Doreen Picard of the Son of God
Jesus said:
“I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Luke 12: 49- 53. ESV Study Bible.
Things I wonder about Doreen . . .
Do you think she might find me at least “something curious” – something to wonder about — as I wonder about her ?
Someone she might like to meet someday ?
And, maybe, take for a walk around the lake ?
I wonder . . .
How tall is she ?
What does her voice sound like ?
I would especially like to hear the sound of her voice.

I speak of Doreen in the Present tense because True God is God of the living – not the dead.
All are alive to him.
“I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”
What are her favorite activities ?
Thinking now of Doreen’s earlier life . . .
So these thoughts use the Past tense.
What extra-curricular activities did she do in high school ?
Was she into sports – such as basketball and softball ?
Was she in the Drama Club ?
Did she like to read literature ?
Did she like to sing ?
Did she write ?
What kind of writing did she like to write ?
Did she like to walk ?
Did she walk around the lake near her home — Lake Hiawatha ?
Did she like winter sports – like her dad likes hockey ?
Did she like ice skating on the lake in wintertime ?
I skated once on Lake Hiawatha.
Went all the way out to the middle of Lake all by myself. The surface was pristine and black as night! I felt scared. I skated back to shore.
Did she like roller skating in the summer time ?
Did she love the Roman Catholic Religion ?
Or
Did she prefer being a born-again Christian —
And believing the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed to us in
The New Testament
of
The Holy Bible ?
Did she like to walk in the cemetery ?
Did she like to run ?
Did she like going to the movies ?

I realize that my writing about Doreen whom I have not met yet in real life must seem very weird to people of this world. I’m reminded of something said in an interview about a famous song Ralph McTell wrote – a phrase about “Giving people a think.” [ 5:25 into the music-video].
Makes me cry . . .

How the world ended up the sad and horrible way it is seems to have something to do with the love of money and the man-made creation of worldly things such as “artificial persons” known as corporations that eventually bore fruit unto “the corrupt and global corporate state that may be a worldly name for the Biblical entity called “Babylon the Great harlot” – which is a city that the kings of the earth are committing adultery with. And the result is that they are destroying the earth now –environmental pollution; governments in severe national debt; extremely wicked wars – such as the one in which Russia has been attacking and destroying her own neighbor –Ukraine — every day now for about 3-and-a-half years; and global warming heating up the oceans and the atmosphere – causing fires and other deadly consequences; and terrible migration problems that are leading to poor people being sent to horrible prisons where they are being tortured. It seems that the world is entering The Great Tribulation that is prophesied in the Bible. And Jesus said it will be worse than it has ever been on earth since the beginning.
And our only hope is to believe the gospel of God and have complete faith in the Son of God Jesus Christ.
The wickedness that is taking over the world system cannot be stopped.

“Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’’ -Mark 1: 14, 15. ESV Study Bible.
“Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” -Mark 16: 14-16 ESV Study Bible.

The Roman Catholic religion did not exist at the time of the Holy Spirit inspired writing of The New Testament – which includes The Epistle to the Romans.
Mark: “Doreen, I wonder what may happen when I meet you in person. Will the meeting be transformative ? Will your eyes looking directly into mine penetrate me ? Will your voice be so heart-touchingly graceful to me that my heart just breaks open – the gates of my heart break open in love for you ?”
Doreen: “How many times do I have to tell you, Mark to be quiet ? You keep waking me up. You ought to understand by now how much I like to sleep, Mark. Just wait until I awaken; and my heart wants to speak to you. Then you will know that I really and truly want to hear you speaking to me.”
Mark: “May I just very quietly lay down beside you; and fall asleep with you?”
Doreen: “Whenever you are truly as sleepy-as-I-am, Mark, you may do so. It may be, Mark, that you and I will thus come together in sleep and quietness and deep peacefulness.”
