It is hard for me to believe that I have not posted anything on this blog since June 2015. However, we have sent out notices via snail mail to everyone on our mailing list, giving the latest on Securing the Site for the Second Coming -- our ongoing purchase of an additional 55 acres of property that adjoins our present 33 acres.
Currently, today as I write this, November 6, we are just a day short of two months away from our deadline for our second payment of $57,000 plus $3,000 interest, for a total of $60,000; to pay for another 22 acres (Section B) of the overall 55 acres. This payment is due in full on January 5, 2016. Thus far, we have a little more than half of the necessary funds to make this payment.
We do have additional pledges for donations, which will be of a great help. However, until these pledges become a reality, we still need about $25,000 to make the full payment. We thank you for your ongoing prayers and donations in this regard. Our Father-Mother God is funding this purchase, with all of us playing our parts to call forth His-Her abundant supply.
Part of the reason why I have not posted anything in the last several months is that we had a most active summer and early fall. In July and August, we had to replace multiple major appliances in our two major buildings: a washer and dryer, a water heater, and a stove. Although we knew that these purchases were a possibility in the next few years, we did not expect them to be necessary so early or to happen within weeks of each other.
Then in July, we discovered that what we thought was a small roof leak in one of our buildings was in reality a major leak that let water behind one of the walls. When we opened this area up to investigate, it was filled with mold that had to be removed. Part of the wall and ceiling had to be replaced, and a new roof put on the house. Although our insurance covered part of this, we still had to pay for much of it. Together, the new appliances and roof repairs/replacement added $12,000 to our budget.
Moreover, we still are not finished with the roofing, as we need new gutters on the repaired area, plus on other structures, including our two carports. We hope to have this done, and all the necessary cleanup accomplished, in the next two weeks. Thank You, Spirit!
In the midst of all this cleansing and renewal, MariLyn had sudden and severe abdominal pain, caused by a gallbladder stone that blocked her gall bladder duct and her pancreatic duct, leading to pancreatitis. This was unexpected, and led to her having a cholecystectomy (removal of her gall bladder) to prevent a recurrence. Now, two and one-half months after her operation, she is mostly recovered. Her doctors said it might take as much as six months for her digestive system to fully rebalance.
Finally, in early September, Larry Peterson resigned from our Mark-Age staff and returned to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We thank him for all his marvelous work and for adding his unique spiritual vibration to our force field while he was here. We wish him well in his new role and continue to link with him in I Am consciousness.
Thus, it has been a time of much change. But, with our spiritual training and application of cosmic principles, we have moved through it and are ready to take yet new steps forward and upward in our spiritual demonstrations of love in action.
Now that I have gotten you up to date, I will close this blog, but will be giving you more details shortly in upcoming blogs, especially about the purchase of the new property. To reiterate, we have only two months to raise about $25,000. Therefore, we link strongly with Spirit and all agents of Spirit on all planes to see this happening in the right time and way, for the good of the Second Coming program.
God is blessing you, and so do we.
