    thank you again “Doc”…. the Lord has given you amaZING insight beyond the veil!
    i appreciate your ability thru the Holy Ghost/Spirit/Breathe of ALL Life for your imPARTation of “Lady Wisdom” allowing us to see/hEAR beyond the parting of the veil.

    i too believe the spirit is a “she” especial when back in Genesis in refers to “created in OUR image….both male and female”

    the “SHEkhinah glory” of the Lord i believe is the “feminine” of the Lord God MOST High!

    may SHE bless you with HER a-BUN-DANCE….as you continue to “DANCE” with the “WORD” and deliver many “BUNS” of “LIFE” to our hurting word and multiply it as the two fish and five loaves to feed HER SHEep! we as women NEED. WANT and DESIRE more MANNA from the bREAD of LIFE…we women are THIRSTY for MORE LIVING WATER…thank you “Lady Wisdom” for tending HER SHEep! I AM grateful for your SERVICE to humanity….WELL DONE GOOD and FAITHFILLED SERVANT of the MOST HIGH GOD OF ALL THINGS!

    I’m preaching on people at liminal spaces and times for the next month. Last week was Joseph in the pit without his coat. This week it’s Miriam when God calls her on the carpet. This sermon was a blessing for my heart and for my head as I am doing prep work. Thanks!
