I too had an encounter, years ago, since then I see everything as DUNG, except souls.
Had another birthday today, another year closer to my Lord, and I too cannot wait, in the meantime we must OCCUPY.
Sad to say that word Occupy has been co-opted, but par for the course for satan, as he mocks everything.
Exactly.
Nothing like experiencing the presence of God to burn out the dross and set your priorities straight.
