Experiment Adventure

In keeping with reaching out to others each of us have our favorite method. Recently, I began an experiment and would like your thoughts on this. Remember an earlier post on this website entitled, "Life Without Religion" on the Home Page? For the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been spending a lot of time interacting with numerous people in an effort to bring a sense of love for truth, God, each other as well as ourselves. Get the picture: I was reared in a rather unusual heritage which considered itself well...like, "O Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way". If you have a Facebook account go to the "Church of Christ Facebook" group and see dozens of my posts of questions, replies and interactive communications. There are over 37,000 members in the group and it gets rather lively and sometimes ridiculous posts appear. My effort is to improve the flavor and make the experience more worth while for a united front...an experience in real life most people want for themselves. I'm bundling attitudes, characteristics and suggestions on this site and applying them to my posts on Facebook. Feel free to try me with your own questions and ideas and yes, on this site for personal interaction. Probably fewer than 5% of the people will be offended. Most can prosper. But, all can learn. See what you can do in this adventure and where it might lead in improving your own life. Test me; test yourself, and see for yourself if I'm a friend or foe.

Ultimate Experience of Love

Caregiving may well be the ultimate act of love for it is the final service for those who are in their last days on the planet. Many challenges face the caregiver and the receiver of your care. There's something special about it. Many tasks to perform which are normally unusual and unpleasant at times. I have experienced the painstaking confinement of two adults as the prime caregiver: First to my bride (Pictured on the Coming Soon page) who had pancreatic cancer and my dad pictured on the News Notes page (click overview and open 2017 May 27 and see picture of dad). Dad was a WWII veteran who died of dementia.

Another heartouching story is that of Jared who's life is inspirational for the care he receives and progress made.

If you've never had the experience we know that natures call may one day be yours. Believe it or not it works better if you view the experience as an adventure of love for the helpless and you as a person. There will be some happy moments and opportunity to grow as a person.

Then also (pictured on the Coming Soon page as well) there's Patsy Andersen-Presley formerly of Graceland who became the sole caregiver for her mother.

Caregivers are special people and make great conversationalists. Who knows if you or I will need the ultimate experience of love during our lifetime?

Epitome of Purpose

Facebook: Do you have an account? If so what is your highest aim for its use? Internet technology provides a tremendous opportunity for your goals. Sure there are bad things out there but like any great invention in the wrong hands much harm can come. Upon being with my dad for months before his death a good deal of time was spent writing, reading and meditating. I crystalized my prime goal. Features include eternal considerations because as we age with more fleeting time behind we want our house in order. The values of my goal combines service now with eternal future after death. Our Creator always wanted one happy family to inhabit the earth. That's the story of the Bible! My goal is to lead people to the Source of salvation--Jesus who alone connects us to God's original purpose of unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. I urge you to go to a group called "Church of Christ Facebook" when you are on Facebook. You'll find meeting of minds of people with the "church of Christ' background and others challenging the institutional church paradigm of this small group who generally believe you must be connected with this party for salvation. The second group believes that those within God's family are not required to have membership in any denomination but simply be in fellowship with Jesus and praying terms with God while allowing the Holy Spirit to live within them. Gets pretty heated but I'm making every effort to wage peace instead of war with my brethren for the sake of unity to attract unbelievers and bring them into fellowship with God. You can see my posts and freely respond. With love...join me in this most noble service. If you think it is not noble I'll love you anyway!

"Honey" of a Find!

Finds like this are rare. For years I've known that honey in it's pure raw form is good for you. Even the Bible indicates it (Canaan, as a land "flowing with 'milk and honey'"). A several year search was ended recently while going so far as considering setting up my on bee farm to solve the problem. I landed on www.vitacost.com and what a serendipity! You'd not believe the service, prices and blessing. After about 3-4 orders I added this website to my list of the Best Websites on the "Coming Soon!" page! See for yourself by clicking the link above! When you search the health foods website, sales, free shipping etc you'll understand why I say, "enough said"!
