''It
was
supposed
that
lost
spirits
were
roving
about
everywhere
in
the
invisible
air,
waiting
for
children
to
find
them
if
they
searched
long
and
patiently
enough..The
Spirit
sang
its
spiritual
song
for
the
child
to
memorize
and
use
when
calling
upon
the
spirit
guardian
as
an
adult''...
''Mourning
Dove''...Salish.
''Top
Of
The
Morning
to
You''..
Before
the
Sun
Crests
the
Morning
Sky,..and
the
'Veil
of
Darkness'
is
gone,..Go
Grab
that
''Cup
O'
Joe''
and
go
Jump
into
Your
Favorite
''Cushion''....Were
going
deep
into
the
''Fear
Factor''
this
Morning!
''Fear!'',..are
You
kidding?...
Growing
up,..Do
You
remember
those
''Dark
Shadows''
''Creeping''
across
Your
bedroom
wall
at
night?
Ever
walk
by a
''Cemetery''
and
run
from
the
''Creepy
Things''
that
were
reflecting
off
the
''Headstones!''
''Thunder
and
Lightning!!!..That
will
do
most
anybody
in
too!
As
kids,..We
grew
up
with
those
''awful''
''Monsters
and
Ghosts''...Why
the
''Boogie-Man''
lived
in
My
Closet!..No
Kidding!
Bad
''Report
Card?...Remember
the
..''Wait
till
Your
Dad
comes
home!''
We're
''Adults''
now
and
Don't
''Fear''
nothing
right?!...
Hmmm,..lets
not
mention
getting
a
''Ticket'',..or
losing
your
wallet!
Misplaced
your
car
keys?...Late
to
work!...Fear
is
still
part
of
Our
Life...''Spiders'',..spiders
do
me
in,..although
it
runs
a
close
second
to
''Blood''
work
at
the
Doctors!
We
All
have
''Spiders'',..I
mean
'Skeletons'
in
the
closet
only
We
know
about
and
will
not
tell
anyone
about!..
In
War,...We
Fear
getting
wounded,..getting
''killed''...it
happens
only
to
the
''next
guy''
What
does
the
Bible
say
about
Life
and
its
''Misfortunes?''..
Job-2:10...''Shall
we
indeed
accept
good
from
God,
and
shall
we
not
accept
adversity?''
We
must
remember
that
''With
the
Good,..comes
the
Bad''...The
Fear
in
the
'Unknown'
is
what
makes
it
so
hard
to
accept!
Jesus,..If
You
recall,...He
cried
''Tears
of
Blood''
on
the
mount
when
He
realized
that
soon
His
''Suffering
and
Death''
was
to
be
put
upon
Him,..Fear?...He
was
''man''
and
knew
what
was
coming,..''All
the
Sin's
of
the
World''
did
He
Bear
upon
Himself''
He
even
asked
that
''This
Cup
Might
be
Taken
from
Me''
in a
'Weak
Moment'....Do
You
ever
have
a
''Weak
Moment?''
Funny
thing
the
Bible,..it
covers
Every
Emotion,..every
part
of
Life,..every
event
or
possible
thing
that
can
happen
to
us
as
people...Fear
being
one
of
them,.and
yet,..Jesus
turns
to
His
Faith
and
the
''Word
of
God''
His
Father
to
find
Peace
and
Endure
All
Things...
2
Corinthians-1:9...''We
had
the
sentence
of
death
in
ourselves,
that
we
should
not
trust
in
ourselves
but
in
God
who
raises
the
dead''
Isaiah-41:10..''Fear
not
for
I am
with
you,..Do
not
be
dismayed,
I am
your
God,..I
will
strengthen
you,..I
will
help
you,..
I
will
uphold
you
with
My
victorious
right
hand.''
''Fear''
of
Dying,..Who
among
the
Living
has
ever
''Returned''
from
the
Dead,..Mohammed,..Buddah,..Self
claimed
prophets?
Far
as I
know,..Jesus
''Beat
Death''..
Arose
again
as
the
''Old
Testament''..Prophets
said
would
happen,..As
God
Almightygave
in
His
Word..His
Promise!..
Fear?....it
is
of
the
''Unknown''...Let
Jesus
through
His
Word
by
His
Father
guide
You
through
it!..
''Spiders''...Time
to
get
out
the
''Bug
Spray!''...
My
''Cup
O'
Joe''
is
gone,..Time
to
''Surrender
for
another''...But!..I
leave
You
with
these
''Parables''...
''JESUS-
Predicted
by
Prophets...
Witnessed
by
the
Apostles..
Verified
thru
History''..
''When
Your
outlook
is
blurred
by
problems,..Focus
on
Christ''
''Let
Your
Faith
overcome
Your
''Fear''..God
will
turn
Your
Worry
into
Worship!''..
Till
next
week,..Sherrie
and
I
hold
All
of
You,..Our
Warriors
and
''Our
Country''
in
Prayer...
May
We
Always
be
able
to
say,..''May
God
Bless
America''..for
it
is
''In
God
We
Trust''...

Frank..the
''Preacher''..and
