SPIRITUAL ENPOWERMENT FOR LIVING VICTORIOUS LIVING! MARY'S PLACE, REVEREND, DR. LINDA SMITH. THEME "DREAM BIG IN 2017!" BIBLICAL TEXT--JOSEPH AND THE COAT OF MANY COLORS, TELLING HIS OLDER BROTHERS, THAT HE WOULD ONE DAY RULE OVER THEM--WHICH JUST PISSED THEM OFF, TO NO END OR TO ALMOST THE YOUNG BOY'S END, ALSO, COMING BACK WITH A SECOND DREAM, THAT, THE MOON AND THE STARS WOULD BOW DOWN TO HIM! GOING ON TO BEING PUT DOWN A HOLE, HIS BROTHER'S TELLING HIS VERY DISTRAUGHT FATHER, HE WAS DEAD, KILLED BY A WILD BEAST, BEING CONVINCED BY A MORE COMPASSIONATE BROTHER, TO SELL HIM INTO EGYPT, LATER TO BE BROUGHT UP IN THE COURTS OF THE KING, CATCHING THE EYE OF THE QUEEN, WHOM HE REJECTED, LATER SHE ACCUSED HIM OF RAPE, SITTING IN PRISON, THROWN IN THE LION'S DEN, BUT, RESURRECTED, TO INTERPRET THE KING'S DREAMS, THAT EVEN HIS MAGICIANS AND SOOTHSAYERS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT, WHICH LED TO SAVING, ALL OF EGYPT AND HIS OWN FAMILY, BUT NOT BEFORE HE TOYED WITH HIS BROTHERS AND FATHER, FOR AWHILE, UNTIL HE BROKE DOWN IN TEARS, AND ADMITTED WHO HE WAS, AND LITERALLY, HIS BROTHERS BOWED DOWN TO HIM, AND ALL OF EGYPT DID TOO, INCLUDING THE MOON AND THE STARS, OVER THE HEADS OF THOSE WHOM HE SAVED, FROM FAMINE AND STARVATION, SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE DREAMS, THAT HIS GOD HAD GIVEN TO HIM! WITH THAT INTRODUCTION, REVEREND SMITH, WENT ON TO GIVE SOME POINTERS ABOUT DREAMS, BOTH, IN A DREAMLIKE STATE, AND SETTING BIG GOALS AND HAVING BIG DREAMS FOR YOURSELF, IN YOU LIFE, TO BRING POWER AND GLORY TO YOUR GOD, AND TO SERVE YOUR FELLOW MEN, TRUSTING THAT, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD, DEPRESSING AND BLEAK, AS THINGS, MIGHT SEEM, BEING IN PRISON, OR A LION'S DEN, BUT LATER TO BE RAISED IN TRIUMPH AND HONOR, FOR FULFILLING THE MISSION YOU WERE CALLED TO EARTH TO DO, "MISSION ACCEPTED!" WHAT IS YOUR MISSION, YOUR MASTERPIECE? MARY'S PLACE WAS STARTED, WHEN, A SOCIAL WORKER, I BELIEVE, SAW A NEED, HAD A DREAM TO FULFILL THAT NEED, AND STARTED, IT RIGHT FROM THE TRUNK OF HER CAR! NOW THAT IS FAITH! TODAY, THERE WERE 50 OR 60 WOMEN, BEING SERVED, WITH WORKERS SERVING BREAKFAST AND LUNCH, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, AND HEALTH INSURANCE PEOPLE THERE, COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND STORE, WITH THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS WOMEN, BEING MET, WITH CHEER AND SERVICE, MAKING LIFE ON THE STREETS, MORE TOLERABLE, BAREABLE, AND LIVABLE! THANK YOU! SO, SOME TIPS ON DREAMS--SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE--DREAM--MANIFESTATION OF ONE'S DEEPEST DESIRES! WHY ARE DREAMS IMPORTANT? (1) DREAMS GIVE DIRECTION; (2) DREAMS INCREASE POTENTIAL; (3) DREAMS HELP US TO PRIORITIZE; (4) DREAMS ADD VALUE TO OUR LIVES; AND (5) DREAMS PREDICTS OUR FUTURE! DARE TO DREAM, AND THEN TO ACT UPON THOSE DREAMS, IN SPITE OF PROBLEMS, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND OBSTACLES. BE LIKE JOSEPH. LIVE OUT YOUR GOD GIVEN DREAM! THE WHOLE PROCESS BEGINS WITH THE SEED OF AN IDEA. SOME GET A VISION, GIVEN FROM GOD. SOME PEOPLE DISCOVER THEIR DREAM IN A FLASH OF INSIGHT AFTER WORKING IN AN AREA FOR YEARS. SOME RECIEVE IT DURING A TIME OF PRAYER. OTHERS ARE MOTIVATED BY AN EVENT FROM THEIR PAST. THE REV. LINDA SMITH GAVE US 6 QUICK STEPS THAT CAN CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER AND HELP YOU DISCOVER OR FINE-TUNE YOUR DREAM: (1) BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY TO SUCCEED. YOU CANNOT PERFORM IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT FROM WHICH YOU SEE YOURSELF. (2) GET RID OF YOUR PRIDE. (3) CULTIVATE CONSTRUCTIVE DISCONTENT. (4) ESCAPE FROM HABIT. (5) BALANCE CREATIVITY WITH CHARACTER. (6) INVEST IN YOUR DREAM EMOTIONALLY. DREAMS HAVE TO GO BEYOND YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR FEELINGS. THAT IS WHEN JOSEPH BECAME A THREAT TO HIS BROTHERS; THEY COULD SENSE THE FEELINGS OF HIS DREAM. THEN YOU HAVE TO SEEK AFTER IT. IT TAKES HUNGER, TENACITY AND COMMMITMENT TO SEE A DREAM THROUGH TO BECOME A REALITY! (A) DREAM BIG IN 2017. DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR GREATNESS; (B) JESUS IS WAITING TO HELP YOU. GOD IS A GOD, THAT IS ANOTHER CHANCE GOD! (C) KNOW YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE. (D) WORKING ON THINGS THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO GROW YOUR POTENTIAL. (E) NEVER EVER STOP GROWING AND WORKING TOWARD YOUR DREAM! BELLEVUE FIRE TO THE RESCUE . . . RAPID FIRE, RAPID FIRE!

I DO BELIEVE, ON OF MY JEALOUS SISTERS, WHO USED TO LIVE IN BELLEVUE, PRETENDING TO BE ME, FIRE, HER, SHE IS A FAKE, A FRAUD, A LIAR!  THE MORMON NSA, IS PROTECTING HER, BY REFUSING TO LET ME MOVE MY CURSOR!  MY FAMILY MOCKED, AND TRASHED ME FOR HAVING A DREAM TO MARRY WHO, I DID, HAVING 4 FUTURE STARS, PERFECT CHILDREN, I HAD A DREAM TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL, GOT ACCEPTED IN TWO HOURS, NO LSAT SCORE NOR APPLICATION, HAD A DREAM TO BUILD MY FIRST HOME, FOUND THE EXACT HOME, RIGHT WHERE I SAW IT IN A DREAM . . . I HAVE HAD A HANDFUL OF VERY INFORMATIVE AND DIRECTIVE DREAMS!  BELIEVE IT OR NOT, LIVING HOMELESS, HAS GIVEN ME JUST THE VISION, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WAKING DREAMS, TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS . . . I HAVE A DREAM!  --DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, KING COUNTY, HOLIDAY COMING UP SOON TOO!

I THOUGHT, THEY MIGHT, LET GO . . . THIS IS A DREAM OF A WOMAN, WHO WAS IN ATTENDANCE TODAY, AT BIBLE STUDY, GREAT IDEAS!

ORDINARY PEOPLE FROM DALLAS, MAKNG DREAMS FOR THE HOMELESS COME TRUE!

• every year, on Christmas Eve, all the homeless are honored, with a gala, sponsored, I believe, by the Mayor and his crew, donors, and the contributions of others . . . they are all brought to some hotel, that is now, the Hyatt Hotel, used to be the Astoria, or something like that, but, I believe there is an event, that, the Mayor invited, like 2500 people to, who raise the money for this night, where the homeless are put up in a nice hotel, given room service, after a nice dinner, served, by none other than the Mayor, himself, now she lived there some time ago, so, I am not sure this is current or if he has not been, replaced by a female mayor?  Whomever?
• from the event, the proceeds, reached, like $30,000, and one homeless person, or family, is selected from the attendees, and, is actually, given a home, or that money is used, to put them into a nice living situation, their utilities, are paid for, all expenses, including food, I believe she said, in a nice area, low crime, without the fear of kids, being hurt or getting into gangs, and many of these people, without the basics to worry about, go back to college, have time to work, with a cushion of a few months, to, get, some security, to they can stay in that, nicer area, and actually, get the traction they need, to make a permanent change for the better, in their lives and the lives of their children!
• last year, when, I visited Durango, or now, maybe two years, there were some statistics that came out from the schools, which are very good, and some kids from high risk homes, mixed in with, the more affluent kids, from, nice areas, tended to, be protected from, those, worries, of food, shelter and clothing, and, they found, that they thrived, just as much as their less challenged schoolmates!  We have to meet the basic needs of people, to make a change, we need to give them a lifestyle change . . . Charity is a poor substitute for justice!  You may say that is charity, but, I say, it is justice, that will have endless dividends, benefits, and change lives!  This woman, said, now if we could multiply the efforts of Dallas, and expand to Houston, or Seattle, or wherever, and even challenge the city fathers and mothers to provide, a bit more or for more families, soon, we could start to turn over, lives, that can, end up, lowering crime rates, lessen juvenile detention, truancy, and as we are seeing, with the MORE PERFECT UNION, efforts in Boston, working with cops and kids, the homicide rate, is down to fucking 0!  That could be your kids, your wife, your daughter, your son, your husband, who is saved, by opening your heart, and looking at things differently!
• GOOD IDEAS OUT OF SALT LAKE CITY . . . GIVING VACANT HOMES, TO THE HOMELESS, SOLVING TWO PROBLEMS, THE HOMELESS ISSUE, BUT LOWERING CRIMES FROM THE BLIGHT OF VACANCIES AND VANDALISM!
• GOOD IDEAS ARE EVERYWHERE!
