Greetings Dawlins of ours!!!
We all know some whom we love but whose life example we are shamed for their behavior and attitudes are shameful.
We need not allow their behavior nor their choices hover over us and steal HIS joy from me or from you...
The sun of the Son shall shine forever more through anything that makes me or you blue...For when we have HIM & HE has me & you...
There is absolutely not a thing we must do alone.....we need not be strong...
But let HIM who is in you and in me...who longs to free of from all bondage and pain...
It is always better to live in one's own tent and eat vegtables than to live in mansions where their is hate, jealousy, or un-forgiveness.

HE yearns to take upon HIS own shoulders all that weighs any and all of you, me, and my Puddin Head Precious William...
But HE is a gentleman who will never force HIS will our desire upon us...
We must reach out to HIM ask in trust and actually give our sorrows, fears....our joys and laughter too...
To HIM...
As St Francis says: Cast your care upon HIM for HE cares for me and you...
So you and we need not fear but remain free indeed in, with & though HIM the only friend who is forever Faithful and never makes mistakes...
HE knew long before now that this too would come....
And this too shall pass...
And at last...HE will raise us onto HIS Holy Wings of fire and with great love
HE shall carry us above and upon these clouds of our circumstance...
It is never up to us do do anything but obey and and follow....
We are called to be believers not achievers...
Obedient followers of HIS leadership...
Not the leaders less we shall slip...
Fall and go down into pits laid as traps for us....or even traps and prisons of our own making.
We must however invite others to join us in following the only Good Shepherd who is Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the only Living God.
And it is the very fact that we are not required to find our own way...
But follow HIM who is the way, the Truth and the Light and Life

And it is the very fact that we are not required to find our own way...
But follow HIM who is the way, the Truth and the Light and Life
That gives us freedom...from responsibility to fix things...
But trust HIM....believe HIM to make the way where there seems to be know way.
But trust HIM....believe HIM to make the way where there seems to be know way.
For whoever & whatever foils our plans....happens so that HIS commands have the opportunity to trample the enemy again and again Amen!
I am still washing everything by hand and packing our van with most all of our belongings....except for our mattress so that if the evil one continues to illegally enter there will be nothing of value for them to steal....
Not that we worry about things
But rather the fact things have been stolen we cannot leave papers with personal information whether medical, social Security....whatever.

Preparing to embrace tent camping still again on November 30, 2013. Would be a blessing if someone would donate their camping trailer or RV to a Vietnam Veteran suffering Agent Orange disease and his wife that they can be more comfortable.
William needs help in the bathroom, dressing etc....not because of the tumor which is improved...but the hernia which he would not have had he allowed me to do our lifting and carrying on Art Stroll Day October 5, 2013.
He is not one to sit back and let others do all things for him.
He is not one to sit back and let others do all things for him.
Each of you....each of you are so so precious....precious... precious!
Whether you are among the few here in the United States who have chosen to receive our hearts within yours...or if you are among the many in different parts of Europe, Asia, India and Africa...or upon islands and anywhere around this earth who have loved us for years over the Internet !!
Love & Blessings to you!
Lets never get discouraged but instead encourage one another...our sisters and brothers...
Let us never compete with our friend, sister or brother...
But instead seek to assist our friend along his our her journey...
Making our own journeys a shared journey...
For it is not about getting to a finish line first...
But making certain that we go through the narrow gates with care together that not one trips without being lifted up and carried upon our shoulders...
For we are to be imitators of HIM Jesus Christ.
We are not to be seeking to be the first to finish...but to bring with us many souls along with us who also cross the finish line safely & securely through the narrow gate to salvation in heaven forever together forever.
Let not one be lost....imitate HIM HE already paid the cost that you and I need not be the best...but the last to cross the finish line after making certain that each one whom HE has given us...placed on our path needy of friendship, love, compassion or any good physical or spiritual thing...
Sing Sing Sing....New songs of joy & thanksgiving and all living will therefore be full filling our hearts and HIS plans for all to eternity.
We need not follow the example of one who refuses to forgive the dead who cannot change that which they did wrong so long ago.
We do not need to adopt the life style of a father or mother who has not chosen God's best...
We need not give them access to us and allow them to further abuse us either...we do need however...love them with our sincere prayers that God lead them to Himself.
