Life and missions

It is a good feeling to have when one accomplishes a mission. This morning I saw the fruits of my labor as I looked at the Installation of drupal on a linux ubuntu and xammp stack. It is so awesome to have that feeling. There was another part to this project that hasn't happened yet , but it will happen. The Midnight Mission now has it's have it's library data base on GNU licensed software so no one has to worry about software infringement. And the stack is on it's own semi- server so it doesn't have to be connected to the Midnight Mission's IT network. The Library will have it's own network eventually , but for now the most important thing is to have a database where books can easily be entered and kept track of and as a result easily put back on the shelves.


I am looking forward to the best part of the project and I can't reveal what that is yet. But I can say it will be a surprise to the open source community. I love doing this and I am so glad that I can do this.

I was just thinking that, in a way, when we do what is right , even if it is not in our best interest to do so the universe blesses us with things we thought never possible. I see now that the Gastric Bypass surgery I had looks to be a part of that blessing. The diabetes is in remission and I still am tired a lot from my other illness , but at least I don't get the double whammy of the neuropathy also coming from the diabetes. But the weather change reminds me that the demyelinating neuropathy deficits are still present with me and the pain and stiffness is still with me. But I see light instead of darkness. Success at this one project has made me happier then I ever thought and the fact that Ronnie Teasedale traded a fully functional computer tower for SEO advice and I used that tower for this project . Sometimes many of us look at those who are less fortunate as not needing the best , but my experiences in the Midnight Mission Library tell me that to make it difficult for people to look for the books because of the perception they are not worthy due to poverty or situation in life , does not make the Universe happy , nor does it help them get out of the situation they find themselves in. I haven't opened the library fully yet , but the time I was in there putting it back together because of it's use as an office for a wonderful organization , which has now moved on , folks were coming in looking for books in basic math , business , and other things that would help them improve their skills. SO it is important to make sure that the genres are placed where they need to be in categories , but as general as possible to make it easier to put them in their categorical location.

It is an experience. Life is just like that. But the universe, has it.s own agenda and we must be tuned to it in order to flow. That doesn't mean we don't have free will and the freedom to choose. We do. And I will always beleive that. The choices are ours.

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
