With Dusty 
From our guest writer this month, Kim Whitaker: “Ask and you shall receive,” I have heard and read so that is what I did. Believing in a Heavenly Creator who is kind and compassionate and is actually the One who is in charge. I ask Her out of knowing ‘Industrial Humanity’ has become a disease to the planet possibly a fatal one. I asked Her in Her beloved Son’s name Jesus Christ. Me feeling like and knowing I am a part of the disease called ‘Industrial Humanity’ I ask, “How Can I NOT feel like part of the disease by not being a part of it?” It is a burning issue for me NOT to be part of killing a planet! I put myself through some agonizing over this for a couple of weeks and the answer came to me today. There are not words that can describe how much I DON’T want to be this part of this humanity mindlessly, heartlessly killing our planet. Before I say the answer I want to say, I keep my prayers private most of the time, for me praying and my personal relationship with our Creator is a private one. I rarely share answers I get for my deepest and most important prayers. However, with this answer I got, I feel is a good one, really good advice, simple and sweet but also carries weight and authority. For those of you with your ears on, here goes. Trumpets playing, du, du, da, du. A voice says to the ear of my Heart “Kim, the answer to your burning question for Creator.” First off, you would have had your answer sooner but you were agonizing too much. The question, “What you should do to NOT feel like a part of the disease called ‘Industrial Humanity,’ which indeed it is.” The answer, “Give more ~ Complain Less ~ Do not feel sorry for yourself – Give More ~ Most important, believe with all your heart and soul and strength that yes, there is a Universal Creator who is benevolent and compassionate and who is the One who is really in charge and things are not really as bad as they seem ~ last and yet still very important, is learning to do with and live with less. Towards the perfection of love harmony and beauty ~ In Jesus Christ name let it be so ~ p.s. hope this is good for you ~ kim
Dusty’s Sharing – What is Truth? My Christian roots remain strong as they support my journey through life. Like a tree, I seek Christ's light while receiving nourishment from my roots. I believe symbolism is infinite and each person sees his or her beliefs in a different light, even if they sit in the same pew at church. Faith and belief are a far expansion of church walls, although some religious groups attempt to have us believe differently. I agree with my husband when he says, in his view, that both Christian and other religions will accept you "into the fold," regardless of what you believe, but still with the intent of converting you to their belief system. This is not a discussion of my views of the church. It is my study of where I am from the guidance and nurturing of those who encouraged my freedom to explore. If we could come together with a universal philosophy for all religions that would allow and encourage individuals to follow their personal relationship with the Lord, we would have many occasions for expansion through openly sharing with one another without becoming defensive or having concern for stepping on their toes. I hear this philosophy of a universal belief in writing by others on the internet. I don't know how or if it is actually practiced by others but it appears to be gaining strength as a preferred philosophy. Once the non-judgment is reached, including influences of philosophical, political and religious backgrounds, we can share our interpretations and sense more of the Allness God provides. This I believe! Will I believe this tomorrow, next week, or next year? I cannot say in this moment. Expansion sometimes includes eliminating some areas of investigation that prove to be other than my truth. These are only shadows that disappear as I follow the Light. My Light is the Spirit, or Energy, of God. There is an old truism, "The truth shall set you free." The contrast to that is also true, "A lie will make you a slave." Even if we do not know we are lying, we still become a slave to the beliefs that the lie creates. So it is important to look at facts, learn the truth, and then speak and act accordingly. "What is truth? Religion claims to know the answer. Philosophy would solve the problem. Science works untiringly over its interpretation. The explanations often clash. We surmise and believe many errors, but Truth remains always the same. Man changes, Truth does not. As man realizes and accepts it he learns to understand all the qualities and attributes of Christ as changeless and eternal, 'the same yesterday and today, yea and for ever'" - Hebrews 13:8. I can reject or accept what is Truth but regardless of what I believe, Truth never changes. I believe I am coming closer to knowing Truth as I travel my path. I have had many Y's in the road and I continually ask for guidance in choosing the one that leads me to my Good. The Laws of Nature are not necessarily Truth. These have been defined by humanity and have resulted in erroneous conclusions. God is Truth, but what is God? Energy? A personality? I have been taught that Jesus came as the Personality of God. How can I know in my now that the only Truth is God? Is it necessary to know? There is no way to know beyond any shadow of doubt except through faith. I live by faith in many things, all a part of my concept of our Creator's omniscience. I have faith that the chair I am sitting on will continue to hold my body in a comfortable position, faith that we are raising our son in a healthy way, faith that I will still have my job tomorrow, faith that the sun will "rise" each morning. These are all a part of my faith that the Lord is in charge. Truth will reign. Where do I receive the ability to have faith? Is it substantial? Faith offers a path to follow, a way of life, and a very joyful journey.
