Lindianne Sappington

About me

I am a renaissance woman.  I wrote an historical novel, Greensleeves, about the renaissance in the 1500's in Ireland and Scotland.  Trained as a classical musician, I play and teach piano, violin, viola, guitar, ukulele and compose music for video documentaries such as Rewilding Kernwood.  I perform Celtic, country and western, spiritual, jazz, and bluegrass music, and produce community service events.

I studied history and constitutional law at Princeton University, Class of 1976.  I have been reading the Urantia Book since 1986.

My husband Arthur Sappington (natural resources generalist, watershed manager--see his profile on www.snakerivermusicgardens.org) ) and I now focus our time and energy into serving Snake River Music Gardens, a tax-exempt public charity we founded in 2021, www.snakerivermusicgardens.org.  We foster food forests both here in the Snake River watershed and in Uganda, where we see the food forest movement as a way for the people of Uganda to avert famine and achieve food self-reliance.  Our co-ordination with director Waiswa John Billy and agriculturist Joseph Mulopi of Youth in Act - Uganda makes possible the Food Forest Certification Program.  We have adopted the 35 orphans of His Grace Children's Home as our own grandchildren, and we love Waiswa John Billy as a son.

                    Uganda Constitution - Creating Politics With Principles

                    Uganda Constitution - Politics with Principles - Agaba Josephat - The measure of the advance of society is directly determined by the degree to which public opinion can control personal behavior and state regulation through nonviolent expression. The really civilized government had arrived when public opinion was clothed with the powers of personal franchise. Popular elections may not always decide things rightly, but they represent the right way even to do a wrong thing. Evolution does not at once produce superlative perfection but rather comparative and advancing practical adjustment.

They are low-maintenance, produce a huge diversity of food and habitat, and help to regenerate and then maintain the land they are grown on. Here is a 15 minute video by Robert Hart describing how to create one:

                    Pato's Spiritual Family

                    One World,One Family,One God, - The greatest of all methods of problem solving I have learned from Jesus, your Master. I refer to that which he so consistently practices, and which he has so faithfully taught you, the isolation of worshipful meditation. In this habit of Jesus’ going off so frequently by himself to commune with the Father in heaven is to be found the technique, not only of gathering strength and wisdom for the ordinary conflicts of living, but also of appropriating the energy for the solution of the higher problems of a moral and spiritual nature.

                    The Planetary Reserve Corps of Destiny

                    The reserve corps of destiny consists of living men and women who have been admitted to the special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs. This corps is made up of the men and women of each generation who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to assist in the conduct of the ministry of mercy and wisdom to the children of time on the evolutionary worlds. It is the general practice in the conduct of the affairs of the ascension plans to begin this liaison utilization of mortal will creatures immediately they are competent and trustworthy to assume such responsibilities. ● The gap between the material and spiritual worlds is perfectly bridged by the serial association of mortal man, secondary midwayer, primary midwayer, morontia cherubim, mid-phase cherubim, and seraphim. In the personal experience of an individual mortal these diverse levels are undoubtedly more or less unified and made personally meaningful by the unobserved and mysterious operations of the divine Thought Adjuster.

                    Voices of the Prophets

                    Hi folks, The Voices of the Prophets is a forum whose purpose is to give people a venue to share AUDIO reflections, monologues, conversations, interviews, questions exploring what they have thus far learned and have yet to learn! We all lead such busy lives that it is sometimes hard to find 5 minutes to sit and read a newspaper much less something the size of the Urantia Book! In spite of these challenge, such is our spiritual hunger, we do find the time to satisfy the yearnings of our soul: while driving, doing our chores, or while going for a walk or run. All we need to do is download the talk or lesson that interests us, stick on our headphones or plug into our speaker, and listen away to our hearts content. Where there’s a will there’s a way! It is envisioned that the talks presented herein will be relatively unscripted; spoken from the heart. They might be monologues, conversations, songs of praise, whatever the spirit inspires you to share. It is hoped that the subjects discussed deepen insight, remove obstacles, resolve conflicts, enhance fellowship, and open the way for our spiritual cyber community to prosper. You are invited to provide comment, feedback, and questions to help explore and deepen the conversations.
