I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME (Intermittent Waves Recorded From the Transformed Heart of A Woman) AUNTIE YONNY  EPISODE 22  SEMPER FIDELIS, ALWAYS FAITHFUL If the week had ended with high emotions, the start of the next week was not to be outdone by its predecessor. The coroner had finally released the slain bodies of Arturo and Miriam. Following Hal's instructions, Darla had contacted Arturo's family in South America and arranged for his aging parents, brothers and sisters and a host of other relatives in Venezuela to be flown in to attend his funeral. Special arrangements had to be made with the proper authorities in Venezuela and the U.S. to temporarily allow them into the country. Granted that Darla was assuming added responsibilities at Tanya's request, Hal asked her to assist him in hiring his own staff, while extending the offer for her to continue after Tanya's death, not only as a secretary, but, as director of his affairs. Darla said that she w...

I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME (Intermittent Waves Recorded From The Transformed Heart Of A Woman) AUNTIE YONNY EPISODE 21 WHO WILL MOURN FOR CAESAR?   The coming week proved to be extremely busy and challenging for Hal. He spent as much time as he possibly could with Tanya, which seemed to give her the strength to hold on longer. She didn't want to talk about Miriam anymore. Her eyes always teared up and she became silent whenever her name was mentioned. She clung to Hal as if using him to fill that void left by her niece. Hal understood and he didn't mind. It pained him to see her reaction of sadness when he was called to another meeting. Business matters never ended, thus, Hal knew that there were an endless series of meetings ahead of him. He could not help but wonder what else lied ahead. His grandfather always said that God had good things in store for His children who loved and obeyed Him. With some guilt, he began to question if that applied to him. Ye...

I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME  CHAPTER 14 THE BLIND: Why The Golden Calf Had To Be Destroyed and Should Never Have Been Built Memorial Day has passed and in defense of fallen Southern Confederate Soldiers and in an effort to preserve historical statues of the Confederacy, many have cried out, "This is part of our (America's) history, too!" We must stop to ascertain the proprietary intent in claiming ownership to this side of American History, at this present time; for indeed, it is of great importance and significance. Also, does the person truly know and understand the history to which they claim ownership? Anyone who claims to know or believe in God should have a basic understanding of Biblical History, which is also "our" history, in order to properly assess contemporary or national history. History is not simply the documentation of events, but, a complete analysis of who, what, why, when, and where an event occurred, w...

I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME CHAPTER 20 TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE PART 5 BE YOURSELF: I AM NOT SIMPLY HUMAN! You may be of any race, religion, age, or gender, trying to be yourself, and people may interpret your behavior in various ways, differing in their opinion. People may come to the conclusion that you are being fake, phony, out-of-character, deceiving, etc. You may find yourself in an awkward or uncomfortable situation where the need arises to question your feelings, behavior, or actions. "Are you being yourself? Are you trying to fit in? Are you being affected by peer pressure, money, other incentives, or pride? Are you being inhibited in any way from BEING yourself? What are you agreeing with that you know in your heart is WRONG? " Who can analyze your behavior and come to the conclusion that you are not being yourself? Who knows you well enough to make that statement? On what facts are they basing their opinion? Is it your age; race; soci...

I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME CHAPTER 19 TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE BE YOURSELF:  WHEN THE WORLD IS TELLING YOU TO BE SOMETHING ELSE Until we become fully aware of our spiritual selves, as connected to God, MOST often, WE ARE BEING WHO WE CHOOSE TO PRESENT TO OTHERS. My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I'd like to share with you a series of disturbing experiences that are not unique to me, by any means. By themselves, each experience seems unrelated and isolated. Together, they are traces of the hand of God opening my eyes to myself and the world around me. When we look at our lives, each of us has had experiences that God allowed in order to show us who we are or who we should be. The hurt and pain we endured was God's purifying fire to remove the dross and refine us as pure gold. Such are the four experiences below when I thought I was just being myself. EXPERIENCE NO. 1: My most recent experience happened today. I was trying to do what was right. ...

 I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME (Intermittent Waves Recorded From The Transformed Heart Of A Woman) AUNTIE YONNY EPISODE 19 WHO AM I? Hal had Darla set up a voice activated intercom between his, Zenobia, and Tanya's room. They continued paying an off-duty policeman to be night watchman, instead of hiring a new face. During the next few days, the police were in and out of the building regularly and Hal felt safe. He was staying off of his foot as much as he could to help it heal, but, he knew his days of rest and relaxation would soon be over. No sooner had he thought about it, then, Darla arrived with a letter from the law firm of Hamilton, Gallegos, Childress and Stein, Esquire. The letter was marked confidential. Mr. Theodore Hamilton of the firm was requesting a meeting with him as soon as possible to discuss the estate of Mrs. Miriam D. Graves-Barrett. He closed the letter stating that it was of the utmost importance that he keep the meeting confidential and r...
