Like everyone, I am sure, when Jesus shook me up and snatched me out of darkness - unknown, unacknowledged, unnamed, unrecognized darkness - and brought me into this glorious light... sharing the story and wanting it so desperately to share it... This Lesson was a Shock.

To the ones most educated. To the ones most close to me. To the ones who knew me the best or over the longest arch of time....  To THESE, I wanted the shining light inside me to be so obvious to draw intelligent and compassionate conversation and inquiry.

Like everyone, I am sure, I have been surprised and I had to learn my job and my responsibility.

I am decided to be Public with Jesus Christ. Always.
All of the lessons of Discipleship, of sharing the Gospel, of Walking Holy... are for me to do and to live.

But the WORK of sanctification and change is the work of the Holy Spirit.
My job is to Love Only.
My work is to Be Only.
My joy is to Share Only.

I have wondered much at the description of God's Love being "Long-Suffering" as the people run amok, as the Kings in the Bible start with God then leave him, don't see Him, don't choose Him. Then I learn that the world ends and God's Wrath comes when the last gentile chooses God.

I cannot help but want that to be my loves, my friends.

Everyday I learn to broaden my family and remember the ones who do not choose to hear me or walk with me, I remember they will hate me because they hated Him first.
Right there, in the book. Every truth.
