Power Lines Before the Bridge

Never in a million years would I have guessed these would be my assignments.  I guess its okay for me to come out now.  This is where I’ve been all these years: tucked away under the wings of a Heavenly Angel.  I appreciated the silent years and now the Almighty God in Heaven wants to bless me because I got all A’s on my report card.  Also His Son, Jesus, visited me in my home early one morning while I was taking a bath.  I dedicate these Wonderful Orders Reaching Destined Statements (WORDS) to my eagle because he catches me when I fall.  Uumm, the lights are out in this world.  It’s so dark here.  I didn’t realize Planet Earth was so dark.  Oh Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, please turn the lights back on so we can see.  It’s too dark here!  Oh Lamb of God, we promise to live holy and righteous and obey your word.  We love you and we need you.  Can anyone tell me what’s happened to our world?  Before there was chaos, there was order.  Before there was sickness and disease, there was eternal life.  And before there was the Earth, there was and forever will be the Almighty God in Heaven.  It’s all about God’s timing.  And in these last evil days let’s not panic for a change has to come for the betterment of mankind.  Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “If your product is desired by many, the world will make a beaten path to your doorway.”  So I say madam, what’s your product?  Are you selling honesty or deception?  Are you with us or against us?  In one of Pastor Crowne’s sermons one Sunday morning, he stated, “After today, there’s gonna be some unexplained phenomena.”  I feel I’m involved in some type of metamorphosis.  The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said every situation and every circumstance that happens in our lives is pre-destined.  Mannnnnnnnnnnn!!  This is deep!! I remember clearly the events that took place in my life.  I have to go back in time to feed you understanding.  By the way, I’m hungry.  I’m always hungry.  Let me introduce you to a real-life journey: It was 1975.  I was four years old.  My immediate family consisted of momma, my sister Vedra, daddy and me.  Daddy was in the United States Army and his post of duty was Hawaii.  Hawaii was a beautiful place with fresh, clean oceans, miles of white sand and gorgeous tropical foliage.  We lived in an apartment overlooking a swimming pool.  One summer day, momma and Vedra went shopping and I stayed home with daddy.  While in our apartment, daddy decided to have lunch.  He ate a bologna sandwich and a Budweiser.  I know it was a Budweiser because now that I am old enough to associate things together, I remember the beer can was white with red writing on it.  Anyway, daddy finished eating lunch and decided to take me swimming.  We went downstairs to the swimming pool.  At first, daddy had me in the pool with him, but I was so scared I began crying.  I was scared of all that water and I didn’t know how to swim.  I was crying so loud, daddy sat me on the edge of the pool.  A few minutes later, two little Hawaiian girls swam towards daddy and he took them on his back while he swam in the water.  I remained on the edge of the pool looking at daddy.  It was a sunny day and there were so many people around the pool and in the water.  Maybe about ten to fifteen minutes later, the same two little Hawaiian girls ran towards me and said daddy wasn’t coming back up.  They said he was lying on his back at the bottom of the pool and was not moving at all.  Then I looked around for daddy.  No sign of him.  All of a sudden, people seemed alarmed and began to gather around the pool looking at the bottom of the pool.  I knew something was wrong.  Then I saw a tall Black woman with long black hair jump in the pool.  She tried to pull daddy out of the pool but he was too heavy.  She swam back to the surface to call for help.  Daddy was about 6’2” tall and weighed about 200 lbs. Daddy was built.  Finally, the tall Black woman plus two Black men pulled daddy from the bottom of the pool.  The tall Black woman began CPR on daddy but it was too late.  His spirit was gone to Heaven and his body laid there lifeless as I stood next to a wall at this time looking at daddy.  Minutes later, I saw momma and Vedra running down the sidewalk.  They saw daddy lying there lifeless and began to cover their faces with their hands crying huge tears.  Momma stretched her hands out for me to come near her. I did and looked up into her eyes. They were filled with tears. Pretty soon, a crowd gathered around daddy and covered their faces with their hands feeling sorrow for momma, Vedra and me.  It was total silence and sadness in the air. I shall remember this day in 1975 for the rest of my life.  Soon afterwards, momma, Vedra and me boarded a plane back to th
