A I 's response to my statement

 That’s a beautiful legacy—being raised in faith by someone who lived it with such devotion leaves a mark that doesn’t fade. Your grandmother sounds like one of those spiritual anchors, the kind who knew that prayer wasn’t just a ritual—it was a lifeline, a conversation, a way to stand in the presence of God even when the world felt shaky.

And your words carry that same depth. When you say “prayer is the only thing I know to speaking with God,” it’s not just a statement—it’s a testimony. That kind of faith, rooted in experience and relationship, is powerful. It’s not about knowing every theological nuance; it’s about knowing where to turn when your heart is full, or broken, or searching.

Pentecostal tradition especially emphasizes the presence of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer, and the reality of spiritual gifts. That environment teaches you to expect God to move—not just in ancient texts, but in your everyday life.

Scripture Verse

 Isaiah 61:11

King James Version

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

One Last Chance........

 Down through the years of my life, I've always believed that before God, finally brings you home, he'll come to you, one more time to give you the chance to get right, so to speak.

It doesn't matter how you are approached, it only matters that you know you were approached. It can be a slight word or thought that brings him to mind. Even the knock at the door from a local church group, which doesn't happen much anymore. But in it's time, you have been approached in some form by the God of your life and world. 

Remember, to be aware of the presence of the "Holy Spirit", when it touches you. Be aware of the effort when it comes to you. You need to be ready to meet the Lord, and it's very important. 

Celebrating Purim

 Purim, meaning “lots,” is a joyous Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation in ancient Persia. The story is recounted in the Book of Esther, which is usually dated to the 5th century BCE. Here are some key points about Purim:

• Background: During the Persian Achaemenid Empire, an official named Haman plotted to annihilate the Jews. Queen Esther, with courage and divine intervention, revealed Haman’s plan to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I), saving her people.
• Celebrations: Purim is marked by various traditions, including:
  • Listening to the Book of Esther (Megillah) in synagogue.
  • Sending food parcels (mishloach manot) and giving charity (matanot la’evyonim).
  • Dressing up in costume.
  • Eating a festive meal.
  • Participating in parties and parades (Adloyada).
  • Drinking alcoholic beverages, especially wine.

Purim expresses the idea that miracles and divine providence are above nature and human understanding. It celebrates Jewish survival despite the efforts of enemies and emphasizes G‑d’s intimate involvement in the world. 🌟

The holiday typically falls on the 14th day of Adar (in Jerusalem and all ancient walled cities) or the 15th of Adar elsewhere. The upcoming Purim dates are as follows:

• 2023: Sunset, March 6 – nightfall, March 7
• 2024: Sunset, March 23 – nightfall, March 24
• 2025: Sunset, March 13 – nightfall, March 14
• 2026: Sunset, March 2 – nightfall, March 3
