Dear Doves,

        I thank God for you and the blessings I have received from reading this site. I have been interested in writing for a while. This letter forced me to answer. I have been saved since 1990. In 1995, I began experiencing body pains. Sometimes they were so severe all I could do was sit in a chair and not move. I visited several doctors who could not help. I noticed when praying for family members, the suffering in the world, or salvation for the unsaved, the pain would worsen. I finally visited a doctor who was able to prescribe a medication which is a serotonin uptake inhibitor which seem to help. I have been relatively pain free until the last 2 weeks. This weekend and the beginning of this week have has been the worse in years. I blamed it on the bad weather we have been experiencing here in the northeast. But, I do believe it is more than that.

        I look forward to the Lord's coming for His Church and to finally see Him face to face. I pray daily for His appearing. During the past several months I have been seeing numbers in various places, digital clocks, odometers, license plates and advertising signs. Numbers like 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999, 1010, 1111, and 1212. At first it only occurred once or twice a week, then daily, now it is several times per day. I have prayed about it and asked the Lord to help me discern it is from Him. 11/11 is the day Yasser Arafat was pronounced dead. 2/22 was the day of the earthquake in Iran at 5:55 in the morning. Believe me I am not interested in reading more into this than what seems reasonable. Yesterday, while purchasing fuel for my car the pump stopped at 22.20. Last night while reading an article online the writer referenced Rev. 22.20 "He who testifies about t! hese things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" Very peculiar! One more thing. The other night while laying in bed I am not certain if I was awake or not, I heard someone say "Friday is your last day.". That was the entire statement, that's it. I have no idea if it is tomorrow 3/4/5, or some future Friday, or it means nothing at all.

        Yes, in these "last days" I am experiencing much pain. But, it is worth it. The Lord has sent His Spirit to comfort me, and be with me until he comes. Each day he tarries is one more day I will try to live for Him.
 

In Jesus' service,
