A refugee man visits her neighbor. As he arrives her home, he first hears only chicken clucking and wonders whether he will find mama Konyu or not. 

The man starts to call her aloud. While singing at the backyard, Mama Konyi sweeps goat dung. Upon hearing her neighbor’s voice, she stops sweeping and responds to him. 

The man asks what she wants to do with them. Disappointedly in her tone, Mama Konyu replies that the goat dung smells a lot and so she wants to sweep and burn them. The man interjects and explains to her the easiest steps she can follow to turn goat, cattle or poultry waste plus that of plant residues into a rich manure. He says once the component decomposes in a pit, Mama Konyu can spread them in her garden to improve the garden's soil fertility. The man testifies reaping huge benefits from using animal wastes as manure.

An agricultural expert discourages the community from burning and misuse of animal wastes, adding that dung from goats, cattle or chicken wastes improve soil fertility and provide crops with rich nutrients for suitable growth. He tells refugees and locals that spreading animal wastes on their crops or the trees they planted will lead to better yields and eventually, a green refugee settlement.

A hungry man wakes up from a day nap in anticipation that his wife will bring him lunch food. As his hunger deepens, he loses patience. He jumps off the bed and approaches his wife at the kitchen.

When he opens the kitchen door, he angrily asks his wife for food.  However, his frustrated wife tells him there is no food yet because people are being chased back from the forest over firewood gathering. Before she completes explaining her statement, her husband slaps her, and starts beating her up. 

A neighbor hears her loud cry and runs in to help. He separates the couples and explains to them about the new concept of making briquettes from plant residences as a cheap, convenient and safe cooking fuel they can make from home.

An environmental expert then warns refugee men and women against fighting over fuel for cooking, explaining that women and men should work together to make briquettes as fuel for cooking. He says briquettes can be made faster, burns for long, produces enough heat, and cooks clean and faster, leading to low demand for firewood and a green refugee settlement.

Grandes Sequias Coincidieron con el Colapso Maya Clásico

 - 4 more storm fronts coming. Brutal summer ahead. Prepare for flooding. Soil change impairing absorption. Then drought for many yrs., so both extremes. 
- Food prices up. Some products gone forever. Non-GMO crops won't grow. Watch for bio-engineered products. 
- Jack Parsons- OTO. iconography everywhere. Not entertainment. Many organizations infiltrating everything. Called Mother Earth the womb. Worshiped Babylon based on rule of law. Used misdirects and assumptions. Rule of law will always be enforced and commands men. Men became self-aware of their actions as pharisees judged. Priests enforced statutes, commandments and judgements, but they came to enforce the law. Rules had ratings and enforcers. Men served men through law and not God. They interpreted law, so people had to please them. Power became the goal. Christ upturned this for our liberty.  Babylon is the standard of kingdoms with rule of law. Countries all operate the same. 
- Balance world and Gospel daily. Man's word equal to God's Word in these days. 
-Devil roams seeking whom he may devour. Key is he may not devour Christ's children. Sometimes devil has his way with us for a little season. Don't be impatient with corrections. Acknowledge you need correction. God doesn't fix issues, He enables us to walk over it. We've been made immune to a broken heart. A form of Satan's bait. 
-Electronic pain relievers- Offered instead of drugs, but you must wear something released every 30 days. In essence, a replacement addiction. 7 days to break an addiction. Solutions for many things will be offered. Fixes for fatigue too. Will have to conform to keep relief. Harder to give up once tasted. Wholeness takes purging. End condition worse than first when liberated but not dedicated. The Lord waits for your commitment to Him first before deliverance. Trust His methods. Don't let your belief be challenged. His solution for you binds you to Him.
 - AI- used to search bible. Dictionaries ( now AI) don't define your relationship with Christ. Not your best interest. Watch doing searches to validate your beliefs. Don't lean unto your own understanding. 
- What will pull us into focus? A biblical event of significance. A catalyst of change. These things shouldn't be required to bolster our faith. People will compromise unless they repent. Let nothing external affect family relationships.
- Woman riding the beast is depicted improperly. She should be shown as afraid. 
- Homeless- Some unfortunate, some choose that route. 
- Coming betrayal will cause big chaos; a lack of order. Big challenge. Prayer will help to hear the Spirit. Go boldly to the throne in your time of need. There are things meant to come forward in this time only. 
- We are what drain our batteries.
- Axis of planets points at something. Building toward events we won't see coming. Bible depicts real events, like Egypt. 
-Many alarms today.
