The name of this feeling is Permission. So much Permission that I said to myself, “Harold you never felt Permission before this seems to be too much Permission. Permission from the beginning. Permission from the middle. Permission from the end. Permission no human being could grant. It’s 2021spring time and I need to find peace not God I had him, not the name of Jesus I had that, and not Jesus I had Him too or so I thought not the Bible I read that. I needed to read some words that would grant me an understanding of why I feel all this Divine Permission. So I look on my shelf in the chapel at Hardcover and I see a green and gold Book. I reach and grab it I place it on Yael’s desk and I ask God please let the first thing I read in this Book be the answer I’m looking for—I fling the Book open at a random page and I put my finger down and read the words ”Permission to fight is given to those on whom war is made because they are oppressed. And surely Allah is Able to assist them.” I read those words and I cried for what seem like 1400 years, 450 in America, 44 years of my life, and 69 years of My Mother’s life. After I got myself together I felt extremely bad for anyone that I had the Permission to fight because they would surely be the losers. This Book was the Holy Quran.
