WHATEVER IT TAKES

Well WPA… In the past i have gone out of my way to ask the WPA to actually look at the THREADS that have come through this group. To actually try to figure out WHAT THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT was trying to get us to notice. In the past it usually did not work. Joe, our RIDDLER, has shared two real scary images. I say scary because i know where it is leading. But if you really prefer to be OBLIVIOUS to what is OBVIOUS, nothing is going to help. But in case you missed them…
POST 14806 Songs for 40 and
POST 14808 Mood setting for 10.
Now for those who really can hear THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT camp at post 14806 until you get something … anything… Now i am going to ask the WPA an ugly question. Have you ever took a course in CPR? That is Cardio-Pulmonary RESUSITATION….the RED CROSS and the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION have been teaching it to the AMERIKAN PUBLIC for going on 50 years. Now have you ever found yourself wishing that you knew how to “save a life”? A loved one having a cardiac arrest…a child with a seizure…a bee sting?
Funny how some real stupid and simple things can stop a human body from breathing…a heart from beating. Now i have to ask…have you ever done it? One of the hardest things i have to do is to STOP. Once you start CPR you stop when VITAL SIGNS return….or when further efforts are FUTILE… POINTLESS…. The second hardest thing is to explain to a family member that you had to stop.
But what is not always as hard is to discuss with family that maybe the situation is such, that if the VITAL SIGNS would fail, it would be pointless to do any CPR at all. Let me tell you the real eye opener is when a person asks you not to bring them back…again…what do you say? I guess it is our mind set…we will do whatever it takes to help someone. All the science, technology, and skill we have at our disposal…we pour it out again and again. Hurricane Katrina has given us stories where trauma teams that were overwhelmed and everything they did was not enough. She also gave us stories where GOVERNMENT prevented teams from getting in and doing anything at all.
On August 4 i replied to posts mentioning where I live. As my Little Sister said.. the dog came back…lured back into the fray. On August 13 i went to a WEDDING and saw the draught as the NINTH OF AV stormed in. On August 16 i sent the WPA a post entitled CROSSROADS….and replied to THE COUNTRY CLUB CHURCH post. That was my signal to go after the “offices” and “gifts”. But it was on August 27 where I sent a post on a FEMA drill here in Western North Carolina centering in McDowell County. In that post I mentioned BLACK TAGGING and creating a TV MINI-SERIES about New Orleans
…i wrote…
“For years i have “felt” that NEW ORLEANS was a tragedy waiting to happen. The city actually sits below sea level. The levies that keep the river and the gulf out are old and in need of major repair.”
ABBA always tells me to KISS…KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. Which i always seem to forget to do. But i am not sure just how simple i can go from here on. Susan and Joe tell me…confirm for me my worst fears. Out of 400, give or take, there are not many going through to the other side. And even fewer really going to get into the fullness.
Like i said…i do not want to be the one who has to BLACK TAG the hopeless. Helpless…is another story… just help them through it. Another thread was “HAS TIME RAN OUT”…if you have to ask the question it’s almost too late…minutes are life and death in the real world. So if you crank it up and put it in gear…maybe you can get through the SEA before it closes.
But this SEASON is almost over. And WHEN THE MASTER is through pruning, THE VINE will look much different.
I also sent two songs with little or no comment… BE MAGNIFIED…and SANCTUARY.
Doing whatever it takes…
