20 Years Completed, poised for Third Sabbath Year For those of you who know me personally, you may have heard me share lately my impression that things of 20 years ago were being RESTORED OR RETURNED this year.  It was loosely connected to the whole declaring Jubilee thing but actually came originally as part of a dream I had much earlier this year. In that dream of a house collapsing, I was calling people to come out of the house before it collapsed. In my daytime job, I work for a friend who first connected me to Mankato 21 years ago, although he no longer physically lives here, he will remain connected to Mankato.  Coincidentally, I am currently preparing to move out of that very house (the one in my dream and the one I lived in the first six weeks in Mankato.) And I am moving back into a home office, the same office I moved into at home, 20 yrs. ago, late in 1993.) At that particular time, I worked for Cellular 2000, and they announced that there was a shortage of ro...

On Dec 22 at the Lower Sioux Reservation in Morton, MN we have an opportunity to peel potatoes, boil water and in short to prepar...

During the Sioux war in the 1860s, he wrote letters to Washington D.C. warning the Federal Government of corruption among the Indian Agents and their staff. Mistreatment was documented as well as other things that went on during that season leading up to the conflict. Les was asked to play and sing a song he wrote God is Good.
