a life today
A Picture –
A year ago. Don’t know. A strange question. What will it be next year? I will be grateful if I get another year to fight the good fight, to finish the race, and keep the faith. Life is a gift. Faith is a gift. Thank you Lord Jesus. Who could ask for more?
a speaker
A Truth –
A sea of lies. “The Emperor Has No Clothes” We shouldn’t have to rely on a child to speak the truth. You have to admire one who is willing to speak the truth when lies seem to rule the day.
a news program
A List Of Problems –
A waste of time worrying about things you can do nothing about. Complaining. I could do less complaining. That is a double negative which should be a positive. Why not just be positive by appreciating what you have? Life.
a wild animal
A Patio –
A water dish for the birds but others take a drink including feral cats. Just like birds, there can never be too many cats. They belong outside. They take care of the rats. There will always be too many rats. I never see them at the dish.
a favorite place
A City –
A church and a bar on every corner. Saturday night at the bar. Sunday morning at the church. A dialogue with like minded people. A place to worship with like minded people. A T-shirt with a church on the front and a bar on the back. Wear it proudly.
a famous person
A Meeting –
A chance to meet a significant player. That would be Father Theodore Hesburgh who brought academic excellence to a Catholic university. His Land O’lakes Statement allowed many other Catholic schools to ignore the teachings of the Church.
a time
A Need –
A want to fight the good fight. To finish the race and to keep the faith. There is a time for us. A time for appreciation. A time to love. A time to respect others with different beliefs. A time to repent. Take the time and do it.
a disorder
A Life Without Mozart –
A life without order. Mozart created beauty by putting all the notes in the right order. Confusion leads to depression. Music at first is just another distraction but one that can give us hope for a world that makes sense. We need this to believe that there is truth and we need only to look for it.
a lesson
A Reason To Listen –
A good friend will listen to you. An ear to hear what another person is saying. An understanding will lead to a good conversation. A dialogue. We can learn something from everyone we come in contact with. Be a good neighbor.
