God and my Wife
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? Several months ago I asked for guidance in my life. The Holy Spirit gives me a clear impression that I should leave my traditional employment. I told my wife about my revelation and she agreed with it. The lesson I have learned is that when God and…

Cities
What cities do you want to visit? I like the city I’m in and don’t intend to travel unless my presence is specifically needed somewhere. If I had the right pretext I would like to see Portland Oregon again. I also would kind of like to visit Antonio Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Spain…

A Homeless Man’s Chorizo
My homeless friend is visiting this afternoon. He brought a package of chorizo and I’m sharing some tortillas with him. He has a strong spirit if a bit weird. He thinks it’s The Spirit. I’m not so sure. We talk and he talks about trying to cast out his ex-wife’s demons but he is convinced…
