JESUS: He's My Friend


Not one for CHURCH, or HOLY ROLLIN', ya see…

Always came by my Soul-Power naturally

Tho' I've always felt a kinship with ole J.C.

'Cuz he seems like a pretty nice dude

To me.

On February 18, 2011, it was a Full Moon and I had a dream about Jesus.  I know this because I kept a dream journal and it states quite plainly on the page:

"* February 18, 2011 - Full Moon * I see JESUS.  His face appears, glowing & shining, emitting love.  I find all sorts of "Jesus-like sayings" (scripture?) popping into my head…."

Anyhow, the dream goes on and it's this intense vision of me and Chris going thru some kind of disaster: The walls of our bedroom melting, the room quaking, fuses blowing, sketches of my own terrified face appearing on our bathroom wall…. In short, a real freak-show.

I actually woke from that dream because of the powerful sensation of our bed vibrating. (ßI know, I know.  Linda Blair territory, you're thinking.  But no - this was something different.  I don't really know what it was.  But it went pretty far beyond my usual LUCID DREAM adventure.)

So I guess it was around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning when this dream woke me, and I got up quick and scuttled into the bathroom to write it down.  I remember I kept double-checking the wall to see if there was indeed a sketch of my face up beside the mirror - somehow fully expecting it to still be there, like it was in my dream - and relieved that it wasn't.

Ok, so this next part is NOT a dream.  

It's the next day and me, Chris, Ellie (ßshe was still alive and would be for another 4 months) and Herman take a drive to CVS for a prescription. 

I'm online at the prescription desk and a black woman approaches me, she's perhaps in her early 70's but it's hard to tell.  Very down-home Southern accent.  She has her grandson with her, and he looks to be about 10 years old. 

She puts her hand on my arm and goes: "Jesus wants me to bless you, child."

I just look at her, thunder-struck.  The store is crowded as all hell but suddenly it feels like nobody else is anywhere near us - altho' I definitely sense people starting to stare, as she raises her voice:

"Jesus tells me that you are needing him to come into your heart STRONG, my girl."  

And without even giving it a THOUGHT, I find myself blurting out MY DREAM to this woman.  I tell her: "I SAW Jesus last nite, Ma'am.  He came to me in my dream.  It was very intense.  I don't think I've ever had a Jesus-Dream in my life until last nite…"

She tightens her grip on my arm and just starts SPEAKING IN TONGUES - her eyes are rolling back in her head, the works.   She does this for like 2 full  minutes or something, getting louder all the while.  The sensation in my arm reminds me of my bed vibrating in the dream…

And then she's finished - POOF - she lets go of my arm.  I'm stunned.  I look at her grandson and say: "Does she do this a lot?"

He looks bored, goes: "Sometimes.  Not a lot."

The woman grabs a pad of hot-pink  Post-it notes from her shoulder bag.  Jots down her name and telephone number.  Hands it to me.  She's some kind of pastor.  Calls herself   Apostle _____.

"You call me any time my girl.  If you need me, I am a phone call away.  Jesus is with you.  He will never leave you, you are his beloved child.  Remember that in the days to come."

And spontaneously, (for me, anyhow) we give one another a mighty hug.  I smile at her grandson and he gives a shy little grin back.  And then they're gone - making their way down the crowded CVS aisle together, and it's my turn on the prescription line and then soon I'm gone, too.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody. 

Love, Light and Jesus is Just Alright.
