Lessons Learned
September 3, 2013 Gorgeous morning here in the Mesilla Valley. But the mosquitos are SWARMING. After my last comments on being eaten by them, I took certain steps and as a result have had much less trouble. Until today. And of course, this morning, as I pulled the door shut I realized I’d not unlockedContinue reading “Lessons Learned”
Creativity
September 2, 2013 Thought for Today Unless we are creators we are not fully alive. …Creativity is a way of living life, no matter our vocation or how we earn our living. — Madeleine L’Engle I sometimes wonder – in what way I am creative? I have mentioned before that I have no real gifts,Continue reading “Creativity”
The Serenade
God knocks, calls, serenades us, but doesn’t necessarily intrude unless we desire and consent to intimacy. -R. Jay Pearson I get a mental image of God standing outside my window, singing me love songs… and me sitting all aloof in my room, ignoring the noise outside. Wondering why God has withdrawn intimate contact. Wondering why I’m strugglingContinue reading “The Serenade”
Spirit-Journey
Is there anyone who is not aware of the metaphor that our life is a journey? That metaphor pops up so many times that really it’s lost any punch for me. “Yeah, yeah, yeah”, I think to myself. Tell me something I DON’T know. Or perhaps, I hear statements like “The destination is the journey”.Continue reading “Spirit-Journey”
Unintentionally Allegorically So
In my last entry, I alluded to an online serial novel I am reading. It is a science fiction story set in a vastly different universe. To describe what it is about would be quite difficult, and to be honest would be outside what my point is today. However, I do need to fill inContinue reading “Unintentionally Allegorically So”
Mushy Stuff
In the early 1970’s, shortly after I started High School if memory serves, Mom & Dad discovered the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and dragged me along with them. I’m not sure, actually, how my own involvement began. Perhaps they actually DID drag me along. I suspect they, ahem, encouraged my attendance at first; eventually I knowContinue reading “Mushy Stuff”
Lent 2012 – Good Friday
Remember the Reason for the Season! I’ve heard that one a lot, haven’t you? It comes around twice each year. Every fall, folks fall all over themselves to remind us to remember the reason for the season… And that’s good. I don’t mean to sound as though we SHOULDN’T be reminded to remember the reason. Continue reading “Lent 2012 – Good Friday”
Lent 2012 – Day 14 (Tuesday)
Oh Happy Day! Today, this wondrous of days… I learned I am soon to be the joyous recipient of not 1, not 2, but 3 – THREE – root canals. I think actually it still qualifies as only 1 root canal, but the tooth has what appears to be 3 separate channels that will needContinue reading “Lent 2012 – Day 14 (Tuesday)”
