St. Joseph Bay Lighthouse, Florida. (Why? St. Joseph is the Saint of Families.)Got a phone call this afternoon from "the boy's" psychologist at the locked facility. "They" have decided that "the boy" isn't working hard enough with their program and outside visitors are being told they cannot continue to visit. Of course, she says "the boy" doesn't know yet. So I asked her if she was ready for the consequences. Caught the psychologist off guard. What did I mean? I told her that if she takes his visitors away from him and squelches his spirit, all he'll have left is soul and body. And soul is so easily squelched (when there's no spirit to lift it up) and "the boy" might be driven to suicide. The woman obviously had not even considered that potential outcome of "their" decision. She tried to make it a decision made by the "treatment team" along with the DYS worker. Uh, huh.
The psychologist is a humanist. She's a Jehovah's Witness humanist who has tried to make obtaining his Bible a "reward" for doing things their way rather than a right of religious freedom in the USA. The DYS worker is also Jehovah's Witness and when I mentioned the Bible situation, he said that there should be "separation of Church and State" and no religious materials should be allowed in the facility. Of course my blood pressure went sky high and I told him he didn't understand what separation of Church and State means and that if a Muslim wanted a Koran or a Mormon a Book of Mormon, he should have it. It's freedom to worship in the way you wish. They've done everything they can to undermine "the boy's" faith and deny him access to his Church and a Priest.
Needless to say, I was in awe of the goodness of God in keeping my mouth working and allowing me to take control of the conversation -- I left the woman with some information she didn't know. I told her the child was an anomaly and explained how. I'm sure she only has a smattering of information about the child. I am fairly sure she'll start asking more questions to fill in the blanks of what she knows after what I told her.
I told the psychologist I would pray that God would intervene and that everyone involved would do what God wants and not what man wants.
WHY do people with a degree in psychology seem to need more counseling than the general public? Oh, she said I couldn't save "the boy" -- I failed to respond with "no, only Jesus Christ has that authority."
I was both shaking and wanting to jump a pew after the conversation. The power of God was evident.
I'm half expecting a call from the Psychiatrist tomorrow.
If you're the praying kind, please pray that God intervene in such a way that no one can dispute that it's God at work.
+Pace e Bene+
Glory to God!
