Hello again.
Boy i need to start blogging more often.
Hey tom, i got your comment on my previous blog. Yeah, i miss you too.
I am absolutely sure the day will come when we will be living in closer proximity.
The rest of my friends and family, howdy doody to you all too.
Nothing new going on here. Just happy as a bug in a rug growing in grace and gratitude. The more i recognize how big God is, the less i take myself so seriously. Whew! What a relief that is!
Growing up is much more fulfilling than simply growing old.
I love you all
P.S.How do you spell relief? lol

Free Will
Bill, what a great conversation. How God's character sooooooooooooo surpasses anything that man could ever hope to achieve, demonstrated by the Cross of Christ.
While we were still sinners He died for us.
(Acts 17:30) Paul says:
"Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed, and of this He has given assurance to all men by raising Him from the dead."
God is merciful and lovng. He is not merely a Lawgiver, unsympathetic to our condition, ruthlessly demanding obedience and subjugation. We are in truth His offspring. He has extended the invitation at the foot of the Cross. Choose wisely.
Life or Death !!

Who I Am
Hi everyone !
Another sharing moment.
My friend Bill and I were talking about a common theme in both our lives. We agreed we both are caregivers and have been for years. We both are at an age where we are reassessing all of it.
If you've lived long enough, you've asked yourself. Why me? How come i'm always the guy (girl) that this task falls upon? Is it worth it? Am i just spinning my wheels, enabling other people? I've had it. I'm tired of it. Let someone else do it.
Whew!! Sounds pretty glum and exhausting huh? Well, like i say, if you don't get this, you haven't lived much of life.
Okay, now for the good news. I've been through my moments of bitterness, frustration, and even anger over my "caregiver" status. Through it all, though, i've discovered a few marvelous things.
"Caregiver" or "enabler"? It's kinda like the difference between Mother Teresa and Dr. Kevorkian. Choose Life.
Yes, a stark contrast. But it gets our attention. The first represents true compassion. I believe the other grows out of pity.
Pity invites all of us to its party and leads to despair. Accept the invitation, you're hooked. True compassion, on the other hand, refuses to join the party. It offers you a ride home.
Christ says let your yes be yes and your no be no. Say yes to compassion and a resounding NO to pity. Free will is a wonderful gift. Choose wisely.

Caution, Sharp Curves Ahead
A new day. Every one of them is precious. Even a bad day can have a bright moment. Maybe on that day, you're it. So find a Bright Spot in you.
He's there somewhere even on bad days. When you think you're really wacked out, you're not. God is just changing gears 'cause maybe there's a dangerous curve ahead. Slow down.
God is good.
