I have been intending to write a 2017 summary for some time now, but kept putting my time and attentions elsewhere. One thing about Arizona spring weather is that we get several days at a time when the wind blows hard enough that one does not want to go outside. This is one of those days, so it is a good time to write. Continue reading “2017 Summary”

Lime—An Attempt To Build God’s Way
Back in November, at the Understanding God’s Loving Laws Assistance Group, Jesus and Mary taught how important it is to align all of our creations with God’s Laws. They explained that God wants us to create everything in a loving way—efficiently and beautifully, with consideration to all living things. When it comes to building homes, God wants us to discover products that are beautiful, functional, efficient with time, energy and resources, do not harm any living things or the environment, do not degrade, and are even alive!

The Bully Inside
As I have described in previous posts, here at my high desert home, there is a seemingly endless list of things that need attention, fixing, doing, building, planting, creating etc to make it a truly safe, secure, comfortable, self-responsible, enjoyable and beautiful home, and the sheer magnitude of this list really get me down at times. I often feel overwhelmed. Continue reading “The Bully Inside”

Murphy Meets God
Murphy’s Law: What can go wrong will go wrong.

Teepee Poles and Cloudy Weather
Back in June, when summer came quickly to heat up my new desert home, I was outside in front of my house watering my newly planted trees and bushes in the cool morning calmness, and a truck came down the normally quiet dirt road that I live on. Continue reading “Teepee Poles and Cloudy Weather”
A Year Of Truth And Following Desires
Last June (2015), I was living in Geyserville, California, and I had just broken up from a relationship and wasn’t sure what to do with my life or where to go. So when I happened to visit a community called Isis Oasis to see about temporary housing, and found that they were looking for help in exchange for a place to live, I could feel that it would be a good experience for me.
