Hi Boyd & fellow nude friends! Thanks to those who had been praying for us...I think that things are much calmer now after going thru' some very rough seas.
Yesterday this poem came to me...I thought I'd share it...Hope you like it.
How well the vain imaginings of man, kept me from this moment.
How well they camoflaged the joy of created life!
Hidden behind a facade of religion
Disguised by un-truth, but now revealed!
In my heart was a reality, in my mind lay a truth..
Dormantly, hidden by man's opinion of man
But gloriously revealed in my humanity,
So wonderfully created by Him.
Ah, but so is the wonder of the Holy Spirit,
So is the joy of the power of His presence,
Guided by His love, and His precious Word,
One wonderful day I stood naked before Him.
Not naked in spirit or soul,
not in attitude nor mind,
but naked in body, surrounded by His creation,
I stood, with the gentle breeze of His creation all over my naked body.
My spirit soared, my mind was free
No pretence now as He stood with me,
The joy of His life flooded my soul
As I danced before Him as David did so long ago.
Now I know, what was hidden before,
A great revelation, a life changer and more
This is how He intended me to be,
Naked not ashamed and wonderfully free!
We are so glad to hear you are doing better and finding new freedoms in life you never before thought of.
I also pray and hope your wife and kids are right along beside you with your newfound freedom. Last summer, you were enjoying the freedoms but was also enjoying the idea of being in a new place with new friends.
But now you are enjoying God even more and I feel your relationship with God our father and our Lord Jesus the Christ and King is stronger and far more real.
May God continue to bless you and may you dance like David more and more.
Hi Boyd,
Thanks for the ever warm welcome back! It's great to know that when we met back in June, a relationship started that is becoming evermore precious! Thanks Pal.
My love to all of you that I've met in the flesh and those I "know" through this site!
It's a breath of fresh air to read your poem and your prose. I have fond memories of those days in Virginia as we all shared Christian fellowship around the campfire. Hearing from you again reminds me that this planet is not such a big place in God's eyes. I hope that some spring tide will bring you and all your loved ones to our shores again soon. I would love to meet all of them someday.
Even here in sunny Georgia we are feeling winter's chill. There was a touch of frost on my car last night. But the sun was bright and it got to the low 60's today. I must keep my promise to myself to build a little hothouse to overwinter the flowers. It takes a little electricity to knock off the chill, but then again it would save me from buying so much next spring.
Of late I feel like a giant caterpillar, naked under my nightly cocoon of blankets and quilts, but after a few minutes, things warm up for me and I can sleep au naturel throughout much of the winter.
Well pardon these rambling thoughts. Please continue to post your prayers and praise here as time permits. You have many friends who rejoice to hear from you.
We may not have a formal program next summer, but we have talked amongst ourselves and agreed that simply gathering on some mutually agreed future date would be a wonderful idea.
