 Jesus loves me
                                                   this I know,
                                                                                                        His creation
                                                                                                                                                               tells me so

“For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities –  His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God”. – Romans 1:20

I M Blessed . . . May U B 2

Keep Looking Up . . . His best is yet to come!

This picture reminded me of a life-nugget I once gleaned reading Tuesdays with Morrie where Mitch Albom shares the wisdom garnered from his Tuesday talks with Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor.

Morrie tells Mitch, “I embrace aging”. His positive insight on aging reminds this ever-aging work -in-progress that today I younger than I’m ever gonna’ be again, and to delight in acting accordingly.

Morrie tells Mitch, “The truth is part of me is every age. I’m a three year old, I’m a five year old, I’m a 37 year old, I’m a fifty year old. I’ve been through all of them and I know what it’s like. I delight in being a child when it’s appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it’s appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I’m every age up to my own.”

Some may accuse me of often being stuck in an inappropriate juvenile age bracket, but hey . . . it’s a lot ‘funner’ acting 8 than 78 lotsa’ times 😊

Soooooo . . . how old are you today? Laugh . . . Love . . . and enjoy excavating the childhood joy nugget shrouded in today’s somber ‘adultness’.

Fact or fiction? Truth or theory?  Proof or perception? Reasoning or rebellion? Compromise or chaos? Such are the bi-polar temperaments that sadly characterize and divide our nation today.

It’s not about me . . . it’s not about you . . . it’s not about red . . . it’s not about blue . . .

It is about US . . . the red . . . the white. . . the black . . . and the blue of our United States of America.

The individual uniqueness of human nature dictates that we will never see ‘eye-to-eye’ on many issues this side of Creation . . but . . . may we each strive to see ‘heart-to-heart’, peacefully agreeing to disagree where necessary as we  examine thoroughly; contemplate objectively; choose wisely; and act appropriately facing the contentious issues confronting our nation and world today.

Over two millennia ago, a man who had weathered and led his nation through war and peace wisely scribed,

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” – Psalm 133:1

May King David’s words come to describe the nation our children will raise their children and their children’s children in someday.

“Together we stand, divided we fall”
