Tlitha Qumi - Yes, Those Are Real Words

Enough with the babbling about new beginnings. Looks like I've been doing that for years. I'm finally LIVING the new beginning. Thus the Aramaic title of this entry: it's biblical, kind of like my mid-life crisis. Mark 5:41 - And taking the hand of the child he said to her, "Talitha Koum", which translates as, "Little girl, I say to you, get up." Now, I don't care what bible translation you use or if you even believe that reading the bible will help you get through life (which it will), that's powerful stuff. Those words mean a lot to me. Doesn't matter what religion you follow, or if you chose no religion at all.

I needed someone to help me get up recently, still ongoing in fact. I suffered a pretty major fall in mind, body, and spirit. I did The Wrong Thing. That I picked Jesus to help me up is beside the point. So if you're bristling that I'm going on and on about religion, just stop it.

Melinda Emanuel is rising up. That is not a boastful statement. It's just a fact. I was out of it, folks. One short ride and a tight fitting jacket away from locked up for good. And my body? Completely broken. Spirit hung up a sign and stepped away for a quick break. It was Not Good. Now, I'm back, as if from the dead, and God willing, better than before. Can't go wrong if I just keep doing what He tells me to.

So you can sort of ignore previous posts that might mention things that make you gasp. Great, now you're gonna scroll down. Hey! Up here. Thanks. Um, yeah, gonna keep it fairly clean now, because it's all about lifting people up. Life is hard enough as it is, and the general consensus is that Life has gotten crazier for everyone on the planet lately. People are freaking out.

I believe it's my job to help you calm down a little. You know, amuse and enlighten you. As for myself, it's time for dinner. Later!
