10<\/sup> let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead.

13<\/sup> The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14<\/sup> In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15<\/sup> Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16<\/sup> He told those who were selling the doves, \u201cTake these things out of here! Stop making my Father\u2019s house a marketplace!\u201d 17<\/sup> His disciples remembered that it was written, \u201cZeal for your house will consume me.\u201d 18<\/sup> The Jews then said to him, \u201cWhat sign can you show us for doing this?\u201d 19<\/sup> Jesus answered them, \u201cDestroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.\u201d 20<\/sup> The Jews then said, \u201cThis temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?\u201d 21<\/sup> But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22<\/sup> After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
\n–John 2:13-22<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

19<\/sup> Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?
\n–1 Corinthians 6:19<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

In Acts, we fine that God has power to heal, even to the extent of raising from the dead.\u00a0 He uses Jesus as his media to do this.\u00a0 This verse tells me that I should have hope, that as God acted through Jesus to raise the dead, and defeat sickness,\u00a0 He will work through my team of doctors and helpers (like my wife, she is THE<\/strong><\/em> driving force for much of my treatment) to heal me.<\/p>\n

I must have hope, that even if I am not cured, that we will discover enough information that will either prepare my children to deal with this in their lifetimes for either themselves, or their offspring,\u00a0\u00a0 My chief concern is not that I will diminish.\u00a0 It is that if this is a genetic condition passed down through the ages, then my progeny will also be plagued with this evil.\u00a0 That, is my driving force for discovery and why I try to document everything.\u00a0 Maybe, just maybe, it will pay of for them, if not for me.\u00a0 I do have to note that twice, my documentation has resulted in an increase in efficacy of treatment.\u00a0 When I have gotten bad, people read my words and choose an appropriate direction of treatment for which I was the beneficiary of.<\/p>\n

Note: I just realized in typing this, if it is Kennedy’s Disease, then my nephew’s have a 50% chance of developing symptoms.\u00a0 I have 6 sisters.\u00a0 They all have boys.\u00a0 My one brother had no children.\u00a0 My oldest nephew is in his early forties, which is when the disease is supposed to start showing its symptoms.\u00a0 The test is coming.<\/p>\n

John describes the forthcoming resurrection.\u00a0 I don’t expect to be crucified and taken into Heaven.\u00a0 No, I’m not that arrogant or narcissistic.\u00a0\u00a0 Close, but not quite.\u00a0 But, in applying it to my life, I am the destroyer, or more appropriately, my bloodline is.\u00a0 It is up to my Holy Father to rebuild this temple.\u00a0 No doubt, it will take a considerable more time period than three days.\u00a0 We are well beyond that.\u00a0 However, grace and glory go to Him working through the teams of people showing me support.\u00a0 Even my wife’s coworker is using her mind trying to find information for me.\u00a0 I am constantly amazed by the support that God’s Angels on Earth are showing me.\u00a0 They come from no where and are every where.<\/p>\n

We have good, caring people in this world.\u00a0 Social and traditional media do not show what is truly in people’s hearts.\u00a0 And we do not readily expose it.\u00a0 I wish we did.<\/p>\n

God wants us to work together to rebuild His temple on Earth.\u00a0 We have squandered the gifts He has given us.\u00a0 We need to reclaim and refurbish them.<\/p>\n

Corinthians utilizes the word “temple” to describe our bodies.\u00a0 I don’t mean to imply we should go organic everything.\u00a0 That would not be realistic, or sustainable.\u00a0 But, we do need to find ways to treat our bodies with respect and keep ourselves clean from the synthetics we are poisoning ourselves with. I can’t stop from wondering what part they have in the genetic mutation that has caused my disease.<\/p>\n

Christ is showing me my path.\u00a0 It is evolving one day at a time.\u00a0 I started to write this series as a penitent.\u00a0 My wife says that doing this is giving me growth and she would like me to continue this beyond Lent. I said I didn’t think I could.\u00a0 Writing these passages and applications are difficult.\u00a0 I am exposing what I have inside of me.\u00a0 I have been an internally spiritual person all my life, buried deep within me.\u00a0 Politics, sex and religion are the three things you don’t talk about.\u00a0 Now, I find the desire to write more and more in spiritual terms.\u00a0 Doing so makes my mind go at ease and gives me hope for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

In Christ,<\/p>\n
