Dear Mephibosheth,

Thank you for the advice about e-cards, the internet, growing your own food,
and a homestead. I am praying the things I learned that the Lord would bless
them and allow me to do them. The principles are so simple, so wonderful.
The idea of having chickens and eggs and milk fascinates me. The very idea
is refreshingly wholesome. Honey also comes to mind. How did John the
Baptist get his honey?

I have read the School in Session poem several times now. It has been very
enlightening for me. I have begun a little notes collection where I print
off my thinking and research and scriptures into various subjects. I love
this. The Lord opens up a matter— and there is a conclusion to it as well.
Things that we learn from Him are given to us in bits, units that have a
clear beginning and end. Then they stack together. It’s wonderful,
refreshing. It is not the “much study” we find in Ecclesiastes when the Lord
leads it! Keep up the good work with the BiblicalScholarship.net website. I
eagerly await reading whatever else you put online.

The fast I took yesterday quickened my spirit, so that by the end of the
day, I was receicing so much clarity in my spirit that I didn’t want to eat.
I haven’t been the same since. Yesterday I was learning the power we have in
the Spirit over the the flesh and its enticements, how to hold fast. Today,
I have been learning boldness. The scriptures are coursing through my mind
and being like running waters now. I don’t care about offending people, I
speak the scriptures and let it speak for itself.

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

I am going in the direction of learning to be a mighty man of valour. This
was what I was created to be. It is interesting how being a mighty man of
valour begins with complete weakness to self— letting Christ take over and
rule. 

I want to grow a plant, especially something that bears fruit, like the
tomato plant you suggested. Where is a good place to get good seed? I have
read that many commercially-available seed packets have been genetically
modified so they do not continue to bear seed.

Thank you for your prayers and help for me. I am very grateful for your
work. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you and your daughter, and
magnifies His name through you more and more and more. Let His light shine
through you piercing and bright, withheld by no darkness whatsoever. We are
so thankful to Jesus! We praise His holy name forever and ever.

Your friend,
Young Man
