I usually have only one opportunity a day to have a spiritual interaction with Daniella. When that time comes I haven’t been taking advantage of it because I think I’ll have another opportunity that day and I’ll be ready or feel prepared. From now on, I’m going to listen to the Spirit and see if [...]

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live….
Since [...]

Okay, it’s possible (and probable) that the Lord let him keep on his underwear, depending on which translation you read. The Lord also told him to be barefoot. Barefoot and naked…in Jerusalem where the paths [...]
