The past week has been a very soggy week. In case you are unaware of Texas weather, south and west Texas got hit hard by rainfall. When it comes to rain, in South Texas it is either feast or famine.
For the past couple years it was famine, one of the worst doubts in recorded history, making Texas a dry, hot and dusty place. Last summer in San Antonio, every high temperature record was broken and then broken again. In fact every day that summer we broke between one to three records as we reached 100f (38c) or above day after day. So when the rains began to come, everyone in Texas began to praise God.
This past week it has been feast. The first three days I saw drizzle to light rain, about 0.20 inch rain daily. Then on Thursday I saw down pours that were unbelievable. At times I could not even see out my windows as they were covered in sheets of water. That evening the rain subsided again into light rain so I trudged through the standing water to my rain gauge to see just how much rain had fallen that day. My gauge only holds 6 inches and it was all the way to the brim. Friday I would see another 1.60 of rain and Saturday a mere 0.25 inches of rain.
This land is very rocky and so it takes awhile for the rain to seep into the ground. As I look out the windows day after day I have felt like I am living in a swamp. I can see pools of water out every window. I literally am living in a marsh right now. Because of all the water I am stuck inside and suffering from a severe case of cabin fever. I want nothing more than to get outside and enjoy nature while I do some outside work. But right now the land is to wet for any outdoor activities.
When I first purchased this property I had plenty of ideas of what I could do to quickly make it a viable place for people in need to come live. But during the past couple months I have realized those first ideas are not practical. At first I thought about a campsite, and though I will allow folks to camp here until better accommodations can be built, this land is very windy. I have lived in windier places but when the wind picks up I think trying to live in a tent would be uncomfortable. Living in a car would be better. Another problem with a camp ground is this land is rocky. Rocks are everywhere and many of the rocks cannot be moved. So, if people want to camp out on the land it will be permitted, but I do not think very comfortable.
Then I got over 6 inches of rain on Wednesday. During the times I was able to look outside the windows I noticed the rain seemed to flow from the north side of the house towards the south side. Though it has not rained today (Sunday) the south side is still full of water while on the other sides of the house the water has soaked into the ground and I just see mud. But on the south side I still see pools of water. This is valuable information. While most of the 20 acres are to the west of the house, I now know how the land flows by the house. It is also apparent to me that all buildings need to be built off the ground. Due to the feast/famine nature of rain around here, placing buildings on cement slabs is dumb. All buildings need to be off the ground so when heavy rains come, the buildings won’t flood.
I admit I am tired of the rain. The forecasters say we should have one more dry day and then more rain is due. Today I learned I had more rain than anyone else I know at church. Most of them got 3 to 4 inches, but one guy saw none. So I am happy to share with him. May God move next week’s rain clouds onto his property. But whatever happens next week with the rain, no matter how bad my cabin fever gets, this past week of rain has given me valuable insight into the land I now live on and is the home of AOCCCI.

Volunteer Help Came For A Visit
Another very busy week has passed. Last week some friends drove up from San Antonio to volunteer their time. They completed a lot of minor repairs that needed doing around here. They did not have the time to stay to complete any of the bigger projects. But least the toilet seat stays in place and the dryer works now, along with another dozen small maintenance repair jobs. There is a lot to do out here that I just do not have the skill knowledge to complete and I really value these friends who come out and give me a hand. But these friends all have responsibilities elsewhere and can never stay long. I really need someone living here full time to help complete the many tasks that still need to be done. A few of the more urgent tasks to be completed include replacing the back staircase (not up to code and is dangerous), installing a floor in the community room, and building raised garden beds.
So far most of the expenses out here I have been footing, but I am quickly running out of cash. Donations are a must, but as I tell people—sick people don’t donate. Which means donations have to come from those individuals who are able to give. Every little bit helps. It will be impossible to purchase or build cabins for people to live in unless there are donations to cover the cost. Right this moment I could take a major step towards fulfilling a goal of this ministry if AOCCCI had $30,000, but it doesn’t. I have been praying for the money to come in. Please join me in praying for this money and if you can make a donation, no matter how small, it will be greatly appreciated.
Last week the Texas AgriLife Exension Service, which is part of the Texas A&M System, offered well water testing for only $5. When the house was inspected before sale, the inspector had the water tested and bacteria were discovered. Everyone always believed the bacteria was due to no one living here for the past year. The water was treated and a $35 home test found no signs of bacteria. I knew though that the water needed to be professionally tested and when I read about this service in the Texas Mohair Weekly, I made sure to participate. Saturday I received the results and the water passed all the tests. There are no bacteria, nitrates, or anything else bad in the water. Though this land is over the Edwards Aquifer, the same source of water for San Antonio, the distance is so great that it might as well be two different aquifers. The water out here is a lot better then what I drank when I lived in San Antonio and any contamination that occurs in San Antonio will not affect my well.
The needs here extend farther than just maintenance. It has been apparent to me from the day this property was purchased that a new web site needed to be created. A web site is a very time consuming job to take on. I know as I have done a number of them. But paying someone else to do it will cost thousands, which AOCCCI just does not have right now. Unless someone volunteers to do this job, I will have to do it. But first I need to purchase web design software. What I have always used in the past is very out of date. Web design software is not cheap, but a must. After that I will have to take time out of my very busy days to work on the site. I have been praying for months that God would provide someone else to do this job, but no one has come forward and a new site really needs to be completed. One thing about web design, it does not matter where the web designer lives, the Internet is everywhere. So someone volunteering for this job would not need to even live in the US.
I have had several inquiries from people who have a desire to come out here or know someone with MCS who is homeless. The individuals who have expressed a desire to come here all had a valid reason why the trip is undoable. The homeless person has yet to contact me. If anyone does need a place to stay, they can camp on the land. Eventually (hopefully in a few months) the spare bedroom in this house will be available for someone to live in, but at the moment it is being used for storage.
Hopefully before the year is over with there will be others living on this land, but right now it is very quiet outside. There are spring flowers blooming. The vegetable seeds I planted in a few garden pots are sprouting. I threw melon seeds out in the grass and rocks which hopefully are also sprouting. It will be nice to have a little bit of home grown food in a few months and hopefully the raccoons and other critters will leave enough for me to share with others.

Good Friday
I returned home on Monday after spending almost 3 weeks in San Antonio. On March 13 I attended a brunch fund raiser for the Women’s Prayer International (WPI). I really enjoyed the speaker, Betty Moni, and even purchased her book, Butterfly Life In A Caterpillar World, though I have only read one chapter so far. On March 16 my old (WPI) prayer group was meeting and I was able to attend. It really felt great to spend time praying for our nation with them again. Then on March 18 I had a cardiac procedure to close a PFO (patent foramen ovale—specific type of hole in my heart). It was successful and I got great care while recuperating in San Antonio.
By Sunday the desire to return home started to grow. My friend Rick had wanted to return with me so I would not be alone, and install a new floor for me, but his dad has been having health crises and he was needed at home. So Monday I drove home alone. I enjoyed staying with my friend Mary and will be staying at her house in the future, but it is great to finally be back home.
Since coming home I have spent most of my time doing indoor work. I have so much paperwork to accomplish it is unreliable. I really need help out here. Until yesterday I have had been restricted to how much weight I can lift, which prevents me from doing much outside. But I have started doing some minor gardening. I planted some seeds in pots left by the previous owner. I have also tossed cantaloupe, bell pepper, and water melon seeds out in the weeds. No idea if I will get some plants but the seeds came free with my produce purchase. I had prayed for rain this morning and it was predicted, but none fell. So this afternoon I had to water the seeds in the pots by hand.
So that is what I have been up to. My plans are next week to drive back to San Antonio, purchase a desk, and bring it and Rick back to the ranch. Once the floor is in and the desk is put together, I can start organization this place.
This morning I got a call from a former WPI member about a woman she met who is chemically sensitivity. Apparently she is living in her car with her teenage sons. The friend has given her AOCCCI’s brochure. She is going to give her my phone number for her to call. No idea if she will chose to come live on the property. Except for a spare bedroom, I can only provide a place to park her car and pitch a tent. Time will tell. I have had a couple people express a desire to come live out here but most of them had reasons why it was impossible. For instant one woman currently lives in Europe. I need help but I am leaving it all up to God.
Well, today is Good Friday. It is a day of hope. If Jesus had not died on the cross in our place, we would have no hope. Nobody deserves to go to Heaven, but Jesus paid the price for us. In a few days we will celebrate the wondrous resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I will be attending services in Rocksprings. If you are physically able to, I pray you will attend services too.

Country Living
Living out in the country sure is an adventure. It seems the more I do, the more things I see that need to be done. I have paid a few people to do things for me and a number of friends have come and volunteered their time, but the to-do list just keeps on growing. Some of the tasks I have accomplished is getting a new fridge (the old one was very small and hardly held any food, ordering new flooring (which a friend is going to install for me), and staining the well house (which I paid someone to build). I also painted half the living room with sealant (to cover over the very dark paint the previous owner chose). I have made many trips to Rocksprings and Kerrville for supplies. For instant I bought a compost bin in Kerrville and am now actively composting all my food scraps. I also spread about 20 ounces (bag contained 24 oz) of Texas Wild Flower Seeds. So hopefully in a few months the view out the windows will be even more gorgeous then it already is. This week I learned where I can take trash to for disposal. The cost is $3 a bag. It is high because the trash must be trucked to the dump in another county.
This has been one of the coldest winters in history, following the hottest summer ever in Texas. Spring though has finally arrived and the last few weeks I have been spending a few hours a day collecting rocks. Rocks are everywhere and I mean everywhere. The goal is to build a rock wall skirt around the mobile home. Considering I will never run out of rocks here, it makes since to use them and save money. I average about 5 wheel barrows of rocks a day. Slowly the pile is growing larger and one day there will be enough for my friend to get to work and build the skirt rock wall.
A raised garden vegetable bed is in the planning stage. There are so many rocks in the ground that planting straight in the ground is not possible. I have picked the best spot for a raised garden and next time my friend comes out we will purchased the materials to build it. Today though I planted some apple seeds (I ate the rest of the apple). I have no idea if any of the apple seeds will find a pathway through all the rocks to grow into a beautiful tree, but I am hopeful. There are plenty of Mountain Cedar trees on the property so I know it is possible. I also tossed the seeds from my cantaloupe out into the wind. Hopefully I will have cantaloupes this summer and the critters will leave some for me to enjoy. I plan to do the same thing with watermelon seeds later on.
Speaking of critters, I was told the previous owners had a lot of trouble with raccoons and I believe that report. I have had to pile rocks against the doors to the compost bin to keep them out. One morning I found a large rock moved away from the compost door, the door opened, compost pulled out, and a half eaten apple about a yard away. I hope the raccoon enjoyed the treat. I put the compost back in, put the door back in place, threw the half eaten apple back into the compost bin and went got some more rocks. My friend said he will build me a raccoon proof compost bin.
Even with all the work, I love it out here. I enjoy the solitude, but I also enjoy the company. Though I love having my friends visit me, I really look forward to the day the Lord brings me a roommate. Right now that extra bedroom is being used for storage, but it won’t be long before those boxes will be emptied and the person the Lord brings here can move in. I know it will happen in the Lord’s timing. Until then, I will keep the air beds inflated and the door open for my friends to come and give me a helping hand.
Tomorrow I head back to San Antonio where I will remain for a couple of weeks. I am blessed with lots of friends who are happy to open their home to me when I must be in the big city. I will be attending a fund raiser brunch for Women’s Prayer International on Saturday and then later next week will be having a medical procedure. I hope to return with my friend Rick who has promised to install the new flooring in family room (which I plan to use as a community room/library). So please keep me in your prayers.

The Move is Complete
I have been intending to share what has been going on with me, but the truth is I have been so busy I just haven’t had the time. I spent the entire month of January moving. I made multiple trips between San Antonio and “the ranch”, each time filling my Rav4 with stuff. Many of those trips one or two friends accompanied me. They helped me clean, do repairs, unpack the car, and much more. Even though I made multiple trips and rented a U-haul, I still have a few things left in San Antonio to pick up. Thank you to the friends who are storing my stuff for me.
This is ranch country, mainly because the soil is very rocky. Angora goats are plentiful here, though not as plentiful as it once was. Back in the 80’s the market for angora wool apparently plummeted, but high school in Rockspring Texas’ mascot is the Angoras. Besides goats, there are many ranches with cows, horses, and exotic wildlife is everywhere. Most of the exotics around here are raised for hunting, though the other day some friends and I went for a drive and came across a preserve where we saw animals native to Africa including a couple giraffes.
The Ranch, the new home of AOCCCI, consists of 20.08 acres, a 3 bedroom double wide Palm Harbor Mobile Home, and a few other rundown buildings: a ‘cabin’ which is mainly used for storage and a camper trailer which would take a huge amount of TLC to be livable and probably does not run. Honestly, if someone wanted the trailer and was willing to pay to haul it away, I would happily give it to them.
This land is very rocky, has lots of Mountain Cedar trees and a few other species, and other types of vegetation. This place is rural which has always been the plan. I bought this property to be a place where ministry to folks with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) could take place. The MCS population has a high incidence of homelessness and needs help. To accomplish this goal it is going to take a lot of money and sweat equity, but the first step has occurred—AOCCCI now has land.
According to the phone company putting in a landline will cost almost $6000. I would be expected to pay around $4500 of that expense. Maybe someday God will supply the money but right now it is not in the budget. Only AT&T cell phone reception is available here. And even that is spotty. But least I get pretty good reception inside the house. A Direct TV satellite dish provides television, and a Wild Blue satellite dish provides me with Internet, which is much slower then DSL or Cable. If money is donated for a telephone line, then we would be able to get DSL out here.
Several friends have come out here to help me clean, do repairs, and other tasks. Their help has been greatly appreciated. Even though everyone comes out to work, they have all enjoyed being out in the country. Working vacations can be very relaxing and so far everyone who has come out here has not wanted to go home. In fact several times people have decided to stay an extra day because they love it so much.
As I said earlier, the house has 3 bedrooms. Of course I took one bedroom and a second bedroom is being used as an office. I am looking for a roommate for the third bedroom—someone who either for a season or more permanently wants to be a part of this ministry. There is so much that needs to be done and I can’t do it all by myself. If you are interested in learning more, let me know.
This house also has a family room which I intend to line with bookcases for a mini library and make into sort of a community room.
Snow is rare here, but this has been an usually cold winter. It snowed here once in January but at the time I was in San Antonio. It snowed again this past week and I was able to take pictures. The next morning some of the snow was still around, especially on my back stairs where a raccoon clearly had visited me.

Adventures of Moving
Starting with the trip to pick up the house keys from my realtor, I have now made four trips out to the property. Each trip a friend came with me to help me out in some way. There has been a lot of cleaning and other work to be done; including unloading all the stuff I packed in my small SUV. I really appreciate the help I have received. I have spent the weekend packing and preparing to rent a moving truck to take my furniture to the ranch. I must be out of my apartment before the end of the month. Once again friends will be helping me with the move, including driving the moving van.
Last Wednesday my friend Rick and I were in Rocksprings getting stuff from the hardware store and taking care of other things. One question I have is how much will it cost to install a landline to the house? The previous owners used Wild Blue High Speed Satellite Internet Service. The satellite dish is still attached to the roof. If a landline is cheap enough, then I probably will install the line so I can have DSL. But until I know the costs, I will not have internet access at the property. So I will be out of touch for awhile. Hopefully I will have the info I need later this week to install DSL or get service from Wild Blue.
Once Rick and I were done in Rocksprings we got a big surprise. My car (out of the blue) would not start. We both thank God that we were in Rocksprings and not out at the ranch when this happened. Instead of being stranded and having to call for help, we just walked one block to Ray’s Garage. They came and jumped my car. I then drove the block to the garage where they quickly figured out my four month old battery had died. It would not hold a charge at all. It was clear I had to buy a new battery and thankfully they had one that was the right size for my car. Once installed and a hundred dollars poorer, we were on our way. Back at the ranch Rick fixed the well and I got ready for the trip back to San Antonio. We arrived just in time for Church.
Since it was time for my oil change I took care of that Thursday morning. Sunday morning one of my tires had been very low so I told the shop about my tire and battery. They found a nail in the tire but nothing else wrong with the car. I know I made at least two trips to the ranch with a nail in my tire. I am very thankful to God for taking care of me and my friends during these trips.
Now I must get back to packing. And remember, I will not have access to the internet for awhile. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and this move.

Sunset in Edwards County
Yesterday a friend and I drove out to the property to do some house cleaning and maintenance work that needed to be done before I can even think of moving. On the way home last night from Rocksprings we were greeted with a beautiful sunset. I just had to take a few pictures. We returned this afternoon to avoid the very cold weather predicted for most of the country, but still have a lot of work to do.
