Jecharon said, "It does mean that the creatures that are such as the Big Hairy one are smart enough to interact with others of there kind and cooperate for working as big groups. They do not do so here, but it seems they would do so for having many structures for their dwellings together beyond...
Although we at some point come to understand the wisdom of God is greater than our own and we align ourselves with Him, being half tamed/half feral, we still seek our own wisdom at times. It is human nature and our life is a struggle to overcome the self serving instincts of our bodily vehicle...
Hillariah and Jecharon soon told the others in the small settlement they had started about this vision. Alverten said, "One of us might meet that giant percher bird, which spoke first here, and we could ask about the community the Big Hairy one has. Was it not mentioned before?"

The Invisible Woman
Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets...
One of the most profound chapters i have read in Christian literature. It is very much worth the read.
"The Mote and the Beam"
Excerpt from "The Calvary Road" by Roy Hession
(Click on book title for the insightful chapter, and ebook)
I don't recall agreeing on every single aspect in the...
First, i apologize for not quoting scripture on this one right now as it contains quite a bit in regards to our journeys, and i took it from a very recent post on morality, but you can find a good deal of this in the book of Romans, Galatians, and Genesis. In some ways it may be better to just...
What's all the Worship About?
You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
Nehemiah 9:6
The...
This Year, Leave Diet Behind and Live!
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law...
Here is the next chapter for those that are interested in what happens next, but if you haven't read "Under the Influence", stop now and read that blog entry first. Here is the link: Under the Influence
I cut this following chapter short here as i need to work on it.
The Revolutionary...
Another chapter. I had a good chuckle reading this chapter again, but no joke, this was a grievous time in my life where i was looking to connect with others intent on following Jesus. Unfortunately, i kept coming across stuff like this, although i use symbolism.
And not that I'm perfect...
Hillariah told Jecharon that morning when they were up, "I had a vision, though Yahweh did not speak of anything to me. It seems to mean that there are some number of the creatures just like the Big Hairy that keep a community for them further on that way to the north, beyond where we would...
We were told to act in servitude to God and each other, not live our lives looking out for number one and what can be gained at the expense of others. That applies not only in home life but all the way up to global rule. One need only turn on their tv or smart phone to see the world does not...
We are born with both good and evil, two necessary components as all is made up of opposing forces. We went out of balance when we acquired the knowledge of said good and evil, at which time we also chose to self determine what actions we would label with each in order to self justify our deeds...
What Jesus started was a movement, not a religion, and movements kind of lead themselves once they get going. Human institutions such as religions require leaders but this movement was not human, but the good news of the Kingdom of God which was itself a counter-culture to the ways of humans...
The Law,
To Serve and Protect
(Another chapter)
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are...
Excerpt from a book i wrote awhile back. Going to make some minor adjustments and, will again, post online for free.
The Dance
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."...
God has said ever since the Garden, not to put our will ahead of His. We are too selfish to control using our own will. Jesus did what was required of Him, but He also said He came to share the good news of the Kingdom (as are we commanded) and to do His part in bringing it about. That good news...
If church means a gathering or assembly, then it need not mean a government or institution which is the traditional way of man, and a form the religion has taken until today. It was meant originally to represent the Kingdom, and Jesus said it would be built only on truth from the Father, not...
Hillariah saw herself going high over the earth beyond the new settlement toward very distant hills. She came to those and went past them. She saw then that on the other side out of sight from the settlement there was a wide area of constructed shelters. A large river flowed alongside it further...
