Reviews For Nowhere Man
Name: Gabriel (Signed) · Date: February 24, 2018 7:42 · For: Chapter 1
This was so different! Nelya!
I love the Beatles! But I only knew their music through my Mum who was THE biggest fan. Her favorite was George Harrison.
I know you loved the Beatles just as much if not more. Did you have to do a lot of research to write this fic, or did you already know the details of Beatles' musical history etc? I'm asking because it looks as if you've done alot of background work that not everyone knows about, their lives as well as their music. I know an avid fan would probably know more about the group than anyone else, but I was just curious because it really shows.
Sorry. I hope I made sense above.
I especially loved Maglor's many friendships through the centuries with other famous and legendary musicians and artists. My favorite Leonardo Da Vinci. Such a genius.
The end part of the chapter got me. I felt so sad that Maglor wanted this to be the end of his life. Don't get me wrong, I was happy that he had found happiness finally in his long life, its just having him disappear from this world after so long, I feel its such a great loss to all. :(
Such a wonderful read!
Author's Response: I must confess I didn't have to do much research other than pin down some dates as far as the rumors and which album they were working on. I've read enough about them that I knew which real life names made sense to use. I did have to do some research on contact lenses, to make sure they were around back then--they were, so that tidbit worked. I would love to write more about Maglor through the ages. Homer, Leonardo and Mozart seemed like obvious choices--I can find resonances to him in each of them. It is a great loss at the end. But this last life was so good, so positive, with him finding inspiration, friends and love. I can see how he would be devastated to try to start again. He's ready to go home. Now I wonder about his half elven children though!

What a great idea!!!! I'm a fan too:) Lovely- in particular I liked the image of him helping Mozart with Requiem- amazing piece, and his ;friend, Ravel'. Love that smattering of great names- and Jane Asher's hair. Nice ending- cheerful end for Maglor.
Author's Response: Thanks Ziggy! I'm quite tempted to do a Maglor through the Ages bit. I can see him being such an influence in the Iliad, the Odyssey, the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides. The wrath of Achilles, the love of Achilles and Patroclus, the wily inventiveness of Odysseus, the honor or Hector. The tragedy of Antigone and the brutal fate of Orestes. The musical influences, the artists.

Just spotted the ridiculous spelling mistake in my last review, obviously I meant Florence...!
Author's Response: I knew what you meant!!
Name: Narya (Signed) · Date: February 20, 2018 8:03 · For: Chapter 1
I love this!! What a fantastic idea, taking a real conspiracy theory and putting this twist on it. I love the sweeping tour of what Maglor did up to this point - particularly attached to the idea of him in Renaissance Florescent. Into the headcanon it goes! The relationship with Jane was really touching - that respect, but tempered by the fact that she reminded him of Maedhros. Love all the little Silm touches too, with Maglor constantly being reminded of his family dynamic. Wonderful :-)
Author's Response: Thanks Narya! I'm so glad you do! It brought two of my loves together and the "Paul is dead " narrative really lent itself to this idea. The concept of Maglor through time fascinates me. There is no way I can imagine he didn't spend time in Ancient Greece--from the sculptures that make me think of Nerdanel, to the astronomy and math, the architecture but most definitely the epic stories and plays. Don't you see echoes of the Silm characters in the Iliad? It hits me. The Odyssey too, not to mention snippets from Antigone and the tragedy of Orestes. And he most definitely was in Italy during the Renaissance--and of course he found Leonardo! Leonardo's notebooks and inventions and research and writing--they all make me think of Fëanor. And of course the composers in later years--music where he expressed himself best. I liked the dynamic of the Beatles and his lost brothers--so many parallels there. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. I'd love to explore Maglor through the ages more someday.

V. C. Morris Gift Shop, 1948
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948, the V. C. Morris Gift Shop has connections to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Wright was first contacted about designing the museum in 1943, but it took until 1959 before it was completed.
In the meanwhile, V.C. Morris wanted to renovate a bare-bones 1911 warehouse on San Francisco's Maiden Lane to house a gift shop. Wright took on the commission, experimenting with a multi-level design around a central atrium. In fact, the Morris Gift Shop gave Wright a chance to refine his ideas and build his first spiral ramp.
The building's distinctive arched brickwork was intended to lure passers-by into the shop's airy interior, accomplishing that while rejecting the traditional concept of store windows. The facade is simple but striking and its look changes with the light. Removing every other brick created a vertical grille to the left of the arch, which is backed by recessed lights.
Matt Taylor writes about it and his experience working across the street and watching people pass by: " They would be walking along the Lane and suddenly stop and look at the large massive brick wall of the front. This wall is unbroken except for an arch at one end of the building. The walker would walk to the arch, peer in - and here was the surprise - find themselves already "in" the environment before opening the door. Usually, they would walk in, and - usually - come out a half hour later with a package under their arms."
Once inside, you'll see a circular central area, flanked by an ascending spiral ramp, circular openings for displays cut into its ramp. At the top of the ramp, you'll be close to the suspended light fixtures that look almost like bubbles floating in the air.
The shop is the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in the city of San Francisco and is also recognized by the American Institute of Architects as one of seventeen Wright buildings that best represent his contribution to American culture.Continue to 2 of 3 below.

More About the V.C. Morris Gift Shop - and More of California's Wright Sites
For many years, the building was occupied by the Xanadu Gallery. They welcomed visitors when they were open, but they moved out in the summer of 2015 and owner Marsha Handley sold the building to a new owner whose portfolio includes Los Angeles' landmarked Bradbury Building.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle reporting in February 2016, the building has been empty since then. The city is working to expand its landmark designation to protect original elements of the interior.Continue to 3 of 3 below.

What You Need to Know About the V.C. Morris Gift Shop Building
The former gift shop is at
140 Maiden Lane
San Francisco, CA (near Union Square)
The building still serves the purpose for which Wright designed it, luring in both architecture aficionados and shoppers.
You can see some nice black-and-white photos and drawings here.
More of the Wright Sites
The V.C. Morris Gift Shop is one of eight Wright designs in the San Francisco area, including two of his most important works. Use the guide to Frank Lloyd Wright in the San Francisco area to find all of them.
The shop is also among the 17 Wright buildings named his most important works by the American Institute of Architecture, three of which are in California. The others are the Hollyhock House in Los Angeles and the Hanna House in Palo Alto.
Wright's work isn't all in the San Francisco area. He also designed nine structures in the Los Angeles area. Use the guide to Wright Sites in Los Angeles to find out where they are. You'll also find several houses, a church, and a medical clinic in some of the most unexpected places. Here's where to find Wright sites in the rest of California.
More to See Nearby
For a contrast in retail design, compare the shop to the Apple Store nearby on Union Square. It's an open construction with a grand mezzanine, seamless glass and glass-fiber ceiling panels backed by thousands of tiny LEDs to create "the softest form of light there is," as Stefan Behling of architecture firm Foster + Partners called it.
You'll find examples of Victorian style architecture all over San Francisco, including the famous Painted Ladies of Alamo Square. Other sights with particular architectural interest include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the deYoung Museum and Renzo Piano's Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, and the Transamerica Building.

Ticks are showing up earlier this year. Here's how to protect yourself.
Kansans may be pulling more ticks off themselves, their children and their pets earlier than usual because of the weather.
"It's not unusual to have ticks in Kansas," said Matthew McKernan, an ornamental horticulture agent for Sedgwick County. "What is unusual is our weather pattern this spring. We went from a late cold to a hot summer-like weather."
That drastic weather change combined with recent rainfall has led to a quick profusion of plant growth, K-State Research and Extension said in a release. Those plants provide the perfect habitat for ticks.
"In my experience this is the earliest we've had tick issues," said Raymond Cloyd, a Kansas State University entomology professor, in the release.
While it is not known if there are more ticks than usual, the number of tick-borne illnesses are on the rise, both nationally and in Kansas.
Nationwide, the number of reported tick-borne diseases more than doubled in the past 13 years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported earlier this month.
In Kansas, the number increased nearly 40 percent last year, according to Kansas Department of Health and Environment data.
After 245 reported cases of tick-borne illness in the state in 2016, the number grew to 339 in 2017. The count includes cases that met confirmed and probable case definitions of Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia and ehrlichiosis.
The increase last year came after a mild 2015-16 winter that gave ticks an opportunity "to emerge early increasing the risk of acquiring tick-borne diseases," the KDHE said in a March newsletter.
There were 257 reported cases in 2015 and 212 the year before. Ten cases have been reported so far this year.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever accounted for much of the increase last year and nearly two-thirds of all reported tick-borne diseases in Kansas, which is good news for people who eat red meat.
The CDC reports the lone star tick, whose bites may make you allergic to red meat, transmits tularemia and ehrlichiosis — not Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Cases of those two diseases decreased in the past two years.
One Wichita area woman became allergic to red meat five years ago after a bite from a lone star tick. The condition is a reaction to the blood of non-primates transmitted to humans through tick bites.
There were 39 cases of Lyme disease in Kansas last year, the KDHE reported.
The best prevention for tick-borne diseases is to prevent tick bites, the CDC reports.
McKernan, who said he has had several ticks crawl up his pant legs so far this spring, said the Sedgwick County extension office has been getting "quite a few questions in recent weeks" about ticks.
The best way to keep ticks off your property is to keep your lawn mowed and reduce unmanaged areas where weeds can flourish, the K-State Research and Extension release said.
"Ticks are slow-crawling, wingless animals," McKernan said. "They really attack people, pets, animals with an ambush-type technique where they crawl up on grass or brush. . . . Ticks themselves are generally never more than a few inches off the ground."
Chemical pesticides should only be used in areas with chronic tick problems, K-State Research and Extension advises.
Avoiding weedy areas can help keep ticks off of you, but McKernan said the easiest and most effective way is to use insect repellent. Wearing light-colored clothing can help you see the dark-colored ticks and get them off before they reach your skin.
If a tick does make it to your skin, remove it immediately to reduce the chances of it transmitting any diseases it may be carrying, he said. You can save the tick and take it with you to the doctor if you have a bad reaction to the bite to help with diagnosing potential illnesses.
"Gently pull it out with tweezers, including the head," the release said. "A tick head broken off and left in the skin can potentially lead to an infection."
Dogs and cats that spend time outdoors should be treated with flea and tick control medicine.
And if you see a possum, you may want to invite it to your yard for a night. They can kill about 5,000 ticks in one season, according to the Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y.

You walk into a gallery, store or even restaurant, and see a painting that grabs your attention. You relate to it. It takes you somewhere else. It makes you feel. But did you also know art has healing benefits.
Scientific studies have shown that art heals by changing a person's physiology and attitude. By looking at artworks or listening to music, a person's brain wave pattern changes. One becomes less stressed and moves into relaxation. Think about the last time you were at an art gallery. How refreshed and calmed did you feel?
Also effected is our nervous system, our hormonal balance and our brain neurotransmitters. With all of our cells in our body instantly reacting to the art or music, our body's physiology is altered and the immune system and blood flow to our organs is increased. After you walked out of that gallery, or spent time in the morning drinking your coffee while gazing at the picture you have hanging on the wall, ask yourself, "do you feel better and ready to face the day with a positive attitude?"
The next time you are having a stressed day, take some time off and go to a local art gallery and enjoy the art. When you walk back out the door, I bet you will find yourself in much better spirits and able to handle whatever it is you need to do.
Our physiology is deeply effected by feelings and emotion. Try to keep a balance of good feelings in close proximity to yourself during the day. Perhaps a small painting on your desk, or larger one on the wall. Maybe a piece of art at home in your kitchen to look at before you walk out the door. Or a calming artwork on the wall of your bedroom to send you off to a peaceful night's rest.
The artwork above is available at Anthm Gallery in Black Mountain. You can see more of my artwork at Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, 121 N. Churton St., Hillsborough, NC; Carlton Art Gallery in Banner Elk, NC; Carolina Creations, New Bern and on my website.

Lost 2½ Stone
Aimee lost 2st 8lb and is maintaining 6 years!
"Soup diets, group diets, fruit diets… whatever the latest fad, I'd been there, done that and still ended up wearing the Xtra Large T-shirt. At one point I lost three stone, only to find every pound gradually creep back up until I was right back where I started – 13 stone and down in the dumps. But that was before I joined Motivation and now, six years later and two-and-a-half stone lighter, I'm a changed woman.
"Everything I'd tried before looked at what I put in my mouth, not what was going on in my head. Motivation was the only one that helped me delve into why I was eating, and once I reached my target weight, I wasn't left to fend for myself: the
maintenance programme
continued to give me the support I needed to stay on track.
"Joining Motivation is the best thing I ever did – well, one of the best. Having my daughter Lilianna three-and-a-half years ago tops everything, but realising I was pregnant also raised some old anxieties, one in particular – would I lose my baby weight afterwards?
"I needn't have worried. The Motivation programme is not a quick-fix diet, it's a way of life. I eat every four hours, which is also what babies need to do, so losing the baby weight was easy. And keeping it off six years later isn't a struggle, because the changes I made in my life are long lasting.
"Lilianna's now three, and I'm already teaching her to make healthy food choices. Girls can develop issues with food from a young age and I'm determined to prevent that happening. Thanks to Motivation, I'm breaking the cycle of bad habits that I grew up with and giving my daughter a solid foundation for life."
*Results achieved by following a tailored programme. Weight loss results may vary from person to person.

The Carlsberg and Heineken consortium is under increased pressure to raise its bid for Scottish & Newcastle ahead of a Takeover Panel deadline and after S&N's chief executive opened the possibility of talks if the pair significantly raised their takeover bid, analysts insist.
S&N chief executive John Dunsmore said in a Christmas letter to staff that he was "not interested in pursuing a course of action that defends S&N's independence at all costs so if the consortium comes up with a thumping great offer then we may have to talk".
In response, Heineken spokeswoman Veronique Schijns reiterated a consortium statement that its current 750 pence per S&N share indicative offer is "full and fair" and that it wants to enter into talks with S&N about its current proposal.
S&N owns Hereford cider maker Bulmers.
Theodoor Gilissen analyst Jan Meijer said Mr Dunsmore's statement signified a switch in tone from S&N following repeated refusals to enter into talks with the consortium and the start of legal wrangling around the East European joint venture BBH that S&N shares on a 50-50 basis with Carlsberg.
"It seemed to be a little bit of a change in the tone of voice and indicates that there might be various options," he noted. "It seems there is nothing sacred about keeping the company independent. That's a bit of a change.
"It is all about the price. When Dunsmore is going to sell his company, he is going for the best price. So this is now really about how far the consortium will go. Is it 800 pence or higher even?"
However, a UK analyst said Mr Dunsmore's statement was "blindly obvious" and added that "we can only speculate about what price he wants".
The analyst stressed further that he believes it is unlikely that S&N will enter talks at the current level and that the next move has to come from the consortium.
"I think there needs to be a higher offer," the analyst said, adding that a revised figure of 770 pence is possible.
An S&N spokesman said Mr Dunsmore's comments were "very general" and signified that like any company, S&N would open talks with other parties if it is presented with proposals that it considers to be good value to the business.
But he stressed that the brewer was not prepared to enter talks with the consortium at the 750 pence level.
Earlier this month, the Takeover Panel imposed a January 21 "put up or shut up" deadline on the consortium to either announce a formal bid or to walk away for six months.
Ms Schijns, however, refused to speculate about what the consortium might do ahead of the deadline.
The consortium wants S&N shareholders to pressure the brewer's board into entering talks.
Sources close to the consortium said earlier this month that it is regular contact with S&N shareholders.
But as the deadline looms, an Amsterdam analyst said the involved parties need to do something to break the deadlock, adding that the greatest pressure is on Carlsberg due to the Swedish arbitration case over BBH.
"Carlsberg simply cannot lose. It is taking a huge gamble. Suppose that the Swedish court rules in June that S&N can buy out its stake in BBH. That would be disastrous for Carlsberg," he said.
The analyst said Carlsberg and Heineken might launch a hostile bid for S&N, but added that a more likely scenario is a higher bid and perhaps a revised contribution ratio between the consortium members.
Currently, the contributions by Carlsberg and Heineken to the consortium bid is 54 per cent and 46 per cent respectively.
The analyst said consensus opinion is that Carlsberg is not paying a full price for S&N's operations, while Heineken is for what amounts to "no growth" Western European assets.
And as the pressure starts to shift from S&N to the consortium, the analyst stressed that Heineken and Carlsberg "are now in a hurry and need to come up with an offer".
"It seemed to be a little bit of a change in the tone of voice and indicates that there might be various options ..SUPL:

A new study has reported that an anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice inhibits breast cancer cell growth in cell cultures and when fed to mice bearing tumors grown from human breast cancer cell lines.
Anthocyanins are polyphenol pigments that are widely present in red and purple fruits, vegetables and grains, including the following:
The study was designed to investigate the anticancer activities of the black rice extract on a variety of breast cancer cell lines, including hormone receptor positive MCF-7 (ER+, HER2/neu-), triple negative MDA-MB-231 (ER-, HER2/neu-), and HER2-overexpressing MDA-MB-453 (ER-, HER2/neu+) cells. Anthocyanin-rich black rice extract was found to reduce the viability of all of the breast cancer cell lines. The extract also was shown to induce apoptosis (i.e., it activated internal cell programs for cell suicide) in the HER2-overexpressing cells. In addition, feeding black rice extract to mice with implanted triple negative cells was found to significantly inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation). The authors conclude that black rice extract appears to have anticancer effects against human breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and suppressing angiogenesis.

NCAA could not conclude violations in North Carolina probe - statement
Oct 13 (Reuters) - The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) on Friday said it "could not conclude academic violations" at the University of North Carolina, which had been accused of running sham classes for years for some of its scholarship athletes.
The University of North Carolina, the reigning NCAA basketball champions, had been facing possible sanctions that could have limited the number of scholarships it can award athletes to attend school there. But there were no penalties levied by the collegiate sports governing body.

Help us to see we are free, as we free those influenced by our lives. Your presence remembers us not to take selfish advantage of our freedom and the gifts you give us. In truth all belongs to you eternally. Amen

Thoughts for the Day
ARE ALL PRAYERS ANSWERED? The Letter of James says, "No" and "Yes." Ask for wisdom and it will be granted by the Lord, says James, but the "double-minded...must not expect anything from the Lord." But, are not the prayers of the double-minded, those with selfish desires, answered also? James says yes, but not by the Lord; they are answered with the fruit of their own desire which "when it is fully grown, gives birth to death.
"THINKING OUT LOUD Racism, homophobia, misogyny, poverty - are not Christian. Unfortunately many feel, because of a few powerful people situated in important societal positions, many think that Christianity supports a "better than thou," or superior view of themselves and their "personal relationship" with God - that they are somehow favored by the Divine. They have forgotten that God is no respecter of persons or religious traditions.
REVELATION We use the word, revelation, to describe what the Ground of Being reveals to our hearts that can never be proved scientifically, or understood through our own efforts. Without revelation there is no conscious participation of spirit with Spirit, the purpose of our journey. Revelation of the spiritual dimension to the hearts of those who seek is the holy temptation that binds the physical being with the holy and gives birth to the New Being.
HEAVEN On that day you will know that I am in the father, you are in me and I am in you. (Jesus, Gospel of John)
Split a piece of wood, I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there. (Jesus, Gospel of Thomas)
There is no place, existing, or nonexistent, without the presence of the Ground of Being. Yet, almost all songs concerning the coming of Christ with God's kingdom are wrong at the outset. For instance, the words for a popular Christian hymn are, "When we all get to heaven," and these words assume that we are not there yet. While this idea that we will all eventually get to heaven and that God's kingdom will come is, and has been, tantamount in orthodox fundamental thinking for centuries, it cannot be maintained under close scrutiny and understanding. If we are struggling to see that we are in heaven and that the kingdom is here, it is not because God's gifts are not at hand, it is because we have not been conditioned to receive them consciously. The spiritual path is dedicated to opening the eyes of the heart in faith, that we might not only see the blessings of God all around us now, but also live fully within them.
HEAVEN AND HELL Do we create our own heaven, or our own hell? If we truly believe we are co-creators with the Ground of Being we would have to answer, "Yes," to this question. Jesus speaks of these creations as already here, but can only speak in parables of them. Also we must admit to the fact that some people are powerless to play a part in the creating process because of the "hell" many have already created that allows and requires the enslavement of huge portions of humanity. It must also be said, if the answer is yes, that the religious traditions of all cultures play a part in the creation of heaven and hell, in the material and the spiritual dimension, through their acceptance or intolerance towards each other. Since this is true, we should examine more carefully what it is we are creating. Is it inclusive, exclusive, or both? If so, inclusive or exclusive of what exactly. Can the creation we live into be both inclusive and exclusive like a double edged sword?
We've all heard the saying, "Life is a bitch and then you die...?" It would be more accurate to say, ""Life is a 'Pitch' and you get what you buy." From the time we are born we are subjected to the thinking of the day, the paradigm that continually tries to sell us images / dreams of what we are to seek in life. Every time we turn on the TV or look at social media we are being "pitched" too, sold a bill of goods, tempted to gamble, take a shot at whatever, told we need something or another to make us complete - and there are "Carnies" on every corner trying to sell us their vision of what life is all about. Do not shop, because what you really need is free.

Jennie's condition has now stabilised and she has resigned herself to a life of inactivity, nurse dependency, interrupted sleep and occasional pain and discomfort especially in her mouth.
Her voice is improving but is still not strong enough for the speech/ throat therapist to allow her to swallow fluids. She looks well despite all this and whilst the paralysis shows little sign of discernible improvement, the Doctors believe nature has started on the repair of the mylene sheath on her nerves. As always this is followed by the reminder that recovery will take time. They believe her inability to get a good nights sleep is a major factor here, but she is still complaining about bad dreams and hallucinations. Our role as visitors is to give her maximum encouragement to eliminate any negative thoughts and anxious state of mind.
Having said all this, lots of physio, a high energy feed (still through the tube in her nose) and exceptional nursing are giving her hope and we look forward to lots of small milsestones on the way to full recovery from this awful condition.

Walking with the Marysong Girls!
Merry Thursday with Parris Bailey
Jude 1:20-23 "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
Did I ever tell you that I have the best job in the universe?
When the weather and my schedule cooperate I like to take the girls out of their "compound setting" to either City Park or Audubon. We all pile into the green van and off we go on another adventure. If I am feeling "angelic" there is usually a refreshment stop in a New Orleans cafe to cap off the day. For many of them, this will be their first time to step foot into a coffee shop- be it Starbucks, PJ'S, or CC's. The last two Wednesdays have been especially meaningful to me. In case you don't know who the Marysong girls are I will introduce you. Three years ago we started, by the grace of God, a restoration center for women. We exist by your donations (haha) and of the course the Holy Spirit. It is a ten month "microwave" program where the girls step out of their negative environments and learn to live with God in their life. It has been AMAZING!
So last week I took them all to City Park, where every Wednesday you can visit the museum and the sculpture garden for free. The day was brisk but sunny and the girls always love the fresh air. I keep them at a fast pace, teaching them various stretches and talking to them about learning to enjoy God's creation and the importance of exercise vs. a negative lifestyle. As we went into the sculpture garden I challenged them to look at each piece of art and share a scripture or spiritual significance about that particular piece. We all had a blast, each of the girls really came up with deep spiritual truths that not only related to the artwork but triggered something in their own lives. I just love the statue of Ruth and Naomi holding on to each other! Ruth found her Boaz!
At the end of the walk through the garden we came across stepping stones that led us across a pond full of fountains and bubbling water. One shared about the river in the book of Revelations proceeding from the throne, others shared about the stepping stones being a walk of faith. I then encouraged the girls to proclaim over themselves what God will do in their lives. "I'm never going back to my old life", "Lord, help me to be obedient to your will in my life", we all yelled something out standing on those stepping stones in the garden at City Park. I can't really say something dramatic happened but I felt something change in the Spirit. Today, we walked around Audubon Park, one of the girls had to stop and tell me how she has never felt so much peace and happiness in her life before. (She started taking drugs at eleven years old) Another literally preached to me from Frank's message last Sunday about being a surfer about catching the wave then she went to preach about the triumphant procession of Christ!
John Gill said about: Praying in the Holy Ghost – "Holding fast the Divine influence which ye have received, and under that influence making prayer and supplication to God. The prayer that is not sent up through the influence of the Holy Ghost is never likely to reach heaven."
Our job is to pull people "out of the fire", even their garments are likely to be tainted with sin. But there is nothing like the resurrection power of God!
