Matthew 25:37

 

June 30th, Ano dos

Bless be the Tie That Binds

Blessed by the Spinners of the Thread, that See, not Time, only Eternity

Blessed be the Sacred Fabric, Unbroken through the Generations

Blessed be the Weavers Whose names are;

Father, Mother, Uncle and Aunt.

Preacher, Teacher, Door Greeter and Sweeper Upper.

Singer, Psalm Writer, Poet and Cook

Visitor to the homebound, Crutch for the Halt

Listener to the young, a helping hand for the stooped.

Smiles with no guile , Hugs spontaneous and freely shared

Gifts Differing; encouraged in all, by all, shared with all.

Blessed is the child born beneath these intertwined branches

Blessed are those whose bones rest below.

Poppie

One Story from Our Trip to Florida

 1/19/24 One story from our drive to and from Florida; It's been quite a long while since Sue and I have done any serious driving on the interstate system and when we last did it, I was doing all the driving.  Fast forward a century and Sue is now doing all the driving. I'm in the navigator role, checking maps, watching for “idiots with a driver's license” coming up behind us.  Boy has things changed!  Back in the day, “5-7 over the speed limit” was the norm.  Now, that will get you seriously rear ended, and that’s if you're in the slow-lane!   Sue quickly adapted to the advanced technology our new-used van had come equipped with.  With a speed limit at 70mph you would expect for the majority of the traffic to be tooling along at say 75-78mph in the fast lane. Not so!  Now, the slow lane is for those who dodder along at 75-78, the middle lane is populated with those going in the 76-84mph range and they’ve added a third lane where the speeds s...

You own nothing, and neither do I. September 22,2024

  September, 22, 2024 Sunday Meditation You own nothing, and neither do I. The process of aging out of the system is filled with difficulties and irony.  The process starts way before it begins or so at times it seems.  Life is given to us, sometimes, I think grudgingly.  It is as if the angels know we have to do our tour of duty here on earth, for some reason known but to God. But there are things different between man and angels.  It seems that as soon as we are born, God starts the clock ticking in bits of code buried deep in our DNA.  The obituaries are clear that some are destined to leave life early, and some will be the last ones to be taken.  Death is so final and unstoppable; “... leaving 3 small children without a..., taken suddenly as he pulled up his socks....,  after an extended…, their battle has ended...., outlived 15 siblings....” .    We stop, but leave the motor running, to pay our respects, grieve our grief, and then w...

In the twinkling of an eye 1/13/24

  January 14th, 2024 Just like that Every once in a while you experience what is called a “teachable moment”.  A teachable moment is when you experience something that has a great lesson for life wrapped in it and that experience opens your eyes to that great truth, and here I might add, you learn the lesson by observation and enlightenment without always having to pay the costs of learning the lesson the hard way.  Here’s an example from my own life; When I was 16, I owned a Honda Sport motorcycle, and like any 16 year old male, I loved speed and the feel of acceleration.  Just top off the tank with pure testosterone, twist the throttle, and “let’er rip ‘til the valves floated out”- instant Nirvana!!  To make a long story short, one Saturday in I think September, I was working on tuning the engine and after making some adjustments, hopped on it and started to head out of town to see if it made any improvement.  Before I hit the edge of town I found myself ...
