I simply was walking in the other direction! And, then my life changed forever. It's bad when it takes a person to find Christ... I experienced a major Traumatic Brain Injury, coma, and eventually had to relearn everything over again at the age of 21... I found out, JESUS never walks away!

A parable of Abbot Achilles, showing how our strife is not only against the powers of evil which are without, but also, even chiefly, against the evil that is within.

A certain brother said to Abbot Achilles, “How is it that the demons have power against us?” The old man answered him thus: “The trees of Lebanon said, ‘How great we are and high! Yet we are cut down with a very small axe. Yes, and of the axe, which cuts us down the greater part is wood, and comes from us. Therefore, let us give no part of ourselves, and the axe will have no power against us.’ Soon there came some men seeking timber, and they made a handle for their axe out of these very trees in spite of their boasting. So the trees were cut down. Now the trees are the souls of men. The handle of the axe is man’s evil will. So we are cut down by means of the evil that is within us.”

For the first time in my life I can say I know what it is like to be "off the grid' utilitywise. I know how to abound and I know how to do without. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
