A little more than a year ago I had a feeling that seemed like a word of knowledge about the future as it pertained to water. In that moment the thought being downloaded to me suggested that water,
in the years to come, would be more valuable than gold and silver. Over the years I have had several of these “God thoughts” that randomly place themselves at the forefront of my conscious mind. They

Pete Seeger’s recent passing has given me pause to reflect upon the not so subtle influence that he has had on my life. From the time I first heard about him through this very day, Pete and his music
