DEFENDING EAGLE SHINES: RIGHTEOUSNESS REFLECTING THE GLORY OF GOD & HIS LOVE. By Parson Marilynn Verna Christian Wingfield The LORD LOVES THE RIGHTEOUS WHO KEEPS TRUTH FOREVER. Psalm 146: parts of verse 8 and 6. The LORD is far from the wicked, But HE hears the prayer(s) of the RIGHTEOUS. Proverbs 15:29 When the RIGHTEOUS rejoice, there is great GLORY; but when the wicked arise, men hide themselves because, The Spirit of GOD inhabits the Praises of HIS People, empowering them so, the RIGHTEOUS are BOLD as a LION. Proverbs 28: 1 in part & Proverbs 28:12 We are to be like RIGHTEOUS TREES, bearing, PRODUCING, GOOD FRUIT; WORTHY of DESERVED SERVICE by being USEFUL as a HELPER & LIFE GIVER to people, animals, Earth and survival. GOD SAYS, You will KNOW who are MINE, as to who you can TRUST; by their FRUITFUL ACTIONS; which are SIGNS, HINTS, SPOKEN CLEAN CONSIDERATE WORDS & GOODNESS; KIND DEEDS showing forth being RESPONSIBLE in DUTIES, CHORES, HOME/JOBS & SELF CLEANLINESS, being ALERT, SAFETY CONCIOUS & IN EACH INDIVIDUAL’S CAPACITY, LABORING AS ABLE. RIGHTEOUSNESS SHARES GOODNESS, HONESTY, MERCY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, HOPE & PERSEVERE to follow ORDERS, OBEYING RULES, being DILIGENT, HEALTHY, CONSERVATIVE, DEPENDABLE, OBSERVANT AS GOOD LISTENERS & DOERS FOR A TESTIMONY OF GOD TO ADMONISH & BLESS OTHERS TO WANT TO BE RIGHTEOUS & SPEAK TO STOP OR CORRECT WRONGS; HOLDING ACCOUNTABILITY & LAWFULLNESS for JUSTICE, PEACE & FREEDOM LIBERTY. “MY little CHILDREN, these things I write to you, so that you may NOT SIN, by following CREATOR’S GREAT SPIRIT prompting, leading, counseling & encouraging you to OBEY HOLY HIM/GOD. But, if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the FATHER, JESUS CHRIST, The RIGHTEOUS. Proverbs 15:29 The Three RIGHTEOUS ARE ONE GOD; SO, ALWAYS FOLLOW HIS LIGHT TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED & BRILLIANT with WISDOM, LIKE HOLY HIM & SHINE FORTH RIGHTEOUS JOY; EVERY DAY, THANKING JESUS FOR PROVISIONS, DIVINE FAVOR, PROTECTIVE ANGELS & HIS HOLY KINGDOM OF GOD. Matthew 7:17
As this second week of Lent begins we ponder the question - How do we begin again? #Lent2023 #asanctifiedart
how do we begin again? by Rev. Sarah A. Speed
Do we slide into something new?
Do we make a formal announcement? Dearest reader,
I have decided to begin again. Do we turn gradually, a gentle yield
in a new direction; or like a wave,
do we crash onto the shore of a new day?
Do we grieve the change? Are there breadcrumbs on the path?
Will Nicodemus be there?
Will it ever be easy?
I’m not sure exactly how we begin again,
but I know that moths wrap themselves in silk,
and after quite some time,
after many long nights,
after days spent alone,
they break out of their shell.
They pull themselves out under open sky,
and they spend the rest of their days chasing the light.
Maybe it’s always that way with beginnings.
Maybe it feels like the protective layer falling away.
Maybe we have to go it alone at first.
Maybe it feels like pulling and dragging yourself into something new.
Maybe there’s always open sky at the other end.

who will you listen to? by Rev. Sarah A. Speed
Twitter or the BBC / the ads on late-night television / the wind as she blows / the echo of children
playing / the quiet of snow / the ice bucket challenge / the phone when it rings / your pastor / your
mother / your doctor / your gut / the tension in your shoulders / the restaurant singing happy birthday
/ audio books / TED talks / the rhythm of the music / the coffee drip in the morning / your therapist
/ the wisdom of the enneagram / the way your heart comes alive when you’re being creative / the
man on the corner asking for change / the kid on the subway selling chocolate / the labels on the
makeup bottle that promise timeless beauty / the magazines that tell you you need timeless beauty /
astrology / the Dow Jones / the hiss of the radiator / the pitter patter of little feet / financial advisors /
the top 40 pop / the top 40 country / the New York Times / the rumor mill / the Book of Psalms / your
sense of self / Jesus, when he says, “I am with you, always.”
