Envision that there is a room, within your house, your home, that every time you are in need, you go to that room, you knock on the door, and the door opens. You walk into the room, and you ask, and that which you need is given to you. If you desire water for thirst, it is yours. If you desire power, to turn on the lights, and cool the house, when it is warm, and warm the house, when it is cool, it is yours. If you desire food, it is yours, for the asking. And not only is the food yours, for the asking, but it is especially for you, designed to fit your taste, to fuel your body. All that you ask, in that divine room, is given unto you. If you can envision such a room, then you realize there is no need to go and purchase food from a store, or ask your friends, or family, for water, when you have none. There is no need for you to go seeking, in the world, created by man, that which you need, when it is within the home, in which you dwell. You need not envision such a room, because it is already yours. Go within, and the promises will be fulfilled, but they will be fulfilled within. Knock, on the door, and ask.
And The Holy Spirit says:
You are not using all that there is for you to use, because you have been taught to seek it, in the world, created by man. Abundant life is yours, but you must go within, for: within is where you knock; within is where the door will open; within is where you must ask; within is where it shall be given unto you. Do not ignore the treasure you carry, within. It is yours. Use it.

My creation continues. And all around you, you have examples of the continuation of creation. You have examples of the present piece of eternity, with you, and how it flows out of yesterday, and there is creation in the present, which moves into tomorrow. And it continues this way. Creation, creating, create. It continues. On one side, of the Earth, there is night. On the other side, of the Earth, there is day. And in between, there are various times, marking night, day, sunset, sunrise, but it is all the present piece of eternity, and it continues. You can see it happening. In your imagination, if you could take the Earth, and spin it around, it would look like a procession, moving, moving the creation procession. All around you are examples of creation continuing, and continuing within the present piece of eternity, that is with you. That is where the seed is sown. That is where the garment is mended and hemmed. In the present piece of eternity is where creation is taking place. You cannot create yesterday. You cannot create tomorrow. You can create in the present, drawing from the past, leading into tomorrow. But creation takes place in the present piece of eternity, that is with you, now. Look at the examples around you: one place night, one place day; one place cold, one place warm. Pay attention. Creation is happening within you, all around you, right now, at the present. Nature is giving you clues, so that you might understand the mystery. Pay attention to nature. Pay attention to now.
And The Holy Spirit says:
One day, you can go to the store, and gather all the ingredients, to make a cake. You can carry them home with you, put them on a shelf, in a cupboard. You have these ingredients, which were purchased yesterday, in the past, but the ingredients, to do something, with that which you gathered, in the past, wait, until the present piece of eternity when you use, that which you gathered in the past, to create the cake, to bake the cake. The cake is baked in the present piece of eternity. And it can be eaten tomorrow. Ponder this.

Mr. Gallery was born March 9, 1950, in Charlotte, North Carolina. His family later moved to Florence, South Carolina, where he lived before his college years. After graduating from the Law School of The University of South Carolina he moved to Columbia, South Carolina, before retiring to Bakersville, North Carolina.
Mr. Gallery received his undergraduate degree from Belmont Abbey, in Belmont, North Carolina, where he was a member of the basketball team, and Phi Kappa Theta – NC Alpha Rho (alumni). Mr. Gallery received his Law Degree from the Law School of University of South Carolina, in Columbia, South Carolina. He was a member of the South Carolina Bar Association, and practiced Family Law in Columbia, South Carolina, until retiring in 2003. He was the co-founder and operator of The Quiet Place, a retreat located in Bakersville, North Carolina, with his wife. He was also President of The Quiet Place NC, Inc.

Mr. Gallery raced sailboats, out of Columbia Sailing Club, and continued his love of riding The Blue Ridge Parkway on his Harley, up until this year. He was a man of many accomplishments, but if you asked him about himself, his first response would be that he was a man of God, in service to The Lord, and temporary custodian of The Quiet Place. He completed his earthly mission, and returned Home at 7:08 PM, Saturday, June 12, 2021. He was at peace, and closer than ever to God. He will be missed, by many, but his ministry work will live on, for many. Fair sailing, good, and faithful servant.
Mr. Gallery asked that there be no funeral or memorial service, but that those he loved, and who loved him, memorialize him in their memories, hearts, and prayers. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Chapel Fund, at The Quiet Place will be gratefully accepted. He was overseeing the construction of a bridge and road, leading up to the site of the chapel in the woods, when he passed.
