Stuck...

I am feeling very stuck.... because my life is such a dead end...no job, no car, no freedom of the open road.... at least I still have my bike "Meg".


Peace within, peace without....where has the peace flown to?
The journey's long, the journey's long....I can't make it without You.
Tears of joy, tears of pain....tis time to walk the way.

A cane?

Ok...the good news is this....my speech is back to normal.  LOL.   Praise God for that.   The bad news....I am still having to use my nice cane to walk with do to pain and stiffness....but the fun thing is....most people just write it off as part of the whole subculture thing....and don't think about me being ill.   Only a few people know enough to worry when they see it.   ^_^   Yes, I like it that way....better than answering 100's of questions that the doctors wont even give ME then answers too.

Illness Hits Again...

Hey, I had a "spell" with my immune disregulation last night....and now today my speech is bad....like I can think of what to say....just getting it out is slow and labored.....I hate this affecting my muscles and joints.      Please pray that my speech turns normal by Christmas vacation.

College... ISOM

I am going to be visiting the college this sunday, if it does not snow us (mom, dad, and me) out.   We'll be turning in John and my applications.

Changes

A lot has changed....and yet much is the same.  If all goes as planned I will be going to the Newton Bible School starting in January.   For this I am excited.

God and I are growing closer....and I praise Him for that.  I am more at peace than in a LONG, long time.  ^_^

I still long for the open road, but I am learning to be continent while I wait. What journeys does He have in store for me?

Of Tribes and Cultures...

Culture, people groups, tribes, what are they really? What is it that makes one group into a culture/tribe and another just a subculture? Is it the fact that the world has its mind set on one way of doing things, and was not prepared for cultures/tribes to go global on them?

The definitions of Tribe, Culture, and Subculture are as follow:

Subculture: an identifiably separate social group within a larger culture, especially one regarded as existing outside mainstream society.

Culture: A. art, music, literature, and related intellectual activities, B. the beliefs, customs, practices, and social behavior of a particular people, C. a group of people whose shared beliefs or practices identify the particular place, class, or time to which they belong.

Tribe: A. a society or division of a society whose members have ancestry, customs, beliefs, or leadership in common, B. a large family (unofficial) , C. a group of people who have things in common such as an occupation, religion, social background, or political viewpoint.

With all that, I see they are much the same... yet uniquely different.  I wish I could travel more, and maybe even live among the Dine in my beloved Dine Bikeyah... if only my heath would a low it...
