The Lusitania and Sinking My Old Mental Maps

Good Day, God! Oh sigh, O DRAT! It is alway discomfiting, God, to have to rewrite history as I learned it. The Lusitania was sort of a sailing Pearl Harbor, circa 1915. Great Britain was in what was know as

Victorian Gardens, Famines and White Flour Lives

Thank You, God, for our being on this trip! Thank You that the volcano’s cloud is no longer stopping planes — and, yes, it would be wonderful if we don’t see a repeat of that Power of Nature Exhibit. I

Moon jellies and me

Good Morning God! I must say, I feel rather like these creatures — gently moving up and down and over — no real sense of direction. It is quite lovely, actually. These creatures are not rushing, Now, this morning we

Poppies and People

Thank You, God, for Poppies! I guess poppies are right up there with Native Grasses, God, as far as trendy goes.  These were part of the landscaping in a nice area off of Third Street — a newly trendy part

The busy little pigeon — and me

Ah, Mornings!  This is a photo from yesterday morning when I was breakfasting and talking and then PRAYING with a dear friend. You know, God, we are ALL in need of prayer.  But, every once in a while we KNOW

Aurf! Dog training and Me

All creatures, great and small — You made them all.  Other living creatures are a mystery to us, God.  Well, actually other humans are a mystery — and come to think of it, I am pretty much a mystery to

Raining, reigning and restructuring

Ah, God, You send the clouds as well as the sun.  Clouds that bring rain — or maybe just a cooling passing shadow.  Rain water is truly a gift.  And You make it to fall on the Just and the

Pray FERVENTLY, Pray and FAST

Well, God, one doesn’t appreciate what works, until one gets a good look at what doesn’t!  Our government comes in for lots of complaints — but then looking at Haiti — at a government that seems only for the benefit

Unknown Variables and THE Expert

Good Morning, God.  Here I am — with my thought for the morning.  It’s the difference between expert advice and tradition.  Expert advice is something people have proven scientifically SHOULD work. Tradition is what HAS BEEN WORKING. What brought that

Cleaning up after myself

Ah yes! I get to the end, God, and realize I am still stuck on asking for help! Or as Suz told me this morning. There is a hole in you that cause my explanations to drop right through. No more explanations until we FIND THAT HOLE — or probably THOSE HOLES. Well, let’s do it!
