Prospective Immigrants Please Note
Either you will
go through this door
or you will not go through.
If you go through
there is always the risk
of remembering your name.
Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen.
If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily
to maintain your attitudes
to hold your position
to die bravely
but much will blind you,
much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?
The door itself
makes no promises.
It is only a door.

Isn’t remembering one’s name what it’s all about? “I AM” — He said — it’s all in The Name. Jesus = Yeshua = One Who Saves. Remembering who we are in Christ. My name means ‘a pearl’. If I remember that, I remember the story of the pearl of great price. I remember I am loved.
Wow.
Just WOW.
I think I might have to use this at tomorrow nights Red Tent Circle…for the opening.
Thank you.
And how strange…I just grabbed some Rich off of my shelf.
