    This is the first of a series of responses to questions given to us by neighbors of our facility in Gresham. This is the same question that many ask of immigrants or of people of other races. In the end, we want all people to recognize our values and mores...

    / July 24, 2012 /
    Being a Celt we believe in the Times between Times. It is a dimension that occurs between the time of awaking from sleep and the time of being fully conscious in this caporial realm. This morning I had a Time between Times experience where this person clad in and earth...

    This is David. He was on the street for years but is now in his own housing and is doing well. He came back to say thank you and to bring a donation of clothing to those who have greater needs than he. This is what he said: “I was...

    Posted by jeff strong
    / July 16, 2012 /
    Jesus once said: In the witness of two or three a thing is established.   So today I was coming home from the bank having cashed a small check. I was traveling down 92nd avenue and was approaching the Light on Holgate where I spotted this young girl under this...

    For me, in the beginning independence was the ability to do what ever I pleased when ever I wanted. Then I turned two and my parents started redefining my world and my independence.

    It is time to proclaim to my people and to give them a message from God. “Don’t speak quietly, but use megaphones and large speakers! Inform My people of their wrongs, for it is time for them to repent! “Everyday I listen to them and they pray to me, as...
