I am a mystic Christian when it comes to Native Americans. This is because I am mystified by what God is doing in my life in relationship to the history of our Native Fathers as well as African and Europeans Fathers.. This is a long unclear story that won’t be revealed till the last days. For me, God speaks in parables still.
I am Rutledge, Rudd and Miller. (European names) I have some Cherokee. Rutledge is the name of a Continental Congressman who signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. He as very reluctant to sign it and we went into war with only 12 of the 13 colonies supporting it. New York was usurped.
I became a Christian on July 4 1976. 200 years from the signing of the declaration. (My mother and grandmother can find no proof we are direct descendants of this Rutledge on this side of the Atlantic, BTW .) My family has been military since WW2 and they paid my grandpa not to plant corn. My father was a veteran of the Vietnam, Korean, and Cambodian conflicts. He was stationed in San Francisco with another Lt Colonel who he befriended and started attending his church. That church was run by
Anton LaVey and it was Satanic. My dad tried to kill me from the first moment I became a Christian. I didn’t know what violence was till I met the Lord. I had to leave my home and family. I was sent to my mother in Oklahoma. We lived in Muldrow near Sallisaw. I learned of the Trail of Tears there and how Sequoia created a Cherokee alphabet. Later I did some travel nursing in Florida, got bashed by Hurricane Andrew, lived in a tent for a month before finding a contract in New Orleans. The French has some rare accounts of American History I never learned in school. I read in their library how Sequoia translated, not only the alphabet into Cherokee but the entire Bible in 30 days, along with the Creek. It is my belief that the American Government, as it stands, doomed for sending the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. I think they did it, not because there was silver in Georgia but, because the Cherokee and Creek both translated the Bible into their own tongue and it SCARED them. Just as Jesus was sold for 30 pieces of silver, the five tribes were given $30 each and sent to Oklahoma. Just like it scared them earlier in 1811 ( Point Coupe Uprising), when God made it clear to black slaves that he would free them. God had made it clear that slavery would be abolished 50 years before it occurred. Every 50 years God has Jews celebrate something called Jubilee. I think God sent me to Oklahoma at age 16 to maintain my sanity and he agreed I should be a nurse. He truly did bring a sword to me and not peace, but Oklahoma was peace for me and I don‘t know why, but I know when I study Indian Culture the peace gets stronger.. See how mystified I am….lol. I really could go on and on. It is on my mind a lot since Hurricane Katrina was 13 years after Hurricane Andrew. I left New Orleans like Lot left Sodom, a year before the storm....I am mystified....I could write all night.....I could use every ounce of allnurses.com's bandwidth....
