Dear Sis. Nappa,
In the midst of a trouble spirit and a searching heart. I write this correspondence to you in the hope and faith that I shall find compassion and divine favour with you. For many years, I believed that I was on course spiritually. I then read Haggai 1:5-7 (I receive social security disability benefits). The reality of “missing the mark” reduced me to uncontrollable tears. At this moment in my life, I feel so totally alone, confused, and uncertain. I’ve come to the realization that my life is in absolute chaos. From the deep recesses of my mind, soul, and spirit; I have no doubt that as the Phoenix bird, I shall arise from the ashes. Forgiving others as well as myself is vital on my journey back to the place where my heartsong will be: “My soul, is one of a desert, my unquenchable thirst found an oasis of faith”. Would you be the oasis where I find needed refuge for my spirit? In my season of brokenness, I come to you just as I am. Searching for a drink of your living water of knowledge and wisdom to flow through me. Would you sow a seed of your newest insightful and timeless book entitled: ____ into my life? With your assistance, I can pick up the broken pieces of my life and place them at the feet of God. Help me discover and experience the Potter’s Touch. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my correspondence and request.
On the Potter’s Wheel,

Saint Dymphna Part 5
What is Confidence? In the joyful mysteries it is no illusion & a vessel of beauty lit w/ the consciousness of the light of the Torah & a listening heart. In the luminous mysteries it is to be born again in the kingdom of beatitude of soul stripped of veils of vanity w/ a quatrefoil of glory as pinnacle of law & prophesy. And no illusion in action or temptation, in both sets it is accord w/ creation & destruction. Then Jesus + Mary have confidence in your messiah consiousness.
Marcion the docetic scholar of the 2nd century discerned in Pauls writings a heavenly father Jesus related to of mercy + love. Not the heavenly father & tradition of strict constructionism, vengence & draconian messenthropic injustice. A tradition which has survived to this day & given us a Hitler & a holocost; abortion & the spread of AIDS; Jack Ruby & Lee H. Oswald. Marcion is a heretic w/ 2 gods, but the problem won’t go away w/ the church preaching right to life & Mary shilling mass murder in a deluge of fire for the big boy at Akita, Japan. While the rest of Christendumb licks its chops when the phallic minds in savage glory down-size 85% of the worlds population to a sustainable oiless economy in an end-times confabulated clap-trap of Jesus in complicity w/ an armagedon. Who has 2 gods? Who’s a heretic? Let’s go up to Mabel’s room. The heavenly father & tradition doesn’t have the time talent & resources for the salvation, one-at-a-time for 7 billion stonechildre on earth every generation. According to this eskeetes of rosary + the cross. Let the buyer beware of what the read agenda is w/ erezats of a cross & cut off rosary, let him fear the Lord(s)

VERY DISMAYED
To Whom It May Concern:
I have been reading the last [issue], and was VERY DISMAYED to find an advertisement for the __________ Bible. Now I am not unhappy about the bible, but the picture that was in the add, specifically of the woman. As a woman, who works as a marriage and family therapist for a pregnancy crisis center, I DAILY work with sex abuse, addictions and pornography issues. As a woman involved in church on a leadership level, and who has had deep discussions (with men and women) of what and how men think and see women, sex, and the sexualization of our country, and just how damaging sexual addictions can be for men AND women – I WAS VERY DISMAYED to see the add with what looked to me like an attractive woman, wearing a white loose fitting shirt, bra-less with the outline of a nipple showing through the shirt (handily right above the bible – isn’t that nice??)
PLEASE, PLEASE consider what you are placing in your magazine – and for a BIBLE no less?? I hope that it would be your wish to not be a stumbling block to christen me and women who might have problems of this nature, and you will carefully consider the pictures that are published in your magazine.
After much communication and study, our editors came to the conclusion that this particular Nipple-Gate simply did not exist. What was she looking for exactly, I wonder?

Christians and Alcohol
___________ had a well-written and interesting article in a recent __________________. In the article, _____ started by saying, “I’ve recently become deeply concerned over what appears to be a trend toward drinking among young church leaders.” By leaders he was referring to preachers. _________’s article is one that is worth reading.
Drinking is not a new problem. Noah was the first that we have record of to drink and get drunk. There are many references in the Bible that tell us not to get drunk. But the question that is asked is: “Is it O.K. for a Christian to drink alcohol?” and that question is usually tagged with the thought that, “Well, they drank wine in the Bible.”
The question and thought presuppose that wine in the Bible always had an alcoholic content. It also says the ancients were such dummies that they knew of no way to preserve grape juice without it fermenting. If they couldn’t figure that out, then I guess that means that the pyramids had to have been built by aliens from outer space. It is truly a wonder that man ever progressed to his brilliance of the 21st century. By the way, does anyone really think that when Jesus turned water into wine that it was fermented? Can one really think and believe that Jesus would have made something, and so much of it, that could actually hurt people?
Is there no other drink than alcohol around to drink? What good will come from drinking alcohol? Attend an AA meeting and hear all the good stories they have about alcohol. If drinking alcohol is O.K., when does it become bad? In other words, which drink of alcohol makes drinking alcohol bad? Brief hint: no alcoholic or drunk ever became that way without the first drink!
A Scotsman was seen by his wife, taking a shirt from the closet to the window to put in the sunlight to check to see if the shirt was clean enough to wear again. She spoke to her husband and said, “If it’s doubtful, it’s dirty!”
Wise words for anytime a choice is necessary.

The “Celebration” of Charles Darwin’s 200th Birthday
I know several people who believe that God specially created man and woman in His image, doing exactly as the Genesis account describes (Genesis 1:26-31 and Genesis 2:7-23). These “several” belong to the group who says that the Genesis account, the biblical account, of creation is NOT affiliated with evolution---period.
On the other hand, I also know people who believe that “The species man was not specially created but is merely, in a long chain of evolutionary changes of forms of life, the last link, made in the likeness not of God but of nothing so much as an ape” (Baier 315). These evolutionists belong to the group who recently “celebrated” Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, since Darwin was born in 1809.
Although both groups claim that their respective position is authenticated---at least implied---by evidence, these two positions are diametrical (“the biblical account of creation is not affiliated with evolution---period”). Therefore, both cannot be right. In other words if X and Y are contrapositions, both cannot be right: if they are opposites and X is true, then Y is false; but if Y is true, then X is false. Likewise if the biblical account of creation is true, then evolution is false. Or if evolution is true, then the biblical account is false. So in order to determine via implication and inference (things imply and people infer) which position is true---or which one better explains humankind’s origin in view of the evidence---let’s examine the fossil record, the atom, and the human conscience.
Evolution is characterized by an evolutionary “advantage” and moving upright on two legs is NOT an advantage over moving on all fours (quadrupedal). In fact, the locomotion of an ape (“bent sharply forward” on four legs) is a lot easier, faster, and more efficient than humankind’s bipedal movement (two legs). Further, unlike a chimpanzee, a human being is not able to move via jumping from tree to tree without going to the ground. Tarzan and Spider-Man are not representative of humankind as such. So since the quadrupedal movement (four legs) of a monkey (ape) is more efficient (“advantage”) than the bipedal gait of a human being---meaning humankind should have evolved to become quadrupedal instead of an ape (monkey) evolving to move upright on two legs (bipedal) until it becomes human-like (Oktar)---this “disadvantage” (two legs/bipedal) suggests why there is no transitional fossil in the fossil record from quadrupedal movement (four legs) to bipedal (two legs) of the “ape-like human.”
Since evolution is false, why “celebrate” the 200th birthday of someone (Darwin) whose myth should be (now) “ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science”?

COMPELLING WORDS FOR OUR TIME
“FOR WOE TO”
FOR WOE TO our radio stations in Milwaukee and across our country.
FOR WOE TO our churches in Milwaukee and across our country.
FOR WOE TO His Body here in Milwaukee and across our country. For failing to see Satan’s children made in the image of God, the very children Christ died for, the way He sees them. For Jesus knows, just as Satan does, there are only His New Children and Satan’s children in the world.
FOR WOE TO those who want to pass laws, to legislate a morality outwardly. Yet, are too afraid to speak His Truth to Satan’s children in the world, of who they really are and whose. For they do not love Satan’s children enough, with Christ’s Love, to tell them the Truth. That they might turn to His Cross to die in Christ and be Born Again, to live with a new morality in their hearts not of the Law, but of the Spirit as His New Children.
FOR WOE TO us for the blood of Satan’s children is on our hands because of our failure, in Christ’s Love, to use the whole Bible to reach them with the life- and heart-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. For Jesus died for all their sins, as well as for ours; and as the second Adam, He dealt fully with the heredity of our sine at the Cross. So all who come there to die in Christ could now change fathers and families, forever. To be born of God within (Born Again), to be a new creation in Christ as one of His New Children with “His” life in them, as “their” life. In this, Christ dealt with the “heart” of the issue in Love, while we are far more concerned by the surface actions of Satan’s children. Jesus offers to change their “hearts,” thus their lives and actions forever at the Cross, just as He did for us. For WOE to us if we fail to see “rightly,” the way Jesus sees us, so we can see Satan’s children “rightly” in Him.
SATAN’S CHILDREN’S SITUATION SEEN IN SCRIPTURE BEFORE A HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS GOD, RELAY HIS COMPELLING WORDS FOR OUR TIME.

Some Quotes
Dear Editor,
Over the past two years, I have posted sign messages on our church sign. I have a few original messages I wanted to present to you for fillers in any future issues of your magazine:
“If you settle for the status quo then you have no place to grow.”
“Haunted by your past? God isn’t scared.”
“If God is your co-pilot then you have control issues.”
“Satan’s bait is in thinking you’ll never get caught.”
“The Bible is God’s Positioning System”
I hope these can be useful to you and can share with your readers as short inspirational bursts of encouragement.
