I don’t have to worry about the anxieties of life
because all I need and more my God ample supply
I wake up early every morning waiting to see what my Father has for me to do
Some days He disciples me revealing my sins for me to see
Some days He just simply sat with me quietly just loving me
Some days He gives me ideas, so I spend the day creating what pleases me
Some days He doesn’t tell me exactly what to do, so I rejoice in just waiting
Some days He sends me to someone who needs the love he has put into my heart
At the end of each day He looks me in the eyes—and just nods
I spend most of my time with my God, my Father
No disrespect he is “My Right Hand Man”
I love to be discipline, to be set straight by my Father
Even though some times it is real painful
But once I have been set on the straight path, once I have been informed
I rejoice because in my Father and his son Jesus I have learned to trust
When I lie down at night I can sleep in peace
because I have spent the day with my Father and my savior Jesus Christ
When I go to bed at night I say to my Father Jehovah and his son Jesus
NIGHT! NIGHT!
Then I sleep like a baby while they watch over me
After sleeping like a baby I get up and follow God’s plans for my day. I do not hear God’s voice. God put his thoughts in my mind and heart and I put them on paper. I have done this for 25 years and I know that God’s purpose for me is to show what a personal relationship with him can be like. This is my experience I am not saying that others should experience a personal relationship with God the same as I do. I respect and appreciate how God deals with each individual as he pleases. I do not claim to know how God will deal with each individual. All I claim to know is that God does indeed communicate with me!
The Bible puts it this way:
“For this is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel after those days,” is the utterance of Jehovah. “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people.”
“And they will no more teach each one his companion and each one his brother, saying, ‘KNOW Jehovah!’ for they will all of them know me, from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them,” is the utterance of Jehovah. “For I shall forgive their error, and their sin I shall remember no more.” (Jeremiah 31:33)
I recognize that these Scriptures are directed specifically to the Israelites but I know that Gods speaks to me in this way also. I speak (pray) to God and he informs me by putting his thought into my mind and heart and I write our conversations on paper and in time what I write on paper materialize in the physical or natural. It is easy for me to tell someone that God told me to do something. My saying God told me—means very little unless I am able to give tangible evidence. I am convinced beyond any doubt that God communicates with me directly by putting his thoughts in my mind and heart because I have been given so much tangible evidence over the past 25 years.
Over the past 25 years I have progressively allowed God to direct my life more and more each day. After 25 years I am able to have all of my daily activities dictated to me by means of the Holy Spirit. This is not because I am more righteous or have special might, to the contrary!
My childhood was one of total dependence on my grandparents. I was not taught to do anything for myself. My grandparents took care of my every need and in most cases all my desires. For years I thought my grandparents caused me a great harm by not teaching me how to live in the real world. And if indeed God had not chosen to show me undeserved kindness and personally direct my life I would have suffered unimaginable harm! So was it “good” or “bad” that I was made to be dependent? I do not know. All that matters to me is that God brought me to a place where I needed and wanted divine direction.
From my early years I came to appreciate that for me personally it was not “bad” to be dependant. I realized that if my grandmother determined that I couldn’t do something she would do it for me. When I was unable to do what she told me to do she would say:
“You don't know how to pour piss out of a pot”? In my literal mind I wondered why would anyone want to pour piss out of a pot. You see we didn’t have indoor plumbing and used chamber pot to do our “business” in. I looked at that chamber pot filled with “piss” and some times “# 2” and wondered why in the world would anyone want to learn how to empty that pot! Needless to say I never tried to learned!
My life was slow and easy and I had no desire to change it. For 20 years someone had done my thinking for me, therefore, it was easy for religion to take control of my dependant spirit. Therefore, I welcome religion with open arms! For 23 years I was completely and totally controlled by religion. At the end of 23 years my life was in such chaos until I entertained the thought of killing myself. So at the threshold of death and the brink of insanity my Heavenly Father rescued me and sat me on the straight path!
Doing what God tells me to do always have results; nothing he tells me to do is in vain.
The following is an insert from my writings SHOWING what my relationship with God LOOK like:

You were told that the beads you strong represented people. It is time to get rid of people that influence or control you. Abraham (the one you want to be like) was told to leave his countrymen you too must follow his example. All connections you make to people from now on will be spiritual and for a specific purpose. It is time to make a change. Store away the beads; they are impressive but void of wisdom.
Do not hurry!
You now have space for that special trunk throw the old one away if you like.
You can get a new TV and case. Actually you can get anything you want but it must be NEW. Get ride of everything that you do not love.
What do you want?
1. I want a new head board.
2. I want to redo my bed room.
BV1
Do not try to save anymore money USE it.
I want to use my brown crazy quilt and my paintings.
I want a new computer desk.
Today I want a stake, and a baked sweet potato
(I got a stake and cooked it and it was so tuff I couldn’t eat it. I don’t want to cook anything)!

“There is no need to regret or look back. If you had not experienced exactly what you have you would not be prepared for use by your Father. The loads you were freed from was man’s loads and not God’s loads. Jesus said his load is light. If you had never carried a heavy man made load you would not know or choose to carry Jesus’ light load.
For 40 years you carried a heavy load that man put on you. Never again will that happen.
For the past six years you have carried a light load, never again will you allow anything or anyone to load you down.
You have no heavy loads to carry and do not try to carry the heavy loads of others.
Store away the things the Holy Spirit tells you to and put the things others can use on the table in the lobby and throw out what the Holy Spirit directs you to throw out.
I have got down to things I need and want but I feel that I still have too much.
BV1 (Holy Spirit)
“Yes you do and since you cannot know what you are to use in the future allow the Holy Spirit to tell you what to throw away.
This is what you should do:
1. Keep all the beads because they represent people and will be used in a project.
2. Do not create anymore art now—use the ideas you have for the few frames you have.
3. Throw out the frames you will not use under your bed. See if your grandson can use the brown frames.
4. Keep the sterling silver.
Once you put away the beads you will be able to see the difference.
Do not rush learn from the process!
You lived in a “BLACK AND WHITE WORLD” from 1985 until 1993 and a “COLORFUL CREATIVE WORLD” from 1993 until 2009. Now it is time for a change. Now is time for you to make another change. You followed God’s directions in 1993 do the same now.
BUY NOTHING SECONDHAND DON’T EVEN GO LOOKING!
FIRST—change the book shelves. Clear it out first and put what you do not need into storage.
SECOND—put away the beads. Do not throw them away or give them away—you know what you are supposed to do with them later. No do not store away the unstrung beads.
THIRD—find a chest to go behind the chair in the living room—find one with storage.
Try furniture outlet stores and sales.
FOURTH—throw out or give away dresser, T.V. and T.V. cabinet.
Buy T.V. and stand and replace with anything you like for the space.
FIFTH—buy computer desk and chair. Give away what you have now.
SIXTH—buy small chest
SEVENTH—buy or make head board for bed. Make brown pillows.
Paint cheese boxes brown. Buy brown rug. Put us new pictures. Create new window treatment. EVERYTHING MUST BE NEW!!!
The only thing that you absolutely must do is to NOT buy anything used or secondhand! There is a completely different mentality in buying secondhand stuff and new stuff.
Don’t rush!
Look around you now and decide for yourself what to do in the living room. The issue is not about taking away your free will. The purpose is to teach you how to be specific in following the lead of the Holy Spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in transforming the bedroom and your free will in transforming the living room. Observe the difference.
You judge people negatively who spend a lot of money on things. Stop judging at all! STOP BEING CHEAP!!!
There was a time when you were attracted to gold. Man has made gold expensive, but did not God give you all the gold jewelry that you desired? Get your gold out and wear it and see that wearing what man says or labor as expensive will affect how you feel about yourself.

Make plans for this week
Ask grandson to get boxes
Monday—finish pillows
Tuesday—can be a free day

You were told to make a change in the natural, now you are experiencing a change in the spiritual. You were told that the beads represent the people in your life—as you are putting away the beads you were symbolic or figurative putting away or separating from the people that God do not want in your life at this time. Once you finish putting the beads away that the Holy Spirit induces you to put away you will have only the beads that you will use to embellish the clothing you wear. And so it will be with the people in your life. You will understand later.

The process is what I get a high on. I have an addiction to seeing God’s Holy Spirit working or operating. I have spent the past 25 years experiencing the results of watching what God says to me come to pass!

Over a period of about 2 months I made a complete transformation of my bedroom. Doing that period of time God continued to write detail instructions on my heart and mind as to what I should do and not do in the transformation of my bedroom.

I realize that there is nothing unusual or supernatural whit redecorating a room. But those 2 months I spent following divine directions from my heavenly Father was much like the time a child spends with their earthly human father. The more time I spend with God the more REAL he is to me and the closer I get to him and the better I get to know him!
I can vividly see the time I spent with my grandfather. It was the time that I spent alone with my grandfather that made me part of him. He is with me today more than he was 52 years and 10 months when he died. I remember his strong hand reaching down to lift me upon the back of his untamed stallion and taking me for a wild ride. I had absolutely no fear of being harmed because I trusted my grandfather to take care of me. It is mystifying to me how similar my experiences with God are to some of my experiences with my grandfather.
I remember having a dream about God taking me in his arm and taking me above the world and showing me his creative power. The dream gave me a similar felling to what I felt when my grandfather would take me for a ride on his horse named “Buck”( my grandfather called the horse buck because they said: “That horse if a bucking fool”). Couldn’t anyone ride Buck but my grandfather and my uncle Ed. (And of course me, in my grandfather’s arms)!
The times that are outstanding in my mind of being with my grandfather were being lifted up high. He was always lifting me up in his arms, upon his horse or upon his wagon. When I am with my Heavenly Father I always feel like I am being lifted up in mind, heart, spirit, character, confidence, self-worth, self-esteem, self-respect, self-love and all that is needed for me to become a fully functioning human being.
When I was twenty my husband decided to get religion and told me I would be getting it too. We started to study the Bible but what I learned did not impress me. I came to feel obligated and duty-bound to God. I reconciled in my mind to spend the rest of my life being a servant of God because he is worthy. In my mind I became a slave to God but not in my heart. I didn’t know God I just worked for him.
For 23 years I worked for God and felt like a slave. I had and have no objection to serving God or being his slave for indeed he is more than worthy! But I felt something was missing. I wanted God to feel about me the way the Bible said he felt about Abraham. I wanted more than anything, more than life to be God’s friend. I wanted God to speak to me personally as he did Abraham and other humans I read about in the Bible.
What I experience does not originate in my mind. I read a Scripture or a story in the Bible and it becomes my own experience. There are certain Scriptures in the Bible that I cannot get out of my mind. The first Scripture that captured my heart was the Scripture that makes reference to a man name Abraham being God’s friend. I never had any interest in religion and knew next to nothing about God. But the thought of being able to communicate with God, to have a personal relationship with God, to be God’s friend was the greatest brain wave I have ever experienced. I was hooked and became a junkie or addicted to the idea!
The two Scriptures below are the very first Scriptures that I made my own experience:
“And [so] the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God’s will in thought and deed), and he was called God’s friend.” (James 2:23).

My style of dress was an issue in my religious circle because I designed and made my clothes and they were too different and too fancy. I dressed down trying to keep peace. But I felt uncomfortable and even guilty because my style of dress was sometimes referred to as “worldly”. I repressed my real person for 33 years but in 1993 God told me:
LV1 (Holy Spirit)
God told you that you are like a peacock bird who’s tail has been cut and bound and not allowed to grow. In the hand of man you were programmed to be what they wanted you to be. Since 1-6-85 you have been in the hand of your Heavenly Father and you can SEE the results. Fill your mind and heart with what you can see and not what humans try to tell you. God has told you and shown you what he see when he look at you and you are no longer concern with human’s opinions of your spiritual person or your physical person. Accept into your life only those who see what God see when he look at you. Do not be afraid to let your Father cloth you.<
Remember:
Also, on the matter of clothing, why are YOU anxious? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; 29 but I say to YOU that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 30 If, now, God thus clothes the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather clothe YOU, YOU with little faith? 31 So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ 32 For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For YOUR heavenly Father knows YOU need all these things. (Matthew 6:28-32)
The two outfits below is just the beginning.
EMBRACE all the glory that your Heavenly Father will reflect upon you.
In 1993 I created this outfit from a curtain I bought at Goodwill for a few dollars. It was off white, I tie-dyed it. On 6-7-06 I found this picture of a peacock and thought that my designer and this bird's designer could be the same designer! I realize that I really do not have to be anxious about what I am to put on or anything else! Praise giving of thanks to God
Almighty!
If God had not put in my heart and mind that I was like a peacock and if I had seen these birds first and then made the outfits I would not be so impress with my daily life experiences. My life is so exhilarating! I love my life; I love every breath I take! I cannot believe that I once hated my life and prayed to die even though I was "serving" God. This is just a mere instance of what I experience in my constant walk with God and his son Jesus! These are tangible manifestation of my benefits of having a personal relationship with God beyond religion. There is nothing in the natural that can make known what I experience in the spiritual. But perhaps yon can appreciate the gifts and wisdom that I bring from the spiritual.
My very first step beyond religion was to find my true identity. I tried to find my true identity in my religious work and what people told me about myself. Until 1-6-85 I had no idea of who I was and knew not how I would ever find out who I was. On that date the Holy Spirit directed me to pick up the bible translation: “THE BIBLE IN LIVING ENGLISH” and directed me to read Psalm 139.
I read the following:
Jehovah, you have sounded me and know me,
You know my sitting down and my standing up,
You far away are aware of what I have in my mind.
You itemize my traveling about and my lying down to rest,
and are familiar with my courses.
When a work is not on my tongue,
There you, Jehovah, know the whole of it.
You hem me in behind and before
and lay your hand on me
The knowledge is too mysterious for me;
It is inaccessible; I am not capable of it.
Where shall I go from your spirit?
And where shall I get away from your face?
If I go up in the sky you are there;
And let me make my bed in the realm of death, there you are.
Let me lift the wings of dawn
And alight at the back of the west,
Even there your hand will be leading me
and your right hand grasping me.
And do I say “I will just have darkness shroud me
And night enclose me,
Even darkness does not make it too dark for you
And night is light as day;
The darkness and the light are alike.
For it was you that built my vitals,
were weaving me together in my mother’s body
I acclaim you that you are fearfully mysterious,
Mysterious are your works, and my soul knows it well.
My bones were not unknown to you
as I was made in secret,
stitched in and underground place.
Your eye saw my germs,
and they wee all registered in your book;
many days they were shaped,
and not one of them was lost.
And what a stupendous thing to me
Are the objects of your concern, Jehovah!
how multitudinous is their sum!
I count them—they outnumber the sand;
I make and end—I am still at you.
If you are killing a wrong-doer, God,
And bloodstained men, turn aside from me;
Those who perversely disobey you,
futilely set themselves up against you,
Do I not hate those who hate you, Jehovah!
I hate them with utmost hate;
they have become enemies of mine
search me Deity, and know my heart,
test me and know my ideas,
And see if I have in me a course that leads to pain,
and lead me on the course that last forever.
After I read all the words of Psalms 139 I knew where in lie the answer to who I am and from that moment until forever I shall not look to or trust human beings to tell me who and what I am! The moment I read the last two verses of Psalms 139 my heart grabbed on to those words like a hungry baby to its mother’s breast and refuses to let go until it is full. I am not full yet!!!
I hold on to these words:
“search me Deity, and know my heart,
test me and know my ideas,
And see if I have in me a course that leads to pain,
and lead me on the course that last forever.”
In the past 25 years my Heavenly Father has shown me what was in my heart that caused me pain both physical and emotionally. And he has indeed leads me on a course with him that last forever! I have enough tangible evidence to tell and write about for the rest of my life. But the spiritual benefits that I have received from being in a personal relationship with God beyond religion cannot be known by the imperfect human mind.
I make no attempt to do so. All I want is to share the wisdom that God allows to pass through my mind and heart.
A few months ago I was referred to as: “visual artist, spoken poet, author” I kind of like those words, they have a nice little ring to them and I will accept them. But to tell the truth I am God’s little puppet name Thingamajig! I have a little story about that; I have a little story about everything that I am. But just think of what a puppet does.
One way in which God uses me as a puppet is to record poetry.
God recorded this poem in my heart and mind telling me one way to share my wisdom.
“God’s Little Seedling”
The Great King of all kings gave one of his little seedlings to a beautiful young woman and man. But they had to give the little seedling back because they were too young to take care of it.
Then the Great King of all kings gave that little seedling to an old man and woman. They had to give the little seedling back because they were too old to take care of it.
Even again the Great King of all kings gave his little seedling to a great and famous man. But he had to travel all over the world and didn’t have time to care for the little seedling, so he too had to give the little seedling back to the Great King of all kings.
Next the Great king of all kings gave his little seedling to a group of people to take care of it. But the little seedling was too complicated and the group didn’t know how to care for the little seedling. They too had to give the little seedling back to the Great King of all kings.
The Great King of all kings said he would try just once more to find someone to care for his little seedling. This time he gave his little seedling to a strong and powerful businessman. This time the Great King of all kings gave the little seedling special abilities to be used by the strong and powerful businessman but he refused to accept the little seedling.
So the Great King of all kings said he would take care of his little seedling himself. The little seedling grew well under the care of the Great King of all kings into a large tree that produced fruit for the whole world. Just one little leaf from this large tree reflected God’s glory.
This is one way in which God has revealed to me who I am, what he created me to do, my true identity. God gave me images and poems (in that order) that make it possible for me to see and know who I am.
Am I a tree???
Did God really create me to be a tree???
I must be a tree!!!
Otherwise why are these branches
growing from me???
It is mind-boggling to me how God can tell me who I am or who I will become and I feel that—“I AM”! From the moment God referred to me as a tree I begin to feel like a tree and started referring to myself as a tree. Then I started to research the word “tree” in the Bible. I became like a little child praying and pretending to be a tree. Then the images and words came forth from my childlike free mind. In time I became the child Jesus said I must become to enter the Kingdom of God:
“….Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiven], you can never enter the kingdom of the heaven [at all].” (Matthew 18:3) AMPLIFIED
“Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive and accept and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does] positively shall not enter it at all.” (Mark 10:15) AMPLIFIED
I don’t just read the Bible I become a copycat or try to imitate and experience what I read. It is much like looking at a fashion magazine. I love fashion and make and design most of my clothing. Sometime I will buy a fashion magazine and read it or just page through it looking for ideas. Once in a while I will come across an outfit that I have just got to have, so I copy it, I make the outfit. And so it is with the Bible I will read something in the Bible and I have just got to experience it. This is the first Scripture that enslaved me to seeking to be like a tree:
“…his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and com to maturity]. (Psalm 1: 2, 3) AMPLIFIED
I believe that I experience what I do because of my BIG imagination, FULL faith and child like literal approach.
“…and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them”. (Genesis 11: 6) AMPLIFIED
“And the Lord, answered, if you have faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.” (Luke 17: 6) AMPLIFIED
“He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” (Matthew 17: 20). AMPLIFIED
My progressive growth into a mature tree
IF I WAS A TREE
If I was a tree
Would God take care of me
I do believe so
I wouldn’t have to wonder, I would know
Today I’ll become a tree
It is a good thing for me
I’ll stand still
I’ll wait for God’s will
I have never been a tree before
But now I am bound to know
Will God make it rain on me
Will he cause the sun to shine on me
Will he cause me to grow
Will he cause fruit from me to flow
Now that I am a tree how am I to know
Now that I am a tree planted by a stream
Will my hopes become a reality
Do I dare to hope and dream
Now that I am a tree, will God
really take care of me
If I blossom and grow
If my fruit is taken from me
Will God to me give more
Now that I am a tree
I am bound to know
You might ask: why do you want to be like a tree?
In many ways a tree is just like me
I don’t know many by name, but when I get to know them
In many ways we are the same
Like the weeping willow I have been weeping most of my life
But after weeping for most of my life I came to know
the BANYAN, one tree that becomes a forest
The BANYAN belong to the mulberry family, which
includes some 800 species of fig plants.
Its beginning is humble, and so is mine
The BANYAN starts its long life from a seed
contained in the droppings of monkeys, birds, or bats
who have eaten the fruit of the BANYAN
I started my life from a humble unmarried female
who received the humble dropping of the male she love
After being victimized the BANYAN is ready to expand
I too after being victimized is ready to expand
Just like the BANYAN, my roots have dropped down into
the soil and taken root
The BANYAN serves as an umbrella of shade for humans
I desire to do likewise
The tree can live up to 600 years
I desire to live a long and purposeful life
My purpose is to share my experience with the world
I have been waiting for a long time
It sometimes seem as if all my fruits is all in vain
But I ask God to save my fruits from the dirt
I am a dying tree
I am loaded down with so much fruit
it is too heavy, it is killing me
I am hidden away where humans don’t go
I am a tree with much fruit to give, but on one knows it is so
I am a giver
I have been looking
But I cannot find a receiver
I am leaning I am about to fall, I live in dread
because if someone don’t find me and take my fruit
I am weighted down and I will soon be dead
I am a dying tree I don’t know what to do
I prayed to God to send me someone to take my fruit
Did he send you?

Over the past 20 years God has used trees to help you understand who you are.
Again God will use another tree to help you understand what is happening in
your life. This time it is the BONSAI tree.
“Bonsai (pronounced bone-sigh).
Bonsai refers specifically to the training and artistic vision applied to the tree
How are Bonsai kept miniature?
Contrary to some reports, bonsai are not miniaturized by neglect. Quite the opposite! Trees are dwarfed by a combination of techniques. The main methods of dwarfing are planting in a small ceramic pot, foliage pruning, root pruning, and direct exposure to sunlight.
A bonsai is not a genetically dwarfed plant and is not kept small by cruelty in any way. In fact, given an adequate supply of water, air, light and nutrients, a properly maintained bonsai should outlive a full size tree of the same species.
Overall, bonsai are something that are quite personalized and there are no strict rules to abide by if you undertake it merely as a hobby which to gain enjoyment out of. It does not have to be an expensive commitment, but it is a commitment that requires a great amount of time, patience, skill and endurance ( FROM THE INTERNET)
BV1 (Holy Spirit)
Your Heavenly Father put you in a small place for your safety. If God had not hindered your growth you would have grown into something that he did not created you to be. Much like the bonsai tree he has committed himself to controlling your development. He has chosen a small container to put you in and has personalized (modified, tailored, adapted, made to order) you to fulfill his purpose for you.
I do not claim to have special knowledge my knowledge is from my Heavenly Father. All that I have belong to my Heavenly Father. But I do know my purpose. I am an example of a personal relationship with God beyond religion. The past 25 years I have been in the process of fulfilling my God given purpose.
I AM READY!
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for take off. I am going to take you on a flight beyond religion by means of images and poems.
A FLIGHT TO BEYOND RELIGION
Getting beyond religion to God to ME
Is like taking a flight on and air plane
You decide that you want to get to God
You have to find a flight
That is going where you want to go
You find religion or it finds you
It tells you it will take you to God
You have to book the flight
You have to get confirmation
You have to go to the airport
Check yourself and your bags in
You have to take off your shoes, coat, jewelry, and electronic devices
And put them all in containers
You choose the religion of your choice
The religion check you out
And gives you confirmation or it approval
You have to go to its place of worship
Religion check your luggage
to see if you are carrying anything that they disapprove
you have to strip down and reveal yourself to your religious leaders
You have got to go under radar
In order to get on the airplane
You have to go under the radar of the religious leaders
In order to get into their religion
You have got to find the gate
that your plain will we departing from
In religion you have got to
find the click you can fit into
at the appointed time
You are allowed to board the airplane
But you must have a boarding pass
In religion
After gaining approval
You are allowed in
But you must keep the rules
You must put your carry-on bags above your head or below your feet
You buckle your seat belt and wait for take off
Before taking off you are told to turn off all electronic devices
In religion you must put out of sight all bags of faults
You must turn off your thinking ability
and allow your religious leaders to do your thinking
Taking off is a little bumpy and can some times be very bumpy
And the worst possibility is that your plan crashes on take off
In religion the beginning can be very smooth
But the ride can get very bumpy
And if you are not careful you can crash
And end up dead
After a successful take off
When you are some where in mid air
The captain decides to speak personally to you
He tells you that he has turned off the seat belt sign
You may move on the plan but only as long as the seat belt sign is not on
In religion
If your take off is successful
And you find yourself in mid heaven
And God decides to speak to you personally
And he tells you to get off the airplane into his hand
You have just gone beyond religion into God’s own hands
The airplane gets me in the air
with the captain flying the airplane
Without an airplane and a captain
I could not get in the mid-heaven
And so it is with religion
Without religion I would not have gotten to God
The only problem I HAD with religion
Is that after it got me to where I wanted to get (to God)
It demands that I Stay in my seat
And keep my seat belt fasten
When you take an airplane
When you are nearing your destination
The captain tells you to take your seat and fasten your seat belt
and to prepare for landing
and then the air plane, the captain, and crew
take you down slow and easy
Once you have landed
they thank you for flying with them
and invite you to choose them again
They smile at you and say good by
But not so with religion!
Religion seems to wants to keep me strapped in its chair
Not allowing me to unfasten my seat belt
Religion wants to keep me stranded in midair
"TRAPPED IN A BOTTLE"
Our take off was successful
We are flying safety beyond religion
You may unfasten your seat belts
You are free to move about as you please
For snack you will be served

ENJOY!
