In the first garden, Adam was given work to do, with many responsibilities. <br /><br />Your blogs are inspiring and helpful. I have read just about every post on your other blog, Livin' the Dream and finally decided to follow you over here. Thank you for sharing your off-grid life with us, along with your spiritual insights. May the Lord continue to bless and direct you ~smile~.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
