Well, well, guess what happened to me last night. I had a thought come to me, "what is the difference between the soul and spirit? Aren't they the same?"

Most of you probably already know, but I tell ya what, I googled and read and read and it still made no sense. I fell asleep with this lack of understanding running through my noggin and when I woke I understood. I dreamt of having a conversation about it all night. I assume with God, my question was being answered. So here I am to tell you once again of the difference. If you go to BENSEL VISION and scroll down to interpretation of that night of God talking to me. I put the difference as I feel I was taught while I slept.

I have a thought, also, on how we are truly made IN GOD'S IMAGE, literally. But first I will explain what I feel to understand as the difference between Soul and Spirit. Now mind you, I am not talking about The Holy Spirit, but I will involve Him also with this. It is really rather cool!

In the vision I had that night, part of it talks about 'God sleeping in my soul yet my spirit is singing'. There it is, the separation of the two. Again, most of you probably already knew this, so you can scroll on past all of this or go to another blog if you wish. We are all born with a soul, the image of God, the bit of energy from Him. But for those that didn't know and it is used in the Bible, here is one, our spirit is separate and has to be grown and is what helps us be able to hear Him and walk with Him through our lives.

Luke 1:46-47 

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,  47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Our souls are the human of us, the part made in God's image. And it is the emotions, love, we glorify God with our souls, but our spirit SPEAKS with the Lord. When we begin reaching for God, prayer, talking to, or have a strong desire to hear Him. Our 'spirit' begins its journey of growth within the soul. The soul is like a channel for our spirit. That is why it is so important to pray constantly or talk with God or think of Him. With each reach, our spirit grows in our souls. It is also called 'spirituality.' Also, it is important so we stay on path and do good and not bad stuff. Can't see it's bad unless you are tuned into His word and His will. Reading the Bible, reaching to understand,  we stay in tune with our spirit that is the communicator with God! Cool, huh? Well it is to me, it makes sense in so many ways. 

The more we pray and speak to God, the more our spirit grows in our soul and the more clearly we can 'hear' Him.

Life is a whole lot easier when you know how and what you are supposed to do and live here. So, as Mary said in Luke 1:46-47, her soul magnifies the Lord and her spirit rejoiced. If you google, there is a lot of help understanding it on the net, but it just didn't make sense until I woke after dreaming of talking about it all night and being shown.

HOW WE TRULY ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE

This came to me this morning while discussing my dream with Irene Baron. Truly, we are made in His image, in His Holy Trinity image!

Ponder this if you will. God is invisible, so he sent His Son Jesus, who is word made flesh/ God made flesh/ and The Holy Spirit.  I believe WE truly are made in the image of the HOLY TRINITY! God is the 'body', of the Holy Trinity, Jesus is the 'soul', which glorifies God like our 'soul' does, and the Holy Spirit is the 'spirit',. Just like we have our body, soul and spirit.

When God wants us to love Him, "with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength," our minds and heart and strength is 'the body, as God is the body of The Holy Trinity. Jesus, is the 'soul' of The Holy Trinity and The Holy Spirit is the 'spirit,' of the Holy Trinity! Do you see, that literally we are made in His image, the complete of The Holy Trinity is us! Whew that hurt my brain a bit.

I hope it makes sense. If it doesn't no worries! God created us with all the tools to live the life He wants us to live. We will reach for those specific tools when we know to reach. 

Talk to God everyday, The Lord, The Holy Spirit, God! As God showed me, while recording Mary Knew, by Irene Baron, for audio book. Jesus has been given all the power and glory through His sacrifice for us. He gets all the glory. Everything goes through Jesus who glorifies the Father! All has to go through Jesus, which we all know. You can't just pray to God. You have to bring Jesus into every prayer. 

To those that needed to hear this, yay us! To those that knew it already, why didn't you tell me! To those who are wonderfully enjoying the journey through and with love here, yay us again. 

Ask and you shall receive goes for everything. When you feel a need to understand something, start reading the Bible, researching on the net, and trust me, God will make it clear to you and a lot of times IN A DREAM!

He likes dream speak. Our subconscious is much more open than when our mind is desiring cinnamon toast and coffee. God bless all! And thank you for reading this cool moment. Well, it is cool to me!

 

 

INTO THE LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH
~The First Hello to God ~ 

THE BEGINNING   

As I have gone through my life, God has shown me the so many different levels of learning, how to hear Him, and how to do and know what is His will for me. How to know, I should say, He seems so quiet and yet He is always 'talking' to us in a way we learn to hear. But we will never hear Him if we do not begin the conversation.

Praying is talking to God. The simple thought of talking to or asking Him for help or giving Him thanks, is actually from our 'spirit' and is  opening a small line of light or a telephone line for communication and learning between you and Him.

When we reach for God it gives Him a chance to reply with teaching us. God is not intrusive and will never force His will on us. We have free will and choice. When we bring God into our daily moments, talk to Him, "Gosh, God I need help today.." He hears and begins the individual journey and path with us.

Everyone born has an individual journey with God and their own path with Him. My path is not yours or his or theirs. If you are a parent you see each child is different and you, as the parent, also teach each child in a different way to the same end, do we not?

An easy and simple way to see not to judge others, well we shouldn't because we are then condemned by the sin we are judging them of committing (Romans 2:1). But also, not to judge, for you have no idea of their path with God or at what level they are with Him spiritually.

When we first go to school we learn the basics, one plus one is two etc. We are on a simple beginner level in school. This is the same as when we begin our journey with God. We begin with learning His word, even though most, if not all, at first make no sense.

Have you ever wondered why so many things in the Bible make no sense to you? Then on any given day it is clear as a bright sunny day. When we learn 'one plus one is two,' we see the numbers and know the answer. If someone would throw down a calculus or any other advanced math problem, we would see numbers but not understand the problem. For we are still on one plus one equals two level.

As we reach, pray, and talk to God, we grow our spirit to become more familiar with His voice.  We learn or hear Him because we went to school ~ reached for Him ~ then learned, one plus one is two. He can begin to lift us to higher levels in spiritual understanding of Him and His word when WE reach to learn. Wanting to be closer to God will cause Him to help you do just that.

It is up to us to open for Him. Reach with all you can. Sharpen that pencil, eat a good breakfast put into your soul a desire to know Him and learn. I will be talking about the so many different levels and ways God does teach us in PART II : ) 

 

FIRE INSIDE - Words that came to Mitch while resting...  
www.mitchbensel.com

I was soaking in a hot tub, resting after cycling several miles. I fell asleep but was awakened with these words being spoken. I was saying them, "Nobody told them they  have a fire inside.." .. I got up and wrote them down. and more came to life. We have a fire inside, it is our soul and our love for God! This talks of the journey of life when we are lost in drugs, temptations and life has us by our souls. Then a  realization we wasted life, then finding God, and the ‘fire inside.’The last words of this I feel, felt like was from a place in life when time says God is real. WE all have a fire inside! Never too late!  

 

Nobody told them they had a fire inside.. 

and the wish did slip around in their mind, 

lips of ice told of lies of days gone by.. 

 

I watch the blue drip down my wall as I sit.. in my bathroom stall 

I sprinkle powder and then I know it all.. 

Burning eyes see the cold of heat 

hands feeble try to feel complete.. whispered.. but the power is gone 

 

I watch my feet follow the morning dawn but the shadows only know the torn 

of the ease of tears 

and the watch.. of those who mourn.. 

 

I grab my head as I feel it burst with pain from the very first of the thought.. 

of power now thrown with thirst 

pulling my feet back inside my head 

I float..into oblivion 

...dead.. 

where the mast meets the sail of eternity 

 

the waste of time now the gone of mine 

is this life..I throw against that wall of sublime and the wish.. that moves around in

my mind ......... 

 

somebody tell them they have a fire inside!

not to waste a moment of this place we reside called life.. and live and never hide.. 

lips of ice can be warmed again 

fire released can be used my friend 

..open those feeble hands again and survive!

HOW GOD TOLD ME I WAS A HEALER
as told to Irene Baron

On 19 November 2021, this true story was told to Irene Baron by Mitch Bensel. "As soon as I begin the prayer for healing, I am shown light moving within their body. The brighter the light in any part of their body, the more intense is the healing taking place."

The  healing light from God has created numerous miracles internationally for over 20 years. 

"I was on an Oregon beach with a friend who doesn’t share her rocks or any treasures she finds. They are hers.

 

As I was walking, I decided to ask God if I was really a healer because of the many miracles where people were healed in my life.  I thought it was prayer that did it. I had been looking for rocks. The beach had many small ones scattered in the sand. So, while I was walking on the beach, I said, “Okay, God, if I’m a healer for you, I want to find a really big agate!.” 

Immediately, my friend reached toward me with a big rock. She lowered her head as though she was bowing, looking down to her feet. She extended her arm straight out to me with the rock in her hand and said, “This is yours.” 

It was a big geode with massive white quartz crystals throughout the center area. Not an agate, but still the largest cool rock on the beach! 

  She said, again, “This is yours.” 

  I took the rock from her and was skeptical. Coincidence possibly? So I asked again,  “Okay, God,  if I’m a healer, I want to find a blue rock with an “X”  on it. Knowing it wouldn’t happen, there were no blue rocks on this beach. 
God answered me. A foot in front of me was a small blue rock, I picked it up and there was a grey X on it. I was shocked. Those were two signs from God. 

The next day I was walking alone on the beach about 300 feet from the ocean. I turned around to walk back and there was a seal that wasn’t there a minute before.  It had brilliant blue eyes with a grey-black “X” between its eyes. I could feel vibrant energy coming off this seal. It was a joyous euphoric energy coming toward me.  I thought God was wanting me to heal it or something. I didn’t know what to do and the energy was overwhelmingly wonderful. 

I prayed over the seal and said, “I hope you feel better, but I’m not touching you.” I walked away talking to God all the time.  I took about eight steps and turned around to go back to the seal, but it was gone. There were no tracks of it going to the ocean. There was no way it could have gone all that distance back to  the ocean without me seeing it.  It just vanished, leaving me with a feeling of euphoria and great energy.  I don’t think seals have blue eyes. I realized God was telling me I was a healer. 

First was the big rock I asked for, the blue rock with an “X,” and then the seal with overwhelming beautiful energy coming from it, with an X between its eyes. The blue eyes had looked right at me. With the energy around it and all it encompassed, the air was alive. I knew as I walked that God showed me three signs to answer my question of me being a healer. 'I gotta’ do this. God wants me to do this.' 

That is the story of the rocks and when I questioned God as to whether I was  a healer for Him or not."

First Long Distance Healing, 
Not A Healing, & Blood Clots Healed 
as told to Irene Baron Nov 2021 by Mitch Bensel 

Mitch Bensel has been gently and quietly praying for God's healing light through The Holy Spirit for over twenty years. This healing can instantly move to any location on the Earth at the speed of light. He does not advertise or charge for the healing.

 

First Long Distance Healing 
 

I asked God to show me how to do this. It was just something I did for so long.  I just did. I knew people were helped by God.  It was just part of my day.   We are all healers. We say a prayer to heal with faith. Ask and you shall receive. So I kept questioning. 

Then I was on a game site and an artist spoke to me who was so injured she couldn’t raise her arm.  I was nudged to help her.  I said I would try to send to her long distance. I asked, “Do you believe in Jesus? I touched her name on the screen. 

I saw light moving through her shoulders and down her spine. I saw the light inside my mind. I see the whole person and how the light goes different places in their body. It’s just there. It doesn’t move into them, just through them. It takes only a few seconds. 

I said, “Okay. I’m done.” 

She felt heat and peace and thanked me. A few days later she could raise her arms. She could paint again. She could go swimming and was healed.  I said “Yay!  again. 

So long distance healing can be done.  That was my first long distance healing.  She painted a picture for me and wrote on the back, “Given as a token of friendship to Mitch. My dear friend. My healer. I can’t  imagine my life with you not in it.” See image of the painting to the left. The salutation on the back of the frame is: "Given as a token of friendship to "Mitch," my Dear friend, my healer. I can't imagine my life with you not in it."

Not A Healing 
Another time, something happened with my youngest daughter.  We were rollerblading at our apartment complex and weren’t really good at it. It was difficult to stop.  I said, “we’ll run into the grass to stop”. 

We turned a corner and were rolling  downhill. Keri began to head for a car parked in the carport. She was going so fast, she couldn’t change her path. She saw what was happening and froze on her rollerblade. She couldn’t move. 

Everything in me stilled, even though I was rolling. I surrounded her with energy. At the time it felt weird and time felt quiet. I asked God to surround and protect her. Keri jumped up into the air and spun around. She landed on the rollerblades and stopped. 

 I yelled, “How did you do that? 
She yelled back. “I don’t know!.” She didn’t get hurt. That wasn’t healing. Yet it was a miracle. 

Blood Clots Healed 
The next long distance healing was my baby sister. She was in a hospital with blood clots. She called me and asked, “Can you do that healing thing you do over the phone?” 
      I said, “We can try.” 
      “How long will it take?” 
      “A few seconds. Maybe 3 to 4 seconds, not very long.” 
      She said, “Okay.” 
      “Okay,” I said and began to heal. As I watched the image in front of me, it started at the feet. The light went up her legs, around her lungs and shot up out of her head.  I said, “Okay. Done.” 

She was excited and said, “I felt it. It started at my toes and moved up and went into my head.  Why did you send it to my head.” 

“I didn’t. It goes where it wants to go. Maybe you had a clot starting there. I don’t know.” She felt it without me saying where it was going. 

She had blood clots in her lungs, the doctors helped her to continue to heal. This showed Mitch that what he was being shown really occurred. Part of his learning process.

END TIMES SIGNS - Part I 
by Irene Baron   1 April 2022

How God informed Mitch Bensel that he was to become a healer fulfills a prophecy in Revelation 2:17.
We are surely in the end times before the Rapture.

The realization of this fulfillment began before dawn on 21 March 2022. I followed my nudges to read the Biblical book of Revelation in the King James version by Tyndale House Publishers.

I read chapter one and began chapter two, stopping at verse 17. I couldn't believe my eyes and read it several more times. Until this time in my life, the verse made no impact. Today, it did. 

REVELATION 2: 17
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto 
the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden 
manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name 
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 

What Apostle John wrote in Revelation 2:17 fits Mitch Bensel to a “T.” 

In my association with healer, Mitch Bensel, I have been told how he knew God wanted him to become a healer. He did not know until later in life he had been destined to work for our Lord God by having a holy birth. 
https://irenebaron.com/irene-baron-blog/blog/mitch-bensel-part-i 

The understanding of that verse in Revelation came upon me as I read it. To experience this understanding gave a thrill such as that associated with affirmation by the Holy Spirit. Those of you who have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit will know what I experienced. 

Explanation of the prophecy fulfillment:

The verse, “To him that overcometh,” I believe, refers to the difficult life Mitch has had and continues to have. After experiencing many temptations and hardships, he gave his life to God in 2021. He has had to overcome much put upon him by the unholy spirits wishing to stop him from serving God. 

In March 2022, he was told by one who knows that he will continue to be attacked by the dark forces because of what he accomplishes to help his Heavenly Father.  To be continually attacked and survive horrific satanic assaults on his life and body may have made his body weak, but his mind is rich and full of the love for God and His Son, Jesus Immanuel, The Christ. Please know that as I write this, destructive things are happening on my computer that have not occurred previously. These events make me think that dark spirits do not want his holy gift revealed to the world. 

In the verse, “…will I give to eat of the hidden manna,…” I use the commonly recognized definition of manna that is, “an unexpected or gratuitous benefit.”  Gratuitous is defined as “given or done free of charge.” 

That “manna” or gratuitous gift given to Mitch Bensel has been a form of healing unlike any other existing on this Earth that we know of. 

Mitch Bensel, from wherever he is located, can gently and quietly initiate God’s healing light through The Holy Spirit by prayer. This healing can instantly move to any location on the Earth at the speed of light. He does not advertise nor charge for his healing. When asked about it, he replied, “How can you charge for something from God?” 

What is miraculous is how he is currently being taught many applications of the healings. He is also being given experiences of different forms of mass healings of persons around the world. 

When he was suspected of having a cancerous mass within his body in the last year, I prayed to God and His Son, Jesus Immanuel, that the mass not be cancer.  Sometimes, during my life, I have been spoken to during prayer and visions. During that prayer I was told in an angelic man’s voice, “HE IS NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.” I knew then his mass would not be cancer and he was going to live. Whatever is going to happen in the future, God is going to use Mitch Bensel to help others around the world. The question is, what is going to happen that mass healings will be needed? 

Using his gift of healing through The Holy Spirit, Mitch Bensel has instantly healed quadriplegics, reversed COPD, chronic pain, afflictions, and many forms of illness unable to be cured by the medical profession.  He healed seven splayed disks in my back, the torn meniscus in each of my knees, arthritis of my hands, damage to my left thumb, and given me peace of mind. 

In the verse, “…and will give him a white stone,…” two miracles occurred to Mitch Bensel involving his being given a white stone. They happened on a beach in Oregon when he asked of our Lord God whether or not he was truly to be a healer. 

In one of my blogs I related what occurred. What follows is an excerpt from that blog in Mitch’s words. https://irenebaron.com/irene-baron-blog/blog/mitch-bensel-part-ii-how-god-told-me-to-be-a-healer 

Mitch said:

"I was on an Oregon beach with a friend who doesn’t share her rocks or any treasures she finds. They are hers. 

As I was walking, I decided to ask God if I was really a healer because of the many miracles where people were healed in my life.  I thought it was prayer that did it. I had been looking for rocks. The beach had many small ones scattered in the sand. So, while I was walking on the beach, I said, ‘Okay, God, if I’m a healer for you, I want to find a really big agate!’ 

Immediately, my friend reached toward me with a big rock. She lowered her head as though she was bowing, looking down to her feet. She extended her arm straight out to me with the rock in her hand and said, “This is yours.” 

It was a big geode with massive white quartz crystals throughout the center area. Not an agate, but still the largest cool rock on the beach! 

She said, again, “This is yours.” 

I took the rock from her and was skeptical. Coincidence possibly? So I asked again, “Okay, God,  if I’m a healer, I want to find a blue rock with an “X”  on it. Knowing it wouldn’t happen, there were no blue rocks on this beach. 

God answered me. In front of me was a small blue rock, I picked it up and there was a grey X on it. I was shocked. Those were two signs from God.” 

Thus is the truth of how Mitch Bensel was given a white stone from God. 

In the verse section, “…and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it,” Mitch Bensel knew by receiving affirmation of being a healer for God, his name was “healer.” 

What no one “knoweth” was that the gift of healing he received from the Holy Spirit before he was born was unlike any other type of healing that existed on Earth that we know of.

No other human that we know of has had the gift from the Holy Spirit, to heal individuals or masses of others like Mitch Bensel. He has had the healing gift since birth and sent healing as a child. Working in a major hospital trauma unit, he secretly healed patients with whom he worked.

His healings have always been quietly sent. However, In 2021, Bensel said after he gave his life to God, he was nudged to make them loud. He thus turned to the Methodist Church ministries, the healing churches. His first public healing was at Coburn UM Church in Zanesville, Ohio in September 2021. His second at that same church is scheduled for 22 May 2022 at 6 p.m. 

Bensel does not have to see those whom he heals, touch them, or know where they are on this Earth. He only has to be told WHO they are. Omnipotent God knows who every person was and is whom Mitch heals and what healing they

are to receive in His time.  Mitch says all healing is given in God’s time. 

As Mitch’s form of healing through the Holy Spirit continued, he was taught to refine it and be used by The Holy Spirit as needed. In early 2022, he was nudged to send healing to Covid-19 victims around the world. He initiated the healing that was sent out and it continued to be sent. In his past, the energy of God’s healing light would take different amounts of time to different people, depending upon what they needed, usually several seconds. 

On this day, when he began to send the healing through The Holy Spirit, the healing sends continued. The Holy Spirit sent healing unceasingly for over two days. Throughout that time, even while sleeping, God’s healing light was moving out into the world. Mitch was shown light moving throughout the world and could feel the energy move to reach others.  It was the most massive amount of healing he had every experienced in one 48+ hours of sending. Like all the healing he experienced, it took no energy on his part.  It took only his thought to do so. Once this Covid-19 healing began, it had to touch so many Covid-19 victims that it continued over two days. 

Many persons Mitch has cured in the past had no idea they were being healed or that he was a healer. No matter where he was located, as he saw people of all ages in pain or crippled, he  anonymously sent them healing. 

When he worked over 20-years in a trauma unit in a major hospital, no one on the staff or any patient had any idea they were being healed though his prayers or that he was a healer. He secretly initiated healing to many, the healing unknown to anyone but himself, The Holy Spirit, and God. 

Many types of his hospital experiences during those many years which are  told in one of his many books, “Trauma is my business – ER Journal -Based in Real Events.” 

 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L2R9TQ4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 

Mitch Bensel always healed quietly, his gift being shared among those who needed healing by word of mouth. 

People may contact Mitch Bensel through email for healing at : mitchbensel@mitchbensel.com.

Thus, one verse in Revelation (Chapter 2, verse 17) has been interpreted by me and explained. I thought, who else has ever received a large white stone?  Everything in that verse points to Mitch Bensel!

What I have stated about occurrences in the life of Mitch Bensel is truth. Whether Revelation is referring to Mitch Bensel in these end times will be debated. Pray to God to discern whether this is true. I will appreciate your comments. 
_____________________________

Something most people don’t realize is that Mitch has begun a new ministry. He is creating crosses from driftwood found along the Ohio River. When the crosses are finished, he asks God to bless them with what the purchaser needs, usually for protection, safety, and peace. He asks God to Bless the buyer also. He is shown the cross on a wall in a home, then shown fear, pain, arguments or whatever that home needs help with. The light of God's love is put upon the cross. It is still just wood in the shape of the cross the symbol of love and sacrifice. People that have the Bensel cross state it brings peace, or it glows, or it lifts their spirits just with a glance upon them. Some feel energy of warmth or calmness fall away from it through the room.

They will soon be available on this website store and are currently sold on Etsy at Mitch Bensel Treasures. Testimonies received of the miracles that have happened with the crosses in their final home or while on the way to their “home” are spectacular and will soon be posted on this website.

THE BENSEL CROSS
 EXPLANATION 
 Transcribed January 2022 

MITCH SAYS ... 
I carve crosses out of driftwood from the Falls of The Ohio. They start with driftwood and are carved with remembrance of the crucifixion. Then they become driftwood again. The driftwood represents love. It appears to flow with light and love when finished and I ask God to bless them.

Every cross has grooves and deformities which make it beautiful like He is beautiful by His destroyed, mangled, beaten, and torn flesh. We beat Him causing the blood to leave. It tore his flesh, but because of that, he saved us.   The beauty of that touch on the cross is that Jesus saved all of us. So while you look upon these crosses, notice that nature tried to change each and make it useless. So, I took these supposedly defeated and ugly pieces of damaged drift wood and began to make each one into what represents love and His sacrifice for us.   I take this piece of wood and cut into it. With each cut I see Him being whipped. With each cut I see pieces of His skin fall away. I start with a piece of driftwood, but it becomes a crucifix while cutting it. When finished it becomes a brilliantly beautiful example of God’s love for us and the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, to save our souls. So, it starts as driftwood where time and nature tried to destroy the wood with wearing away at it, disfiguring it.   I take it home, clean it by letting it soak in water and bleach and carve God’s sacrifice into it and through it. Finishing up, it returns to just beautiful driftwood in the shape of a cross which represents love.   The reason I like using driftwood to make crosses is because time and nature and water and air have altered the wood. I add more grooves and cuts which represent the lashings Jesus received. Nature altered the drift wood like man altered Jesus. They tore into him by lashing him, beating him, and nailing him to the wood.   When you look upon it you don’t feel sad, you feel euphoric. You feel His love and you see His beauty, His strength and what He gave us, salvation.   When these crosses are sold, I ask God to bless what that home needs. I am shown different walls the cross will be on. I see different things happening, sorrow, anger or needing protection.The blessings stay with the cross The crosses will find where they are supposed to be. God knows where he wants them.   It’s all about respect. I’m not just cutting up a piece of wood. I am at His crucifixion. I feel His love for us. With each cut and alteration of the drift wood I am a witness to His sacrifice. The powerful feeling of His presence is beautifully magnified with His gift to me to feel His love and to create a cross reminding us whenever we glance upon it of His love. They are not made in mass quantity. They are made with love and respect individually touched and carved onto altered and aged wood from the river.   Many years ago a friend of mine had a dream and told me I was supposed to make crosses. I didn’t know how to work with wood. But I did my best and they are all unique and belong to certain people.  God knows where He wants them. They are still just a piece of driftwood, but they represent the ultimate expression of love.   Time and nature are natural. That’s why I’m so cool, time has hit me. Making a joke here hope it made ya smile. : )   There will be crosses and other things for sale on this site in the near future.  New crosses are avialable on my ETSY account. Write to me, DM me, or Text me I will make one for you.   Etsy: Mitch Bensel Treasures  Email: mitchbensel@mitchbensel.com
