Just things that I think about now and then.

8/19/22

This is the first blog entry for me. Hopefully I will get it right, or at least head in that direction.

I am enjoying this community immensely. I have found a few kindred souls, and so far everyone has been welcoming. I am enjoying reviewing other's work. I hope to learn as I go from the reviews of my work. It is fun to see other's points of view, and inspires me to try to do my best.

I am looking forward to my journey here on Writing.com

May 1, 2023 Update: I am using this blog as a place for my Take Up Your Cross, Andre's Blogging Challenges, Blogging Circle of Friends, and Welcome to My Reality (as you can probably see from the titles)

TJ-there's NOEL in Christmas

In response to "Just a small update"

I got my shots a month ago and we will be spending Christmas with in-laws; I don't think most of them like me, so I tend to sit off to the side most of the time we're there. I'd rather stay home, but I do get along great with my mother-in-law and attend for her. At 89 years old I try and do what I can to make her happy.

Thanks for the reminder about the shots. I need to get that done. And the shingles, which I have been putting off for a while.

It's too bad you won't make it to Michigan this year and I hope they send you lots of wonderful photos! I guess you'll be stuck with us - your WdC family, lol!

Thank you for the lovely trinket! It's such a cool image!

In response to "TUYC - on brainwashing"

I don't believe in the Apocalypse; but, why not be spiritually present every day? That I can understand.

I think that there's a certain fear of the future and the unknown. Solution? Look around. Be present. Be joyful for all the Beauty surrounding each and everyone of us.

In response to "It's been a couple of weeks"

I haven't gotten anything done in here since Wednesday and will likely write a bit in my blog later. Right now I'm expecting company so I likely won't get much time in here until tomorrow. But, the time I spend is enjoyable and I just wish I had more time to spend. I'm sure looking forward to the mischievous fun. Hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving!

In response to "Weather or not..."

In the southern hemisphere, the weather is equally confusing. I loved your poem's punchline, a surprising thought that made me laugh.

In response to "Weather or not..."

Great poem and very accurate. I'm still waiting to change over my summer clothes for winter because I need both depending on the day. Yesterday was freezing rain, snow, and a bitter wind. Today was calm and barely above freezing, tomorrow is supposed to hit around sixty.

In response to "TUYC - Nov 4th - Times of Noah?"

Yes, we all die someday. But, not all things come in predictable cycles. Yes, there have been Teachers, most seldom heeded I may add. Noah was Noah. Moses was Moses. Jesus was Jesus. And I could list others that most Christians neither acknowledge nor respect.

And yes, we go about life (as we should) until the day we die.

I'm not a believer in the Apocalypse. In my opinion it makes people not care about doing anything about the present. "Live fast. Die young!" is how it was put in "Rebel Without a Cause". I care deeply about fellow humans and all Life with whom we share this Planet.

Worried? Anxious? There's a lot of angst going around; but, there is much that can be done about the pitfalls of modern life.

What I remind myself:

1. Look around you? See the beauty! Don't buy into fear.
2. Love is an action verb. Love thy neighbor? Sure. Now love your enemies; then, try to understand them.
3. Let science (there is more than one p.o.v.) help provide answers to physical and biological events. There are answers to climate change and epidemics for example.
4. Let Scripture (there is more than one book of guidance) provide answers to spiritual questions.
5. Use critical thinking. Science and Scripture are like two wings of One bird. Heed them and let humanity fly.
