Personal History (if you're in a hurry, you can skip this and proceed to "Welcome", below)
At first I needed to agonizingly spin my wheels in seeking political solutions by:
- Voting: I thought I'd choose which folks knew best how to eat out my neighbor's substance, or knew how to do it in a kinder, gentler way.
- Politicking: I am a recovering Libertarian who strove with a mighty striving to get "Patriots" elected so that they too, might exercise authority, one over the other.
- Elected office: I did a stint on City Council, so that I might change the method in which I covet my neighbor's goods (isn't it written: "He who covets least covets best"?)
- Commercial Remedies: You know, using unjust weights and measures to fight my frustration with unjust weights and measures. Why doesn't that work?
I began my journey toward Liberty in earnest with an examination of law. It started with the law of man. Statute law really. I think I was defending a traffic ticket. I was a recovering Catholic turned Atheist/Agnostic (never really did commit). As time and studies continued, I learned of this idea called "common law". In seeking its origins, I came across the Scriptures and realized they were the basis of that law. As my studies continued, I decided to read the whole thing (and a lot more so-called apocrypha to boot). As I read, I learned of the Covenant and promises of The Eternal and realized that His program (in the Perfect Law of Liberty) sounded a WHOLE LOT better than the binding agreements under which I had self-subjected that consumed my life and ate out my substance.
I began to follow The Law (as best I understood it at the time) but realized that there was much Scripture that I didn't understand. While I had (and have still) a burning passion to seek liberty and Follow the Laws of the Creator, some pieces were missing, inconsistent or just plain didn't "fit." The way I relate this to folks now is that if, as you read scripture, it sounds "hokey" or "goofy," (men speaking to stones, "killing" children on altars, being punished for tilling fields, uncovering and covering nakedness, strange BBQ rituals in the wilderness, being instructed to "hate" your family members &c.) then there's something you're not yet seeing. I came to realize that I had been deceived. I further realized that the deception had many roots, but the motive was unimportant. Whether through neglect, ignorance, "religious" tradition, poor translation, deliberate concealment/confusion (see IS 28:11 and MT 13:11), or outright wickedness, the end result is the same: scales over my eyes.
Once I realized that I could not do this alone, I have been blessed with many "descaling tools" including my Walk with The Eternal, my friendship/discussion with many through HHC, and my continued journey with my Wife:
Through all this, I know there is still something missing. A part of the journey yet to come...
Welcome...
to the living network! Email is nice, but let's face it, what we seek is the company of others, who strive to follow the perfect law of liberty! Now, imagine a community of fellowship in free assembly (a Congregation of Record) right here in Ohio. Together we can make this a reality.
My immediate family includes my wife Heather and our four children. We are currently living near Lake Erie in Lorain County. This is about 45 Minutes west of Downtown Cleveland. We are small scale subsistence farmers using "organic" methods to raise clean food (meats, veggies, fruit and eggs) in compliance with Our Father's Precepts. We like to see ourselves as "in-training" to farm in this manner on a larger scale so that we may share our clean food (and methodology) with others who also seek to nourish their families in His Word and Ways ;-)
I hope you will take the time to read through the WEALTH of information available on Kingdom principles, and to explore the community we currently have. When you are ready to take that next step, I hope you will consider allowing me to serve as your contact Minister. The first step is to follow this link.
