And you really are a mountain man,living the life,and roaming free in the mountains,right? No degrees,no white collar jobs,house,bank accounts,retirement fund,IRA's,etc,etc,etc?
Did I have all that? Well yeah... for a season. Turned out it was all a lie, and gone in a flash.
No... Pretty much everyone knows my story... I am not 'roaming free', having been struck down by illness and wound up in a wheelchair. Having experienced miraculous healing by the hand of the God you deny, I now concern myself with getting my body back, and then on to being free again. I am in my sixth year coming back. A long row to hoe.
I have none of those things, except that which I will mention hereafter. All of that was lost in my illness.
I own a stickframe cabin a mile from town, it's contents, a shed out back with all my tools, an old pickup, a trailer, and a minivan. I own one account, for receiving electronic payments, and busy myself fixing computers mostly for cash... the only part of three businesses left from the previous time. The rest of it cratered when I fell ill. What little I have been able to save is in the Bank of Earth in mason jars here and there.
Other than that, I am about to close on a 20 acre piece at the end of the dirt, backed on two sides by national forest. The next step. I will be felling trees there for a cabin as soon as I can find a tractor, and build a bandsaw mill... and will hopefully be living there by the end of next summer, with a barn and another stick frame cabin... Good Lord willing, and I don't fall down again. But if I do, then the next year. It is in Yahovah's hands, and not mine.
THEN, yes... I will be back where I belong. And a long road getting there.
But what has that to do with anything here?
