Conversations with my adopted children

 We hope we're not starting too many #threds too early, but we've been mulling this for some time. To protect our children, we will publish no traceable facts. We'll see this experiment goes.

To Islander: Wow! We're impressed! 1.You love the Living and Written Word. 2.You love music. 3.God has shone great favor on your life that has attracted many followers. We enjoy these things also but now we're adding a new mission: He, Jesus, must increase. we must decrease. If any man would follow hard after Jesus, he must deny himself, take up his own cross, and push hard on the footsteps of Jesus. We suspect you feel the same. We will pursue this goal together.

From CALpm: Now I will feed the children good food. And give them clothes. Because you are by my side. I believe the kids will be fine from now on. Because you are on their side.

To SB: the direction we're going gives us great joy. the paradox is the slower we move, the greater our strength and clarity, and the stronger our bonds are with men and God. Let patience have her perfect work... the book of James.

I knew i stumbled upon a gem when we met. Was God our matchmaker? Maybe. More later.

I'll come back to this and fill in details. Stay TUNED? #maddog

Whoa.

My understanding is expanding so rapidly I feel like this guy in #TheMatrix Whoa. Is it #coffee? #God BOTH?? #maddog

What's up with that?

 

I'm thinking of changing, very slowly, my basic wardrobe color from black to white. The black color started when I was working on the towers, 14 foot high ovens, set at 800ish degrees, that ran 16 strands of fiberglass thread and one strand of kevlar thread through a tub of  black liquified carbon in 8 or so passes CONTINUOUSLY to make ignition wire for cars. The liquified carbon splashes everywhere, me, my clothes, my shoes, so very early in my being asked to fill in temporarily, for 15 years, I switched to shorts, muscle T shirts, cotten, and black. I became The Man in Black, like Johnny Cash or Hewey Lewis or The Blues Brothers. After I retired I still keptsh the black and purschased a huge walking stick. I became Mad Dog the Black. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!! When I switch to white I'll become Mad Dog the White, protector of Hobbitts.

Tai chi: Slower. Stronger.

To ALL my friends:

Tai chi is an art of slow martial arts practice. Moving slowly, like piano practice or Tai chi movements actually strengthens the body, very good for my ancient body. Similarly the devil resisting his children actually strengthens them. I strongly suspect the devil trying to slow down our mutual project of building internet bridges of love will only strengthen our bond. A 3 fold chord is not easily broken. #maddogandqueenmary

Lynne Dittmer, my first wife.

Reflecting back. Courage. Love. Beauty. Always unforgettable.

I erred when I did not explain this more. This is a photo of my first wife. We were married in 1968. She passed away in 2008. When I remarried in 2010, my 2nd wife Mary was the picture of health, but in 2014 she had a prolonged hospital stay and started showing signs of advanced Alzheimer's dementia. I suspect that the devil has beset my family even as far back as my father, who had childhood polio. Every relative named William Michael has died, my father, my son, my grandson, and we almost lost our youngest daughter in a near fatal crash. Her mother heard the sirens and immediately went to intercede on her behalf, and Wendy has fully recovered. But God's grace is greater than Satan's afflictions, and I feel honored that both women chose me, for they were, are, and forever will be shining stars. I appreciate your prayers for my family and Mary's family also. There is no need to apologize.
