In today’s Eagle People reading, Yahweh tells us about a man who had two sons. One stayed home and was obedient and faithful to his father while the youngest took his share of his father’s estate and went off and squandered it. But, one day, he came to his senses. Have you experienced a day like that in your life? Where you came to your senses? Where you realized that you were wallowing with the pigs?

I know this life. I once walked the way of deep sorrow. Then I came to my senses and began calling out to Yahweh. Day after day, I called out to Yahweh and never gave up. I walked the land and holy ground below the Sacred Mountain and called his name. I cried. I pleaded. And finally, he heard my cry and I began to crawl down the way of faithfulness, a broken, battered Vietnam vet, but moving forward in the love of Yahweh.

Walk on, dear child, crawl on! Slowly though it may be. Yahweh does not stay up on the Sacred Mountain. He is very near. He hears your cry for mercy.

Eagle People…Today’s reading is Luke 15:11-32. Pleya gi “Go with Blessings.”
