I believe in God, so I spoke. 2/4/24

 2/4/24 February 4th, 2024 Sunday Morning Meditation Finding your voice… My morning Bible Meditation found me reading II Corinthians Chapter 4 and my eyes fell on  “...I believed in God, so I spoke…(v13), and that kind of jumped out at me.  As I sat, I reflected on how that would apply to myself, a believer, and a person never short of words.  The older you get the more history you have to judge by, the truer the image fits reality.   My prayer journal shows bursts where my prayers lean heavily in one direction then in another,  a good indication my faith is not rooted and my spine weak and I am panicky as I try to control events.  But if one pulls back a bit, a longer trend shows a steady move in one direction.  Think of it as how a tree grows towards the light, the winds of the day may buffet, but overall the tree seeks the sun and as it matures it is less and less influenced by the winds… When I was younger, when I spoke my ego wrote the s...

“Bettering Ourselves” Addendum .v3 Sunday Meditation 12/24/23

  12/26/23 “Bettering Ourselves” Addendum .v3 Sunday Meditation While I was working on the concept of “bettering ourselves” I came across a song that fit the subject matter like a glove. Since the post was already getting too long, I withheld mentioning the song and filed it away for another day. The song seems so appropriate I’m posting it as an addendum to the Sunday post. The song is “In the Blood”, written by John Mayor, a prolific songwriter. The best cover of the song is by the acapella group, Home Free, was released in 2017. I strongly encourage you to listen to Home Free sing their cover here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1TqpH6PZBo Here’s the lyrics; Home Free -In the Blood How much of my Mother Has my Mother left in me How much of my love Will be insane to some degree What about this feeling That I'm never good enough Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood How much of my Father Am I destined to become Will I dim the lights inside me Just to sat...

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...
