Financial Report And More
Well, it's time for the old yearly financial
report! Been worse, could be better. According to our figures our
personal earnings were $9921.66 last year. Our expenses were
$11973.30. That leaves us a deficit this year of $2051.64 which
is actually a little low because it doesn't include some of the
medical expenses that haven't been paid yet. With the outstanding
bills on the credit cards and the hospital bill our current debt
is $2263.81. All of Jesus' attempts to get us some major
donations so we can catch up on our bills and establish an
independent income giving us more free time and the ability to
travel, have not been successful. One good note, however! For the
first time in many years Voices has made a small profit...$139.00
over expenses, thanks to the donations of those that sent help to
keep us going during our medical problems. Many believe in our
Work, but are afraid to make a public expression of that belief
for fear they will be shunned by the public. This is a sad state.
"So many," Jesus says, "have more than they would
ever need for a thousand lifetimes, and simply don't know what to
do with the surplus. Yet when God's message reaches them they are
afraid to use any of it to help God's people, and are destroying
themselves forever." This is a phenomena that has existed
before the beginning of recorded time, and will exist until the
end of time wherever the struggle of good and evil is occurring.
There will always be those with the means to help those fighting
the Darkness, but who will refuse to do so and destroy themselves
because they are afraid of what others would say.
Jesus knows there's three hundred well to do people out there
that could each send us a thousand dollars and set us free from
having the need to hold down a material job, give us time to do
more of God's Work. Those who know what is happening and do
nothing will destroy themselves in The Afterlife because they
have failed to save their children. Sometimes fear is the worst
of all emotions.
On another note our friend Jesse wrote and said he was confused
by the latest "Here's Jesus!" where Jesus said his
earthly parents Mary and Joseph were human souls. He thought
Gerald had told him that Mary was a Haven soul. Well there is a
good possibility Gerald did tell him this because Jesus'
statement on this matter took Gerald by surprise too. Because he
had long thought that Mary was a Haven, and may well have
mentioned that to Jesse in one of their conversations. But there
is one authority, absolute and positive. What The Lord Of Heaven
says is correct. If at some past time we accidentally gave some
information that we weren't clear on, and He later comes and
corrects our mistake, what He says is what is true. We never
claim perfection. Every once and a while we make small mistakes.
We are in material forms and those in material forms sometimes
error, never in the big things, but sometimes in little things!
With as much information as we have put out over the years
there's bound to be a few misprints and other insignificant
errors. But the important thing is the major information is
correct! Jesus Of Nazareth, Called The Christ was born in the
city of David called Bethlehem to a virgin called Mary. That is
unquestionable, that is unchallenged. The fine little details are
interesting and that The Lord Of Heaven is giving them to us are
appreciated. But there should be no confusion on the important
points of the matter. Jesus Of Nazareth, Called The Christ is
Lord Of The Kingdom Of God, and anyone that claims otherwise is a
creature of Darkness that you don't want to have anything to do
with! That's all that matters!
The Kingdom Of God continuing to act against those who are
betraying Its people. No matter how high their place, no matter
how great their power, if they are part of the betrayal of The
People Of Israel The Kingdom Of God is after them, that simple,
that direct. If they say Israel can be sacrificed for peace The
Angel Of Destruction is hunting their every weakness, and he's a
very good hunter! Watch the news. Watch those who say "Give
away Israel's land for peace." Watch their families. Any
evil they are doing The Kingdom Of God will try to expose. Sons,
daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, if they are
breaking God's Laws The Kingdom Of God will try to expose it. And
from the news lately, They've been doing a very good job!
We have had some very nice gifts this year, however. Got several
gift cards for Wal Mart, and our friends insisted that we use
them for something fun, something for us, and not for work. So
Gerald used his to get two Harry Potter DVDs, "The Chamber
Of Secrets" and "The Prisoner Of Azkaban."
Unfortunately they're the full screen version and not letter box.
Gerald prefers letterbox. When they chop a movie up for
television you lose so much. Maybe some day we'll get "The
Goblet Of Fire." Looks like a good one! Gerald did cheat a
little bit. He used what was left on the card to get a writing
board and erasable markers that Linda is using for the
"Here's Jesus!" as a cue card. But he doesn't think
those who sent the card will consider that a violation of their
wishes. Linda is eyeing some CDs if Wal Mart ever has them in.
When she doesn't want something it's always there. The minute she
goes to buy it it's out of stock! Good old Murphy's law! It just
works overtime for us.

In the end, we will remember not the words of
our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that
matter.
