Want to know one good reason to come to Alaska? It’s “WOW” effect… long story short, I was a 10 year old growing up in Fla and did a book report on Alaska. I was awed at what I learned and for the next 34 years I dreamed of one day coming to Alaska. Having lived in many states during my travels, I finally made a visit in 1998. Had a lodge do a package of fishing and lodging for 8 days. When I returned to Texas,I knew I was destined to be in Alaska. It took me all of a year to make the move to Alaska. I have been here since 2000 and am working for a fly out fishing company that I did a trip with when I was a visitor. This fly out fishing in a float plane was the highlight of my trip. So, it comes very easy to me to explain how coming to Alaska is one of the most memorable trips you may ever experience. The bears and moose up close and personal as well as the beautiful mountains and glaciers and fields of fireweed along the highways. No billboards at all to clutter your vision on a s ...
Thanks. Paul Twitchell had such a deep spiritual life, it is hard for anyone to understand it, but what you say has the ring of truth to me. I suspect, but only suspect, that he wrote the first manuscript with other Masters in it and travels with them but got a bad response to it from Kirpal Singh and others so he switched to his experiences with the Eckankar Masters just by changing names. In other words he went to the same places with many Masters and so just changed names. I really don’t know. I suppose one could say I am trying to give Paul the benefit of the doubt and that is probably true. It is hard not to when you have had a few experiences in Eckankar and you have talked to others who have had many great experiences as outlined in the Eckankar book “Earth to God, Come In Please”. But I have to understand how unbelievable it all sounds to outsiders. Having left Eckankar because I don’t fit in as a good teacher, I am beginning to sense the strangeness of it all again but ima ...
Dear Ugandan friends, Please send our love and peyrars to all the family and the whole flock who are suffering the double blow of the deaths of Bishop patrick and Mama Petua. Rodney did his teacher training at Makerere University School of Education in 1966-7 befoe teaching for more than four years at St Thomas More’s College, Bukoba, Tanzania which then became Ihungo Secondary School. His first African friend at Kampal was a doctor in training from Malago Hospital who was himself tragically killed in 1970 in a motor-cycling accident on the round-about just below the university. Alas he does not recall his name after 40 years, but he remembers that he was from Sout-West Uganda and his father was a catechist. Please will everyone be extra careful on Uganda’s roads. We are in God’s hands, yes, but He gives us brains and judgement and we have a duty of care to exercise on behalf of our families and fellow road-users. Life is so precious, as is the love and friendship we are receiving a ...
