Doves:

Perhaps you remember from my spring, 2003 dream.  Just after
FROM:  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2003/calvinm624.htm
"hitting the jackpot" on the slot machine and retrieving the "500"
check, I looked down the mountain and saw thick, dark clouds
coming up towards the child and I.  I knew we didn't have time to
cash the check before the violence / clouds reached us.  I associate
winning the "jackpot" with "being raptured".

This morning, I had to stay in the house where my father, an invalid,
was because the nurse is late coming in on Tuesdays.  As I sat
watching the TV, it showed the interim Iraqi governing council being
sworn in.  The TV was sitting in front of a window and there was a
storm outside with lightning flashing.  At the ceremony on TV, there
was a mural behind the inductees who were being sworn in that
looked like dark, storm clouds with a bolt of lightning.  Flashbulbs
were going off in the room which made it look like the whole bunch
were standing in front of a window with storms and REAL lightning
(from the flash bulbs) going off!!!  IT WAS ALL TOO REAL!!!

This ceremony is being held on the 153rd day of 2004, June 1st.  Also
in June (on June 30th) the new Iraqi government is to be sworn in.  ALL
IN JUNE!!!

While waiting on the nurse this morning, Callie Mae Phillips, our cook,
came into the house.  I asked how her husband, Eddie, was and she
said, "Not good."  Eddie is dying of cancer.

Eddie Phillips used to drive a tractor for me when I was doing some
farming.  He was a person who NEVER had a bad word to say about
ANYBODY.  He was and is as MEEK a person as I have EVER known.
Last night, one of his daughters was sitting with him and heard him
having a conversation.  She asked him who he was speaking to and he
said, "Willie Mae."

The fact that Eddie was talking to Willie Mae Baker, Callie Mae's sister,
was a great comfort to Callie Mae.  Willie Mae had died last year WHILE
IN CHURCH!!!  On her way into the service where she was just a few
seconds from dying, Willie may had been speaking to all in the congregation
saying, "I love you all!!!"  Willie Mae fell dead soon after entering the choir
loft (she sang in the choir).  A person sitting in the congregation told Callie
Mae later that she had seen a white angel just before Willie Mae had dropped
dead.  Callie Mae said the angel had come to get her.

Things are becoming ALL TOO REAL!!!

GOD BLESS!!!
