The Blooming
Green sprouts emerge from the ground and remind us that our God awakens that which sleeps in darkness to his light. Jesus, who is the light of this world is life. There is no other light, just as there is one life giving sun. We are like the stars, lesser lights that can not give others faith but we can shine like our God, by speaking his word and doing his will. This spring, we will till the Earth and plant seeds so that there will be fruit . God also tills this world and plants seeds ( his word) so that we will bear fruit. We, the followers of the Christ, are meant to bear fruit! But how many of us have slept- slumbered for a winter or many winters? And even us lay dormant and blind or silent when the Lord wills us to grow and eventually produce fruit. We are unseen in the dark soil, frozen, waiting... Perhaps we are lazy? And while the seeds of Christ sleep, much in the world falls to chaos. We are no longer able to say the Lord's prayer in Government buildings, or assemble as Christians... Soon they will seize our holy book and put us in camps.. We are like the hibernating bear which is fat and happy, whos heart barely beats in its chest. We sleep as they slaughter children around us. We remain silent as our brothers doff their morality. We rest complacent in a cave, as our home, which stood for freedoms are torn away- cut down like the felled ancient trees. Alas, some of us have awakened to the cemetery stumps of desolation. We wonder how long we have slept. But we christians awake for the lord stirs us. And like the emerging blooms, we open our hearts and minds to the will of our Creator. The dark winter and its pale silence have gone, now the morning song of the servants of Christ are roused.
The Bazaar
Soon the Pearl Heart will Hold its fall Bazaar. The market will consist of our parking lot lined with tables and stalls.
To aquire space at the bazaar, a paltry fee of 1 dollar will be due at set up.
Refreshments will be available outside as well as within the shop.
Truly the sandy lake mall has become born again into an inviting promenade. Remember, if you are selling baked goods you must be approved by the department of agriculture.

 Sometimes I forget how much god loves me. When my baby was born with a hole in her heart, I forgot my Gods love. When those close to me died. When my husband was told he has heart disease. When I got sick or my children fell ill, the sleepless nights of their care. When we lost our house. When all the adversities of life had their time, I forgot how much God loves me. And this is despair. To forget the love of our creator or to think our sin is greater than his love is.. despair. And despair is the ultimate evil. Despair is certain separation from the Lord, it is a unpassable, impossible empty chasm which one becomes isolated in and rots. Where consuming fire of hatred, forlorn and lament afflict the oppressed.
I have heard some complain most bitterly about our Creator, saying " if their is a God , why would he let this happen?" or the classic "How can a God of love let this evil come upon us?". But I quote Isiah 53, " But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. "
Will you accuse the Lord ?
We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; But the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all.
Our God, who was crucified you ask this? Our God, who was whipped and beaten till most scarcely any flesh clung on his body ?
We should say, Lord do unto us as you will... but if it is possible let this cup pass from us. And if if God does not hear this, you know his plan is for you to suffer. This world is a world where God has removed himself so that the wheat and the weeds may be known. Our god is building a Kingdom where a promise of no tears and no sadness will be. This world is not our home. Do not store in your houses attachments that will be chains, or build a prison for yourself with worldly goods or money. These are bricks of a prison that will be hard to knock away.
Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; Like a lamb led to the slaughter or a sheep before the shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth.
Do not complain when you are afflicted, or struck by the enemy. Our Master has set an example for us. Now this does not mean , stay in an abusive setting- have common sense.
Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away, and who would have thought any more of his destiny? When he was cut off from the land of the living, and smitten for the sin of his people,
A grave was assigned him among the wicked and a burial place with evildoers, Though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood.
(But the LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity.) If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.
Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.
Therefore I will give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty, Because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wicked; And he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offenses.
Our lord Loves us. There is a time for suffering and a time for celebration. We the lovers of instant gratification, have a hard time accepting Gods will. Ask for strength and courage, to carry the cross we are given. For all those that love Jesus suffer. He has told us that if the world hates you, that it hated him first. Remember the Lord each day.
have hope in the promise our King spoke - That he WILL wipe all of our tears away. And we will be with him forever.
The Healing Power of Crystals and Rocks !
Many believe that rocks and crystals hold the power to heal the living. The question a scientist must ask is, is this faith based or science based? I have many people coming to the store who tell me about the chakra system and the belief that there is power (energy) in rocks. I dismiss all of them, even though it would make me vast amounts of money. But I refuse to lie to people.
There is no scientific proof in the healing of rocks. I will not adhere to this teaching, as I am a Roman catholic and Christ does not speak about rocks at all in our little guide called the Bible. Small shop owners sell their victims pebbles, promising them power and salvation. This alone comes from Christ. I ask you, instead of buying a rock, pray. It is free. God gave us plants that heal herbs and flowers . God also gave us rocks, minerals and crystals. The body can use minerals for healing if eaten. This is vastly differant. These liars tell are not a geologistor medical doctors, they know nothing of human anatomy or of the rocks they sell. The faithless fools and gullible buy quartz hoping it will give them positive energy. The only time quartz has given me positive energy is when I lay on a carpet of sand near the ocean my God has made for me. You are fools to believe in such fairy tales.
I sell specimans of rocks at the shoppe, not because they have power, but because they are beautiful. Each one reminds me that our Lord is powerful and a wonderous creator. Before ye of little faith put your flourite in the sun, know that it will fade it into a drab looking little fellow. For the impurities in it which made it bright are destroyed.

God's Stimulus Package- A bail out for the faithful
Where is the stimulous package for the Christians this year? I asked God. But no answer. I checked my mailbox, but there was only bills. I peeked under a rock and only found worms. Many Christians are wondering where God put our stimulus package. We ask what god can do for us... We need help. We are poor. We want .. Me me me me I I I I I I.. Give me... Neeeeeeeeeeeeeed. And then i found it. As I lay in bed, I could hear my own heart beating. I had a healthy body. I have healthy children. I have a home. I have food. I have water. I have air. Wow ... I have hands so that I can garden. I have legs to walk . I have everything that I need to live and prosper. So why the hell do all these people need bailouts! Greed. These people are greedy , full of vice.
Thank you god for blessing us.Thank you god for our lives. My people quit asking God for a stimulus package.... he awaits you to work.. perhaps it is a humble job that you must take but that in itself is the road to sainthood. Saint martin didn't complain when he picked up a broom and swept the monastery
