Mary Kelly Joseph

August 4, 2014 · Ocala, FL ·

On August 3, 2005 I had a brain aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). I am Mary Emily Kelly Meiners Joseph.
My husband and I had gone to a restaurant in Mason Ohio. They have the best salad buffet table and they are about a mile away from an ambulance building. I am so grateful. No pain in the beginning or in the end. I passed-out. An ambulance picked me up and took me to Bethesda North Hospital.
I have no memory of that experience, didn’t want to know what happened in that 24 days. When I woke-up my vision was not good. I looked over at the window and I thought that this is a funky hotel. Then, I saw a family portrait. I was thinking that I must be about 12 years old. THEN, somebody gave me a mirror WOW what happened to 40 years. I could not stand-up, my right hand did not work, could not eat or drink until they gave a cracker test. But the worst was saying “yes” and “no” were difficult.
This is a statement that my sister, Ann added. * My sister suffered her aneurysm at age 50. Her mental age progressed at the rate of 7 years for one calendar year. That is, after one year she appeared to be age 7, after two years she appeared to be about age 14, etc. She must exercise daily to maintain the physical abilities she worked so hard to get back. Needless to say we are all amazed at her dogged determination to beat this health problem. * BY THE WAY, ANN, THIS YEAR I WILL BE 60 IN DECEMBER. I WANT TO STOP THE 7 YEAR ITCH . If it keeps going that time, you and I will be the same age. Gotta stop doing that.
That is the past. Now-a-days the issues are 99% positive. Am still going forward. Smile.
Thankful that anybody that helped me; like, the spiritual Lord, my doctors, my medical staff, my close friends, my brothers and sisters, my sons and my husband do a great job. My husband became my caregiver, chef, car driver, grocery buyer, teacher. . . thank goodness he is retired.
From then on, go forward. Smile! Just do it.
If there are only ten things that I have to tell you-- let’s do it right now.

1. Always be grateful, it can always worse
2. You are you, I am me
3. Go a another mile, physically and/or mentally
4. Make the best choose
5. Faith 
6. hope 
7. love
 
Now here’s four more things that I want to tell you about
8. Sad = negatives
9. Mad = negatives
10. Scared = negatives
11. Happy = positive
 
But the most important thing is a positive attitude. Smile again.
 
*Information written by my sister, Ann, is from the two stars.

Mary is truly one of the most remarkable people I have ever known. Her generosity and capacity to love are astonishing. Gratitude is the quality with which she defines herself.

WILD THING

GENE'S MEMORIAL

1 John 4
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

LARRY'S THEOLOGY

A free Blakean translation of John 3.16 with a touch of Philippians 2 added might read:

God so forgave the world that he annihilated his transcendent Deity and united himself through a corporeal sepulcher with sinful, materialistic man to lift us up to Eternity.

Here is the ultimate of spiritual authority, and those who meet Jesus begin to exercise it in the way that he did.

John 3
[15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
[22] After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

First John 4
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 

Mark 11

[24] Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
[25] And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
[26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
[27] And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
[28] And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
[29] And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
[30] The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
[31] And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
[32] But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
[33] And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

 

Philippians 2

[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
[2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
[3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
[6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
[12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
[13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

 

MAPS

Leonardo Da Vinci

"Acting as an artist-engineer, Leonardo had devised a new military weapon: accurate detailed, and easily read maps. Over the years , visually clear maps became a key component of warfare. For example, the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (originally known as the Defense Mapping Agency) had 14,500 employees and an annual budget of 5 billion dollars in 2017. Projected on the walls of the headquarters are maps combining accuracy and beauty, some of which bear a striking resemblance to Leonardo's map of Imola."
