To Taste The Fruit Of Your Harvest! 

Sorry, Foundit, That Fruit Is Already Spoken For, And It's All Mine! 

Okay, Mortal, Knock Yourself Out! I Can't Fight You For What's Yours! 

You Got That Right! Byeeee! 

Well, Long Story Real Short, The Day Of Harvest Came And Mortal Was Heard Screeching About Sabotage And A Boatload Of Other Rubbish Until Foundit Turned Up! 

Mortal, I Hear You Had A Fitting Harvest! 

What Do You Mean Fitting Harvest, Foundit!?! This Is A Disaster Of Gargantuan Proportions! I Don't Like The Fruit! 

I Don't Know Why, Mortal! You Said All The Fruit Was For You Alone! 

Yes, I Said That, Foundit, But I Don't Like It! 

Wow, Mortal, Astonishing! You Don't Like The Fruit Of Your Own Choice!?! Don't Make Me Laugh! 

Ain't This Just Like Life! You Made Your Decision, You Know, Your Choice! Your Consequence: You Know, Your Fruit To Eat ... AhhLone!!! 

How Do You Like Them Apples, Mortal Aka All For Me!?! 

Brethren, Mortal And His Fruit Trees Called Choice, Are A Metaphor For Life! 

You Pick Your Own Path With Or Against Good Advice, And You Enjoy, Or Don't, Your Chosen Journey! The Results, The Consequences ...! 

...  Stop Right There! Split The Word: Con Is "With" And Sequences Is "Steps" BUT The Problem Is That The Prefix "Con" In This Instance Is A Negative Hence We Have Negative Steps Aka Steps Down For Us ... Mortals! 

My Peoples, See That You Get Wisdom, And In All Your Getting, Get Understanding ...! 

...  To Use Knowledge The Right Way To Fill Your House, Your Rooms, With Pleasant And Precious Things! 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Learn From Your Mistakes And The Mistakes Of Others: Let The Good Lord Show You Which Fruit Trees To Cultivate To Bear Choice Fruit Fit For His Table! 

Peace!
