Houston, We Have A Problem

Sitting in the Houston International airport, waiting to board a plane to Atlanta, then another to Walt Disney World (home), and reflecting on this visit. There are many “problems” in Houston. Big “problems”. Medical “problems”.

Cancer from A to Z. A cornucopia of life-threatening illnesses. Infants, toddlers, children, youth, young adults, middle-age, seniors. There is no discrimination here.

Everywhere you look, there are hospitals and medical centers catering to those in need. Houston, you may have a problem, but you have a ton of dedicated and committed people working 24/7 to solve it.

Houston, you figured it out before and you’ll do it again. Please keep doing “work that matters”.

To the rest of us, are we “problem” solvers or simply a problem?

Sunday Night Conversation

Ever have a casual conversation, and almost invisibly, a “truth” is revealed to you? Happens frequently doesn’t it?

Two nights ago while eating dinner and talking on speaker phone, my Mother-In-Law (88) was describing her Sunday. She’s always the last to leave Mass, because my Father-In-Law (85) walks incredibly slow these days, she told the Priest how much she liked his Homily (sermon).

The Priest commented that no one ever tells him if they like his preaching.

I guess we take it for granted.

But why?

The Devil Makes Us Think The Weather's Fine
The Devil Makes Us Think The Weather's Fine

It’s such a cliche: When it rains, it pours.

It’s timeless wisdom: The best time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

I think it’s clear, we know deep down inside if we’re a rainy day Christian or not.
