Contrasts

At 2:00 we were at a shower for two children.  Karter and Jeremiah are newly adopted (2 and 3 years old).  They are great kids, with child like enthusiasm.  The love to color and play cars.

At 2:30 we arrived at our local seniors manor.  There we met a number of our church adherents and members.  We enjoy their long lives.  Some have dementia, others have bodies that don’t function the way they did when they were three years old.

All have life from God.  And we celebrate their lives.  Young and Old.

As I lay me down to sleep

Both my wife and I headed opposite directions today.

I was down the road to Rosetown with the Elders of the church.  We were inspired to consider what we can be doing as a church.  And how to get there.

Jill was down the road to Kelfield – population 3, provided the old man has not died recently!  Actually they were just outside Kelfield cleaning a farm house for friends to occupy.

She came home tired.  And energized.  I came home energized and am now tired.

Good night to all.  May your Sunday prove to be a time of good will, peace and joy found in Jesus Christ!

I love good music.  I love music done with the heart.  And when it comes from around the world (and is, incidentally, from my era!), it’s great.

My sister emailed these links to two videos you may want to listen to!  Just click on the song!

“Stand by me”

“One Love”

Two young men.  Two different stories.  Two windows into the soul.

I find that people are  the same.  They have history that encrusts them.  They have futures that invite them.  They have perspectives on both that can enslave or free them.

Both of the young men today are in the transition stage.  They can choose a picture of health or hell.  That’s where they are unique.

My hope is that, in my passing on a bit of the message that God gives, they will choose a picture of freedom.  Pray for them.  I am!
