I appreciate the encouragement! I certainly have determination, love and perhaps a special gift from God to see clear glimpses through the veil that blinds the world from reality. I don't see it all, but I see enough to know that faith is worth fighting for. Every now and then during the day, like a waking dream, I see a brief mental "visual" that is clear as watching a movie -- it starts with deep blue skies, then majestic mountains, then the sound of birds and running water, and then unbelievably beautiful gardens, running brooks, waterfalls and forests and contented people going about their business. It comes like a sudden jolt and leaves me breathless for a moment. I could be in an elevator when it comes and a huge smile used to come over my face. People I know would smile and ask curiously "what is it?" I'd have to explain that I just thought of something. Lately I've gotten good at keeping a straight face. I think people can't understand why you could go from the grim serious corporate facial expression to one of sudden joy as if you were watching a cool Walt Disney movie like "Lion King" or something. They probably think you're high on something. When you've seen what I've seen then you know a good future for mankind is sure, like people naturally sense a lot of things they cannot explain but it just seems to happen.
