          Geri — I am sorry for your loss and thankful that you will see your brother again, what a blessed thought to know that he will be with you for eternity, what a comfort. May Matt 5:4 be of comfort from His word.

          Rest in His assurance dear sister! :rose:

            Thank you Terry, Tammie and Heidi for words of comfort, prayers and beautiful song!

            I have mix emotions … right now … I have guilt not staying in touch with him because I was tired of the debates … every October after Feast of Trumpets would pass he would, without fail, taunt with his emails and say when is the next rapture bus schedule?  He started to do this after my mom passed away. He was never this way before … he was actually a pre-tribber but then living in California … some of the churches there believed in mid or post trib that he attended.  He went to many – about 3 different ones during the week for their prayer meetings and services.  I think the mind control  at those churches changed his view.  Yet on the other hand he helped me get thru my battle with Lyme.  The prescription meds weren’t doing the job and the health care refused to give any more pills so he felt sorry for me and did a lot of research online and gave me a list of herbs and vitamins to take to kill the infection for good.  So I was grateful for his kindness and caring.  Plus he lost a lot of weight and was doing the juicing like Jack LaLane and was trying to get me to do the same.  What is weird is I was just thinking about him the other day as I was cleaning out that kitchen cabinet of vitamins and thought … should I reach out to him again perhaps he won’t be so annoying this time.

            Its weird knowing I can’t communicate with him anymore in this life. :cry:   But I have to take comfort it was the Lord’s will for his home going to be yesterday.  As I look back … he did have a few close calls, but it wasn’t his time to go.  He visited us in Vermont in August 2001 and then drove his rental car to Boston to sight see over there and flew out of Logan airport on his return flight but his original ticket was for mid September but he switched it out to visit us a month earlier. And he was in a terrible automobile accident on the California freeway in the early morning hours when he had another security job of graveyard hours.  He drove an old 1970’s sports car and was basically a 2 seater … the backseat just stored his supplies and he had sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, etc. back there for their family camping trips and that actually helped him in the crash “as an airbag” because  there was a drunk driving over 100 miles an hour and plowed right into him and totaled his car like a tin can. Only the driver seat area was still in tact and not crushed in.  It was a miracle he survived it and had no serious injuries other than stiff neck and soreness for a few days. He knew the Lord protected him that day.  So I have to look at it that it was the Lord’s will for him  that his work down here was up.

            Here is a late 1970’s picture on a hot summer day after church.  My mom wanted a group picture … my siblings are so much older than me .. 2 were heading back to college and he was getting married.  He’s on left side with the mustache.

            153E3B43-DFA7-413A-905A-D187A693171F

            Yes, I will continue to pray for everyone’s lost loved ones. :rose:   Time is short … I hope the grand reunion for us all is in the next few weeks!   No more separation/goodbyes ever again.  Only hello’s and good mornings. :whistle:

                      Wow Geri — great photo — I had hair like your sister (Karen Carpenter) in the 70’s and then the dresses are ones I actually miss — I love those style. I also like the suits, very classy in my opinion. Your brother’s mustache was not one of the favorite looks that I liked but I remember that style :mdrmdr:  You look adorable and very teenage-ish :yes:

                            Hello siblings,

                            On Thursday, I was with one of my clients on a zoom hearing with an attorney who is trying to help him appeal the decision not to put him on disability. It’s not really fair. The attorney did not say what kind of questions she will be asking and what answers I might have to listen to. I should not have been part of an interview where she was asking the kind of questions that she was (what caused PTSD)

                            I also was involved in a collision and am a bit nervous about driving this week so I have been taking the bus to work. It took me almost 2 hours each way. I am very tired. I just woke up suddenly with a major anxiety attack. I wondered why and the first thing that came to mind is that I have been so busy that I have not took any of my supplements, minerals,……………….the last few days.

                            the new manager that I have at work is not somebody I am comfortable with so I can’t go to him mentioning what happened with the interview with the attorney. Actually, I really don’t trust him or like him that much. I can’t help it. I wish we had someone more easy to approach,…………………I just don’t feel good about him.

                            please say a prayers for me. thank you

                                      I’m so sorry to hear you are going thru these on-going trials, Heidi.   I’m glad you are ok from that auto accident!  I’m sure that must of shook you up some.  Hopefully you can drive soon and not have to take the bus.  Praying your new boss is understanding and lightens up in his Mr. Hitler managerial skills. Sometimes new bosses come on strong to put fear into their workers but deep down they are wimps and nothing to fear.  I pray your anxiety goes away and that a reversal happens in the decision on your client so he is able to get his disability benefits.

                                      Thank you very much, Geri.

                                      The rental company gave me a car that I am not used to driving which is making things worse. This Monday is holiday. On Tuesday, I will ask them if they can give me another car. I am planning to use the bus again this week but hopefully, not anymore by next. (although still a bit nervous about being on the road)

                                      “Sometimes new bosses come on strong to put fear into their workers but deep down they are wimps and nothing to fear”

                                      thank you for the reminder. he is polite and smiles often but I prefer to have another manager. The new manager who was hired is very nice, but she just went on mat leave. They might hire someone else in the meantime.

                                      This manager is the manager of another team, but he was put in charge for now.

                                              Dear Friends, We are in the path of the hurricane here in Myrtle Beach.  It’s supposed to be a tropical storm when it arrives tonight.  We are ready, camping gear set up, bug out bags packed, etc.

                                              But I really ask for your prayers for my over 55+ community.   I was shocked to find out how many neighbors are on CPAP and oxygen and NEED electricity. Please pray that the power stays on in our area.   Thanks!

                                               

                                              Of course I have tonight as a Rapture watch date!  :thankyou   :flyup:

                                                  And please keep everyone’s electricity on.

                                                      Thank you for your prayers!   We had some downpours and 20mph winds but most of the storm went west of the coast up the middle of the state.  We have a few more rain bands but most of the storm is over.

                                                      Love My RITAN family!  :thankyou

                                                          We got some much needed rain from it but nothing like they had forecasted with possibly up to 12″. It was nice and steady most of the day.

                                                            I don’t believe we have much time left, but I still don’t want to keep putting up with the job I have now. I decided to look for another job. I took a couple of weeks off, after that I start my job search. Please say a prayer that God will guide me and show me where to look. That it is easy and obvious. thank you

                                                                  Per Kolleen

                                                                      She also has a dear friend who is dealing with brain cancer.  So if you can remember him too in your prayers she would appreciate that

I ignored it and forgot about it. Yesterday, I saw it again when I was cleaning up. It said “priest” on the envelope, don’t remember if there was another name. I opened it. It had occultic symbols on it. I guess it was from someone offering their services as a psychic. I threw it away. Should I be concerned that it was in the apartment for a couple of days or forget the whole thing? thank you

                                                                                            Do you know of anybody at work or neighbors that act like they are into the “dark” stuff … wears black a lot, listens to heavy metal music, etc?   They probably just got your door mixed up with that intended person.  Maybe there is a crime case they are trying to solve for that person?

                                                                                            You did the best thing in getting rid of the creepy note.  As long as nothing weird is happening / strange noises, things falling down, etc. I would disregard it.

                                                                                              Heidi, I’d been locked out of our site for a couple days, but want to say, I remember you parted ways with a woman who you thought could be a friend last year, who in the end, turned out to exhibit some dark controlling things you began to see in her…no idea how that came to be under your door, but she comes to mind.

                                                                                              Remember you have authority to bind the enemy, and loose his plans from you and others, and to bless your home to be God-filled and God honoring. In that no weapon formed against you will prosper.

                                                                                              Just keep yourself and your home covered in prayer, in biblical confessions of protection as He leads you, with worship and praise lifted up, all in Jesus Holy and powerful Name. He is with you in all your going in, and all your going out. This is raising up a biblical standard against evil, putting God, His Word and His Praise above any enemy attack. :rose:

                                                                                                Geri, that happened at home.

                                                                                                Kolleen, it’s interesting that the psychic woman comes to mind. She said she wanted to visit me more than once, but then I found out she was a psychic and she never came to my place. I am not even sure she knows the address, only which neighborhood.

                                                                                                I felt an attack strongly through someone at work a couple of weeks ago. I got an email from my car insurance late afternoon on Nov 9 saying they won’t pay for the rental anymore. (My car is still not fixed, parts are on back order) they told me on Nov 9 that that day is the last day they will pay for it. That stressed me out a lot. I went to work the next day and was busy making calls from work. I was getting the run around.

                                                                                                I was sitting in a class room trying to do my job while being on the phone at the same time with my insurance company when a client came in, sat right opposite to me and started having a snack.

                                                                                                I told her we don’t have an appointment. she snapped that it was cold outside.

                                                                                                It turns out she has an appointment somewhere else and wanted  a place to sit for a while until her appointment.

                                                                                                she is an older woman so I just put up with her and continued with my work. she asked me to get her paper from the printer. I got her some. she started to draw.

                                                                                                I got frustrated because of her presence. I couldn’t concentrate on my work, talk to other clients or talk to the insurance with her around. I told her I can’t work with her around. she said she will be quiet. I told her I still need to concentrate and I have to make calls.  a couple of times, I had to take the phone and talk with someone in a different room.

                                                                                                then she said she wanted to go to the bathroom. A few seconds after she was gone, her cell phone went off. It made a racket.  I thought I was going to have to listen to it for a few minutes while she was in the bathroom. However, she was quick to come out when she heard the phone. I was getting agitated and said that her phone is too loud.  She snapped that that is her doctor.

                                                                                                That woman’s behavior was so weird and aggressive and the timing of it………………..I really felt it was an attack.

                                                                                                Anyway, issue resolved with my insurance. they will continue paying for the rental and it looks like the parts have arrived for my car.

But people have changed with all the upset going on in this world. “In our day…” no one would ever think of intruding into your work area space as this lady did. If a public area – nothing you can do but move elsewhere. If in your office, desk area or in a co-worker business area…I would tell anyone who does that, that business with your clients is confidential and private, between you and them, so the person needs to leave and go to some other waiting area.

                                                                                                    Hi Kolleen,  I wondered after I read your post if that woman thought this was a public area, but I am not sure that’s why she did it.

                                                                                                    The classroom is used as an office when there are no classes.  I think she should stay away seeing someone sitting there and working. The way she sat opposite to me instead of at any other table, made me feel like she wanted to be rude.

                                                                                                    She also did something that was thoughtless and rude almost a month ago. I think she is trying to provoke me.
