I can hear the clock ticking and I have only a few minutes before it strikes midnight. Rush, rush, rush, get it done! Things must be done, time is ticking! Rush, rush, rush! There is no time to waste! Tick, tock, tick, tock, yes the clock is ticking and I can feel the amount of time I have left before midnight, running out. Two minutes left, but I'm nearly done. :)
Good night and God bless!

A Little Thanksgiving Humor
It's that time of year again: Thanksgiving. Simile, be happy, though it's always time to be thankful, this is the time of year we can remind everyone to be so ;). Well, as you may be able to see the playfulness already, I'd like to share a little Thanksgiving humor that I ran across last year on facebook and shared with some of my coworkers whom I knew would appreciate it. Without further ado, here is Take Me to the Greens:

God Loves Obama Dearm
I was going to record this in my journal but hey, since I'm blogging this A.M. why not shoot for it?
It was very quick dream, and only the third I've ever had with him that I can remember: I was at a four-way traffic intersection with my mother going in a certain direction while Obama was going in the opposite. There was a red light I suppose, because a lot of us, or at least I was and Obama was, were out of our cars. There was a lull in the traffic, cars were stopped but I sensed that would not last very long, so under the unction of the Holy Spirit, which I hesitate to say because something like that should not be said very lightly, I shouted to Obama: "God loves you Obama!"
It was almost like I could hear him chuckle, and as he did so did a few others who heard me. After that the light changed and traffic began to move. I remember my mother seeming to be a bit embarrassed and that I had to explain to her it was what I felt the Holy Spirit wanted me to say and do.
I find a few things interesting about the dream. First is that Obama was in town (Newark, NJ) on Monday. Second I'd say the dream had a mostly positive feel, or that Obama had an approving disposition toward me/my actions. In the two previous dreams, I sensed a sort of negative feel from him toward me for one reason or another. Third I am not really an Obama fan (and in fact would have preferred not to have been in Newark at all had there been even the slightest inconvenience in anything I was doing) and thus his positive reception of my actions for the first time out of three dreams I find interesting. The meaning? What could the Lord be saying? I will definitely be inquiring.

The Torah Blessing
Tuesday for noonday service we watched a video with Larry Hutch on The Torah Blessing:
I thought is was quite interesting and that he explained a lot in a very non-threatening way, in a way where one would not feel obligated to defend what they believe.

Clouds of Glory
Last night as I was riding my stationary bike and thinking about this picture, a memory came to me from about 13 years ago when I first came to Newark: walking around this block for the first time by myself, I had visions of violence and murder near this very spot. Over the years I have come to believe that it was the Lord showing me what to pray for and against: to pray against violence and murder in this area.
I was very moved in my spirit while riding my stationary bike because when I saw this sight on Sunday afternoon, I had absolutely no premonition of violence of any sort but was conscious only of glory pouring in through rays of light. Have things changed in Newark that much that the old days of fearing violence have been replaced by shades of light, a "hope and future"? Perhaps it is now, this is the time the Lord, the God of all flesh, is saying to Newark:

The Shemitah and Jefferson Award
Last week or so at the Mission we watched an update by Jonathan Cahn about the Shemitah that I thought to be interesting:
Also I'd like to share a link to an article in the Star Ledger about Pastor Tilly receiving the NJ Governor's Jefferson Award in the area of faith-based services:
Pastor Tilly Giresi's Programs for Newark's Youth Recognized at Jefferson Awards

Kenya Online
Well, so, hey, it's been awhile, so many places to write, so hard to decide where. Well here I am on this blog, Saturday night, 10:15pm scrambling to put something online, but what? Kenya? Shall I put Kenya online tonight? Did I share about Kenya here yet? Going there for two weeks at the end of August? Wow! Incredible trip, blew my mind, check out the video I made of the trip:
Yes, that was my trip, has been awhile since I watched the video myself, but yes, that was my two week experience in 6:26 minutes. Why talk about Kenya tonight? Well I was immersed in the country of Kenya tonight at a fundraiser for Harbingers Ministry which is based out of Kenya. The House of Mercy is not directly related to Harbingers per say, but the children seen clapping and greeting you in the beginning were gathered by a lady named Rose who was once under Harbingers and sponsored by Pastor Tilly. Kind of complicated but not really. Well that's it for now, still so much to do tonight and so little time before midnight is knocking at the door. Blessings!
