Spring is in the Air

Greetings in the Lord! Spring is definitely in the air in St. Louis! The landscape is brightly lit with all sorts of colors of flowers in bloom. Finally, too, the mud is being paved with bright green grass. Amen! But the best news is that His Seed also springing forth! Yes, 3 or 4 years ago the Lord had sent me down to Texas to sow some seed, in very rocky soil I might add, and I had not heard anything since then. Well, as it turned out, the Lord had also sent others to water, prune, fertilize, etc. those seeds and lo and behold---a sprout has eruped! "But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead." Isaiah 26:19 Indeed, this is the season of the prodigals returning to the Lord! Amen and amen.

We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

Justice Rolling Like a River

Greetings in the Lord! A month ago as the Lord was preparing me for the next place He would send me, I recall having a dream in which I parachuted down from the sky looking at a pleasant hilly land below me. While most of it was covered with trees, I also saw cliffsides and cleared areas of land where someone had cut away a portion of a hill, exposing the rock and leaving level ground of muddy dirt and uprooted trees. That is now my view as I look out the townhouse window! Yes, the cutting away of the hills and clearing of the trees is because of housing developments--everywhere! I am living along the great Mississippi River, in the rolling hills south of St. Louis. It is an area of small, sleepy country towns...now being overrun by crafty businessmen who are developing areas that no one can see how the local economies will support. And for the "leaders" of these communities, they don't seem to mind. Why? Because many profit handsomely from selling these areas of l
