Comfortably Homeless

Comfortably Homeless

I would have used "Stranger in a Strange Land" but that has been used.

I have procrastinated on it long enough. But I did not want to write it as a "long sad story", because it really is not..Some of it is Depression that I have struggled with all my life.  Some lessons from God,, and blessing along the way... and some life in this bent world.

I have been looking for a home of my own since I left home as a teen. but it seems that is not in His plans.
He has made it clear to me that this world is not my Home.

I completed my Parole in Key West,, and was a "respected" member of the community.. and sold my Home,, after repeated Hurricanes drove my Wife mad.

By the blessing of God I owned a half million dollar home,, And Honey wanted to see winter again, the house sold quickly for 450k,,and there was a home in Michigan...
I could be near my Mom to help her out,,, and I had no record in Michigan,
Seemed right.. The road trip was an ordeal,, Rented truck had trouble and breakdowns,,, and upon arriving at the driveway of My New Home, we were assaulted by police,,, wanted to inspect my lawnmower clippings and arrested my stepson,, on a bogus and worthless warrant from Oregon.
Kind of put a damper on that Christmas,, and a sorry welcome to home.
Should have been a clue.

That I believe is where the "Book of Job" was opened.. though it was a bit later that I sat down and read it again,, and again  ,,

and for the next several years until I learned what He wanted me to see.
And I look forward to conversation with Job in the future.

I had posted some in the past,,but it got to where there  seemed more bad than good to post about,, and I didn't want make "poor pitiful me" posts. So I procrastinated.. Hence, the gaps in the story.

One of the things I do is put blame where it belongs.. What was meant for evil, God has turned to good.  and God does not cause evil.. That is the Beast. God used it to teach,, To answer a long asked question,,and to show His ability to take care of me still and in every situation.
It has only increased my Faith and my understanding.

So,,The House was sold,,
And I will come back to some lessons learned.. My Battle with Depression,  The troubles of women,, (Ha),, etc.

 and we are out west..

and I am "homeless", but I am comfortable with it.
