Janis Joplin



I couldn't get enough of Janis Joplin during my teen years, and remember reading about how she shot up at some party in a kitchen in Cincinnati and thought it was cool. Maybe I read it in Buried Alive. Now I grieve she was a heroin addict, knowing the pain and misery that goes with it and leads to it.

Vision of the Kingdom of God


If I may, as God is my Witness and Judge, when I was only 17 years young, God UNEXPECTEDLY gave me a VISION while I was in prayer. I was within that vision as a glorified Spirit-Being, whiter than glistening snow and like a brilliant white cloud with the sun shining on it, appearing smooth, dressed in a white robe - even my hair was that brilliant white - holding a Book in my hands and teaching two flesh and blood mortals who were sitting on the ground, in an outdoor setting like a park or meadow.)

Israel C. Ort (I asked him what the initial "c" stood for and he said it didn't stand for anything).

Grand Canyon in 2000

I wanted to see the Grand Canyon for my 40th birthday, so Dave Nolan and I flew to Las Vegas and then drove to the Grand Canyon. We also went to Tijuana, Mexico. I thanked God for letting me live long enough to see it and now, this year, 2010, I've gone back and seen the Grand Canyon again!
