Emanuel means "God with us".
It was said of the baby Jesus, His name shall be called Emanuel.
1st Timothy 3:16 is a good strong reference for this idea.
Isaiah 9:6 and 9:7 also give light on the idea of the Almighty, invisible, omnipresent, all powerful, God, caused a babe to be born to a virgin ( a woman who had never known a man) (to the Hebrews when it was said of a young maiden that she had never known a man, it meant in the intimate sense of fully and deeply knowing to have his child)

As I walk along the rivers edge, the sun is at my back, and it is high over head, the Shadow of my self is short and close.
As my walk continues into the afternoon, the Shadow of my self is growing longer, and I see it and think why am I so large near the end of the day and so small at the beginning of the da…

As we journey forward, we should desire knowledge and wisdom of what is our true purpose in life's plan. The Elders have given us much to follow and gain understanding, if only we will seek the direction and learn the question we should ask, so as for Creator, to give us the answer and the wisdom to continue to mo…

Each day, I wake, I give thanksgiving for All Things...in the name of my Lord, Jesus Christ...
As my eyes wonder the pages of the bible and other spirit filled material, I gain in my comfort, for He is with me until I am no more on this our Mother Earth, with the knowing of this, I am also at peace with self.
Much can happen in the blink of an eye...so I always pay attention to each moment of each day...for I desire all my blessings allowed me each day, and for this I give thanks.
We tend to…

So many have come in the past few weeks with minds, hearts and spirits filled with just pure doubt in life itself...many ask why the killing, why the hunger, why the bitterness from one to another...Why...Why...Why...
I can not answer these questions and know for a fact that what I say…

Time is still moving forward,
We may stand still...but time move on even without us if need be.
We may sit and think and wonder why,what if,can I, should I...but as we sit, Time moves on.
We at times try and make things the way we think they should be, we think if we can just look at it from every angle we will make it better...but as we are thinking, Time moves on.
We at times listen to so much around us that matters not, if we would only listen to the Creator and do His Will all will be fine..…

As I move forward on my journey I find that it gets even harder,
as I look forward, I see a fork in my path,
now is the time in which I must pray and ask for direction...yet,
the finial decision is mine to make, and once made you can not turn back, you must move forward and find what is at the end of this path...is it, another fork or is it truly coming to the end of the journey...this will not be known until it is time and Father our Creator allows this to be known to you with in your and my…

I have built a sacred fire for the purpose of giving thanks for All Things and for all whom desire to find pure truth in the flicker of the flame.
I pray to Creator, as I sit and feel the warmth of the fire. I find true peace as the flames flicker and dance and tell the story of life. I watch each tip of each flame to see what truths it holds and how it applies to me and my journey. I have the sacred ashes of the first fire that was gifted me while in Cherokee, with these ashes, I can feel the…

As always in my life,
I give thanks for All Things in my life and I do this with pride and free will,
the thing that I must pray for to change daily is simple...it is Myself,
Creator, has designed all things for a purpose, and if we just do as all has been planned, life and its treasures will be allowed us...but again I say, Great Spirit...allow me to be humble, to serve all, to desire Your Will, to do Your Will, as it is designed. Give my spirit the knowledge that my mind may not be ready for,…
