Scripture References Found – 1 Corinthians 10, Ephesians 4, Isaiah 1, Philippians 2, 2 Corinthians 3, Ezekiel 11, Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31, and Hebrews 8
Note – Vee is one who likes to coin a phrase to see if it will get goin’? So. “Arrogant Antagonists!” “Who’s Christ?” “You cannot get a taste of the Lord through someone else’s mouth.” “Shut that door! Praise the Lord!” … Keep it going….
Declaration – It is going to be a while before I get over a he/she holy spirit being brought in by a stranger, to a weekly Tuesday night Zoom prayer meeting and Friday evening Vesper’s, in which I had been “faithfully attending” (Pastor’s words) for three years. After telling an elder and going back three times, receiving open group confirmation each time, of this happening, this Pagan teaching of the amalgamation of both sexes into the Holy Spirit, was accepted, excused, and made out to be no big deal by the preachers, teachers, and people.
No matter how many times ya’ll tell me to “Just get over it!” ?!?!?! It is gonna take a minute to sink in, okay?! : 0

Scripture References Found – John 16, Hosea 4, Luke 15
Note – (1) Ted Wilson is the President of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, which oversees the conduct and administration of regional Conferences and local Church Conferences. (2) Keep in mind that the Bible says that the “sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction.” It’s a good thing to know. (3) I was still iffy about Nathan. LOL I kid you not! By the time I met Nathan, I was of the mind; “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” And, today, test the Spirit/spirits much more carefully. Sorry, Nathan. Just the truth, brother. ; )
The feature image was taken in the alley, only about two days after the LORD rescued us (me and Dakota) from my own destruction. I include the picture, because of the taste into the word of my testimony- the story of Christ’s redemption, in this episode.
“It has come at last- salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth- the one who accuses them day and night. And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!………….”

Note – (1) An opening chat on my experience at Girl’s Camp and healthy eating, even when you po! LOL
(2) I believe that the Covid Pandemic, which I quickly started calling “Pandemonium 2020…2021…2022… … was actually what some religious circle’s call a “Crucible” or “Test” or what I also quickly began calling a “Shake-Up To Wake-Up” and a “Test of God to see how much we inhabitants of earth love our neighbors.” My Facebook memories will reflect this belief and attitude. At the time, I first tried getting the religious authorities to chill a minute and take stock and, after this failed, I used the first stimulus check to buy a flute. I had asked the Lord, in the current situation of isolation; “How can I best exhibit the faith that I have in You, Lord?” The Lord told me to buy a flute and practice re-learning to play it on my balcony. And so I did. It had been14 years since I last picked up a flute. Understand this too. At the time I bought the flute, I had no income. It would still be another five or six months before the SSI disability claim was finally accepted. I was still very much poor, when I bought my flute during Pandemonium 2020…2021…2022…
However, my belief on the Covid Pandemic was shot down by the religious authorities several times. And this concept, along with what Nathan and I are talking about with the concept of saying “NO!” to the Booty, also being shot down, with seemingly no allies? I felt very very isolated in my beliefs. And it brought a dark and oppressive spirit over me. For a while, I posted the feature image for this Balcony Talk on my Facebook page. I didn’t know what else to do? I felt I could no longer be honest among my own people within the Seventh-day Adventist religion.
(3) Praise God for the technology of video recording!

Note – (1) I was still posting Balcony Talk specifically for Facebook. So you will hear me reference Facebook in this way throughout the episodes until sometime in February. (2) I said “attitude” in that way, because I had just told a religious “Yes” man that they needed an attitude adjustment. I kid you not! (3) In Christ, nobody is better than anyone else. (4) Nathan settled, and war broke out. There was an emergency at his job.
Additional Notes – I chose the featured image, because there is more going on than meets the eye. This is when the Lord began strongly cajoling me to “Look at Lot.” …. “Look at Lot!” …. LOOK at Lot!!” …. “LOOK AT LOT!!!” In the following episodes you will find out why, just as I found out why, the Lord kept telling me to look at Lot. And the joy in realizing that, the LORD God is fully able and capable of snatching a righteous person (a believer) out from the fires of His Executive Judgements. As in the example of Lot, at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah….
Scripture Nathan Referenced Found – Hebrews 4

It was 139 heads of the Conferences and Districts of the Seventh-day Adventist World Church Corporate Religion that Ted Wilson called out. Not 169.
Praise God for video!
Note – This was when the Lord really started impressing upon me to look at the failures of the faithful in the Bible, rather than their successes, in order to mark out a straight path for my own feet.

I was experiencing a bout of vertigo, so please take my performance of the song with a large grain of salt? : )
The picture of the homeless woman with her dog is me. Vee. Clean and sober (and yes, you will hear me repeat this from time to time) and on my way back to camp from washing clothes-hence the laundry detergent on my buggy. I documented, with many pictures, the steps the Lord took me through in traveling the consequences of my choices of life-style, before I made that last eternal decision. Although I went waaaaaay far out there into the darkness? At least I knew it! There are many who walk in darkness, but don’t know it.
The buggy was also loaded down with corrugated advertising signs that the store next to the laundry mat had thrown away. Those signs make for a decent insulation for a tent in the winter – Pam and Charlie taught me that. I had gathered the advertising signs from the trash with the permission of the store owner and, after loading them onto my buggy, I took them back to camp. But not before taking this picture. ; ) There were enough corrugated advertising signs for both Pam and me to insulate around the walls of the inside of our tents. The leftovers went to Charlie Dawg, who was always the gentleman. But, he had a 10 man tent? Which would have taken every single one. Soooo LOL
There is also a large bag of dog food in the bottom of the buggy. I used to tell the folks with gym memberships; “You don’t need a gym to get into shape? Just push a loaded-down buggy around Nashville a year or two!? That’ll get’cha into great physical shape!” Yeah, they don’t like me, sometimes, ’cause I ain’t one to mince too many words, anymore. LOL

A poem that the Lord brought to me after an especially difficult night spent in watchful prayer.
