Truth Can Be So Simple

I ran across this article today and thought it was worth mentioning. Why do we make our lives so complicated, when in fact, it can be so EZ! :-) I wondered if any of these parishioners had the thought that these three men were holograms? The Three Wise Men? I wish these guys would have shown up during all my years while listening to Sunday sermons!

After posting this I noticed the news channel did not open with the exact article so here it is:

North Carolina - Kannapolis churches abuzz about 'disruptions'

Kannapolis Police say something very bizarre happened at several churches this past Sunday. It was a disruption, they say, that left some church goers fearful and others saying “it's a God thing.”

Nearly a dozen churches reported the same thing to police: three men walked into their church during Sunday morning’s service. They walked right up to the pulpit and began speaking Hebrew.

David Lewkowicz is the pastor at West Point Baptist Church and understood what they were saying.

“They said things like, ‘God is peace, God is love, God is comfort, God is joy.’ That is all they said to me,” Lewkowicz said.

The men stayed at the churches for about two or three minutes, then left.

“They didn’t say anything bad about God or offend the church in anyway. They came in peace and left in peace,” Lewkowicz said.

Still some other congregations are concerned about exactly what the men may have been up to. One church reported the men dropping to their knees as they entered the door, then they got up and left.

Lewkowicz said it comes with the territory of being a pastor – he has to be ready for just about anything on Sunday mornings.

“We have to be open minded to anyone that may walk through those doors. Some people thought it was cool that some Hebrew guys came in and I understood them. They think it was a ‘God thing.’ We will have to wait and see,” Lewkowicz said.

Police said these men didn’t commit a crime. If they had refused to leave, it would have been a misdemeanor offense. But the church pastors said they were peaceful and posed no threat at the time.

Nevertheless, police want to know who these men are and what their intentions were. If you have any information you are asked to contact the Kannapolis police department, 704-920-4000.

Hi Ms Kristie,
I emailed you a reply but decided to post it also, it's a strange world we made where three men wishing you peace and telling you God is Love are suspect. Love you, Ging

Strange indeed - or maybe that says something about hanging out in churches when you could be hanging out in Spirit...
I wonder if anyone thought/said, "hmmm what could be the lesson, here?" :)

Love the new look of your blog!

Thanks for your recent comments over at my place. I decided to expand upon your thoughts a bit; they fit so well into my magical day. Thanks.

Hi Ging and Kate thanks for your comments. When one hangs out in Spirit, new sight is given and it becomes so apparent how many miss the truth because they are expecting it to show up in another form. Wishing you both joy, peace, comfort and love in my God way! :-) Life is magical - when we recognize the magi (3) appear before us!
