Dear John, Tony, and all Doves,
      One of the things that is interesting about Matthew 24:32 is what is said just after it about summer being at the doors. We read in the book of Revelation about the promise to the Philadelphians about their going through the open door. Is this a special door in the heavens before the arrival at Heaven and the gate of entrance there? It is interesting that there is reference to either doors or gates in the Scriptures. There is a sheepgate, Psalm 118:19 states about a prayer "open to me the gates of righteousness," the Christ/Messiah says he is like a door, elders would sit near the city gates. A gate can be seen through but a door is solid. One must trust who and/or what is beyond that door in order to go through without knowing what is on the other side. Thank you Tony for helping me ponder summer anew. We may have a very special week ahead. May we watch together.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
