“...But well for him that after death-day may draw to his Lord, and friendship in the Father’s arms!” I've read bits and pieces of the epic poem, Beowulf, over the last few decades. I'm back at it now, trying again to decipher and appreciate it with fresh eyes and open mind. It is, after all, …

In Wisdom, In Trust
Once again for further GOOD, sharing this insight from a reading prescribed for Saturday. It is from the Book of Wisdom, Chapter 3; There are readings too from the same day, from Romans and John also, but this passage from Wisdom is what stands out for me. "Those who trust in him shall understand truth, …
Come Wander: Work, Saints, Life
I'm going to wander a bit today, so get ready. It's gonna be a quick clip, but it will be short too, so stay with me if you like, I'd love to have you along. I learned (another) important lesson recently at work; as many of them have been in my current job, it's occurred …
Lyrics Post: Dead Man’s Party
This song has a great beat, that’s the hook for sure. And that hook’s what’s got me posting these lyrics, along with the particular theme. It’s a little spooky, just right for HALLOWEEN! The band name is cool fun too: OINGO BOINGO. Danny Elfman was the lyrical and musical heart and soul of the band. …

Really though, it's an effort the challenge Affirmative Action. Two of my great joys: Living where I live. Working where I work. People from Germany, Russia, India, Peru, Mexico, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, …
Neskowin
A special place, Nothing fancy, Just quiet and peaceful, simple joys. And healing, soul time, pace slows to crawl, hours melt away, sunrise, sunset, little in between. Walk the path down to the beach, walk the beach, return the same way up the path. Recollections, stories shared, and troubles, and learning, and successes, solutions, milestones, …
Sunset
I pray God, I pray that the sun will not set forever, that this is not the last one, that I have more time. And in that prayer is the instruction: Do what’s right today; Learn today; Love today.
It May Bear Fruit
This passage from Luke, chapter 13, resonates. Don’t give up; try again; there is still hope; take action with care, try a different approach, Good can still result. Yes. Yes it can. And he told them this parable: "There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he …
