Rapture

Exposing the SECRET and ATTRACTING OVERABUNDANCE is the AIM.

About Me

A Survivor experiencing on-going REVIVAL...coming out again and again until I finally learn how to stand free and true to myself and my god-given birthright...Resilient...Warrior of Inner Conflicts (Wellbutrin-dependent). Discovering Inner Peace and Contentment. Spiritual but not Religious (don't get it twisted, big difference in the two!) Twelve-Stepper (learning to accept the things I cannot change) LOVER of the beautiful God-Man, JESUS but learning to love and let live and not get caught up in Pharaseeism and all that nonsense . In short, doing my best to accept, understand, and love myself and the uncertainty around me as I unravel and put to good use the gifts and talents that lie within me for the benefit of all who come near.

My Interests

Walking barefoot...Mornings with no wake-up calls....Rooting for the underdog....Lounging in the buff....sleeping butt naked....frying chuletas...laughing with people who are louder than myself...watching children sleep in safety...hearing Grandma curse up a storm because she still has it in her to do so...knowing I am loved unconditionally...hearing a loved one say "thank you"...admiring pedicured feet...lifting my hands in worship...forgiving and forgetting...waving my flag with pride...speaking "Spanglish"... finding my worth...hanging on...holding someone's hand in the dark...and knowing that I am ETERNAL.

I'd like to meet:

Looking for those who embrace TRUTH no matter how painful. Longing to be in the company of broken people who are comfortable with their shortcomings and deficiencies and have no need for pretense or masks. ALLERGIC to: Religiousity, "Christianese", Pretenders, Know-it-Alls, and those who insist on correcting other people's flaws and mistakes. Keep your PENICILLIN to yourself,please.

Who's Disoriented and Confused?

December 15, 2006: Set a watch and be on guard against a sense of being disoriented. The devil is trying to send confusion into My camp, says the Lord. I am not the author of confusion, but of peace. ...

Hey PO-PO, that was a NO-NO!

On the eve of tomorrow's Rally I am reminded that change is slow in coming, if at all. I am outraged and enraged at what has transpired once again. Another beautiful soul lost to racism and fear. No m...

Paciencia, please.

Since you love truth in the innermost places, I won't even pretend. I will not waste our time. I have not taken the time to talk to you lately simply because it requires too much time and attention. U...

With me, you have no other choice.

If you ever see me crying, turn away and pretend you didn't see me. If you ever see me laughing, jump in and add to the joyful noise. Just let me be and I promise to do the same. I have no desire to c...
