23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

Good evening beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, in the five years since my LORD-GOD has blessed me with the ministry of posting one chapter a day, never have my LORD-GOD allowed me to miss a day of posting until, September 29, 2022, and September 30, 2022.
However, it was because I made a conscious decision to drive to the city where my two daughters live, whom I had great difficulty contacting because of this horrible hurricane Ian; therefore, after checking on my Queen/Wife, after I dropped her off at work, yesterday, I made the decision to drive to check on our daughters. Amen.
The decision I made was because my wife had limited internet at the hospital where my LORD has given her favor to work, and I could have taken the time to post what my LORD-GOD had for me and for you who read these letters. However, I could not minister to you, while not knowing for a fact how my daughters were doing, having only phone connection, limited, broken phone connection with our daughters, who were in their closet, with my grandson, dealing with one of the most powerful storms, reportedly to ever hit Florida, this being the first hurricane they had ever encountered, as they were in Akron, when Irma hit.
Therefore, I made the conscious decision to minister my love to my daughters and my grandson first, then to you. However, we had lost internet completely and working to clean our home, after ministering to my babies, I did not have time to go to my Queen’s job to post, when I could not sit and clearly hear my LORD-GOD, as I was spending my every moment praising my LORD for keeping His mighty awesome hand on my babies. Amen.
As I drove from my Queen’s job to the city where my children were, I began to realize the magnitude of this storm, for I had never seen anything like I was seeing. It had such a traumatic effect on me that I began to choke up and I tried, unsuccessfully, to call my Queen then my children, but without any phone service, I had to deal with the devastation this storm had left on Florida, as I realized, much more, the blessing I was experiencing because I knew my LORD-GOD had protected my children, I just had not laid my eyes on them, I had not held them to tell them how blessed I am that my GOD protected them, and us. Amen.
Therefore, after my LORD-GOD blessed me to spend the day with my babies, he blessed me today with my Brother-in-law’s help, clearing out some of the trees and foliage along with taking down the hurricane shutters and refilling our new generator our LORD blessed us with two years ago through Costco. This generator is fantastic and powerful and was definitely worth the money. It’s a tri-fuel generator and it is truly fantastic. Amen.
Therefore, I will pick up where we left off Wednesday and repost that post, and hopefully, tomorrow post the next, praising our LORD-GOD for His awesomeness. Amen.
Beloved, I missed talking to you however, I truly enjoyed being a daddy and a loving, protecting, father; for I protected my babies on my knees, thanking my Father-GOD for His promise of having plans for me, for not harming me, and for giving me a hope and a future; which includes Him, my Queen/Wife, and my babies. Amen. Amen. Amen.

“24:1 The Lord moved David against Israel. For reasons not given, God was angry with the people of Israel. The chronicler records that Satan incited David to number the people (1 Chr. 21:1). Here it is said that God was the instigator. No contradiction exists. As in all situations, God is in control, and there is a difference between what God causes and what He allows. He did not prevent David from carrying out the evil action that Satan had suggested. In this whole chapter, the taking of a census seems wrong. Numbering the people also led to a plague (Ex. 30:12). Other men of the ancient world held similar views. Joab and the captains of the army recognized the dangers in such an undertaking (2 Sam. 24:4). The census may have been connected with David’s plans for building the temple, his main project at the end of his life. David may have wished to reorganize the systems of taxation, military service, and forced labor throughout the kingdom. However, numbering the people showed a proud spirit, a desire to measure his own greatness. It also indicated an attitude of self-sufficiency. David was putting his trust in human means, and forgetting that victories and achievements come from the Lord.” (The Woman’s Study Bible—NEW KING JAMES VERSION—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)
Have a blessed Friday beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen. Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy M. and Linda Shephard and Danasha Shephard and Sara Smith, and Timeia Shephard. Amen. Amen. Amen.
