God has smiled on me. Now that I am an Neunoctogenarian, and I never thought I would be one, I am enjoying it immensely. My young medical Doctor said: "You're not getting old, you are old!" I lunched with a 98 year old man yesterday on my Campus. He made me feel young.

I really don't feel old within myself. I feel like an adventurer. Some kind of instinct inside says: "In Christ you're ready for death, but cultivate that eagerness to feel more quality in your life here. Don't vegetate. What's yours, Caleb Elroy, is yours forever. You're a pilgrim on this planet. Never forget it. Touch people more purposefully. Accept eagerly this new chapter. Death, when it comes is not a period at the end of a sentence; it is a comma!”

Our Christ-like deeds are ours forever in some form of 'accretion'; I do believe.

I'm so glad I've lived long enough to have, now, two great grand children!

Last week I memorialized my cousin Evelyn in her release from a diseased body and homegoing in Los Angeles. Jackson her great grandson, a brand new baby, was present. It was a wonderful celebration. A baby symbolize so much. If a baby could reason in its mother's womb it wouldn't want to be born. The

baby has warmth, nourishment and a vibrating satisfying life. Birth is like death. It is passing from one form of life into another. We are born into physical bodies; I believe we live in a universe that conserves all energy. Nothing truly dies within it.

The over 5000 fellow Americans went through almost instant calicination in New York City. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord of the Universe." Our bodies are the physical material loan of our Creator. We don't really say: "Goodbye" when a person dies. We say “Thank you for being a part of me. You are now no longer limited by time and space.”

Evelyn, my cousin was born out of Space-Time relationships. We returned it to the Ocean from which it came. She was not just a body she had a body. She was not just a brain. She had almost eight different brains. Yet the same brain because she had memory.

I believe those we love come even closer than before if we allow them to. All of us are works in progress. God is not through with any of us yet.; Even as my thoughts and life touch each of you, so each of you, too, are touching others positively, helpfully or negatively, The goodness or godlikeness we do is ours as is also the evil. We always have choice. Life in time is the great Gift from God. What we do with it is our gift back to God. I believe more than anything else, that God is Mind. In the highest sense too, we are mind.

Blessings and Shalom (Peace) to each of you. Thanks for Scrolling.

The Patriarch, Caleb

Praying for you,always.
