How's He Living Out There?




How's he living out there...?




Sitting here watching the setting sun, I notice a man net fishing from the shore.





But then from what vantage point am I watching these engrossing moments of natural splendor?




Please allow me to give you a bit of a tour of my mobile habitat: 


His name is Blessing

He's a rough and tough go-getter; just like his Daddy



How is he sleeping in there?






A bit lived-in looking, but hey...It's where I live!

(Btw..This is not my sleeping configuration..."stick around, you just might get to find out what that looks like")




My home is where the love of the Lord finds me.



But how is he feeding himself?




Costco...duhh.. like everyone else who's off the grid.




I look forward to sharing a lot more about how I am maintaining and enriching my quality of life as I walk down this path less traveled. 



I send all of my Love to my Lord and to My Savior Jesus Christ, He blesses me without ceasing, and I give him all of my praise and gratitude! 

His breath is the air in my lungs!!!

Feeding a need... Symbiotically


There's a wonderful cat gathering between Kings Cathedral and Home Depot, here in Kahului, HI. A couple of these bush-cats have become accustomed to me... let me show you:

Post feeding ....


Walking the high wire for her meal

Two of my more elusive fellas

He's gone from ice cold to... tepid.

Synchronized "yes pleeeze"

L-R: Ryan, Orangie, not named

What a joy they are; everyday they run to greet me. I provide a bit of nourishment for their kitty bellies, and in return they give me a bit of amiable fuzzy friendship. 

I've thought often of my unyielding enjoyment and admiration for all things feline and Cat-tastic. I've then thought of how there's really nothing cats could do that would make me turn my back on an at-risk stray.

Then I start to think "GlObally"


I've often been curious as to how God could really love me, or anyone for that matter, unconditionally. I then really started to consider things in my life which I can say I love without ceasing and without fail...  



Cats
That's how much my Lord and Savior loves me.

Thank you for loving me Lord!

Trouble with Technology...and words

I've noticed that the ability for readers to leave comments on my separate entries has been acting quite squirrelly. I'm so sorry for that.....
 On a more entertaining note...did you know that the word squirrel was used to detect German spies during WW2. The word was found to be, for all practical purposes, impossible for an implanted German agent to say without unavoidably betraying their elaborate subterfuge....
It makes me laugh to imagine a real point in the past, that would have found men of the highest military caliber engaged in a heated stand off with a supposed embedded agent of the German state; beads of sweat rolling down the face of this alleged German spie as he musters all of his will and linguistic ability to wrap his tongue around that grouping of damnable English letters"..._quirre_"...
"..squ.. Square .. Damn it..sqoor...aghhh."
"One more chance please.. I'm a Yankee doodle..I promise.."
"Sqoare... .....shizer I haive feeled mien furhier..."

..hahahaha..
Then we'd send him for waterboarding tickle treatment!!

I'm sorry about the comments section acting so squirrelly. I'm very sorry if you sat through this posting..


The Lord told me Good Morning; and I send him all all my praise for all of my days... I'm too blessed to be stressed, and too bad to be good.. praise God for his unconditional Mercy!!!

17Jan2019

I mentioned previously about my scuddling about. I'm hoping to be much more mobile in the coming days and weeks. The issues at hand, which have debilitated my mobility, are a series of injuries I sustained between 29Dec2018 and 10Jan2019.


Restraint wounds post short term jail stay (2days/1night). Location: Maui Police Department's, city of Wailuku, isolation/padded  holding cell for duration of stay. 
Infected foot x7 days- secondary to beach sand in small wound

I'd like to share my before and after care pictures in memoriam of my struggles, and in an effort to empower myself past this life obstacle via the power of letting go and letting God.





Photos are graphic: 







Restraint wounds before:




Restraint wounds healing (right foot swelling..yeeesh):

Right foot infection gets AnGrY!:

Doctor do you concur?:

Right foot post 2x courses IV clindamycin, and 2 separate oral courses take home (clindamycin and cephalexin):

I was worried and I went back to the ER, 14Jan2019:[

Is better... The infection was entrenched deep in my red meat... Never a good thing when it's in your red meat!
Current status:



And getting better by the second!
The lessons I've learned through my current difficulties have been those that are of unparalleled value, which have strengthened my resolve and infused my soul with light and hope! I have felt the loving hands of the Lord reach out through the kindness of strangers, and I've felt the gentle embrace of the angels when sadness and self pity intrude themselves into the moments of my day.
Pray for me and I'll be praying for y'all ..

16Jan2019

I scuddled about today methodically lining up the hoops of passport renewal in anticipation and hopes of making a clean jump through em all to lands far and wide.

I first completed my online, printable, application. Easy enough for a slick millennial like me. Too easy......

uhhh   

What's next?


Yes...my photo to be taken at Costco. Okay I'll go in, one shot one kill this picture stuff... I'm not vain; take two was much better though. 

Off to the post office I now sceadadled. Last items on the list: money order, envelope, and postage. Each item being essential to it's relevant phase of the mission. 

Phase 1- Money order, application, and old passport

Phase 2- Address envelope; fill with contents and seal.

Phase 3- Gather all of my sunshine, and my quarters, and head to the post office to mail my soul to Philadelphia. ..oh... My soul plus $140... They got it all from me.


Done with that I head to wash my laundry, and daydream of plush topical jungles full of plush tropical spiders....

Sunshine

The light of energy, the warmth of light, both are born from the same oscillating particle...or waveform...or particle...or...




Light is ultimately illusory in that it doesn't come from outside of us. Instead the light of our world is generated inside of our brains which have never seen the sun. 
But the warmth of the sun comes from outside on my skin so that's nice..strange, but nice.
maybe light was designed to be able to shoot into our brains, and also land on our skin.
God sure is clever.
John 8:12 
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life

To me that means that forever and ever the light of salvation fills my mind, and warms my body, like a fresh load of laundry out of the dryer...
I love you Lord

Cats of the Maui Humane Society, and the larger picture

I often go to the animal shelter here on the island of Maui. About four times a week I find myself  perusing and petting the latest additions to the fold (?group of cats). It gives me a bit of recharge to my system, and brings me back down to the ground. 

I do know that Jesus himself directed his brothers and sisters to go into the dark places where true Christians are deeply in need of a redirect.... They love Jesus and our holy father; but this world has a fasthold on them. These Christians, God has a special love for, "the least of these" he has called them. 

A mo bettah take on this topic.


Now to the kitties ..

Many more to follow...

Have a thoughtful day, for our brothers and sisters in Christ need my help, your help, the help of every Christian to feel the support necessary to fight against this world of  flesh, bone, and brain....


 Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to the world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing ye may discern what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable, and perfect
