Thank you for your time and interest in reading my blog.

I have known the Lord all my life. The things I have gone through recently are reminding me of what He has done previously. Why?

Amos 3:7 New King James Version

⁷ Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

I have grown and am confident I’m continuing to grow in my seer gift. As God has moved in my life my memories have been stirred. Perhaps it is because I died, (see Ezekiel 36:26) or perhaps it is because I lived may be a better way to look at it.

God has a been active in my life all my life. He has asked me questions, given me answers and challenged my comprehension of what reality really is. Following are a few examples.

When I was sixteen or, so I was into heroic doses of psychedelics. It was here I first became aware of the levels of the Heavens. When you do way too much of these substances you break down the walls of what we call reality. I was on a heroic dose of mushrooms; I was laying on a couch and was being pummeled by the dark side trying to make this trip be a “bad trip man.” As I lay there, I had the thought, “It’s my mind I can do what I want with it.” That thought has followed me ever since. When the darkness comes into to my mind, I say it. But I digress, as I’m having this trip, I realize I have to control my thoughts, and I am asked this question by a calming voice.

Who are you? This began a series of thoughts that all started with, “I am.” They raced by and arrived back where they started, “I am.” I saw Jesus nodding at me, and I was changed. His face was the face of kindness and all things good. I saw how He is connected to all that exists, golden threads reaching into eternity, infinity and me. For years I would not share these experiences, but now enough people have shown it does cause change and nearly always for the better. From then on I would tell people starting these voyager trips, “you have to push through the darkness, to the light. It’s your mind, you can do what you want with it.” I would go to the third heaven, I called it, “always always land.” Peace, love and grace were always there. I knew nothing of the levels of Heaven or Jesus then, but as I’ve shared, He knew me.

In my maritime career I have had so many experiences that can only be explained as God intervening. I am one of the only people I know that can say, “One of my best friends ever was a 16 ft tiger shark.” I was fishing in Hawaii at a bank that is about one hundred miles northwest of Kauai. There is no land visible, I used coordinates that I got from fishing with my dad and found a pinnacle that is noted for exceptional Onaga or long tailed red snapper. The problem was the incredible number of sharks that also lived there. I started fishing and was losing so many fish to sharks I was afraid I would not be able to fish there. I said, “God if the sharks would just leave us alone” to my crew man. About five minutes later the small sharks tearing up our gear just scatter. I look and one of the biggest sharks I have ever seen swims up to the boat. It goes under the boat and is just stemming the current sitting there. Finally, I think, “screw it I’m gonna drop a line and see what happens,” and the bite was on. I filled my small boat with 1600 pounds of fish in about eight hours. For the next two years I fished on that bank that was famous for thousands of sharks and being nearly unfishable. I would throw my anchor and a short time later my friend would show up. He ate one or two fish every day, and almost always without taking a hook from the line. He also kept all the other sharks away. By the way the name of the boat was, “St Peter.”

After this I got a maritime license. I went to work on tub boats. I was 23 and went to work for Hawaiian Tug and Barge. This was when I was dedicated to partying and could afford to do it well. I would take a week off for my birthday and really work hard at it. On my twenty fifth birthday I could not get off I was pissed and went up to do my watch at 2350, (1150 pm). As it turned from birthday eve to past midnight and my birthday I was told, “look.” and I did to the horizon. There was something I had never seen. We were at sea, no light pollution. This massive white moonbow appears out of…. Nowhere. I hear in my head God tell me, “Happy Birthday.”

That is a picture of a moonbow but what I saw was the Wizard of Oz version. Fast forward two years later and it happened again on my birthday. I have seen moonbows twice, and only on my birthday.

This made me have a heart for sojourning, travel to anywhere because it is there, which in turn led me to Alaska and an encounter with Heaven.

This is me crossing the Gulf of Alaska on my way to Kodiak Island.

The inside passage of the Pacific Northwest is 500 miles long and stretches from Puget sound Washington through Canada and ends at Glacier National Park in Alaska. Elfin cove is the last point of land you pass before you enter the gulf of Alaska and in January of 1990 I was on the Barbara Foss. 

I was on my way to Kodiak Alaska towing a 1×4 cargo barge (100’ x 400’) to offload freight before we headed to Dutch Harbor to fill up with freezer containers full of King Crab. We were about half way across the gulf on a moonless night. There was not even a breath of wind. The ocean was like a sheet of glass or better yet a mirror. 

It was -10 degrees outside this had a magnifying effect on the stars in the sky. I was standing at the bow just like the scene in Titanic just seven years sooner. This is a right of passage all sailors partake in. A joy that few have seen or experienced. To be flying across the water no lights. No distractions, one with nature, one with the universe. Porpoises were surfing our bow and the bio-luminescence was amazing. We were flying through space the stars reflection on the water gave the illusion we were floating in space. As I stood with my head over the bow basking in all the glory of the moment I felt like a comet or a ship flying through the infinite reaches of space. The porpoises my fellow travelers sharing a moment of beauty that few on the planet have an opportunity to experience and fewer still take the time to appreciate. 

In that moment it occurred to me that we all live our lives in quiet anticipation of coming greatness. We are all strings in the orchestra of eternity. We live our lives in a place between desperation and prayer, hoping that God will play our note and for but a second, we will resonate with creation, only to fade away as other notes are played. 

This gave me faith for the future and to understand the things He was showing me, not because He has to but because He wants to. He always reveals secrets to His prophets, and we are all prophets in some way.
