a last live performance

A Long Time Ago – 

A guess. A local bluegrass band at the library?  A country western dance with a live band just a few years ago. It was the best. An 80 year old danced with his wife, daughter, granddaughter, and daughter in law. A night to remember.

A Job For One Day – 

A chance to determine what news story goes on the front page and above the fold. The headline. Lead with good news and follow it up with the bad. I would fire the one with the most dishonest story. That might be the good news.

A Responsibility – 

A giving unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. First give unto God the things that are His. We see the Church corrupted by the  former and not paying attention to the latter. Pray for the new pope.

A Shepherd – 

A guide. The Lord is my shepherd. He will guide me. A statement of belief. I look for signs. Sometimes they are not clear. In my dreams they are not clear but I do try to understand them. Meditation is necessary.
