To all of my friends who have responded to my Debra Lafave posting I write this to you.
For some reason I as a Christian feel an obligation to do some explaining. Only because I look upon you as friends do I endeavor to oblige. I have been a HOT Christian (Rev 3:16) for only a few years. Before that I was a luke-warm Christian (hypocrite). My allegiance reaches out to the Spirit, Scriptures and to Jesus. From there it embraces people who seem referred to me by the Spirit. As far as Church is concerned I belong to a reformed protestant congragation.
Now, how did I become affiliated with Jesus? That;s a long story that started in 1937 when I was a nitwit, a high schol student. There I was an immature abomination worst confounded. There also I had the best possible girl friend. Though dead she still is my best friend. In 2002 near the beginning Joanne returned to my memory system like a bolt of lightning. Before that I had fogotten her; since then she has stayed etched everywhere within my mind, heart and soul. Though she died in 1970 she now is with me permanently. This I swear wth all my flesh and spirit. Now if all of you study Deut 18:10, Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 and Isaiah 8:19 we learn tha when we die we forget everything we learneed under the Sun. Yet when we read Mark 9:2-4 (Transfiguration scene) Jesus can bring spirits back under the Sun. Luke 36:39 demonstrates that Jesus knew incredibly much about Spirits. The reason these scriptures warm my heart is because when Joanne came back to me I felt an unusual closeness to Jesus. So I reason, not to prove anything, that when Joanne returned to me she was accompanied by Jesus. Now this is my reasoning to myself and not to the world. So I have felt close to Jesus only since 2002. This is a story NOT FOR YOU TO BELIEVE, BUT THE TRUTH FOR ME TO BELIEVE. So be it!
NOW, How did I get started praying for Debra Beasley Lafave. That too is a long story which I will try to shorten. Before WW!! I took teacher training in what then was called a PA state teachers college.
At that time teaching was taught like a religion. We were trained to believe that ONCE A TEACHER; ALWAYS A TEACHER. In 2004 I saw Debra in the news and I got madder than a wet hen. I HATED THAT WOMEN! I hated her because she had removed herselr from teaching by becoming a criminal. SHE CHANGED FROM TEACHER TO CRIMINAL IN LESS THAN A WEEK! HOW DARE HER TO DO THAT! Then something hqppened. It happened within me. I don't know whether it was a voice or a half-ton hammer. The message was strong and definite. So strong it was it gave me a lasting headache. The message was that I had to pray for her. Very definate and very strong! PRAY FOR SOMEONE I HATED? YES! That's it in a monster of a crab shell, believe me. Now understand that I taught school for 34 years. I always write this way.
NOW you read my first posting. You know my concerns about Debra, but WOW, you guys are teaching me much more. I'm still in the mist of digesting it and even masticating it. My prayers now are aimed toward you, your opinions, experiences and more. Do you kind folks assemble face to face with this data you have that stirs
ideas in my head. What would happen if someone like Debra Lafave were in a conversational circle with folks like you? Don't answer. I just have to pry around some. Debra still is Momma's little girl who does not even know herself. Hey, I'm getting back to you. Give me a few days. OK? Forgive me for being an 87+ year old retired teacher. This is how we often phase in and out, but I have got to think how to get your kind of data posted in high places. Maybe I will come up with something, maybe not; just let me try.
