Been busy.
Relationship...Sorry for the late reply. Been busy.<br /><br />Relationship with spirit and direct experience with God are two different animals. Hicks was kinda cool insofar as he was one of the first social relativists in the new world. Oh well.<br /><br />As far as the farm's link to Quakers, its all orthodox. Pre-schism stuff. <br />Not even sure they were for the civil war. They werent Quakers that thought their vision was worth other's blood. <br /><br />Ornery you say. Merriam sez that is ill tempered or difficult to control. Like a bad dog. That may be true. History is littered with them. Cant think of one off the top of my head though.<br /><br />Sorry I missed you guys the half dozen times I called. Michael did want to see you though.<br /><br />Give my love to the kids and Tad.<br /><br /><br /><br />Butternuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118417084595812370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-90852969689087757932014-01-17T08:26:06.728-08:002014-01-17T08:26:06.728-08:00You have not lost your sense of humor, I see. No w...You have not lost your sense of humor, I see. No way would Elias Hicks dispute another's personal, direct experience of God. So call me, I'd love to catch up and hear about your farm's links to Quakers, which doesn't surprise me. Hope you are well and grateful you're still alive, kicking and ornery!Cathy Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371655581401528831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-37656666286579696522014-01-14T17:47:55.692-08:002014-01-14T17:47:55.692-08:00I believe, however, that Elias Hicks would disagre...I believe, however, that Elias Hicks would disagree with your interpretation. My research of the farm ended up digging deep in Quakerism, what I found was rather disconcerting. Can you really know me impersonally? <br /><br />Duh?Butternuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118417084595812370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-82887117569144241422014-01-10T04:43:50.977-08:002014-01-10T04:43:50.977-08:00That's an unusual response.

In my experience, Quakerism has led me into a deeper relationship with Spirit, which fuels my outer life and service to others. Does this happen to be the Matt Engel I know personally?Cathy Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371655581401528831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-27020761728133992092014-01-09T19:23:30.891-08:002014-01-09T19:23:30.891-08:00Quakerism has always been a cult of self.Quakerism has always been a cult of self.Butternuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118417084595812370noreply@blogger.com
