The angels who announced Jesus’ birth, sang “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:24 KJV

Angels do not make wishes. They make pronouncements.

Their message stated that the birth of Jesus would bring PEACE to the Earth.

PEACE means “It is Complete!” … which is what Jesus said on the cross, “It is Finished.” (John 19:30 KJV)

PEACE is on the lips of many today, especially in the presence of war, but true PEACE is not a temporary tolerance ... true PEACE is a celebration.

It is important to note that the definition of PEACE in Heaven is not the same as the definition we use on the Earth. We have corrupted it and lessened it to mean a small fragment of what it is supposed to be.

If we want true PEACE, then we have to embrace what is already established and finished in Heaven, and welcome it into our lives on the Earth.

SW - 20230204

PEACE is Divine Intelligence.

PEACE cannot be fooled.

PEACE is Timeless Truth.

PEACE divides between Spirit and Soul.

PEACE discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

PEACE is Love.

PEACE is Generous.

PEACE has infinite resources.

PEACE has no limits or loss.

PEACE is certainty, prosperity and security.

PEACE is Joy.

PEACE is synchronicity.

PEACE is Pre-Forgiveness

PEACE is favour.

PEACE is not a human construct.

PEACE is not an agreement between enemies.

PEACE is not a negotiated border.

PEACE is not a fraction or segment of a larger reality.

PEACE is Life.

PEACE Heals.

PEACE is the Spirit of God.

A Pure Thought ... is a singularity.

It has no impurities.

It has no beginning or end.

It has no precursor, and it leaves no trail from which it came.

A Pure Thought ... miraculously slips through the gauntlet of human conditioning & response.

It knows nothing of cost or effort.

It knows nothing of self-ambition or strife.

It uses no formula or filter in its making.

It is not slowed down by process.

A Pure Thought ...  has no limits or permissions, because it has no tether to synapses or cerebral media.

It arrives out of the blue.

It lives in the moment.

It is more like a question than a goal.

It is more of a wonderment than an intent.

A Pure Thought ... exists for one, glorious, fraction of a second ... when we allow ourselves to embrace Love, Forgiveness, and Endless Possibilities.

A Pure Thought ... can change the world.

If Engineering was like the stock market

Then blueprints would have no muse
And buildings & bridges would crumble down
With the release of each morning's news.

If Health Care was like the stock market
Then doctors in life-saving gowns

Would have no medicine to heal the sick

At the start of each mornings' rounds.

What folly is this?

What fickle meme?

What token aid?

What scheme amiss?

Purposefully renders recession?

If Stock Markets were like the stock market

Oh wait! I forgot! It is!

Then why do some investors make money

When the people they serve just fizz?

SW - 20221018   

There's a great little shop

That does repairs

Where broken people

Take their wares.

So I took the Earth

To have it assessed

The Artisan said

T'was quite a mess.

He said "Leave it here

I'll do My best."

And so I did

You know the rest ...

I picked it up

In perfect condition

But over the years

It saw perdition.

So I took it back

And what do you know?

He polished it up

And made it glow.

And on and on

The cycle went

Up and down

Like Etna's vent.

Until one day

The Repair Shop said

"It's in bad shape

I've called Code Red!"

"But do not fear

I'm specially bred

To raise the damaged

From the dead."

SW - 20221018

I found the Lord

And the Lord found Me

High on a hill

Overlooking the sea

Where stormy winds

Buffet the coast

I heard Him say

"I love You the most!"

"I love You the most

When You save the lost

And heal them all

Despite the cost

I love You the most

When You size up the view

And 'whistle in the wind'

The whole way through."

Shalom is what Life springs from.

Shalom is not the strength to endure a problem, rather it is the wisdom to solve it.

Shalom is answers, deliverance, power, forgiveness, warmth, compassion, control, counsel, and the multiplication of all that encompasses New Life.

Shalom is the opposite of all that is lost and barren.

Sheila Willar - July 25, 2022

Which power is greater? The power to create, or the power to destroy?

The answer is ... the one that happens last.

Out there

Where infinity runs true

In all directions

There is no Epicentre

Except for the

Holy of Holy's of God.

It is where God's "Definitions"

Are kept.

It is a singularly pure entity

From which all of creation

Draws its Identity.

And yet!

It has no definitions

For most of what you know

Because most of what you know

Is man-made.

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,

I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

In God's world, self-control, is about what you run to, not what you run from.

Self-control is an act of reverence ...

like carrying a bowl of water through the desert, trying not to spill a drop of the life-giving essence.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

As the spotlight pans the stage,

God will say "I gave you my Son!"

While they knock on wood.

The sandals on the porch,

Wait for tiny barefoot toes,

The towels on the rail,

Dry with sun-kissed cotton clothes.

The sea-glass on the sills,

Sparkle blue-green in the sun,

The sea birds on the wind,

Beckon "Come!" to everyone.

The dreamers on the dunes,

Set their surf-boards by the door,

As they laugh and take a rest,

At their home down by the shore.

If I look for you,

And there’s no sign,

Then I feel like,

With a simple glance,

And a casual,

Sleepy yawn,

You jump out at me,

And suddenly we,

Talk from dusk,

Till dawn.

The word “hide” comes from the root “to love”.

Hiding was never meant to describe what we run from, but rather what we run to.

Instead, they hide in the love of God.

Courage is better than a pious spirit,

And gold in the pocket is better than none,

The universe is praying for us,

To wake up and have some fun.

Because we are already there,

To soothe the weak and sorely stressed,

And enter into Heaven’s Rest.

Jesus met a man one day,

“Me too! I’m done with them!

My Father deserves the lauds!"

A beautiful star came to earth,

And soon a heavenly garden grew,

Up from a heart of love.

The only benefit of finding fault in others, is that it reveals the hypocrisy in ourselves.

Sometimes at night people are afraid,

SW - February 9, 2017

Put me together piece by piece,

And roll me down the hill,

Shall my strength accumulate?

Or shall I take a spill?

Whatever the case,

My parts are true,

In sleet or snow or rain,

For I will be my greatest when,

God puts me back together again.

SW - March 15, 2017

Oh! To stroll a deserted beach,

With sand as soft as silk,

And climb the dunes above the sea,

O’re waves as white as milk,

Where wind and spray upon my face,

Rise on my skin like dew,

And I can turn and gaze upon,

Someone as great as You.

SW - March 15, 2017

The problem isn't big business, or politics.

Nor is it religion or engineering.

The problem is that we pick up the same old broken baton, and run with it as fast as we can.

SW - February 17, 2017

When God's Light shines,

On my embryo soul,

That which is love,

But that which is hate,

Smoulders like coal,

Releasing its fate,

And taking its toll.

The inner clockwork of the moon,

Tracks seasons just for sport,

When sultry summer days go long,

The sparkling nights go short.

But then in winter when the sun,

Drifts quietly off to sleep,

The full moon stretches forth her wings,

And children count their sheep.

SW - January 13, 2017

The moon and the owl,

Have a lot in common,

They are famous for the night,

Their days are silent,

But in stealth they await,

Before launching themselves in flight.

SW - January 12, 2017

The moon and harvest are one accord,

Each tells the story of the other,

It was written down in ancient times,

That a friend gives His life for a brother.

SW - January 13, 2017

Down in the thicket where the hedgehogs play,

Down where the foxes are held at bay,

Down where the spires are pressed like hay,

There rests a diamond I lost the other day.

It sparkles when the moon scatters the light,

It howls when the loon launches in flight,

It bristles when the squirrels hunt for a bite,

And it sings to me both day and night.

Victory is God's,

And it cannot be buried,

Even if the battle's been lost,

It doggedly waits,

At heaven's gates,

Despite the hoary frost.

Frozen ferns,

And rose hips on ice,

Quiver with silver gloss,

But deep within,

They stir again,

Their joy cannot be lost.

If you were there the day He made them,

You'd see the trees and animals in awe,

Their eyes grown wide as He split aside,

Two beings from one without flaw.

If you think that they are not equal,

If you think that Heaven made a fraud,

If you look for weakness in gender,

Then you look for the devil ... not God.

SW  -  November 12, 2016

God created cis gender.

The devil created "masculine and feminine".

Late one evening in the dark of night,

A plague infested bug took flight,

It asked consent and then took a bight,

Of Jesus Christ who did not fight.

The bug flew the prize back to its nest,

To brag o’re the blood with all the rest,

But as it did ... Jesus healed the pest,

And from then on its bite was blessed.

Like but don't hear,

Hear but don't heed,

Heed but don't care,

And care but don't believe.

SW  -  November 12, 2016

I wonder how long we can sit here and think,
From our perch on top of the dunes?
Is it enough to mull and wink,
In the lee of the castle ruins?

Hard is the day when streams of sand,
Echo the bagpipe’s tunes,
And mourners carry her final breath,
A life over way too soon.

SW - June 5th, 2017

Dying will never be enough,

For a human to make amends,

Death is but a futile bluff,

To forge the freedom of friends.

Unless of course the blood is pure,

And the will of Jesus bends,

To pay the price of pardon itself,

And proclaim "The sentence ends!"

SW - June 13, 2017

In case you haven’t noticed,

I Am the one who died,

I paid the price so all My friends,

Could stay very much alive.

And then I rose so you could too,

So My blood could be yours,

And when you come a knocking,

I'll open wide the doors.

SW - April 11,  2017

Generally speaking,

The pressure is peeking,

The dams are squeaking,

The cracks are creaking,

To keep them from leaking,

And too many secrets,

To keep them from freaking.

The sky swooped down,

And carried me away,

Into its arms of blue,

At night we became,

A veil of stars,

And by day,

A blanket of dew.

Swirl, swirl,

Swirl in the wind,

Run the back yard,

Like children again,

Reach to the sky,

In you own skin,

No one knows better,

Old Man River draws from from high in the snow capped mountains,

And from a silver basin of wells that are a thousand miles wide.

When the river turns, we turn,

When the river runs fast, we run fast,

And when the river slows, we slow,

Until the delta and the shores of the ocean,

meet as One.

Winter shadows upon the snow,

Autumn shadows upon the leaves,

Are a dusty golden hue.

Spring and Summer cast a shade,

Of green upon the view,

But when the earth cries out for help,

Only Your shadow will do.

SW - 20170717

We won't be judged,

Against earthly standards,

We won't be judged,

Against what others have done,

But we will be judged,

By the cloth we were cut from,

For failing to be all,

That we were meant to become.

SW - December 18, 2017

The earth is full of ruins,

How many before us have become undone?

Is this the Age of Wisdom?

Or is this another dry run?

For by Him were all things created,

that are in heaven,

and that are in earth,

visible and invisible,

whether they be thrones,

or principalities,

or powers:

all things were created by Him,

and for Him:

And He is before all things,

and by Him all things consist.

And buries them in the sea,

God is not intimidated,

By men who make decrees.

That the words you pray,

Are filtered through,

All the words you say?

Be it a saint or a snake,

A gem's worth is in the Light,

Be it clear or opaque.

A framework of life within,

While seed and sap sit round the fire,

And wait their turn once again.

Though little it may be,

For you can unlock a kingdom,

With a teeny-tiny key.

And tortured until it burst,

But when it did,

The snow fell soft,

Though the devil had done his worst.

The living fail the dead,

But none more so than we,

Who eat of heaven's bread.

Bring me a donkey lest I dare,

Leave you to govern on your own.

And God said,

Let there be Light:

and there was Light.

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,

Surely as I have thought,

so shall it come to pass;

and as I have purposed,

so shall it stand:

And one [angel] cried to another, and said,

Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts:

the whole earth is full of His glory.

Mercy and truth are met together;

righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:

bind them about they neck;

write them upon the table of thine heart:

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the sprit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the [extreme reverence] of the Lord;

For by Him were all things created,

that are in heaven,

and that are in earth,

visible and invisible,

whether they be thrones,

or dominions,

or principalities,

or powers:

all things were created by Him,

and for Him:

And He is before all things,

and by Him all things consist.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

perfect - mend, complete, equip, intensify

establish - set fast, fix, buttress

strengthen - invigorate, make strong & mobile, move to achievement, effective

settle - lay a foundation on rock, grounded, consolidate

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
