Photo by aslam mac on Unsplash Dream 02/20/21 I glanced at a book in a dream, the dream I have forgotten but the book I have not. The book was a guide for couples, and it got me thinking, "Why not contemplate the topic of love?" For the sake of keeping this pg, I am not gonna state the title of this book here, nor its content; however, in place of the name, I shall use a word that describes the color of the book: that color being Magenta. Jesus says that the entire law of Moses could be fulfilled in two commands. Those commands being, "Love others, and Love God." In the context of community, we both love others and are loved by others. I would like to expound upon this statement by imagining two postures: a receptive posture and a posture of distribution. In other words, we give love, and at other times we receive love.  Love is communicated from one person to another in many ways.

  Dream: 02/10/2021 In this dream, I had an apartment with my brother. A narrator's voice asked me a question of purpose, the exact question I have forgotten.

Glossolalia and Xenoglossia : A bit of a word study before we start. Xenoglossia is the phenomenon of speaking in a language that one does not know through supernatural means. Glossolalia is the practice of speaking in an unknown or inhuman language. Today we will be looking at the phenomenon of Xenoglossia, not Glossolalia. February/5/2021 Xenoglossia : In a dream on the fifth, I was talking to someone about the gift of tongues. Within the dream, It was stated that tongues are not to be used without an interpretation. Upon waking up, this made me wonder if Paul used tongues only in the context of other people and not in the context of solitude. This, of course, assumes that what happened in Acts 2 is the same thing that happened in Acts 10:44-46 wherein those present spoke in tongues, and it was also described as praises to God. So when Paul says, "I am glad that I speak in tongues more than any of you." Would that be due to Paul's constant traveling? Is he describing a ...
