Paper phone book
Yesterday a thick paper phone book was placed by our front door. i immediately took it to the recycle bin. Say it with me, “Google”.

 

Patience.

Worry.

Calm.

Uncertainty.

Peace.

Surrender.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Please forgive me for being a hypocrite

Please forgive me for being a hypocrite. i try hard not to be. Being a teacher, i should be living the ideals as an exceptional role model.

But alas, i’m only human.

Perfectly imperfect.

As tempting as it constantly is, let no judgement or opinionated thought permeate my being.

Ever.

Lofty?

Heck yeah.

Impossible?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Up to my neck in gratitude

Quote about achieving peace
Yesterday from Facebook, source unknown.

 

Up to my neck in gratitude which feeds and nourishes my soul against the devil’s weapons:

  • Regret
  • Fear
  • Doubt
  • Discontent

i continuously study all day, everyday for a test we’d all like to pass, but few volunteer to take.

To willingly give up my life for the life of another.

Please, let’s not tell each other we are wrong

There is no, one, right way to play soccer, but teamwork is essential.

 

Read a fascinating article in which atheists explained what being an atheist means to them. Read about a dozen atheist profiles (provided in the article). Most talked about being happy and finding purpose in a life that has none.

Was reminded that my belief (and hope) is that no belief system would tell another that they are wrong.

Vacation was different this time. Have never been to Sanibel Island as a retiree.

Hoping for many more ‘retiree vacations’.

Having faith that whatever God’s plan is, it will be His will, not mine.
