I’m reading the book ‘My Ishmael’ by Daniel Quinn. I’ve never read his work before. ‘My Ishmael’ is the second in a series, but this is where I began. It doesn’t matter that I have not yet read ‘Ishmael’ but I most certainly intend to go back to it after reading this treasure. I cannot recommend this book enough!!!!

Flowers in the Weeds
While pulling weeds in my strawberry patch today, I was yet again reminded that it was my Mother who taught me to be able to see the beautiful flowers in and amongst the weeds. When I was a child, like many youngsters growing up, one of the chores I would be given to do was to pull the weeds in the flower, rock and/or food gardens. I hated this chore. Didn’t we all?!?! I learned to recognize weeds and I learned that one can fall on their butt if they pull too hard on a well established weed. I also learned how to identify the plants we wanted to thrive for our own purposes.
Soul sovereignty in a digital age
We are being harvested. Harvested?!?! What?!?! Yes harvested. Everytime one logs onto a website some data regarding our habits is captured and then ‘sold’ by someone. Selling does not always mean a monetary transaction. Sometimes it’s just a mutual sharing or a boost for those who own the website to which we traveled. Are you OK with this happening? You might be OK that those who own a website that you sought and spent time on received a boost of some sort. You chose to visit and spend time. But what about the harvests that take place just because? Continue reading “Soul sovereignty in a digital age”
Where have all the antelope gone?
Several years ago, as we watched a small herd of mama antelope with their babies playing in our back pasture, I had a friend pensively ask why she no longer had antelope at her place. They have 40 acres SE of Denver and used to see them all the time. I asked if more fences had gone in around her. She said yes, but she still got plenty of deer. She wondered why the antelope disappeared. I told her that it’s the fencing.
Antelope are not prone to jumping like deer do. Will they jump? Yes. Will they choose to move out of an area if their only option for migration and daily movement is to jump fences? YES. Continue reading “Where have all the antelope gone?”
GMO’s and the God complex
As humans we all are prone to the seven deadly sins. So today let’s talk about PRIDE. Our ego often replaces our need for God through our pride. GMO’s(Genetically Modified Organisms) are one such example.
One of the arguments I often hear for GMO’s is that we need them to feed the world. Interesting concept when one considers that God created a sustainable planet. Where we get it wrong is in our desire to dominate the planet rather than be the stewards that God commanded of us. Since we, in our pride, feel that we know how to grow food in a ‘better’ way than how God has given us, we have to make modifications that are more technical and scientific than faith driven.
