Celebrated on many countries in one form or another, Here in America it’s about Turkey and other foods indigenous to North America; It’s also about shopping for some, early “deals”, for Black Friday, It’s about getting loved ones together for food and football and maybe watching a parade, maybe throwing a football around too. I’m …

Gratitude. Have it. That’s the post. Good time of year for it.
Lion Lessons
Remember the ethos: We Serve. Let that guide all actions. Remember that fellowship, regardless of the basis or depth, should be celebrated. All phases of the project went pretty well. 225 turkeys, 175 gallons of milk, and cartons of eggs, hundreds of dry goods and cans collected, sorted, packed, delivered; many hands made for lighter …
Lions Work: Delivery Day
Today (Monday), it’s the final push. Tens of boxes and two pallets piled high with milk and turkeys become two boxes each of Thanksgiving Dinner, plus some staples, for 220 families. Final sort, final load, final prep for delivery. We HAVE to come through. A thousand people count on us, on this program. And so …

Longing Languish

Wishing, praying for a good night’s rest, Becomes a test of skill, and will, to calm and control, Did I sleep? Yea, sometimes hard to know. Intentional breathing, counting, repeated, seeming, To be the way and find the …
