Back after Three Years
3:46 AM
TUESDAY OF THE FIFTH WEEK OF LENT

It has been about three years and one month since my last post. Much has happened. My health has deteriorated. I was in the hospital in 2005 and twice in 2007. My mother miraculously woke up from a vegetative state in which the doctors said there was no hope, my father's health is deteriorating, my aunt died, and I moved back to Iowa to my home town of Ottumwa to setup St. Michael Hermitage on a property that we own. It is a small bungalow, but the property is large enough to build on to the house and to build a shrine in the back yard.

The move has been very taxing on me. The move was in November and I am still not fully recovered. That is the lot of my chronic illness. I am still not unpacked.

In my life I have moved some 87 times or more -- I have lost count. I have told people that this move to Ottumwa and to a house we own in the clear (no mortgage) is my last move. I will not move again until the move to the cemetary. I am retired from moving. Only God could call me out of here to go elsewhere.

The Internet Ministry was dormat for two years, but is now flourishing. The Deliverance Ministry is busy to the point that we are having to place people who need help on a waiting list sometimes and we have more applications for people wanting to join our Deliverance Counselor Training Program. Things are on the move, God is blessing us and all things are done for His glory.

Hopefully, with such a full plate that I have I can keep up a few entries in this blog. I have a sign that says, "God gives each person a certain number of things to do in their lifetime before they die. I am so far behind that I will never die."

Your miserable servant,
Brother Bubba
