Firefighters from across B.C. attended a funeral Monday morning for the Surrey firefighter who took his own life after battling post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kevin Hegarty, 53, is remembered as an advocate for the mental health issues facing emergency service workers.
“He became a champion, an advocate to the efforts of bringing these issues to the forefront of all workers in the emergency service industry,” said Surrey Fire Fighters Association president Mike McNamara. “We cannot emphasize enough the significance of the efforts Kevin made to try and help all workers with the difficulties that come with the service we provide.”

During his 20 year career as a firefighter, Hegarty responded to many distressing calls. He developed symptoms of PTSD over the years, including anxiety and sleep issues.
But it was a call involving a murdered teenage boy that led to the firefighter’s leave of absence. Hegarty died on March 1.
PTSD typically occurs after exposure to trauma, and can elicit symptoms such as severe anxiety, flashbacks, numbness, and nightmares. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, emergency personnel experience the disorder twice as much as the average Canadian.
Hegarty worked extensively with the B.C. Burn Fund, and assisted with the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society. He leaves behind family and friends, including a nine-year-old son.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association, or BC Burn Fund “In memory of Kevin Hegarty.”

One of those days

Today was one of those days, when all you feel you've accomplished is having your hands in dish water all day long. Cleaning counters, cleaning fridge shelves, were just the start. Pots waiting to be scrubbed, pet dishes a mess, cupboards and stove full of grease. The recycling bins and garbage full. Pet hair everywhere. 

   My Japanese student left this morning. Bedsheets needing to be washed. I even washed my husbands keys and cell phone today.  We'll see what happens to his phone! I scrambled to wash his clothes as he had no shower for a few days due to his swollen joints, and I washed his jacket and other garments. I made sure that the coat had nothing in it, but I suppose we overlooked the loose fitting gym pants. He showered on a chair in the tub. I hauled the walker that I bought many months ago at a seniors home, out of the garage first thing this morning. If it wasn't for this apparatus, we would not have made it for his treatment at the hospital this morning. Foresight is better than hindsight they say. Thankfully they determined that he has no MRSA, the super bug, and the very harsh intervenes drip was discontinued. So now a gentler antibiotic is used, and hopefully this will work.

By the afternoon, after visiting my own doctor as he had some forms filled out for me, I just had to stretch out on the sofa. I saw on the news that today, was the fireman's funeral who committed suicide, due to post traumatic stress disorder. Many many firemen honored him, and came from all over Canada. What a lovely man, I thought, still so young. I hope many people will keep mental health related issues in the forefront, as there needs to be a place for these people to recover, other than a hospital setting.

Today, on my way home, I also stopped by Deborah's graveside. I have not had time to go for a few weeks as mounting demands kept me occupied. She still had lovely carnations, and flowers on her grave, as well as a potted plant, that is an annual. Her happy birthday balloon still present on her grave. After retrieving some of the wilted flowers I headed to my car, only to meet a lady on a yoga mat who lost her husband. She told me it has been six months since he died of leukemia, but she still comes almost daily. Though her faith is in Jesus, and her husband has a beautiful scripture from the book of Psalms on his grave, she has not been able to move on. His death was anticipated, he expressed a peace that he made with God, and he was gone in two weeks. Despite this she was still lonely, and missed him immensely. White tall roses, and shorter red ones adorned his grave. I told her that we are to expect the graves to open soon, for the dead will rise first. (See my blog- The dead will rise first). Soon our loved ones will come back to life again. I am expecting this.

Public Health Care Rally

Tomorrow is a big day for the future of public health care.

This Tuesday, HEU is holding a rally in front of Surrey Memorial Hospital on the west side of King George Blvd. at 96th Ave. at 12:00 noon.
March 31 is the first anniversary of $36 billion in federal Conservative cuts to health care.

For B.C., it means $5 billion less for hospitals, care homes and other public facilities.

That's why HEU is hosting rallies like this one across the province – we need to send a message to Ottawa to reverse the billions of dollars in cuts to health care.For more details on Tuesday's rally see   http://www.heu.org/saveourhealthcarebc.

Allan Horvath videos

 I really like this man's teachings, as he speaks Hebrew and Aramaic,  and I especially like the comments about this video, below is one example. This video has much to say about the signs in the heavens with the next blood moon occurring on April 4, 2015, and the last one, visible from Jerusalem in September. Look up and be ready.

The Great & Dreadful Day of YHWH!

  I'm scared, what will gonna do now?

 You bow before the Holy YHWH and tell Him that you are accepting His Son Yeshua as your Saviour. Ask Him to come into your heart and that He must teach you His ways. Ask Him to forgive your sins and fill you with His Holy Ruah to lead and show you what to do. Tell Him that you want Yeshua to come and be the Master of your body, soul, and mind. Invite Him in. Give yourself to Him, and He will take care of you. Bless you.

Phone Call from Mexico

Today, I had a surprising phone call from one of my former Mexican students. She was here over four years ago, in my estimation. We had formed a close bond. She called me twice, once on my cell which had bad reception, and secondly on my land line, which finally allowed us to talk. After a few minutes of sweet talk, she said that she had something important to say. A person approached her and told her the story about our plight with Deborah's departure due to suicide. She specifically asked my student who calls me her second mom, to call us and let us know the following. I know that my student was taken back by all this, as she had not told this person anything about our story. She is aware that we are a family of faith, as I gave her a bible upon her departure. Her voice was trembling when she told me the following: that Deborah was in a good place, and she is fine; that Deborah want's us to stop crying, and thirdly, that she wants us to be happy. The woman who had this word of knowledge or prophecy,  told my student to call us and let her parents know of these things. I had the conference speaker on as she relayed the woman's message to us. We acknowledged this message as genuine, and sobbed. We know in our head that she is in a good place, but it is hard to be happy and not miss Deborah in our heart and daily lives. We will take comfort in these requests, and continue to believe that somehow, it will all work together for the good, to those who love God and who are called according to His purpose. May His will be done, and we know that our separation is not a lengthy one.

This was only the second time we had talked on the phone in four years. She is trying to come out to the wedding in June, but finances are difficult, and visas would have to be acquired. Please pray for her that the door would open for her to come to Canada. She is a gem of a person.

A Patented Idea

I just got back from taking my Japanese student to look around at Simon Fraser University in Surrey Central. I love how the interior of this structure looks, as it  resembles  an ark; yeah, kind of like Noah's ark.  I took her to the fifth floor, and showed her how those beautiful wood beams decorate the ceiling, while a walkway is floating along the side of the "ark". The classrooms then extend towards the outside wall of the ark.

On our way in, we noticed that the students have created group business ventures. There was a buzzing of activities at all the booths ornamenting the main floor.  Some of the ideas have not yet materialized, but one grade 8 student, (the youngest, of all the students), patented a little plug for the door knobs, that allows a person to enter a room, and not have to break down the door. He was inspired by the fact that his younger brother would keep locking himself into the bathroom. This ingenious, little structure allows anyone to go inside a room, even if it is locked from the inside. At that moment, I reflected on how people who are on suicide watch, or depressed, should always have their door open or their rooms accessible in a family home environment. When a person pulls away and is in their room by themselves for long period of times, that should be an alert of danger to the parents in my opinion. They have to be trusted to family members, to be monitored. I think also it is helpful, to let the person know, that they are watched for their own benefit, and the reason for that supervision. Wouldn't it be something if this boy, with his invention could even help people with mental illness, by having a door that is not lockable, and accessible to those who are monitoring such depressed individuals? I think so. What do you think?

Loosing a Child

What I Wish More People Understood About Losing A Child By Paula Stephens March 23, 2015Four and half years after the death of my oldest son, I finally went to a grief support group for parents who have lost children. I went to support a friend who recently lost her son. I'm not sure I would've gone except that when I was in her shoes, four years ago, I wish I would've had a friend to go with me. Losing a child is the loneliest, most desolate journey a person can take and the only people who can come close to appreciating it are those who share the experience.
The meeting was a local chapter of The Compassionate Friends, an organization solely dedicated to providing support for those who have lost children, grandchildren or siblings. The facilitator was a tall gentleman who had lost his 17 year old son eight years ago. He opened the meeting by saying that dues to belong to the club are more than anyone would ever want to pay. Well, he couldn't be more correct: no one wants to belong to this group.
The group of incredible survivors included parents whose children had been killed by drunk drivers, murdered, accidental overdose, alcoholism, suicide and freak accidents. The children's ages ranged from 6-38 years old. When hearing the stories, I had a visceral reaction to being part of this "club," but was also humbled by the greatness of these mothers and fathers.
Most of what I share in this article came from this meeting, but also from my own experience of having lost a child and being four years into that lifelong journey of healing from deep grief. The following five tips can be your compass to help you navigate how to give support to grieving parents on a sacred journey they never wanted to take.
1. Remember our children.
The loss of children is a pain all bereaved parents share, and it is a degree of suffering that is impossible to grasp without experiencing it first hand. Often, when we know someone else is experiencing grief, our discomfort keeps us from approaching it head on. But we want the world to remember our child or children, no matter how young or old our child was.
If you see something that reminds you of my child, tell me. If you are reminded at the holidays or on his birthday that I am missing my son, please tell me you remember him. And when I speak his name or relive memories relive them with me, don't shrink away. If you never met my son, don't be afraid to ask about him. One of my greatest joys is talking about Brandon.
2. Accept that you can't "fix" us.
An out-of-order death such as child loss breaks a person (especially a parent) in a way that is not fixable or solvable — ever! We will learn to pick up the pieces and move forward, but our lives will never be the same.
Every grieving parent must find a way to continue to live with loss, and it's a solitary journey. We appreciate your support and hope you can be patient with us as we find our way.
Please: don't tell us it's time to get back to life, that's it's been long enough, or that time heals all wounds. We welcome your support and love, and we know sometimes it hard to watch, but our sense of brokenness isn't going to go away. It is something to observe, recognize, accept.
3. Know that there are at least two days a year we need a time out.
We still count birthdays and fantasize what our child would be like if he/she were still living. Birthdays are especially hard for us. Our hearts ache to celebrate our child's arrival into this world, but we are left becoming intensely aware of the hole in our hearts instead. Some parents create rituals or have parties while others prefer solitude. Either way, we are likely going to need time to process the marking of another year without our child.
Then there's the anniversary of the date our child became an angel. This is a remarkable process similar to a parent of a newborn, first counting the days, then months then the one year anniversary, marking the time on the other side of that crevasse in our lives.
No matter how many years go by, the anniversary date of when our child died brings back deeply emotional memories and painful feelings (particularly if there is trauma associated with the child's death). The days leading up to that day can feel like impending doom or like it's hard to breathe. We may or may not share with you what's happening.
This is where the process of remembrance will help. If you have heard me speak of my child or supported me in remembering him/her, you will be able to put the pieces together and know when these tough days are approaching.
4. Realize that we struggle every day with happiness. 
 

It's an ongoing battle to balance the pain and guilt of outliving your child with the desire to live in a way that honors them and their time on this earth.
I remember going on a family cruise eighteen months after Brandon died. On the first day, I stood at the back of the ship and bawled that I wasn't sharing this experience with him. Then I had to steady myself, and recognize that I was also creating memories with my surviving sons, and enjoying the time with them in the present moment.
As bereaved parents, we are constantly balancing holding grief in one hand and a happy life after loss in the other. You might observe this when you are with us at a wedding, graduation or other milestone celebration. Don't walk away — witness it with us and be part of our process.
5. Accept the fact that our loss might make you uncomfortable.
Our loss is unnatural, out-of-order; it challenges your sense of safety. You may not know what to say or do, and you're afraid you might make us lose it. We've learned all of this as part of what we're learning about grief.
We will never forget our child. And in fact, our loss is always right under the surface of other emotions, even happiness. We would rather lose it because you spoke his/her name and remembered our child, than try and shield ourselves from the pain and live in denial.
Grief is the pendulum swing of love. The stronger and deeper the love the more grief will be created on the other side. Consider it a sacred opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with someone who have endured
 one of life's most frightening events. Rise up with us.

Mentee or Mentor?

This day was pretty crazy. Morning was spent cleaning, followed by a lunch and meeting with all the ESL volunteer teachers at the church. Discussions included what is the difference between multicultural and intercultural ministries. More volunteers are always prayed for, and sought out. I think overall, the sharing of our lives with new comers to Canada is what is needed. A genuine, caring heart. A hospitable community of encouragement, as well as the learning of the language. Very soon, we will be the Brooklyn of Canada, one volunteer said. ESL (English as a second language) will only continue to grow, and grow.
After the meeting, I was home for a short while, and off again to pick up my Japanese student from her school. I promised that if the weather was nice, I would take her to White Rock Beach. She took many lovely photo's, and we enjoyed the wind blowing in our faces as we walked the dock. The tide was out. I couldn't help but remember that just a little ways, up Deborah was baptized in these waters. I did not have the courage to drive the student there. A scripture verse she highlighted in her bible that I read tonight reads,

" It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes.  He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts.  At that time each will receive his praise from God. I Cor. 4: 4-5. "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God". 1 Cor. 1 vs 18. "And the god of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.  All the saints send their greetings.  May  the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13, vs 11-14.

By the time I got home, I prepared dinner, packed the student's lunch for tomorrow; as they are going to the Aquarium, Stanley Park and Gastown. I'm supposed to help with homework, but I am so tired, I just want to collapse. A few encouraging words is all I had to tell my husband after dinner, that he should continue using his sleep apnea machine in our bedroom, so he can have a decent sleep. I will not mind the noise, I promised him. The laundry of my student is still in the machine, and I don't know when I get to raise my feet. Thankfully, it is a brief stay for her, and I am encouraging her to be more assertive, and strong, to have an opinion. I have only a brief time to impact her life, possibly for the future and eternity. Yesterday, we watched Hillsong on you-tube. I told her I hope that Japan will have worshippers like they do in Australia. Currently, the Christians are a minute 2 percent or so of their entire population. I am a mentor to her, and she is the mentee, but does not yet realize it. Our churches must be full of these relationships, where we share our lives, encourage, and support younger women, to love their husbands, and their children. We must help them avoid costly mistakes in their lives. We must be their confidant. There are women out there with no goodly women to give them feedback, or even call a person up for advice. We must teach them those things that will edify them and their families all their lives. We must not allow young lives to be tossed back and forth. We must help them get grounded, even if it is at a cost to us. Our pastor's wife told us that her 12 year old daughter has a mentor too. She is a woman with 3 children and a doctorate. She goes to her with questions that she would be embarrassed to go to her mom about.What a brilliant concept, and idea!  Now pastor's daughter wants to have a big family, and a doctorate as well. I learned that if a mom waits till their daughter is 18 to get a mentor, it will be all too late. So decide now, who will be your son's or daughters mentor for the next many years.
I too must thank the few women and men who have been often silent mentors to me in our church, workplace, or neighbourhood. Their dedication to their families and their community has shed hope for me in the past and present.

I Will Wait for You

There is nothing that I desire but for the Lord to bring about His will in my life and the life of my children. A song below very much gives a sense to the execution of our deliberate faith. It is not by chance that our hope is in Jesus alone. With so much suffering around us, so much need and chaos, it is timely to rest in Him entirely.
My husband is up on his steroid intake again. Chronic pain is not anything to take lightly. Managing pain is a moment by moment undertaking. I just found an old cassette player inside our barely used karaoke machine. Distracting the mind, sometimes works. Doing a sensory distraction with a hair brush, or some other gadget, also can help. The only relief is when a person sleeps, if they are able to. As I sit here and watch the ordeal, I realize that I am inevitably part of it. Not by choice, but by deliberation. This is where I am now; being the caregiver. Again, I feel inexperienced, lost, unsure, just like when you first bring a baby home from the hospital. Providing comfort, in a room that is ill prepared for the task at hand, even as I am. More blood work was done today. The results may be misleading as the steroid spikes the blood sugar. If it isn't gout, what is it? Don't the doctors know, or will they simply not say. The body of an 80 year old in the body of an 50 year old, that is all I know. Scary, for us all, isn't it?
I feel like a hundred, my heart is still crushed and broken. Today I looked in one of the boxes with Deborah's stuffed toys.  The one dalmatian dog was given to her by the fire department  when she had a splinter in her foot. They  escorted us with their truck to the medical clinic, as they were not allowed to remove the splinter. She was only perhaps 7 at the time attending a birthday party in a spray park. Then her final contact with the fire department, when her body was retrieved by the Fraser River, age 19. How sad, very sad. Does anyone have joy in this life? Everyone's cross is different; different sizes. Only we can bear our own cross, an old lady told me. You can try on someone elses which appears smaller than yours, but it is not meant for you. So until He changes things, I will wait for Him.

Advocacy into Action-Public Meeting

 The good thing is that we are all actively trying to do something about educating people about mental health. I just got news that our next meeting with our politicians and professionals will be taking place in the month of April. This is in response to the very well attended town-hall meeting that we had earlier this year.(The first of it's kind in BC). We will have more time, to hear, and take action surrounding this very difficult subject of suicide and mental health. Even the coroner will be there. Please circulate widely, and mark off your calendars in advance.  The Lord willing we can all support one another as more and more families face this very into your face fact of life. We want to support and help as many families as we can, in whatever way we can.

#NewWestminster Police & Coast Guard units are searching the water after reports someone jumped off the Queensborough Bridge

My now youngest daughter told me about this twitter account that immediately posts events as they happen here in British Columbia. Sadly, she noticed that yet another suicide has just occured off our New Westminister bridge, the Queensborough. Please pray for the family who I'm sure is devastated like we were on that night our Deborah disappeared out of our lives. She too apparently, Deborah was mentioned on Scan BC, with several remarks and tweets below it, some of which my girls will not let me look at even to this day. 

We Lost a Surrey Firefighter

Councillor Mike Starchuck , a Surrey councillor and former firefighter pushes for better follow-up care for PTSD sufferers, according to the Thursday, March 19, 2015 Leader. In his blog he  writes about a junior captain firefighter who was treated by mental health specialists and was cleared. On March 3 of this year, he took his own life. at the age of 53. The front page article in the Leader, March 19th issue keeps mental health in the front pages again. In honour of this young man, let us remind ourselves of the that meaningful change has to happen in dealing with mental health.

Kevin’s Story

Posted on March 13, 2015 by Mike • 16 Comments

Last week (March 3, 2015), we lost a Surrey Fire Fighter with nearly 20 years of experience. Kevin was dedicated to the Fire Service, to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, and to the Fire Fighters’ Association in Surrey. Kevin’s story is similar to other First Responders who suffered from mental health issues. The Vancouver Sun published an article (March 7, 2015) that spoke to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the First Responder community. The link to that article can be found here: http://www.vancouversun.com/health/First+responders+ramp+stress+management+after+rash+suicides/10868487/story.html
In Kevin’s case, a string of emergency response events starting in 2005, led to his diagnosis of PTSD in 2010. There was a claim for benefits to WorkSafeBC (WSBC) that was accepted by the Board. From the time he was recognized by WSBC for his PTSD (that is occupationally linked to Kevin), to his last days on earth, there weren’t any WSBC policies or mechanisms in place, to follow-up with Kevin’s mental health challenges.
The loss of Kevin has raised many mental health based questions which all lead to a continuum of care that is not offered to workers who have had successful WSBC claims for mental health conditions. The Surrey Fire Fighters’ Association decided to use the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Association (BCPFFA) Legislative Conference (March 9 and 10) to bring Kevin’s story forward. This conference was combined with the BC Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial, where those that passed away, due to occupational causes, are recognized as Line of Duty Deaths (LODD). Firefighters from all regions across BC were in attendance to recognize the addition of 13 firefighters to the Firefighter Memorial.
Vice President Dave Burns made an unscheduled appearance at the educational portion of the conference to tell Kevin’s story. At that time, VP Burns asked the delegation to share Kevin’s story while they were meeting with their MLAs. Kevin’s story grabbed the hearts of all there, and everyone was in agreement that something needs to be done to prevent another First Responder from harming themselves.
Kevin’s story can be paired down to a few simple facts. Kevin’s string of emergency response events began in 2005, which played a significant part in his PTSD diagnosis. These emergency events were occupationally-related and accepted by WSBC. After discharge from his mental health practitioner, there was no mechanism or policies in place by WSBC to follow-up on Kevin’s mental health status. Ultimately, Kevin’s PTSD condition played a role in his passing last week.
In his address to the BCPFFA delegation, VP Burns provided a possible solution for consideration. By way of analogy, when you go to a dentist, they always make sure you are contacted for follow-up. In the world of First Responders, who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as PTSD or Major Depression, First Responders are left to fend for themselves after they are discharged by a mental health professional. WSBC should consult with the mental health community of practitioners, to come up with a set of criteria for post discharge oversight.
A post discharge policy could be as simple as a follow-up schedule for those who have had a diagnosis of PTSD, Major Depression, or other recognized emergency service-related mental health condition. The follow-up interval could have less frequency over time. An example could be follow-up after discharge of every 3 months for a while, then 6 month intervals, move to annual, every 3 years and so on. The policy makers can consult with the mental health professionals to come up with the format to follow-up with these struggling First Responders.
As a former firefighter and a member of group peer defusers who were regularly used to talk firefighters through difficult incidents, I can assure everyone that not all firefighters react the same to similar incidents. The saying goes, “an abnormal reaction to a set of abnormal events is normal.” What the saying doesn’t cover is that each person reacts and recovers differently and each individual will recover and react at different speeds.
As a Critical Incident Scene Management peer defuser, I spoke with six firefighters in BC who had been formally diagnosed with PTSD. Now there are five. What I can tell you is ALL of these First Responders had been with me some time after their diagnosis, and the conversations always led to tearful conversations. These people have been affected by what they saw, smelled, heard, felt and did, while at work performing their duties. It’s time for the organization that is responsible for protecting BC workers to look at this in greater detail. WSBC made some progressive changes to the Act on July 1 2012. They created criteria for mental health practitioners to use, and created a better understanding of how First Responders are affected by what they are exposed to. No longer could First Responders be expected to be “tough enough” to deal with any incident, just because they were First Responders.
What needs to be done TODAY, is for WSBC to develop a policy, with mental health professionals, to deal with post discharge patients. We need to do this before another wife, child and friend has to endure this type of tragedy. My heartfelt condolences go to Kevin’s family. I hope someday, they will better understand that Kevin’s work-related mental health conditions, were likely contributing factors in his passing. I hope Kevin’s story will positively impact another First Responder, and produce changes to WSBC policy to better follow-up with First Responders with accepted mental health claims.

Cosmic Events Of 2014/2015

COSMIC EVENTS of 2014/2015

The rabbis teach that blood moons--known as "lunar eclipses"--are a sign used by God to indicate judgment of the nation of Israel. They also teach that solar eclipses are a sign for the judgments of the nations of the world. The discovery of the lunar and solar eclipses in 2014/2015 in relationship to God's appointed Festivals in Leviticus 23, comes from Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries, in Bonner Lake, Washington. Click on this picture to watch the 10 minute Mark Blitz video presentation about the "times and seasons," and why we should be watching and anticipating the fulfillment of God's appointed times.

The four Blood Moon Lunar eclipses connected to God's Festivals during 2014-2015, occur as follows:

                                            Passover (1st Feast)                              April 15, 2014

                                            Feast of Tabernacles (7th Feast)             October 8, 2014

           

                                Passover  (1st Feast)                             April 4, 2015

                                            Feast of Tabernacles (7th Feast)             September 28, 2015

The two Solar eclipses connected with God’s appointed times during 2014-2015, occur as follows:

                         Adar 29/Nisan 1 (Beginning 1st Month)                 March 20, 2015

Feast of Trumpets  (Beginning of 7th Month)         September 13, 2015    It is extremely rare for this pattern of solar and lunar eclipses to fall on both Passover (1 Nisan) and Rosh HaShanah (1 Tishri) seven months later--particularly for two years in a row; then, a lunar eclipse a few days after Rosh HaShanah on Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in the same year (2015). Biltz was intrigued with the statement in the Scriptures that connect the second coming of the Messiah with “signs in the heavens,” particularly the signs that “the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood” before the return of Christ.   Writing about Mark Biltz's amazing discovery in the May 2008 issue of Prophecy in the News, J. R. Church declares, “This is most unusual.  It is a rare occurrence for four lunar cycles on successive Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) observances.  It will not happen again for hundreds of years.” He continues in a letter accompanying the magazine issue, “Four lunar eclipses occurring on the Feast of Tabernacles and Passover in two successive years are phenomenal.  But add to them two solar eclipses on the two days that open the Jewish year – Adar 29/Nisan1, just two weeks before Passover, and on Tishri 1 (Rosh Hashannah) – is uncanny.  On each of these six Jewish Holy Days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light.  Will this happen again in the 21st century?  No.  However, this phenomenon did occur in the 20th century during significant times in Israel's history; in 1949/1950, the year following Israel’s statehood, and 1967/1968, the year Jerusalem was liberated in the Six-Day War!  Before that, you have to go back to 1493 for four successive lunar eclipses on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles” (May 2008 letter).     Mark Biltz Video: Eclipses Part I - Signs, Seasons and Convocations" interview at Maranatha Chapel Mark Biltz Video: Eclipses Part II - Signs, Seasons and Convocations" interview at Maranatha Chapel

This is the song "Oceans" as performed by Willingdon Church, in Burnaby British Colombia, just this past Sunday. October 26, 2014. This Church is blessed with an amazing choir director, and choir, and God's favor. My daughters attended the church while very young, in the Pioneer Girls club. We still visit the Church every Christmas to see their wonderful Christmas life changing musical and drama production.
As mentioned, Deborah played this song accompanied by her beautiful voice in our home on her piano. 

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

It is an Honor to be Writing

It is a great honor to be writing. Yesterday, I particularly had many readers, and I thank God for you all.
Lately, I have been anxiously waiting for a video to come out on you-tube. I think everyone has from Scottie, on eternalrhythmnflow , (the link below is about the Pope)
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Qzg7op0-M
yup, just one word into you-tube. He hasn't come out with a video for some time, as his computer is slow. No matter the case, I've noticed that some of his followers on you tube have been getting impatient and almost mocking him for his "lack of contribution". I think many of us forget that I'm sure, he still needs to make a living, and has other things going on in his life. I hope that my readers don't get impatient with me if I don't write for a while. I think there is much sin in a multitude of words, and if one hasn't got anything to say, it is best to be quiet. I have also been keeping a small booklet as of this month, listing all the things we have been doing daily, in preparation for the wedding as well as my daily contribution to this household, just so that I am not called lazy. Otherwise, I will have to wait until my children have families of their own, so they have a comprehension of the inner strength, and physical strength, and mental strength it takes to pull off raising them. Slandering and older person comes easy, until they themselves get tired in the monotony, and tediousness of life. I forgive them though, because they know not what they are saying, and in the end, they will be enlightened...

Lately, it has been crazy getting Deborah's room somewhat ready for a Japanese student. I still have 2 twin beds including frames etc to be sold before this Saturday. I have decided that only a double bed fits, and I'm throwing out the idea of having two students in that room. With Deborah's Ikea, mirrored wall unit in there, two twin beds just make it overcrowded. Also, I don't think a homestay will appreciate having the beds pushed together either, in the event they can shower me with two students. I also have been calling Cedar Grove, Surrey as to when the youth bazaar sale will be on, so I can donate generously, all the  excess items we have been collecting in our garage, thanks to my frugal purchases. This event by the way is on April 25th I believe, so donations can be dropped off on Friday the day before.

Two of my family members are off doing our tax papers, including Deborah's our sweet daughter. I asked my children to contribute $10 for handling fees, as my dear husband will have to drive to Burnaby, and sit through the preperation of 6 taxation forms. They did not like this idea one bit, and was called a few names by some..... but as adults, I felt then they can get their own taxes done, if they don't want to pay this pittens of a fee.

I am thankful it is spring break and I have no ESL to teach these two Fridays. So everyone, enjoy your spring break whichever week it falls in your neighborhood. Smell the flowers, and enjoy the rain on the west coast.

O Death, Where is Your Victory?

1 Corinthians 15:53 (Amplified Bible) 52

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). 53For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death). 54And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished [h]forever) in and unto victory. 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"

 With every birthday we are getting closer to our death. What was so blatantly  real to me shortly after Deborah's death, was how confidently everyone was going about their business up in Whistler. People enjoying the sunshine, the activities. Now I even see some green tinsel on my neighbors door. I suppose it is for St. Patrick's day, someone I know nothing about. Even "Google" has dancing green men as I search my search engine. This carefree lifestyle is too much to watch. Though we are jubilant on our birthdays, we must realize that we are getting closer and closer to our death. Then comes the reckoning.
For instance I know a young man who wants to settle down, but he is still acting foolishly with his work colleagues. One almost thirty year old man, just bought a game suitable for a child. I wonder when we put away childish things, and act like adults?

In the course of the last six months, I have met people who lost loved ones to suicide. Some lost a spouse, some a child, others a sibling, others a parent. Someone I know had a lung transplant, some had cataracts removed, some had painful gout, some have swollen knees. We forget the brevity of life, and how we will be asked what we did with the talents and gifts God gave us. There will be accountability whether we like it or not. We must realize that time is running short, and there will soon come a day when we can work no more.

Even I, have gotten my option in the mail to retire early. Some people think they will be forever working, and not give a younger person the opportunity to take the position of an old soul.  I talked about this with an 80 year old lady, and she says, that the reason these old, very old, reporters are still on our television screens is because nobody else can do their job. I think we have to have a grip on reality, and see that we are all replaceable, and decaying at a rapid pace.  The bible says, and I'm paraphrasing here, that we digest our own years.

I see people of all ages, with many ailments. Many ailments we cannot see with our physical eyes, but they are there nevertheless; such as a person suffering from lung cancer, alcoholism or a broken heart. These illnesses all take a toll on us, and cripple and kill  us physically, spiritually or emotionally. The most common ailment is aging, especially in countries like Japan, and China. As one Jewish counselor said to us at one time that our greatest commodity is time.

No matter how much we exercise, put moisturizer on our faces, and use sun screen, and watch our diet, our end is inevitable. Why deny this? I will not spend a fortune delaying this inevitability. I embrace what is to come, especially my new body that was promised to us in the bible.9see verse above)

We are told..

"“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Matthew 6:19-20 ESV

Her would be 20th Birthday

Happy Birthday Deborah, we'll see you soon My Love

I don't know if I have a lot to say, except I started to clean her room a day before her would be birthday. The family was cross with me, as to how money hungry I am and why I would do this.... "it is too soon" they would say. It has been seven months no matter how we look at it. I have a short term student from Japan coming for a week, so I had to put in a desk, and such; create a shelf for their clothes in the closet and drawer. I told the family, that we are not Catholic, and her room will not be a shrine. I told the family, that it is never going to be a good time to do anything in that room, even to dust. We put our faces into her clothing, to smell her sweet fragrance and took deep breaths between our sobs.
We did have some visitors who stopped by unannounced. My house was a mess, as I earlier helped a young family find their first van. I was out driving them around till noon. After, I picked up a few groceries and by the time I arrived home, I had a big migraine. This is very unusual for me. A couple brought us pink, flowers, macaroons and a movie called "The girl on the Bicycle", a foreign film I had seen and enjoyed before. Another lady, the mom of one of Deborah's friends ministered to us spiritually, and made time out of her day to visit us.
 We had no plans for the day, except to go and take flowers to her at her graveside, so these kind gestures of distraction and kind words ministered to us. I am reminded of a lady who gave me a going away present before I had to leave a job at Surrey Memorial, dietary many years ago. It was a time when I was going through my divorce. The inscription on the clay basin reads,

"Count your flowers by their petals, not by the leaves that fall". As I photographed these beautiful pink roses we received yesterday, I couldn't help but see the fallen leaf. I am reminded not to dwell on the fallen leaf, but on the petals of Deborah's life. It is very hard. Very hard.

Thank you Bev Paetkau for this treasure you gave me so many years ago, in 1982. I have not met up with you since, but remember you as a kind, sweet, hardworking lady.

I Overcame The Monster called Patullo

Most of us living in Lower Mainland BC, know that the Patullo Bridge from which my daughter comitted suicide is a decapitated notorious, rust bucket that is an eye sore to all residents. Soon you will be facing a vote whether you want your taxes to go up or not. It is a lie that we in Surrey are going to get rapid transit, as from what I have read street cars are very slow, and are prone to all sorts of stalls. There have been a lot written about the "yes" or "no" vote in our local newspapers. Primarily, we are being asked if we want our taxes raised or not.

The replacement of the bridge is a no brainer, but it should not be tied to the funds to repair roads as well, in my humble view.  Translink will have to find other ways of finding the funds, such as reducing the wages of their CEO's is my view.

These are not the only reasons I'm mentioning the monster called Patullo. It is because I have conquered going across it the other day. I had a lady friend I had to pick up from Burnaby, and I only knew the way to her house via that bridge that Deborah took her life from. I was determined that it is not going to intimidate me, and haunt me for the rest of my life. I proceeded to drive in the center lane with the sun visor pulled down, so I'll see as little as possible. I did not realize at the time that it was on the left side of the bridge as I was heading north, was where the walkway was, where the angels were seen(see earlier blogs). I presumed it was on the right side. Of what I forcibly had to see was the rotted paint chips, tattered cold metal construction,  rust of all repugnant colours. Tight fitting cars, bend on the entrance, I bounced along the deck, as some spinal column that lacked the collagen.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I held my wheel tight, and tried to look ahead, second by second, till finally I was off the deck. This  piece of shit is where my dear Deborah was tempted by satan. The seed (thought) was planted, her desire to end her life was entertained. Then the lust for this deliverance from pain was germinated, which caused her to commit the sin of suicide. I have a hard time seeing her in desperation, grasp those cold rusty railings, as she let go to end her life. Instead of the warmth and love of family, she choose these bars to set herself free, of the chaos in her mind. Though I overcame my fear, I do not feel victorious. I must, however, like Pastor Finney Samuel said tonight, I must accept it as God's will for my life. Cancer, death, whatever may come, I know God has the best for me. He is omnipotent, just, and even greeted Judas as friend in the garden of Gethsemane. May we never forget how much our Heavenly Father loves us.

The 21 Egyptian Martyrs

This article was forwarded to me by a friend,via e-mail and sadly I do not know the source except for the information at the bottom which I posted for my readers.

After this horrific slaughter took place, many believers cried out to the Lord asking WHY would He allow this.  As the ISIS documentary and recruitment video of the event was seen around the world on the internet, the world became intimately aware of the obvious details of the slaughter.  However there is more to the story.  Some of the rest of the story can be seen hidden in the video footage itself. Let’s look at some of the deeper truths of this event:

**These 21 Christian men from Egypt came from the same village.  They had traveled to Libya to get work on construction projects to support their families back home, because of the lack of opportunity for employment in Egypt.

**Confronted with death threats, the 21 remained unflinching against the demands of ISIS. They flatly refused to convert to Islam or to recant their faith in Yeshua.

**An aerial photo taken of the execution site (which was a beach on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea) showed two lines on the sand. One line was all black … the result of the black garments worn by the murderers lined up … each one-on-one, standing behind a man that was to be killed.  The other line was bright orange … the result of the orange jump suits that those, who were about to be killed, were forced to wear.

**Close up video shots of the faces of the Christians revealed that the men were declaring something with their lips as they were being beheaded.  The lips could be read, speaking in Arabic, that Jesus Christ is their Lord.  No one was panicking or crying out for mercy.  They were on their knees, but it was not before ISIS. They were kneeing before their King, steadfastly declaring their allegiance.

**The blood of these martyrs was pouring out onto the sand and into the sea water.

**When the bodies were returned to the home village in Egypt, there was a funeral, unlike all other funerals.  This one was a feast … much like a wedding feast.  The faithfulness of the martyrs was celebrated, and forgiveness for the murderers was declared.

**With the funeral celebration being covered by the media, a mother, who had lost two sons in the slaughter was approached by an interviewer with the question: “What would you do if you saw one of the murderers of your sons walking down the street in front of your house?”  She said that she would go out to meet him … that she would extend her hand, and tell him that she forgives him, because he didn’t know what he was doing … because he lacks the truth.  She then would invite him into her home and seek to pray for him to receive the truth. 

Now, let me unpack some of these details for you a bit, as well as fill you in on some of the fruit that has occurred from this event.  NOTE: These reports are coming from very reliable believers on site in Egypt, so are accurate in their accounting.

**Consider the number of the martyrs … 21. That is 3 times 7.  Three in Hebrew is perfection.  Seven is complete.  21 martyrs tells us something is “perfectly complete” or “completed to perfection” … which indicates that this is a work of YHVH.  The Lord allowed this event, and He chose those, whom He could trust for this assignment, so that the Kingdom of YHVH could expand in the Middle East.

**Remember that the blood of the martyrs flowed onto the sand and into the seawater?  Scripture tells us in Revelation 12 that we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony, and by surrendering our lives unto death, rather than recanting our faith to keep on living.  Those 21 martyrs were ONE (echad) with the Messiah in the fellowship of His suffering and death.  As they were IN Him, and as He was IN them, His blood was mingled with the holy blood of their own sacrifice.  The blood of the martyrs for Yeshua is holy, and it is powerful.  Wherever it touches, revival is released. Martyrs’ blood ALWAYS fertilizes revival. Yeshua’s blood was mingled with theirs as it flowed onto the land and into the sea.  The currents and tides of the sea will carry and is carrying that life-giving blood the full length of the Mediterranean coastline, and to every country connected to it. Just think about that! What a game changer that will be in the region! Libya had better watch out!  There is a power stronger than Islam that has now been poured out upon Libyan soil.

**The announcement of forgiveness, and the joy expressed at the funeral feast, were the visible reality displayed, when the whole nation … and the entire Islamic world … was expecting to see fear, rage, revenge, and gnashing of teeth from the families of the slain.  This evidence of the Kingdom presented another major defeat to ISIS.  The words of the mother, who lost two sons, has caused multitudes in Egypt (and beyond) to wonder how this is possible. Moslems are now asking, “What is this truth … what is this power, that we are lacking!” Suddenly they are seeing that ISIS has come away empty-handed … looking weak and defeated.  Rather than the video being a vehicle to recruit more members, or to terrify potential victims into submission, it has backfired.

**In the aftermath of this massacre, Moslems are starting to consider what Islam is all about, and to consider other alternative beliefs.  Christians, who were misunderstood, are being reconsidered and consulted as sources of truth.  Christians, who were terrified of being killed are seeing the provision of the Holy Spirit in the video; giving peace to those, who are about to be killed for the faith.  A new boldness is emerging as fear is losing ground to faith.

**Perhaps the most exciting thing is the word of the Lord that is emerging after this event; saying that the first blocks of the pavement in the highway (prophesied in Isaiah 20: 23-25), between Egypt and Assyria, have been put into place as a result of this event.  Egypt could be coming into revival on a massive scale.  As Egypt embraces the God of Israel, she will become a strength to Israel.  Truly, we have not understood what the Lord has been doing through this event, which has sadden and shaken our hearts.  YHVH is in charge, and He is doing marvelous things beyond our ability to see or understand.

I suspect that we will be seeing more of these kinds of events and challenges for our hearts and minds to comprehend in the coming days, months, and years. Two difficult scriptures for many believers are the texts, which I have copied below.

Rev. 13:7-9 (NASB)

      7       It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. (NASB)

Wow … it’s hard to think that for a season, it will appear as if the people of YHVH are being defeated.  Having war made against us for our beliefs is a difficult thing; but then to add that we will be overcome in the process is VERY difficult to consider.  We want to think that we will always prevail. In reality we WILL PREVAIL, but not necessarily in the physical or material sense.  Our bodies, our physical freedom, and our material substance may be overcome, but in the spirit we will never be conquered as we cling to the Lord and to His truth.  We are seated in the heavens right now; standing in spiritual victory.  We just need to stay in the proper Kingdom order, reality, and priority. The temporal and carnal will pass away, but the spirit will endure. As we walk and abide in the Spirit, we will always possess the secure, high ground of the Kingdom.  We will not be moved.  Perhaps we need to start letting go of the temporal things that we cling to for security and assurance, and practice holding onto the eternal.

So that we don’t loose sight of the fact that these things are happening with YHVH’s plan fully intact, and for the purpose of coming glory, consider this text:

Rev. 30:1-6 (NASB)

          1       Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

          2       And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

          3       and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

          4       Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

         

Those precious 21 men, whose heads were removed because they held to the testimony of Yeshua, and because of His word, are now seated victoriously in heaven.  They are awaiting the time, when Yeshua will return to the earth to defeat all the enemies, who stand against His reality and sovereignty.  These martyrs will return with Him to rule as His governors across the face of the earth for 1,000 years.  Even when the final battle comes, when satan and all of his forces will finally be cast in the lake of fire, these chosen ones will never taste death again. They are living their eternal victory right now.  They are in the presence of the Lord NOW, and they will be perpetually in fellowship with Him as He rules on the earth and then throughout eternity.  They were chosen for this honor, and they didn’t fail Him. They presented Him with the BEST GIFT and with the greatest honor they could give. Oh, that each of us would do the same!! This recent event of martyrdom has hopefully changed all of us in the true Body of Messiah.  Hopefully it has opened our eyes to see our lives and our deaths in a different life.  Hopefully, it has inspired us to deeper a faith, and caused us to let go of the fear that satan speaks to us constantly.  When Yeshua said that He would be with us TO THE END, He also indicated by His words that He would be with us IN OUR END …
