Went to Pick Up Mail & Grabbed a Free Coffee at Kwik Trip
Today I went out to get a coffee & read some scripture, then out to my apartment to grab my mail - and I got $173 in the mail from Energy Assistance! Plus some additional help went straight to MG&E. I'm very thankful that I have these supports - they make me more free to save up money for an emergency fund, as well as eventually start investing in Mutual Funds.

Went to Get Some NOS from Kwik Trip
Went to the Kwik Trip down the street for 4x NOS's - internet is getting hinkey on us here in the group home. Thankfully my Alpha class & SAA meeting streamed ok last night. I think I'm going to try reading one paragraph out of the New Testament every morning with coffee, and see how that goes. I need an easy routine that will keep me in The Word, without overdoing it and burning out early. Lol.

2+mi Walk to Apartment and Back
Today I went to my apartment to list some things for sale on eBay. Had a major anxiety attack on the way back to the group home - I went to Willy St Co-Op Northside for some Brie, then walked back to the group home. I called my mom on the way back and she helped.

A Walk to Kwik Trip w/ My Roommate from the Group Home
Today I went on a walk to Kwik Trip and back again, with my roommate from the group home. I also had the chance to do a personality test with him (www.16personalities.com). Talked with P. - she needs help. Lots of help, overcoming fear and rejection. Please do pray for her!

Library, Free Food, and Kwik Trip - and Time Spent Ministering to P. in the Group Home
Today I went on a walk out to the Library to drop off a book, and stumbled on some guys giving away free groceries and flowers! I picked up some cookies, danishes, and a bouquet of flowers for my mom. I gave one flower to P. here in the group home, hoping it would cheer her up. I also went on a walk from Kwik Trip back to the group home. Did some further praying with my roommate. Helped P. with writing down her passions, dreams, and abilities, and shared the gospel with her.

A Quick Walk to Kwik Trip and Back w/ Patti - And More Work Done on the Game
Today I went on a quick walk to Kwik Trip and back to the group home with Patti, one of the other residents here. It was nice to have some company. I bought 4 NOS's (I know, too much sugar!) but that's what I run on when I'm coding. That's right! I'm back at it again coding my game "Anointed One" - just needed some time to get a fresh perspective and I was able to fix several bugs and add a few new features - including a Bible Search panel. Now I need to sort that search result by relevance - which is proving to be a bit more complicated than simple string matching. But I welcome the challenge!

Opportunities for Ministry
Since I arrived at the group home, I've had several opportunities for ministry - including praying for two of my housemates, and talking to one guy about origin, meaning, morality, and destiny. I talked with my roommate a little bit about his interests, etc. - but there wasn't much to go on there. I also had an opportunity to talk with a friend from SAA, and prayed for him. I felt like the (good) old me was right back in the swing of things in praying with power. He said he had the chills as he heard me pray over the phone, and was super blessed & uplifted & inspired by it. Hallelujah! I was also able to pray over a friend from my Voices Group, with similar power & authority. Looks like my ministry is starting to (slowly) take shape & get started!

A Walk Home
Today I went on a walk home from the group home (to mom & dad's place) and caught a ride home from my mom.
Prayers
Today I prayed for my friend Goldy (and his family) and a roommate in the group home - it was great! The roommate (a 40-something female) wanted to be filled with the Spirit, and as I prayed for her, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit inside me, and I prayed that she would be filled! I also prayed recently for the Public Advocate of the United States, and the president (of the Public Advocate) had great success at his subsequent rally at the White House.

As far as the group home goes - I'm here for 1-2 months, and I believe it to be a great opportunity for ministry. So do others in my life.

A Walk Through Both Neighborhoods, Out to Willy St Co-Op, and Around the West Neighborhood
A good long walk out into the trailer park (East) neighborhood, and then around in back through the woods (West neighborhood) where I met a wonderful dog and her owner. But I don't remember their names! Oh well. Then I went out to Willy St Co-Op for some Brie, Raspberries, Naan, and Arizona Iced Tea. Then I came back around into the West neighborhood for another walk through the woods and back to my apartment again.

Another Visit With A Dog & A Neighbor & My Walk Around The Neighborhoods
This morning I went on my "new usual" walk and encountered a 14-week-old puppy with his owner and their son. Lots of kisses & gnawing on my fist lol. Then I met a neighbor who I know from a weekly meeting I go to via zoom every Tuesday night. That was cool. We talked for a bit. I made sure I did at least 4+ miles on this walk, by adding laps around the apartment building.

A 500+ Calorie Walk Around Both Neighborhoods
Today I went on a casual walk around both neighborhoods on either side of Packers Ave (my "usual" walk minus the woods being closed behind Lakeview Elementary) I'm currently reading Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Revisited. And will soon have his Total Money Makeover Workbook, coming in the mail.
A Shortened Walk Around Both Neighborhoods
Today I went on a shortened walk around both neighborhoods, only 5K steps. Stopped to say hi to Whiskey, a (bulldog?) that I've met before on my walks around the neighborhood behind my Apartment Building. He's very nice and likes kisses. Lol.
