There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out”

personal sketch of Florida home
Years ago, a neighbor had note cards made for us as a gift, featuring a hand-drawn image of our home.

 

Have had a box of these note cards – with a hand-drawn sketch of our home – for about 20 years.

i rarely use them because they’re so special and unique.

There’s an unreasonable and unnecessary fear of “running out” of these cards.

To which the me of 2018 says, “So what?”

Enclosing a cash gratuity with a thank you note for a couple who help us out twice a month.

Can’t wait to run out of these cards.

Tim Cook’s greatest gift from God

Have a Gay Day Facebook page
One of my favorite Facebook Pages, Have a Gay Day.

 

Tim Cook said being gay is God’s greatest gift to him.

Why?

He said it is because being in a minority group gives you an empathy to look at things differently.

Until you’ve been in this place, it’s literally impossible to understand.

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.

Keep the medals. Don’t be fooled by two 55-59 age group silver medals. There were only two competitors in the age group. Call it like it is. i was last. Twice.

Never collect any medals ‘won’.

Why would i?

The real victory is simply in honoring the temple that keeps us alive.

God provides this miraculous vessel.

To dishonor it with neglect feels evil and selfish.

A gift? Or a burden?

Was astonished to catch the gentlest reminder that the sun is on it’s way to light another glorious day. One brand new day. A gift? Or a burden?

Cheryl’s Grammy had a favorite Christmas song – Little Drummer Boy. “Shall I play for you….I have no gifts to bring…..”

My Dad was a drummer – professionally, and simply as a passion. And hence, I am a (little) drummer’s boy. I can not play for Him, but what about giving Him some of my time. What about any of us?
