My sister’s birthday for some it was the day they fell this is my vision of what they have been doing time
Setting before and in the presence of the almighty luxuriating in the love and peace that flows with such
Thickness it is equivalent to being in great depths as the sea can you feel yourself stretched to the limit
With the thrill of joy and love it continues from the poorest poverty now to the richest place no one has
Ever known and then the words are heard I go to prepare a place for you Jack and Terry look over their
Shoulder the two mansions they have been working on in fact Jack still has gold dust on his hands he
Just Finished laying gold leaf around the edges of lavish windows so when his family walks up to the
Mansion to visit the glorious light of the savior that will be the light of that city will catch the gold and
Gleam it will shimmer it will stir the heart that already is singing and is intoxicated a soul no longer at a
Loss it has wondered through long aching years now it has taken the final steps that has called without
Ceasing but fell on deaf ears as they sought material gain now they are at the center of all material but it
Is meaningless it is an afterthought now the heart surges with the everything and all that it ever every
Craved and desired there is not one empty place total fulfillment reached no dreams unrealized now all
There is to do is work on the details more work on the windows with love he etches the top and side of
The windows with gold stories unfold in briefest details one scene a small town a street that captures
Time and place a family and a store is showing richest wonder pulls from the edges it is the warmth that
Isn’t derived from fire but from hearts that are glowing and are bestowing the essence of human life
Mother father children the creator’s breath did blow with tenderest thought he gathered the very
Meaning of life into a ball and tossed it out it fell in the earth deep foundations were formed that were
Seeds that would produce countries and nations then the gold etching arched showed some members
Would lose their flesh coloring and pulse with whitest stature and rise to the heavens now thoughts can
Be held in your hand transposed on window glass stop time and flow with power over limitless space
Speak Welcome family to your future home it will erode formidable engagements and plans that
Seemed so Important they will be show to be frivolous nowhere is it ever been said build for a future
That will be Complete here it does say we will be kings and priests terry must believe it the mansion he
Was seen Working on named properly Ivy he isn’t over powered by his location but you walk into this
Huge area you are stunned into awe and reverence round like a temples dome but stain glass windows
Create a Soft darkness the crystal cathedral is taken a step further but here the color pieces that make
Such Wonderful pictures are actually fine gems at least in temperament terry leans toward being a
Priest Like the padre at the Jolon mission in California he had that quality that lifted himself above self
But you felt Christ shinning forth I felt the same other worldliness pouring out from a prisoner he wore
Prison garb but he was more free than all of them including the warden what dazzle in the extreme
Did occur when the glory light hit those colors vividness showed on the pastoral scenes and then the
Bible accounts of assured victories in impossible situations when God was fully trusted what a fortress
Of thought it creates it isn’t near completeness but Terry has found a passion that truly has no end
You can go from the sublime to the realness of life in truly the priest like life you build trust and knowing
In those that are not as strong and need reassurance they build on that which is without end where true
And all life finally begins
