	<itunes:summary>www.PurelyCatholic.com - We all need a consistent spiritual practice - some form of a prayer life. To help you with this, Jorge Lazaro Diaz, our PurelyCatholic.com commentator, reads the upcoming Sunday Mass scriptures and shares with you a short, down to Earth (no pun intended) reflection.  We hope to help you with your prayer life by sharing with you some tidbits to make them more real to you as a working (or non-working if you happen to be unemployed) professional, student or just someone wanting to grow your Catholic faith and prayer life.  Jorge says, &#34;The program is practical and NOT too intellectual or theological.  We hope it helps you address the issues you face as a husband, wife, parent or just plain, old, regular Catholic trying to do your best.&#34;   Let us know if you think I hit the mark.</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-18-2012</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">One night the LORD spoke to Paul in a vision, &#8216;Be fearless; speak out and do not keep silence.’ Acts 18:9</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">He had his hair cut off, because of a vow he had made. Acts 18:18c</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Your hearts will be full of Joy, and that Joy no one shall take from you. John 16:22d</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 18:9-18, Psalm 47 &amp; John 16:20-23</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How are you defining fearless when searching to live according to God’s Designed Will? Does the “<em>Fear of God</em>” grip your chest when God’s designed Will matches your every thought, every action and every deed? Are you willing to give everything you have for the Will of God to be adhered to in your life? Surrender is a hard thing. We always want something God doesn’t want for us. Taking these steps of God’s Plan for you takes gumption- an intentional “<em>vow</em>” to God’s occupation of your very soul. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul took it in Cenchreae when he cut his hair off. He had enough gumption to continue as God instructs him to “<em>be fearless; speak out and do not keep silence</em>” when sharing the Good News of God’s Designed Plan for humanity. I saw the fearless look of God’s love recently when a woman responded to me saying “<em>God Bless you</em>.” She stopped and her eyes got big fearlessly delving her hands towards me “<em>oh yes LORD, thank you for the blessing</em>.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It takes a lot of gumption to respond to someone’s blessing when reaching out to be thankful for prayerfully embracing God’s Joy in a stranger’s need in their affirmation of God’s Truth. She purposely stopped what she was doing and enjoined us for prayer holding hands with me and my wife. Her intentions were written down and will be placed in the prayer box of our home where many of your intentions lie now. I feel this fear of God wanting nothing more than to share His Joy with anyone, anytime and anywhere. Are you fearless for God’s Joy?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to be fearless seeking the Joy You share with our soul. We pray for my daughter to have a perfect wedding this weekend. We pray for all travelers and the needs of the people we meet. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">He made a vow to surrender to God’s Truth</span></strong>-<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Acts 18:9-18</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As Paul preached in Conrinth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The LORD envisioned a trip</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Speak out my Truth be silent no more</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I am with you as you preach to every door</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Harm will not come as I protect your very tongue</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Many of the city are my servants who will hurriedly come</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Protecting your speaking of Me to those who shun</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Word of God you teach in faith they are stunned</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Jews rose up tired of his lip</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul was brought to defend his quip</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Gallio ruled no reason to hear titles and rules</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He chose not to judge such matters of the Jews</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They beat one poor guy half to death</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A Synagogue official they quickly fetched</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In full view of the Tribunal affair</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Gallio showed he truly didn’t care</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul remained but one day had to go</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Saying farewell he sailed to Syria’s show</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He made a vow to surrender to God’s Eternal Truth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Cutting his hair living a commitment of living proof</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-17-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">May the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, give you a Spirit of Wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge of Him. Ephesians 1:17</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:17-23, &amp; Mark 16:15-20</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The beauty of rain pounding the rooftop soaking the surroundings awakens me this morning in South Florida reminding me of the verse in Ephesians 1:19-20a I first turned to of  “<em>how extraordinarily great is the Power that He has exercised for us believers; this accords with the strength of His Power at work in Christ</em>.” My mind tingles with this perception He has granted me by my faith, hope and love. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do you feel this discernment when you read the Bible, pray aloud or preach His Truth? I for one seek this insight by the promise afforded to me in His Word to accomplish full-knowledge of living a life of seeking His Will. I have learned to embrace the Three P’s of life by acting on His Truth constantly whereby I intentionally touch and read the Bible often during the day. Practice while you preach should be a motto to live for when you practice the preaching magnifies His Salvation’s call. Amen. Practice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Prayer must be the constant ring of your tongue when living a life for Him. P number two means to pray, “<em>without ceasing</em>.” Life without prayer is like life without knowledge. You’ll become broken down in thoughts seeing selfish pride as the goal. Prayer will lead you to the “<em>full knowledge of Him</em>” to accomplish your heart’s desire. Talk to God in all fashions of the Spirit: Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Place in your heart your picture perfect setting of each of them wrapping Their mantle of love around your being. “<em>Rest</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Promoting the Kingdom of God seems difficult for many. I try and wear something that reflects a comment to begin a uniting Christian relationship with people. A Holy Spirit pin on my shoulder. An Emmaus shirt. A silver Cross showing Christ Crucified with the two thieves. Something to spark the one word that’ll take you to places of grace riding the high gaining “<em>full knowledge of Him</em>.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It’s a ride I have yet to not want over and over again. It’s exciting amongst a peace of heart God intended for the world. In brevity I hope to spark the interest of a life in the Three P’s to help us all to believe that Jesus Christ is “<em>far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come</em>.” Ephesians 1:21 Now it’s time to reflect in prayer. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to gain full understanding of Your Will LORD by our practice, prayer and preaching. We pray for the travelers of the world and the people they can affect by their sharing of Christ’s Truth. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Body is the Church we Succumb- Ephesians 1:17-23</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I pray God gives you knowledge</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I pray God gives you peace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I pray God gives you wisdom</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I pray His death gives you sin release</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Hearts with dazzling eyes will be enlightened</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Riches and glory inherited from the Holy Ones</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His call will grant you hope to know Him</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Knowing Him Surpassing Greatness to win</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Given to us who believe by His exercised great might</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Christ taught us to love for God Himself controls the fight</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Seating at His Right hand in the glowing heaven lights</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Far above every principality or name by restoring humanity’s sight</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In this age and any ages to come</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His Feet rest’s on the world’s dominion</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Body is the Church we succumb</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A fullness of forgiveness from God’s Only Son</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-16-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Nor is He in need of anything, that He should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is He Who gives everything &#8212; including life and breath &#8212; to everyone. Acts 17:25</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">He will glorify Me, since all He reveals to you will be taken from what is Mine. John 16:14</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 17:15, 22&#8211;18:1, Psalm 148 &amp; John 16:12-15</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As Paul walked around Athens, he discovers an altar with an inscription reading “<em>to an unknown God</em>.” Paul references this to the people when he discusses with them how they are to know God Who needs nothing from us for He IS everything around them providing for their needs including their own breath. “<em>The God who made the world and all that is in it, the LORD of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands because He needs anything. Rather it is He Who gives to everyone life and breath and everything</em>.” Acts 17:24-25</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I think we seem to forget sometimes that we are not in control of the world around us and it is by His Hand that even the wind blows against your face. Jesus continues to remind us in John 16 that His Father’s Way is the Way of the Wind through the Holy Spirit Who represents everything God and Christ are when it comes to being One in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will reveal the true nature of Christ by your practice, prayer and preaching. Everyday when you begin your Bible study allow the Spirit of Christ to come inside your heart where by the Spirit He will reveal to you the secrets of living a life in Christ.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t call out to the Holy Spirit in prayer to awaken my soul with the Breath of Life. I recite a Holy Spirit prayer that has evolved in the antiphons and hymns of every liturgical tradition, especially the Pentecost sequence. It goes like this, “<em>Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O, God, who by the Light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolations, through Christ Our LORD, Amen</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Father in Heaven, we pray to lift our voices to the Holy Spirit in prayer to live in faith, charity and love. We pray for the sick, the lonely and the homeless of the world. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trust the Holy Spirit to eliminate your fears- John 16:12-15</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As Jesus spoke to His disciples</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He applied His grace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is much more to tell</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Spirit will eternally trace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What you can’t bear now from Me</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Will come as the wind in your face</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not knowing falsehoods to see</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But guiding the Spirit of Truth to relate</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He does not speak on His own</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He only speaks what He hears</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">From the Father as He glorifies Me</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Declared to you as righteous tears</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-15-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Become a believer in the LORD Jesus, and you will be saved, and your household too. Then they preached the Word of the LORD to him and to all his household. Acts 16:31-32</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">When He comes, He will show the world how wrong it was, about sin, and about Who was in the right, and about judgment: about sin: in that they refuse to believe in Me; about Who was in the right: in that I am going to the Father and you will see Me no more; about judgment: in that the Prince of this world is already condemned. John 16:8-11</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 16:22-34, Psalm 138 &amp; John 16:5-11</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Many of you can remember the date and time when you first received the LORD into your life. Maybe it was at a retreat or maybe it was the moment you decided to read your Bible one afternoon and the Word of God just seemed to make sense to you- as if God were speaking to you face-to-face. How many of you can stop and identify with complete certainty the moment you first felt the Holy Spirit guide you to accomplish God’s Will in your life? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Maybe you heard God speaking to you as if you were a little child who was eager to soak up anything God had to tell you. Once you’ve felt His Presence, you’ll do anything in your power to feel His Spirit again and again and again. Just as Paul told the prison guard, “<em>Become a believer in the LORD Jesus, and you will be saved</em>” and the Holy Spirit will come upon you in your belief to lead you to live God’s Will. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Yes, there must be deliberate action from you to practice, pray and preach. His Spirit will come upon you like a wave along the ocean’s shore and lift you to a height that you can see His Truth instilling in you the same rush as if you were riding the face of that wave like a pro surfer in California Surf Contest. Once you come down you’ll search for God’s Perfect Wave of Spirit every single day of your life. He will come upon you in a moments notice nurturing your love of Christ to become One in His Truth. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Once you lose your fright of being a Jesus Freak, the Holy Spirit will embrace numerous times in a day. Many of these times you’ll be by yourself praying alone and His Truth will illuminate anything that is covered in darkness. The Light of Christ hovers over you like a Beacon to gather the lost, lonely and afraid and it will be up to you to allow the Holy Spirit to bring the Good News of Christ’s Salvation with anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to always be a believer who seeks the counsel of the Holy Spirit to accomplish Your Will LORD. We pray in silence of our own hearts… the greatest intention of our hearts desire. We pray for the Spiritual Counselship I give to anyone I study Your Truth with. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Father’s Spirit you will now have to contend- John 16:5-11</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Jesus had to return to God</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His Father Who gave Him the nod</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">To be the Savior of the world</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Erasing sin we all unfurled</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The grief you feel will subside</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For when I go the Advocate will reside</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By your heart in every destination</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Creating Truth to eliminate sin’s consultation</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">When the Holy Spirit comes he will judge</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The good from the bad who fudged</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Ruler of the world was condemned</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Father’s Spirit you will now have to contend</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-14-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. Acts 1:13-14</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 1:13-26, Psalm 113 &amp; John 15:9-17</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The first real Christian Community of Jerusalem returns from the Mount of Olivet after watching Jesus Ascend to Heaven huddling together in the Upper Room where they had been staying. They are frightened and concerned for their lives but insistent on replacing Judas who had betrayed Jesus to complete the original 12 Apostles of Christ. Many Biblical Scholars equate this to the 12 Tribes of Israel but nonetheless they choose a successor to Judas by casting lots, which was some sort of voting process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed, “You, LORD, Who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.” Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles</em>.” Acts 1:23-26</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What is very significant here is the fact they point out the Apostles devoted their life with One Accord to prayer inviting not only the mother of Jesus but also other women as well to “<em>be My (</em>Jesus<em>) witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth</em>.” Of course this One Accord is the Truth Jesus shared with them in His Good News to become one day the New Testament that we relish as our guide to life today. The devotion to prayer is essential to anyone’s ministry in Christ. It is not a morning, noon or night timeframe but a nonstop sequence of thoughts directed to the Father to see His Glory being fulfilled.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Very early on in the Christian Church many realized the Name of Jesus invoked a Power by which they would be energized. Paul had pointed out in Philippians 2:10 that the very “<em>Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord</em>.&#8221; Many have used the Jesus prayer for hundreds of years. A simple prayer invoking the Name of Jesus to guide their daily thoughts and actions. It goes like this, “O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul describes in One Thessalonians 5:16-20 a practice we should all invoke everyday of our lives and that’s to pray unceasingly rejoicing always never despising prophetic utterances. In other words, rejoice in praying unceasingly for this is the Will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the Will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD above, we pray to devote ourselves to a life of unceasing prayer to accomplish Your Will LORD in Christ Jesus. We pray in silence of our own hearts… the greatest intention of our hearts desire. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">As an Apostle he did dote- Acts 1:13-26</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Upper Room was full</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The delight of Christ in their eyes</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His Holiness had Risen</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">To the Father in Heaven waving goodbye</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He commanded them all</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">To take His Truth to every creature</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not withstanding the fall</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Of praying to men as a great preacher</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But first they felt</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They must replace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Judas the snitch</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As Scripture did relate</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They proposed two</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Joseph called Barsabbas</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Matthias was the other</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Praying to pick the recover</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They gave them lots</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Casting the own vote</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Matthias won his share</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As an Apostle he did dote</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-13-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Could anyone refuse the water of baptism to these people, now they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? Acts 10:47</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent His Son to expiate our sins. First John 4:10</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 10:25-48, Psalm 98, First John 4:7-10 &amp; John 15:9-17</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We learn today in Acts the Truth of living, teaching and giving of Christ’s Salvation is not up to mortal man to give but freely given to <em>ALL</em> humanity as Divinely Designed by God Himself. There is nobody in this all-inclusive life that can bar anyone from receiving the cleansing of the Baptismal waters commanded by Christ as the process of eliminating the sin that fouls up the world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What a beautiful understanding Peter exclaimed to the small group of men in the house of Cornelius in Acts 10:34-35; “<em>In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears Him and acts uprightly is acceptable to Him</em>.” Many may say, “<em>Why should man fear God</em>?” Without fear of God’s Omnipotence as the Universe’s Creator then you are not giving God the reverence, respect and regard that He is the Judge of all seen and unseen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How wonderful it is to obey the fright as obedience to love in Christ. Give everything you do in thought, word and deed to feel a complete spiritual communion with the submission you comply with across every plane the universe provides. Peer into life as kids in a playground avoiding the pang of guilt in attempting to figure life out on your own. To obey is to see life more clearly eliminating the guilty conscience of Satan’s despair. Imagine you are to love as a child would in every amazing encounter with another child: approachable amicable adoration. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Be constantly aware of His presence in every corner of your life. When you can see past each corner into an ocean of wonderful simplistic love, then you have intertwined the obedience to faith, charity and love provoking the obedience to sharing Christ’s Salvation. You begin to as Christ describes to lay your life down for your friends wanting to share and experience the Redemption of Christ. To give your life for others is God’s greatest commandment to live invoking His Spirit each step of the Way. For “<em>no one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends</em>” Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Heavenly Father, we pray to share the Baptismal fonts of Christ’s Redemption to anyone, anytime and anywhere. I pray for peace in the hearts of those who mean the most to me. We pray in silence of our own hearts… the greatest intention of our hearts desire. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">All in the Name of Jesus Christ the Mold- Acts 10:25-48</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peter was summoned</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By a man named Cornelius</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His vision to bring Peter</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Should get the best of us</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Falling at his feet</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peter said stand up and be heard</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I too am a human being</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acceptable as a squawking bird</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For God shows no partiality</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Anyone can find His grace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Seek not what is of earth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Seek only Heaven’s space</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Every nation can find His reward</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acting upright shows fear of Him</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He will accept you for trying</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By giving up a despicable life of sin</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peter spoke with such thunder</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Holy Spirit entered them all</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peter spoke the Word of the LORD</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Astounded Gentiles also received the call</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Speaking in tongues and glorifying God</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Circumcised believers knew no one could withhold</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Baptismal waters of sinful cleansing</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">All in the Name of Jesus Christ the Mold</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Convinced that God had called us to bring them the Good News. Acts 16:10b</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">If the world hates you, you must realize that it hated Me before it hated you. John 15:18</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 16:1-10, Psalm 100 &amp; John 15:18-21</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Today we celebrate a milestone in our family as my oldest child and only girl graduates from Medical School. This amazing young lady has pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a doctor as far back as I can remember. I’ll never forget taking a 21 hour drive to Boston to move her back to Florida her first year in college. I’ll never forget the time she threw up in my face as I played with her as a baby holding her in my arms high above my head. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">One day I pray we sit and talk about her journey to become reacquainted after she gets married and begins her training to become a pediatrician. One week from tomorrow my little girl gets married and all of her dreams will have come true. I am so proud of her for she has never let any obstacles remain in her way to accomplish her goals. Today we raise our prayers for you Alexandra Maria Wiggins. God Bless you and your journey into pediatric medicine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I’ll keep on studying the Good News to accomplish the Will of God in my life. I will always place God first for I know everything else will fall into place by His Will to live for His Glory. Today I hold on to the Good News of Christ Jesus no matter what hate or discontent I may find in the world. I seek only to live for His Truth and I will accomplish everything I do in His Name. I will practice, pray and preach to live in His Truth as a man of God who wants nothing more than to see God’s Will to reign. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to always share the Good News with anyone in need. I pray for my children Alexandra, Allen, Jeff, Julian, and Gabriel. I pray for peace in the hearts of those who mean the most to me. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-11-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Who have committed their lives to the Name of our LORD Jesus Christ. Acts 15:26</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">This is My Commandment: love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:12</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 15:22-31, Psalm 57 &amp; John 15:12-17</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">My beautiful wife Toni once gave me a sticky note I placed above my head where I write that reads “<em>It is better to have the whole world against me than to deny God.” </em>Jesus reminds us many times in the New Testament that our love of His Truth and surrender to His Way of living will pit father against son and mother against daughter (see Luke 12:53 and Matthew 10:35). People who have committed their lives to the Name of our LORD Jesus Christ are experiencing all sorts of secular disagreements about how and why we are supposed to live our lives. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We have affirmed our commitment in Christ by our daily walk of faith, hope and love. We live in faith God above has washed away our sins by the Blood of His Son Jesus when they nailed Him to the Cross of Salvation. We provide hope for the confused at heart, the lonely and sick and the homeless and hungry people of the world. We live to provide Christ’s love of any of these but we will not compromise our God given ideals that commits us to His Truth. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The secular world of perversion, lust and greed wants us to accept the liberal idea of agreeing with homosexual marriage stating in some cases Jesus wants us to love each other as He has loved us. Therefore, I shall, I will love all humanity as Christ has loved us and I will continue to pray for the sinners of the world to find true conversion. I will not agree with the secular world of perversion. I will pray for their healing because I have committed my life to the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>If it is displeasing to you to serve the LORD, choose today whom you will serve. As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD</em>.” Joshua 24:15a/c “<em>You may not be able to serve the LORD, for He is a Holy God; He is a passionate God Who will not forgive your transgressions or your sins. If you forsake the LORD and serve strange gods, He will then do evil to you and destroy you, after having done you good</em>.” Joshua 24:19-20</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to always be committed to Your Son’s Truth. I pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Jesus spoke to His Disciples</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Commandment of all</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Love one another in peace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As I loved you before I fall</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is no greater love</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Than to lay your life for another</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You may argue with a friend</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As you save the life of a brother</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do not be a slave to others</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">From now on you are all my friends</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You have heard all from Me by the Father</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I have chosen you to share my Truth with each other</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-10-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">God, Who can read everyone&#8217;s heart, showed His approval of them by giving the Holy Spirit to them just as He had to us. God made no distinction between them and us, since He purified their hearts by faith. Acts 15:8-9</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><em>I have told you this so that My own joy may be in you and your joy be complete. John 15:11</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 15:7-21, Psalm 96 &amp; John 15:9-11</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Council of Jerusalem brought about a great testimony by Paul and Barnabas to establish amongst the Jews an understanding that God “<em>made no distinction between us and them, for by faith He purified their hearts” </em>for<em> “we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they.</em>” The Disciples had proved their cause and decided not to force the Gentiles to observe Mosaic Law of circumcision establishing instead a group of representatives to take a written confirmation back to the Gentiles in Antioch. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><em>“It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right</em>.” Acts 15:28-29</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Today, we find ourselves bickering about God’s Divine Plan for humanity from one nation to the next trying to force the thoughts and ideals of other beliefs down the throats of people who believe in one religion or another. I find comfort in knowing our God through His Word teaches us to not judge the ideals of people who live their lives in complete denial of Christ’s Truth and I implore you all to heed Matthew 7:1 while continuing to pray for the lost and confused of the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you</em>.” Matthew 7:1-2</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear God, we pray to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in our thoughts, actions and deeds. I pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Proclaim His Salvation day after day</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Among the nations proclaim His Way</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He is great and mighty indeed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">No other God gave His Son to bleed</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not an idol being worshipped of a nation in need</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The LORD of the heavens who will never concede</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">All splendor and Power are His Holy Place</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The LORD of glory and might not showing His face</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Bow down in reverence before His Mighty grace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He rules with fairness in love you cannot replace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">All the lands should rejoice in fullness of Truth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The LORD of all will correct your abuse</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He will govern the earth with justice and truce</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His faithfulness will endure forever like His Son in Youth</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 5-9-2012</strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">You are clean already, by means of the Word that I have spoken to you. John 15:3</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Acts 15:1-6, Psalm 122 &amp; John 15:1-8</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is only one Way to remain clean and that’s by living in a complete surrender to Christ’s Eternal Redemption Words abiding by His Truth in thoughts, action and deed. Jesus describes the cleanliness they have already received by remaining in Him as He is the True Vine that offers life everlasting. “<em>Remain in me, as I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, unless it remains part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the Vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me, with Me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from Me you can do nothing</em>.” John 15:4-5</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">While my arm continues to ache in a healing process, I am reminded how beautiful the silence is by writing in thoughts instead of writing aloud through a program that types for you. I mentioned yesterday to a Brother in Christ how I like the quietness of writing without spoken words. There seems to be a connection there in the Spirit. The lived Will of God takes us through pain and gain. Where there is pain, there is gain too in the midst of muscular, ego and life pain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It’s easier said than done to follow Proverbs 3:6, “<em>In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths</em>.” In this, we become scared of an outcome instead of living in His income. Here we find an income where money has no worth and the value cannot be measured. We move forward in faith, seeking not our own pleasures but that of God’s Will ensuring a child a smile in times of excess and sin. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Dear LORD, we pray to acknowledge our cleanliness in all our ways of living for Your glory LORD. I pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Goodness of God’s love to adore- Psalm 122</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In Psalm we praise you LORD</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We rejoice knowing Your Accord</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Off to the House of Truth</span></p>
