yoo hoo!!!!! honey, i'm home!!!!!!!

lol, i'm home, after all this time, i'm bloggin' again on my usual blogville. but please do continue to check out mine and my friend's travel blog, as we will continue putting memories and revelations and reflections etc on it. yay!!!!!! [clap clap clap] lol.

i was eating a nectarine tonight, and it has funny white spots in it.... is that normal? it's on the nubbly flesh of the nectarine, around the pit..... icky. i see white on food, i think mold.... or insect eggs. yuck.

speaking of home.... i may have to move. i was FINE on my trip, very little trouble with my asthma comparably, but after one night of sleeping in my own home i woke up with a horrible headache, sinus-style, a tight chest, and fatigue. yuck. when i walked in my front door after a month of being away, i could smell must. yuck. problem is, i live in a relatively damp area, so it's a common issue around here. it's not humid really, just lots and lots of rain. it's not like LA or some places on the lakes in ontario, where it's by ocean and there's so much humidity, mold smells are all over the place, in public places, outdoors, etc. not just in badly build homes, lol. the dampness here is more ground moisture than air moisture i think.... anyways, it would never turn 32 degree weather into 42 on the humidex~!!!!!!! never, no way, i seriously doubt it.

anyways, so i may have to move my home. and what's my current dream? or dare i say vision? to 'homestead' in a kind of way. have a camper or a yurt on a little peice of land in the boonies. build me a little cordwood house, a little studio.... a 'carport/roof' type thing i can park the camper under, and have a 'deck' of sorts on the gravel under the roof ...... heck even a firepit, and/or storage for the firewood for my handy dandy high-efficiency [ie, non-polluting] woodstove...... i'd even be ok with an outhouse/sani-dump type set up, i pottied in outhouses and garage stations all the last month, some of them nasty as can be, and i tell ya, i survived. i need to keep my life small and simple. dramatically so, i think. i flourish in such an environment.... but in a home full of 'stuff'.... i suffocate. and not just spiritually/mentally, either, also literally: dust + mildew + asthma = suffocation. so hopefully "home" will one day have a bit more of an outdoorsy, camping/hippie/pioneer gal type feel to it.


but y'know, home is where the heart is.... and God is the only one in control of where my heart is!!!!!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
