The Next Hurdle
I was so excited about everything I had read in Waking the Dead ..... so psyched ....ok then.... where is he going next?
My balloon deflated with a great rush of air.... the wind came out of my sails.... my ship stopped........ just sat there kind of rocking in the water.... saying "Lord, I don't believe this." Eldredge was telling me to pray this wrote prayer every day... their entire ministry staff prays this prayer...... every day.

First the Natural
To put this miracle into perspective, I guess I need to give a little more background to what I had seen about the battle. Eldredge had painted a picture for me through a series of movies, which began to open my heart to more and more look beyond the Matrix of what we call the Real World and look into a dimension that has become more and more real than what I can see with the natural eye.
The Rest of the Story :)
Anyway..... Ellen was saying, "Philip, you have to read this book that Jeanne sent you!"
If I have learned anything in our 40 years together , I have learned that when my wife says "Philip, you have to do..." something....anything.... that it probably would be a good thing for me to think seriously about doing it! :)

The awesome years
1999 - 2005 were the best years of my life... just learning this moment by moment walk with God where I didn't need to do anything.....just enjoy Him! I saw Him in everything that went on every day. Life was fun again.
After the 2nd Epiphany
When that second 32 years ended in June 1999 with my Epiphany at the fence , I realized that the first 32 years had also ended in June..... 1968.
I thought also about Ellen and I entering into our lifelong partnership in June..... 1969. June has been very good to me. :)

My Second Epiphany
and so....the second 32 years began.... each year, doing everything that the church told me do, 32 years of it, bringing me closer and closer to the fence !
Amazing!
I mentioned before, how significant the past 2 years have been in my life.......especially since things changed so radically for me in 1999 with what I call my "Epiphany at the fence" .... so many different things over these past 8+ years..... maybe tomorrow we can get to that. Today I can't get over the awesomeness of discovering 2 years ago that my Father really, I mean really, really loves me!
