[deleted] just phoned to let us know that they are on their way home with Baby Olivia.  The surgery included surgical repair of one large hole in the lower portion of her heart and one smaller hole defect in the upper heart and her pulmonary valve going to her lungs was only 2 mm when the docs began the surgery which they dilated to 8 mm (normal for her size being 8-10 mm).  As long as her pulmonic valve remains dilated, Olivia should not need any further surgery.

The docs have commented that Olivia’s recovery is the most rapid for any baby having such surgery.  Too, [deleted] said that this morning she is alert like they have never seen her before – Olivia is looking at the world through new eyes following her surgery – Amy said that she is just taking in the sites on the way home.  Such happy feeling today – thank you all, again, for your prayers.

We get to thank God for one more miracle in our lives and granting Olivia the opportunity to live a normal life.

Love and thanks,

Aunt/Mom

Dear Ones,

Thank-you,thank-you,thank-you,for all of the prayers that

you all said/sent to little Olivia Jane.

How happy all of us (praying folks) are,that we can share

in Baby Olivia’s joyous and record recovery!

Love & hugs

It IS G(O)OD!   PRAISE THE LORD and that LIKE-MINDED Prayer WORKS!  re

Dear RE,

It is hard to put into words….the heartfelt JOY that PRAYER

to DAD/MOM puts into your heart, and by extension into the

heart(s) of those who are prayed for.

Thank-you and GB

Remember ALWAYS….this was a JOINT “DOING”.  re

( :

Reminds me too of the MANY times I’ve gone to a Church….the Pastor doing a healing service.  All Deacons and All Elders, the Pastor and occasionally Assistant Pastor…..call for any sick to come forward.  Here they do in the proper church way…anointing the sick person with oil…then all pray.  NO HEALING!

The MANY TIMES I’ve then heard “Well, it must be God’s Will”   (Why don’t they ASK if it IS His Will FIRST!)  or   “YOU (patient) NEED to ACCEPT by FAITH.  YOUR FAITH IS LACKING!”

(IE: “YOUR FAULT”).

NOT ONE SINGLE TIME SEEING THAT IT IS THOSE PRAYING THAT ARE THE CAUSE OF DEFEAT!

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS TO DO THE OIL THING AND PRAY….”and the prayers of       A         (“A” = ONE)     RIGHTEOUS MAN WILL HEAL THEM !!!”

In short :  NOT a SINGLE ONE OF THE ELDERS / DEACONS / PASTORS   WERE   IN   RIGHT STANDING  BEFORE GOD!  Not ONE!!!

ALL so SIN BLOCKED that GOD would     NOT    DO THE HEALING!

I Cringe when I see this.  Wanna go up to the mike and REBUKE the TRUE CULPRITS!  (Not the Scriptural way tho).

Want so MUCH to take ‘em into a back room and CHEW BUTT!  Make THEM see it’s THEM!  To Blame NO ONE BUT THEMSELVES!…then get ‘em on their knees and EXPOSE their OWN FILTHY SINS BEFORE HIM!  And be SERIOUS about FORGIVENESS…then Get CLEANSED in Big Brother’s BLOOD…Get up, Go BACK TO THE CONGREGATION, TELL THESE WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE in the back room, APOLOGIZE TO ONE AND ALL….and RECALL the SICK.   THEN WATCH THE   G R E A T     HEALINGS     TAKE PLACE!

“Christians”!  UGH!!!     re

Tho our economy will rise….it will never be as it was.  Gas prices, closed manufacturing plants, Fuel delivery….and on and on….will be sharply curtailed.  ALL will cost almost more to buy to the point most can bear.

Transportation will be hardest on your pocketbook.

To those well out in the rural areas, they will be the hardest “hit” in this.  Just to get to work will be a $$ hassle.

ALL, rural or otherwise, will be thinking on the lines of LESS Fuel Means.  Motor Scooters to Bikes to simply walking or Public Transportation.

Bikes are ok…BUT are limited to Upkeep.  The greater the number of gear speeds, the more can go wrong.  A simple ONE Speed the BEST…”3 speeds” second best.  Less can go wrong.

But KNOW, they WILL go “wrong”.  Parts will SKYROCKET.  (No where NEAR as much as car parts, but they WILL begin RISING).

What would be a good INVESTMENT?  One YOU can use…AND SELL?

FOOT SCOOTERS!

Even if the brakes go out you can STILL use your FOOT to STOP!  (Try THAT on a BIKE!).

We have 3 foot scooters.  Two are the tiny wheeled FOLDING type.  GREAT ON HARD/FIRM SURFACES….Useless on “rough”.

My favorite is a REGULAR-tired one.  Won’t fold….Heavier…but DEPENDABLE in ALL CONDITIONS!

I can hand push my scooters up hills…even CARRY ‘EM (yup, all 3).

A wide strap for #3.

I CAN ‘DISAPPEAR’ (go FOOT alone) into the wilderness.  NO TIRE TRACKS to “give away”.

A can of STOP LEAK handles flats. (Yet to use it tho).

My #3 has a handle bar bag.  My back a bigger one.

I’ve put on Lighting.

Its a “GOING MACHINE”!

The cost well under $200.00 (with add-ons).

I intend to weld on a “U” bolt to hook a dog (team?) to…to let IT / THEM pull me.

HERE IS OUR FUTURE of the COMMON man.

If you’re looking for an INVESTMENT….get a few of these, NOW.  Then “specialize” and start taking one around town….showing (by example).

YOU can START a “SMART” BUSINESS!

Might not make alot of money (COULD tho) but can help you / family AND OTHERS seeking CHEAP TRANSPORTATION, out.

A “ground floor” business.  Aho?

Think about it.    re

To any searching for a SAFE AND CONSISTENT Career (or career change)…I’d look into NURSING.

At the very least: First Aid / EMT / EMT 11.  (There’s another beyond that but I can’t recall its name).

I’ve ran into A WHOLE LOT of “University” students that are majoring in BUSINESS MANAGMENT.  Most of these working at 7-11.

WHAT a LOUSY MAJOR!  So RARE to get a High Paying job in that field.  Nearly IMPOSSIBLE!!!

In today’s economy MANY tiny to HUGE Companies are SCRAMBLING to stay afloat.  (I personally know a few Owners / CEOs who are in “those shoes”.  VERY HIGH STRESS work.

MOST of the students that DO get their Degree Work…do / will get ONLY “Business Management” work…MANAGING THE 7-11s / Burger Kings / Etc.!  MAKING EQUAL to LESS that the CASHIERS they “manage”.  WORKING nearly DOUBLE their HOURS.  (So, in the long run; LESS, cause the Management Jobs are on a SET FEE!).

I’ve warned 3 who were about to take a Management Position.  NONE LISTENED.  ALL 3 QUIT at a year’s time…and told me “You were RIGHT!”

So, reader, NURSING will ALWAYS BE A NEEDED POSITION.  Even in the “days ahead”.

Art major?  JUST filling a HOBBIE!

News major (media)?  A scramble…AND CONTROLLED on what you say.  (You work FOR THE GOVERNMENT in THEIR AGENDA!).

Teacher?  Jobs there are available…for now.  ARE YOU “For” the “New Math” Etc.?  YOU WILL BE LOCKED INTO A “GOVT.” (controlled) JOB There TOO!

Postal Service work is purty “safe”…IF you can get in it.

But, basically…if you want to support a college education (your own or family member)….NURSING Wins HANDS DOWN!     re

Got a small donation today.  Not a lot BUT ENOUGH to get ANOTHER ROLL OF THE TAPE I PREFER!  10 ROLLS now!  (Had THOUGHT all I needed was THREE!).  Live and Learn.  ( :
Going to put “useless” (weather ripped / etc.) tarps on the dome today.  Will at least help SOME on covering “Pokey Through” Willow “nubbins”.
THEN MORE BLANKETS over them….THEN the heavy GOOD Hay Tarp.  Gotta wait on  the blankets (donations $$) before doing the big tarp though…so will be awhile.  Aho?
As of now, MANY DIFFERENT COLORS  are on.  Will get DECENT Cheap Shop (cheap) WHITE sheets and put these INSIDE…hiding all those various colors.  Aho?
Went “window shopping” and looked a various sized STACKABLE (and “lockable”) Plastic (see through) containers.  Ones that stack from Bottom BIG to progressively SMALL size.  These to be Sky’s Food Storage compartments “Kitchen” area.  RODENT PROOF.  Have a large Ice Cooler for perishables.  He’ll be all set when finished.
Looked at other things as well.  These are “add-ons” to the dome.  I don’t count them as Dome Building cost.  So, with tax…$60.00 will finish the “kitchen” area.
Got a number of free wood pieces yesterday.  All helpful in his dome And any others yet to be.  Always looking and always thinking ahead.  Just couldn’t over-look the FREE opportunity.  Aho?
Sure have a number of BUILD CHEAP li’l abodes in mind.  Show ALL the options THEY can do…on next to nothing.  Aho?
Saw a tall “bucket” too.  Not sure if it can accept the Porta Potty seat.  Would be wise to double up 2…stronger that way.  IF the seat fits right, I’ll get ’em.
So, THINKING ON THE INTERIOR now.  Might as well, need the blankets and sheets before the abode is ready to occupy on a consistent basis.  (CAN be used NOW, IF the boy(s) want to sleep on EARTH for a night).  Aho?
Ok, off to ‘DOING’.

In this morning’s TV News, they are talking of people having to turn “in” their family pets…due to “can’t afford to keep ‘em” (oil spill States).

I warned about this in my book.  Not foreseeing it happening NOW, but as a FUTURE event.

My wife has gone “nuts” over Chihuahuas.  Started with one.  Now 7 !   PLUS her Shelty.

Cute dogs…darn smart…entertaining.  But basically a useless (in FUTURE) animal breed.

Can SHE “let ‘em go”?  Doubt it.  Would tear her apart.  (ME TOO, darnit).

THINK ABOUT WHAT I’M SAYING HERE!

Why?  ALL PET OWNERS WILL BE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE ON TV THIS MORNING!

“You’re forgetting, re, they are GOOD PROTECTION!  WARN!” (Etc.).

Well, they Can WARN….AND GIVE YOU AWAY by their noise!

To “make it” you’ll NEED to Turn ‘Em Lose (Can YOU DO THAT?!)….Kill ‘em (can you do THAT?)….Eat ‘em to feed your KIDS (can you DO THAT?)…or, suffer, yourself.

THINK ON WHAT I’M WRITING HERE.

If things go on “as is”….you had BETTER think about it!

Worse yet…new human BABIES!    “Woe the woman who suckles”.  IE:  In THOSE (these?) DAYS….The Creator “HIMSELF” WARNS AGAINST PREGNANCIES and NEWBORNS!

PETS are NOTHING compared to your BABY!

To me, this TV News Show is a PRE-WARNING FOR US!

SOMETHING FOR US TO THINK ABOUT!

(PS; there ARE animals that can “handle themselves”….CATS / GOATS.  Might be others as well.  PEOPLE Need COMPANIONSHIP….but you must be WISE!  Aho?    re

To all:  I am really enjoying my “Gnome Home / Hobbit Hut” building.  Very relaxing to me  (despite little help).

To see something emerge from pure imagination to full reality is always….Awesome!

You don’t need to “build a house”…it can be Anything.  Write a book.  Learn to ride a horse.  Do a miniature of an invention idea.  ANYTHING.

“Ye are as gODS” the Good Book says.  What would THAT mean?   INVENTER!  Is but just one Major one.

As a LOVE Follower tho, be very careful of WHAT you ‘invent’.  A good idea Can BACKFIRE!

The MACHINE GUN was invented by a PASTOR…who thought less men would be needed to WAR, with this.  He WANTED to SAVE LIVES!  So what were the end results?  To defeat the enemy(s) the “Leaders” sent MORE MEN against these guns to OVERCOME ‘EM.   Killing THOUSANDS, instead of Less.

See what I mean?

The BEST INTENTIONS can go awry in OTHERS’ hands!   So, BE CAREFUL!

As a Medicine Man, there are many “doings” I’ve learned . “Doings” I DARE  NOT teach / share.  These would be used IN THE WRONG WAY by others. WONDERFUL “secrets”.  Secrets only the Creator “Himself” has / will pick out the RIGHT (hearted) people to have the knowledge of.  Folks “He” can TRUST.

Believe my on THIS statement :  “HE’S” VERY VERY SELECTIVE!

In time, more and more Will be able to know these things as well, too.

Still “down the road” though.

I’m writing this ‘INVENT’ piece to help you Fulfill the DREAMING(s) many have.  To have FUN.  To SEE what you thought could be done, CAN be done.  Aho?

LOOK AT MY DOMES as an example…..10 CENTS for one.  $350.00 for another…and my latest I estimate at Under $200.00!  All, LIVABLE SPACES.

I didn’t need $200,000.00 and UP  (AND the SWEAT of PAYMENTS or TAXES) to do this. Just a Dream it COULD be done, cheaply, given some thought.

So, turn yourself loose….TRY!   and maybe You TOO can “have fun”.   Aho?    re

Well, well past my bed time.  Adam (Co-owner of #2 dome) here.  We’ve been “exchanging energy”.  I have my abilities…Spiritual…others, theirs.  Adam has paid by fixing the sink’s plumbing / fixed our door frame (door was FALLING OUT!) / and giving a hand on #3 dome.  He had all the tools needed …. And HIS knowledge.

So, (to “friend” who advised I “get a JOB”); …told you I was DOING my job.  FAMILY NEEDS NOW TAKEN CARE OF.  GOD’S WAY, not “man’s”.

See what I mean?

TRUST IN GOD and all Will ALWAYS work out!

Or, go earn your $$ the hard way.  (Most DO do it that way).  Aho?

And “friend”, thanks for the opportunity to be able to share this. ( REALLY!  THANK YOU!)   GB!   Re

 

 

A sister replied:

Isn’t it sad that so many have forgotten this natural way of exchange??? Here some more people know to value that way. Mind you, amongst those who join that way, a sence of (personal)connection is growing, a sence which isn’t there among those who do on “money-exchange”.

True, since we are still in this money based society, we need some of it. But it’s just great to do without it where possible. Just wonderfull to see that “group”slowly growing here.

Hope the one you mentioned the E for, has got the core of your message……………

 

Red Elk answered her:

Hope so too, but DOUBT IT.

“L” used Scripture to test Jesus.  Jesus used Scripture to COUNTERATTACK him.

This is exactly what “friend” did.  “L” did it THROUGH him…I saw that and had to wait for “payday” (Adam).  Once that was so, was able to rebuke “friend” (“L” IN him) by SHAREING that MY TRUST was Viable.  Aho?

This “friend” truly meant well…but totally had / has NOT seen HE WAS BEING USED BY “L”!

Scripture can be a “2 edged sword”.  and you’d better be VERY CAREFULL on WHO you “try to ‘help'”….in my case, Big Brother IN me (NOT me).

There are so MANY just like “friend”.

“Get a JOB!”…..hummm, 68 yrs old.  One heart attack. Three strokes. Amputee. Diabetic. Who WOULD hire me!????

Like I said, I HAVE a job…my “Employer” is……GOD!

This poor guy (assume a guy), (and all like him) WILL lose their means of support (“man job”) in time.  “Christian” or not….THEY WILL BE “LOST”.  “Fall” like DOMINOES!

They have become complacent in their Man Jobs….(with IS of God)….to the point they feel ‘smug’ over their ‘abilities to ‘do’ for their personal families.  This is VERY DANGEROUS!  They are often SO “COMPLACENT” THAT THEY EVEN FAIL TO  P R A I S E  HIM that it (man job) is a DAY BY DAY GOD GIFT!

“He’ll” handle THAT,

“HE” IS CALLING “HIS” CHILDREN TO GET CLOSE(er) TO “HIM”!

I AM VERY THANKFUL for “friend’s” writing.  I am SO THANKFUL to “L” / sATAN for THIS CHANCE to TEACH to NOT have Anger / Etc., but to see what was / is TRULY taking place.  I am So GRATEFUL to “DAD” that I have learned to “see” what is going on…and TURN “L” / sATAN into (in at least This incident)  a DEFEATED ENEMY.  I am so ETERNALLY THANKFUL to our Big Brother JESUS THE LIVING CHRIST….for BEING  I N  ME to GROW / LEARN / COMBAT the everyday happenings of this we call “Life”.  I too am So THANKFUL to ALL God’s ANGELS who watch over me…and too, are here, AT MY “BECK AND CALL”….to provide any ANY extra “hand” needed.  REGARDLESS of what they need may be.

I have LEARNED that the CREATOR is AS REAL AS AM I!  MY “Dad”.

And, my sister, I thank YOU for your INSIGHTFUL Email,  that I can now use,  to Better TEACH.

CreaterGod BLESS!….your brother,  in HIM……re

If any are interested in building a “get away” cabin on similar lines to my domes, you can go to Google  SEARCH and type in:

BUILD A SURVIVAL CABIN ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET

This is a HUB….by GHOST32.

Scroll down (past his CABIN Picture).  SOME pictures of mine (#1) are there. Then begin reading the Comments.  MANY ADVICES ARE THERE.

“Ghost” and I have become good friends.  The interaction is very extensive.  He has nearly completed his own cabin MADE OF SAND BAGS.  FAR bigger then the 3 I’m doing.  Has taken him a full year…ALONE!        QUITE INTERESTING!   Building it where illegals cross his land.  Well within site of the Mexican Border in AZ.  It’s like a FORT!  AND extremely cool in their heat.

If you’d like to see more on mine, then go to:

RED ELK SPEAKS (The Tellings of a Medicine Man)

(aka previous posts on this blog.  Check tags ‘dome’, ‘dome home’, ‘tribal living’, ‘Skydome’ and categories ‘dome home’, ‘Hobbit Hut’, and ‘Gnome Home’. – WS)

This has a lot of pictures of #1 and #2.   #3 (SkyDome) pics may be up by the time you look.  Taken…just waiting to be put on by the taker. (past MY abilities!).   This is by far the largest.  More a “home” than a semi-to-temporary (as are #1 and #2). Still, a SMALL “cabin”.

#1 cost me $350.00 TO THE PENNY.  #2…TEN CENTS!  #3 will be UNDER $200.00.

These prices do not include “fancying up” inside (furnishing / etc.).

Each almost all from Found / Given / Collected material (the reason I could build so cheaply).

It’s just a matter of keeping your eyes open and thinking differently (“Out Side The Box”).

BUILDING MATERIALS are “Out There” for all, with these 2 things in mind.

I call these (others planned) because, as man progresses on the path they are on….YOU MAY BE LIVING IN ABODES LIKE THESE (Or your children).

I call this “The village of YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW”

YOU may never do as this, but YOU WILL KNOW IT CAN BE DONE.

Please take advantage of this knowledge.  SHARE IT.  PASS IT ON to friends / needy / homeless.

I “do” in the Old time-honored way of the ancient N.A. Elders ….. ALWAYS OTHERS FIRST

“Money have I none, but that that I DO have, I GIVE UNTO YOU”

I DO SO, FOR YOU!  Aho?    red elk

As I drive back and forth to the 2 towns we are in-between, my eyes are always looking…my mind always “rolling”.  LOOKING FOR FREE BUILDING MATERIAL.

I see differently than most.  See a field full of stone and “see” a Small Abodes Foundation…or Landscaping…even the Abode, ITSELF.

I watch tree trimming being done…”useless” trees being cut….even big thick branches either being placed in a pile to burn or cut into firewood.

I SEE A LOT OF WASTE!  Waste of PERFECTLY USABLE MATERIAL…but ONLY usable through OUT-SIDE-THE-BOX thinking.

This is not Only at this…I see our States Fish and Game management poisoning BIG ponds…to kill “trash fish”.  EDIBLE “trash” fish…hauled off to rot.  FOOD FOR THE ELDERLY….or recycled into FERTILIZER for someones small garden.

Waste    Waste    WASTE!

Friends, THINK “Outside The BOX”!  Take ADVANTAGE of these things.

Prices are ALWAYS rising.  Just to EAT is expensive.  But KNOWLEDGE is FREE!  Learn to supplement your foods with whats in your back yard…EDIBLE “useless” “weeds” / Etc.

Here our trailer house is not conducive to overnight guests….but now my DOMES EASILY handle them.  A DIME for ONE…$350.00 for another…and yet a 3RD now close to covering / use….for UNDER $200.00!

We no longer need to be apologetic over our home clutter…simply send visitors to experience a private dome.  THEY LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY!  (Primitive as this ‘way’ is).

YOU CAN’T BUILD AN EXTENDED House Room at even the COMBINED “3 dome” PRICE!  And MINE are ALL Code free…ALL no extra TAXES.  AND MOSTLY from FREE Materials!

I do this by keeping my eyes open and THINKING “OUTSIDE THE BOX”!  re

My comment on the use of a Circle for sleep / meditation has caused 3 returns.  All 3 wanting to try it but an impossibility in their bedrooms.  This IS a problem.

Ever consider WHY so many NA make a “circled” abode (others, world wide, too)?

IT KEEPS THE BODY “IN TUNE” WITH ALL CREATION!

Our Great Turtle (Mother Earth) and all planets CIRCLE the sun.

It STARTS there.

Many Nature Beings build on that ‘line’.  Birds / Squirrels / Beavers….even schools of many fish swim in vast circling ways.  Many Herds stand against their enemies in a  circle.

We NA observed this and paid attention.

You are not aware that the Pyramids were CIRCLE Set.  Their 4 corners TOUCHED the EDGE of A CIRCLE!

TiPis / Domes / Hogans are Circle “based”.

Why has the “civilized” world gone Square?!

I THINK, for better FURNITURE PLACEMENT!

Circles allow Earth’s wind flows to be less disrupted.  Not so SQUARES!  Squares FIGHT the wind. “STAND AGAINST them….and get KNOCKED DOWN!”  NATURE FIGHTS BACK, in a sense.

To me, square buildings are an offense…AND an ARROGANCE, toward the Creator.  “He” set the circle way up…and MAN STANDS AGAINST “Him”!

If you will note,  The NA Nations that “lived Square” were often the more WAR-LIKE.

Lots to consider, that most never EVEN THINK OF.

Some NA built along the line of a COCKROACH body shape.  Rather low…Round ends, Sloped Walls.

Science says the cockroach has not changed its shape in “ages”…AND say THEY will be the Survivors of nuclear holocausts, as well.

Yes, LOTS to consider.

OK, Can’t “circle” your bed?   THEN CIRCLE YOUR HOUSE!  Even if a COCKROACH “Circle”.  Use PLANTS to “draw your circle”.  Re-design your LANDSCAPE to protect / energize the WHOLE HOUSE!

Then, your Square is IN a CIRCLE!

Just as are the pyramids.       re
