Feeling alone in a nice village?

Horizon West
It takes a village.

Horizon West began in the mid-1990’s, a few years after we moved to our current home.

Because our subdivision bordered the project, we were invited (and attended) all the early meetings with the big developers.

It was a coalition of Citrus farm owners who wanted out of farming and held massive acreage of (extremely) valuable vacant land North and Northwest of the Walt Disney World Resort.

The farmer’s dilemma was changing the existing zoning from one home per 10-acres to 50 homes per 10-acres (five homes per acre).

All told, we are roughly 50% finished with the buildout that will add one-million-plus people where there used to be only a couple thousand at best.

A few days ago, i attended a small business meetup organized by Orange County Florida’s citizen of the year, Cynthia Dailey.

The number of times a visionary thinks about quitting would make your head spin.

Your community is a gift, brought about by visionary people.

Your decisions have that same potential.

It’s impossible to be lonely if you do this

Glacier National Park is meant for solitude.

 

If you feel lonely, ask yourself why?

Are you waiting to be served or are you initiating service?

It’s impossible to be lonely if you spend time serving others who are less fortunate than you.

Hey God, where are you?

Real life is not a cartoon. But many cartoons are inspired by real life.

 

If you don’t feel close to God, guess who moved.

Even when you choose not to decide

Lake Mabel Rural Enclave
There are only four small rural enclaves in all of Orange County Florida. At stake is the conflict between investors and rural homeowners.

 

Even when you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Good on you for deciding to be part of a Church community.

Many either don’t establish this structure and process or they began strong but fall away from it.

Community means a group of like-minded people.

When you get older and feel lonely, remember we reap what we sow.

Overlooked, but not by everyone

Simple images like this, nowhere near the direction of the sunset, are often overlooked.

 

Overlooked, but not by everyone.

We can feel that way sometimes.

God is always noticing.
