\"Adam<\/a>
Adam tearing apart old trailer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our neighbor, Adam, is building a micro-house<\/a>. Adam built it on an old trailer, so the micro-house is mobile.<\/p>\n

Adam has collected unused materials and is constructing it very affordably.<\/p>\n

I walk over to watch Adam work. He enjoys the project even though he doesn\u2019t have any fancy tools to work with. His spirits are high because his goal is to live leaving a small footprint on earth.<\/p>\n

Venus, the Italian Greyhound dog, who is visiting me, walks over with me. Venus is sort of like a micro-dog and Adam\u2019s house looks her size.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how long Adam will live in the micro-house. He will also be using solar panels for an electricity source. Not everyone can live in<\/p>\n

\"Venus<\/a>

such a small house, but Adam\u2019s big idea of smaller impact<\/a> on earth is worth melding into everyday life.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 60:22<\/p>\n

The least one shall become a clan,
\nand the smallest one a mighty nation;
\nI am the Lord;
\nin its time I will hasten it.<\/p>\n
