On this day in 1888, Vincent van Gough cut off his left ear. In keeping with that spirit, what's the craziest thing you've ever done?
It is a sin to cut off one's body parts. Why? Because one's body belongs to Christ. Yet Christ said, "it would be better for YOU to cut off your arm or leg and pull out your eye than to go to Gehenna". Jesus emphasized YOU not a judge nor a jury. One would not pull out one's own eye. One would think about it. The eye belonged to Jesus. He purchased it with his life. One would meditate as to how one would improve one's thinking to bring that thinking into line with the thinking of Jesus. If one had a greedy eye one would need to work on that fault. There was nothing wrong with the human eye. Jesus was speaking thus of the spiritual eye but one thing was for sure if one did not correct oneself one would lose all right to life FOREVER in the Lake of Fire.
The arrival of Jesus placed mercy into the law and when the Mosaic law required the removal of a hand because one had become a habitual offender over a long period of time now MERCY stood in place and said, "this means everlasting life their taking in knowledge of You, the only true God, and of the one whom You sent forth Jesus Christ" (John 17:3)
The craziest thing I have ever done is this...I left home to preach the good news in Montreal, Quebec. This is the craziest thing I have ever done...I left home 1950-1953 to attend religious conventions to learn about Christ Jesus and how to preach that good news.

What would I change my name to?
That is a tough question...what would I change my name to and why? I like my name. Iris is so fluctual. Iris means the eye, whether that of man or a God, Iris means rainbow made up of many colours. Why would I want one colour in my world, thus, Leann Rimes sings, "I colour my man" in reference to Bobby Darin who had Jewish American Indian aboriginal dna. Iris goes with "rainbow warriors" from Cherokee Amazing Grace because after Armagedon there will not be just one colour race...there will be survivors made up of many colours.
Dances with Wolves suits me because I play with sheep in wolf clothing.
"Dances with Wolve is approaching the Third Heaven sir, you still have time to leave."
It is said that Jesus will give a pebble to the 144,000 and on it will be a new name ( Revelation 2:17.
"Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirt says to the congregations. To him that conquers I will give some of the hidden manna and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name written which no one knows except the one receiving it
Manna is life sustaining when there is no other food. Feeding on Heavenly manna would give life to the receiver during the forty year trek. The white pebble? In ancient Israel a pebble or stone was used in law to cast life or death or approval or disapproval. The prophecy says a name is written so if the name was Iris and Iris was to cast the pebble would there be a downside. One side is yes and one side is no. Or is it this pebble belongs to Iris, the messenger of the Gods who is exempt from punishment as she has impunity eternally?
What would Jesus see in me right now that he would personally select as my eternal name mapped out by my life course?
"Aimlessly running around as a camel."
"Dances with Wolves"
"Dinah....the inexperience dove."
"Abishag...beaten and running"
"Jehovah is her arm and Salvation."
"Daughter of the Romans"
"Daughter of Egypt"
"Daughter of Israel"
"Daughter of the UK"
"She who leaves it all behind for something greater"
"She who places her throne before Christ Jesus"
"She who is well known and earthly"
"She who loves mankind"
"She who sacrificed herself for others"
"She who has given food to the world"
"She who is disinherited by the world"
"Endurance"?
"Patience"?
"Faithful"? to the end
Jesus KNOWS her personality. What would he place on a pebble if I endured to the end? What name did I make for myself?
"She who stood alone"
"The quiet one"
I like "the quiet one" . The one who reserves judgment until there is no other course but to speak up. Does it work with "couageous"?
If the public was to pick the well carved image would it be Dances With Wolves?
That might not be the last name. Can I make a better name? I read on a site once while surfing that an aboriginal did not know his name. He couldn't decide and it frustrated him and left him in a depressed state. And, I wrote back that his name was "indecisive". He may not have liked the name but that was his name as of that date.
Right now ...my name is "tired one". I have no energy for anything. I have no feelings for anything.
What if we projected things into the future? Dances with Wolves is Dancing with a new crowd of angels? She died and escaped to the Third Heaven where she may be selected as a future judge over the earth? What can we expect from her?
"She who is kind? merciful? wise? judicial righteous?"
She is called upon to determine if Al Pacino should be resurrected. What is she to say? Al Pacino said he would have to kill her if she said his name outloud. Would she render a righteous verdict or bow out?
Would she be, "I call it as I see it".
Yet, it is really hard to send Al completely to non existence. Why is that? Because he bragged to all his friends that he stoled all of Estelle Parsons earnings under a phoney marriage licence. And what did he do with those earnings that he knew about? "I gave it all away...to charities."
Al Pacino may be the only outlaw that actually helped the down trodden and ill. So what do we do to him?
And he did it to such a magnificent level!!!
Live or Die which way will the pebble be thrown?
"the erroneous one"??? Yet, Jesus washes a person until the erroneous becomes perfect.
"Hard as nails"? "Sharon Stone hard"?
"The Stone has decided to join us after all I see"
"Unmovable, unflinching"?
"The unbending"...how is that written in Hebrew. She who sees the difference between rape and prostitution and will not yield to scam artists nor rapists. Is it a well deserved title? I think so.
Is The Wall similiar to The Fist?
"I cannot let you pass by me (Mr.Rapists? Mr. Greed?), "I was taught to protect at all costs (whether they deserve it or not)?
"She who yields to the decisions of The Creator"
Protect at all costs becomes iffy when the LORD decrees otherwise.
"Protecter of sheep"?
"Carrier of a secret" That fits just as well as Dances with Wolves so we have two names that come to the fore with "unflinching".
She must get rid of the secrets and lies and what is left?
All the masks are off and what is left?
"Unbendable" bending slightly to the left and right.
"She who sits on a fence" neither with the left nor the right. Will she lose the name of Iris...messenger of both sides?
"She who feeds only at the table of Jehovah"
"Abishag...the song of a FATHER?"
Too negative. Abishag was beaten, left naked, devastated, and sent running into the wilderness after the loss of her first husband.
"Survivor"
What would Jesus pick as the name of all names for both sides of the pebble?
