PREFACE

My song ‘Moments in Time’ penned on the death of Grant W McLennan (beloved member of Brisbane band, The Go-Betweens) was the piece of the puzzle that had me finally see the bigger picture of the truth of this world, and what true and Sovereign God I was claiming to hold fast too, the faith I based all my trust and life on.

The people (especially the children) were suffering.

It was time to share my journey of the seen and unseen realms, those who walk amongst us and those who walk with me. The music in my life and heart that helped me acknowledge that I do not walk this journey alone. The death of a teenage friend that spurred me on to complete my initial selection of essays collated under the book title ‘How the Catholic Church gets it Wrong’ as listed in ‘Part C’ of this edition. The initial booklet was forwarded to The Vatican and Queen Elizabeth II twelve months before the historical first resignation of a pope in ~ 600 years. Writings that made note of the discrepancies of the church’s teachings and the truths of God’s holy breathed inspired word transcribed as the ‘Holy Bible’.

From my initial writings, I felt it was a necessity to share how I came to write these essays on charging the church with their inadequate teachings and deceptions. These writings of my personal journey and moments of acknowledging the unseen realms that move amongst us and the one true God, who continually was pulling me from the fire, upholding me and those I love, including the history maker musicians who often had some truth to share whose lyrics I was hearing that were having some providence in my life. Like the evening one New Years Eve after a night out, that I found myself on my knees in sorrow to God as Steve Kilbey of The Church Band, voice iterated truths as he sang their song ‘Unguarded Moment’ as it came on in the background in the other room. All was coming together as I sought for ‘God to finish what He had started’ or the hope for a better ‘change in the world’.

Time will tell what plays out first. God is real.

This was the book I didn’t want to write for my moments belong to me and God.

One said to me recently, “Lee-Ann how do I get into your life?” I replied, “You are in my life, we work together.” I believe what this one may have been implying is how do I get to move in the Kingdom of Heaven, that which is amongst us? The answer: Seek Jesus and find His kingdom and the many united in one voice, one heart, and one mind.

(NB: I published ‘Called to Stand’ regardless of the onslaught of trials to prevent publication and despite my book product not being of the standard of quality work output that I produce.

The ‘powers that be’ interference and onslaughts with my computer manuscript was agonizingly intense and became one too many hits. The continual and repetitive dropping out of moments in life, typed and typed some more when the essay kept disappearing, repetitive correction of a spellcheck word throughout the document, that kept mysteriously reverting back to the incorrect spelling. The final straw to publish as is and not return to attempt to re-correct all that I have already actioned at least three times, was the bullying essay that at the last minute I decided to expand after reading another media article on the teenager Dolly Everett.

I believe these bullying and violence incidents will not stop until the community has full understanding of the true circumstances at hand. I spent a week adding minute details and explanations on the truth of bullying in the community and the true effects of spiritual practices is increasing the assaults against the children and increasing the rise in domestic violence.

The powers that be hacked my work, my essay no longer made sense and this damage was the final straw of the continual harassment of unseen computer tampering and more.

My message was still clear despite typos, one essay reading like gobbly gook and my time repeated being stolen. I figured they would never stop tampering and therefore my book would never be perfect and ready for publication and I was at the point of exhaustion. I decided to published anyway as is.

I typed up the preface ready to go, I knew I had to add a time frame to the historical resignation of the pope, yet I didn’t care what did it matter, look what they were doing. God shared, “fix it”, numerous times. I reasoned once again “what does it matter, look how far they go to prevent and delay publication.”

Twelve months after publication I now could see that the God who knows me knew I would be happier and more content with my striving if I obeyed and took the time to add those three little words to aid in cementing the truths of what I shared in my book.

I’m still learning to obey God’s direction and to remove my reasoning in situation’s that completely gets in the way.

Now I know why typewriters are a preferred medium.)
