Basecamp Jesus (FOR THOSE WITH URGENT MISSIONS.)

8/22/25 Update: the pressure on James mounts. It isn't over till it's over but it certainly looks like this house will have been purchased by mid-september. No known obstacles are apparent. Jesus said, he that knows the Lord's will, and does not prepare himself, nor act according to his Lord's will, shall be beaten with many stripes. Gulp. I can only imagine how Jesus my Lord, my master, is evaluating his Apprentice James here, but I sure am imagining that. And the Matrix above is a beginning of how I will learn to think about how to avoid those stripes. Ouch. AAnd as an apprentice to jesus, in my imagination, I want to make his eternal rehab team which is the only Heaven I can imagine wanting to be in. How might he be evaluating candidates for that team? How might he be evaluating james? Master Jesus Mission House: Fufilling a lifelong dream That's as accurately as I can put it. What? Me as a disciple of the man jesus, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. No, ...

Updated July 25th, 2025. Comments welcome. Comments needed. Was Jesus not on an urgent mission?  Are disciples, followers, apprentices... ever not as the master? Ever? Does the disciple ever not want to be as the master? Is the Harvest of barely alive Souls from the clutches of the wicked spirits, not plentiful?  Are there even seconds to spare to rescue barely alive Souls from death? Does the disciple want a home? The son of man has nowhere to rest his head, nor does he want one. Does the MASH unit in battle want a home? They want a base of operations. People on urgent missions to save lives, the life inside, their own, or that of others, do they not need a base of operation? Are there such? There are not so far. Not sure what thriving looks like?

Uodate 7/20/25: speak now or forever hold your peace. And shame on anyone that has anything meaningful to say that doesn't say it now. * yesterday for 30 minutes the realtor that has been valiantly trying to help me establish base camp Jesus in a community, religious and secular, that wants no part of it, sat down with me and we talked. * IF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA YOU HAVE A SACRED DUTY TO SPEAK UP NOW. Well, if you are excited because you see a better way to invest Jesus' funds, of course you won't be able to resist telling me before it's too late. Otherwise...  * by the end of this week unless a better idea with passion behind it comes forward, I expect to make an offer on a vacant .14 acre lot in the southwest corner of the city near the old High school. * to be urgent mission support.  A safe place to sleep for someone on an urgent mission. 6pm-6am. A safe place to park for someone on an urgent mission. 6:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.  a place for the as yet unseen citize...

( under development. Join in the work.)  Of, by and for the least of these. We are each and all recovering addicts to less than full children of God. Mission/vision so overwhelmingly enticing as to engage a core team unable to resist the joy of the Monumental attempt. And then others. Mission and metrics for the camp. Mission and metrics for every member. People on missions serving people on missions. Sustainability, replicability: Basecamp, surrounding community, country, world Human energy, vision, mission, land, financial resources Centrally and perpetually focused on rehabilitating the least of these, and ourselves. Entirely, completely, perpetually respectful of all stakeholders Direct, indirect, inside, outside Continually embracing, never denying, the material realities of The Wider world A continual Network of universal Mutual case management, scrupulously respectful, mutually accountable with ferocity. Our brother's keeper, not owner. Fiercely and incessantly on guard agai...

 ( under development. Join in the work.) The son of man has nowhere to rest his head.  Us too. Did Jesus need rest? Yes. Did he want rest? Just what was needed for the mission, and he took it. Did Jesus stay in one place?  He went where he was needed.  His Home was where he was needed.

( under development. Join in the work.)  What did Jesus own?  What talents did those in Jesus parables own?  I'll wait. Take all the time you need. Which breath you are given is yours, not God's?  Do you realize how liberated, free that makes you?!?!??!! So, when your servant (you) comes in from the fields, do you tell him to go eat?  NO! You say, go and wash up, change your clothes, prepare and serve the master's meal, clean up... and then go eat! What did anyone OWN in the parables?  Nothing.  It was the property of the lord. What are the exceptions, things that you actually own? Which are NOT the Master's talents placed in your charge to PUT TO USE? Each breath? A car? A place to sleep? A place to work? Food? Drink? Land? etc? Are there ANY exceptions? Who was the most fortunate of the servants: The one given 1 talent?  5? 10?  THE ONE THAT BEST USED WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN DOING THE MASTER'S WILL.

 ( under development. Join in the work.) Jesus is our one and only leader as articulated in these three books, the Arbiter of every dispute within and among ourselves. Everything we do, think, attempt is held accountable to his words and example in Matthew Luke Mark and john.  Jesus' Way Booklet form Never of the four independent, always in the perspective of the others. But when in doubt, the synoptic gospels. Among history's greatest humans, why is there one, ONLY ONE, that no one yearns to follow, makes themself a single-minded disciple of, equal, go beyond, measure ourselves by? I'll wait. The singularly greatest human being in human history, the singularly most joyful abundant life, and NO ONE TAKES HIS WORDS AND EXAMPLE SERIOUSLY. We create, worship and follow golden calves instead... the teachings of man, the fabrications of man, the things of man.  "You savor the things of man, not the things of God." What serious follower of any great human in history doe...
