Returning Home: This Child's Journey to Light
As I approach 40 years in this world, I am increasingly impressed that I ought to try to write down my personal spiritual journey. I have not seen heaven with my physical eyes. And I have never to my knowledge taken leave of my physical body these 40 years. But I have read the personal words of many ancient and contemporary people who have. And something inside of me (since October 27 2003) undeniably recognizes these experiences as the highest truth. My focus in life is forever changed for the better as a result of the icing my recent awareness has been on the sweet cake of my life. I am extremely grateful to those who have received unusual dispensations of the mercy of Heaven for venturing to share their experiences!

(Help at bottom. At the moment, this wiki is open for editing unless the administrator locks any page. I think this wiki software only allows the single administrator to lock and unlock pages. Another possible method of configuring this wiki is to allow only signed in users to edit all pages. That means no open pages. Anyway, for the moment, I'm not doing anything. But I am thinking I need to change to the Wikipedia software, which is more robust. It will allow both of us to be administrators and protect pages at will. And it has a better future than this software.)

This is an experimental Partisanship area dedicated to Reverence affirming in a Partisanship way a reality of Love Transcendence of this world. This area is currently and tentatively titled God Works Today in the tentative belief that such a title will speak universally to all believers as to the truth that the transcendent, loving, purposeful Omniscience is revealed continually worldwide in personally surprising and undeniable Experience. The intended message is that the experiential affirmation that Humans have a transcendent purpose and destiny that can only be realized within each individual heart and for humanity through seeking and practicing sacrificial love.

1. Little children don't seem to care what I know; they only care about how they feel around me. (2006-05-25)
2. Grant that I may speak in ever softer words, with the tongue of angels, to minister comfort to the weary and troubled around me and glorify thee in power. (2006-05-25)
3. Who has ever coveted a cloud, a rainbow, or a blue sky? (2006-05-26)
4. You are never truly free until you let go. You can tell yourself lies about freedom. You can say, "I will be free when I am rich," "I will be free when I leave my parents or wife," or "I will be free when I die." But the world and the eternites are full of wealthy, single, and disembodied captives. In this world and in eternity, you will only be free the moment you let go of the thing that holds you captive. (2006-06-02)
5. Bruce R. ~McConkie said the Second Coming of the Lord is within the lifetime of every faithful Saint. And perhaps, say I, it is just beyond the lifetime of every living soul. I pray it is not that last day that forces me to reliquish claim on all things worldly. I pray I attain the Kingdom of God by my own free will while the day lasts. (2006-08-07)

I had a dream last night of which I remember many segments. It took place in Texas. One of the segments strengthened my faith. I share that segment below:
There was a movie or a play we attended. It had obscenities, and the entire audience walked out en masse, which heartened me to see. Then the thought occured to me we might ask for a refund. I was pricked in my heart and ashamed, because I knew our Lord had commanded not to seek riches. But I waved my wallet and went to the box office window. I must have received the refund, though that was not in the dream, because the next thing I knew I was flying over all the people.
But in the next scene I had a hard time flying. It seems I was weighed down by something. I didn't realize it at the time, but later in the dream I found out what it was (and in the telling to you I am seeing the connection).
In the next scene I was off to the west of the crowd, and I had one of my boots filled with gold coins. I was not able to fly at all. Some young ruffians approached, presumably to steal the coins. I lay down on the ground and cried aloud, "O, Lord God, bless these boys that they may .... " and I don't remember the rest of the prayer. It was either a plea that they remember their mothers or have mercy on an old man, or remember their Holy Father. In any case, the boys stopped molesting me. It later occurred to me I should have either let them dig in my boot for "whatever you need" or offer them from my boot.
A lady saw what had happened and apparently saw something miraculous in it. She started to call to the people to jubilate about the miracle, when I begged her to consider praying first before spreading the word abroad.
She commenced (to my amazement) to have a Texas Baptist style prayer service with the people right there (and I considered how when the fervor of worship comes over the people they miss the mark so lovingly and sweetly), complete with gospel singing in which I joined.
