Wow, that means take down my own online vending attempts, well I made $10 in the past 6 years, guess I might as well take them down. I started boycotting Amazon (that is the company called Amazon) decades ago, I learned years ago that I could not trust anything advertised on Facebook, but I loved…

Occasionally someone tells me she admires how active I am at my age, and asks if I have a secret. Well I do but you may not want to hear it, because it’s don’t don’t don’t don’t. Of course with every don’t there’s a do. It’s not all self denial. In fact your…

I just completed these steps to the point of publishing an ePub on a site that specializes in dispensing electronic goods. To write the book, I used the docs app on my phone and a micro sd card. Docs prefers to keep its files on the Google drive, but I prefer the micro sd card…

When we overlook what we can do for our fellow travelers we are missing the whole point. Our faith is empty if we put concern for our own soul above the needs of another. (From a recovery day book) Someone posted that on a group I’m in and i realized i was wrong to be…

In my post yesterday, “My Solution,” I discussed one tiny piece of the puzzle of how to achieve spiritual fulfillment, and left out the most important part.
