I listened to another KZbin video today that reminded us that our goal is not to get to heaven, but to bring the kingdom of heaven here to Earth. This also resonated with your talk of the spiritual and the temporal. We shouldn’t be focused on the things of Earth, but of bringing the spiritual reality to the temporal.

@@christophermanley3602 this is so true! I just wish I had not the headache at this level and get a grip on focus for God’s will and what He wills in content. Shorten, be concise, be direct-not exactly “me” but I’m praying to be as however God wills and wants of what’s left of me in body and time remaining. Please pray thst I encourage and deliver for God, from God, to and for others. We are His Pure Love here and now. Or we may be…we are given the blessed opportunity it’s and capacity

I have pondered your first statement especially, and it inspired me to do the drawing out of people and to finally get to the inner of my pain doctor's needs for prayers for his family and himself, and can pray for the sales rep trying to get more accounts at doctors' offices, and also with Mary's son who texted me the outcome of today's doctor visit, and I know Mary is so fatigued and unable to eat that she is declining to the point too tired to talk. I've had those times but not to the extent plus the surreal aspects of really a miracle the only means of remaining. Her children and grandchildren the only anchors here but very strong ones, of course. My view of dying and leaving earth is so skewed as to be abnormal, so I must consider from others' views. But, her son already has asked me, "Why would't God, of course, want my mother to be right there with him?" He understands, yes! And her mother will once there be elated, and she will see how she can be helpful and interactive with her family on earth, and they will sense her and have faith enoughto know she is with them in spirit. I do not discount Blessed Solanus and her faithful family asking his intercessions, but now they are realizing the suffering of her lack of energy and inabiity to eat. That alone will have painful side-effects--having no appetite and weight loss continuing. She, to me, is in a most enviable posiiton but that is yet another example of why I'm not a puzzle piece from some other puzzle, put in the wrong box. The box I was to be in has long since been lost in antiquity. I'd better meditate on another locution I had years ago: Be a guest.
