This from Francis recently, could not agree more, “As the Apostle Paul exhorts, I encourage you to rejoice in hope, Endure in affliction, Persevere in prayer, and Contribute to the needs of your brothers and sisters (Rom 12:12-13).” #GeneralAudience #Pontifex

Cumulative Angst
Trying to succinctly to explain the angst of the moment, I’m really not able. Ran into a friend at the grocery earlier this week, she asked how things were, I shared some, and tried to keep the story short a sensical, But so much of what I often feel about now, I can’t really explain …
#Gratitude
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? Massive big news, or a tiny success, my reaction is the same, “Thank You, Jesus.” * Whenever anything positive happens, my reflex response has become gratitude. Over what is now decades, that attitude has served me well, and so it is, my …
Delayed Green
Such a blessing, Delayed Green. Not seen yet in my town, but now commonplace in San Francisco, as one example, at least. Such a simple adjustment to the normal settings of universal traffic control, Simple response to simple human behavior, tendency at times to cheat the signal, race the intersection, Deadly result might follow thus, …
Think, Prayer Practice
It’s near automatic upon waking, process honed over my many decades, My brain and soul activating, in these first moments, so important to control for optimum, initial steps into the day, Intent on slow start, easing in, early enough to make an initial, incremental, intentionally positive path forward, Thinking and prayer intertwined, using this brain …
Rigid Apropos
Rigid apropos, I don’t even know, if that’s a thing, But it is for me, a clear expression of maybe best learning for me, Not that I like it - I don’t - but apropos all the same, Rigid to perfection, minimal mistakes, zero best, no room when you’re zooming along, Busy business day, every …
Grateful For Community
This is what I believe in. I'm grateful this community is where I call home. This letter from the district superintendent, 02/05/2025 Santa Clara Unified School District "Dear SCUSD students, families, staff, and community, When times are uncertain, it is more critical than ever that we come together as a community and extend support, kindness, …
The Smartphone, No Doubt
The most important invention in your lifetime is... The Smartphone, No Doubt, no doubt in my mind this is true, Not only mobile audio (and often video) communication available, But so much more really, a pocket computer, at your fingertips, 24/7, Communication, information, entertainment, and so much more, SO MUCH MORE…! Tho’ some might say …
224 Club
Recently I joined the “224 Club”…still getting acquainted, What is the 224 Club? you might ask, The key characteristic of its membership is waking sometimes (often, repeatedly, annoyingly) at 2:24 AM, Brain almost automatically begins to churn thoughts, things I need to do, did, Mind reviewing, evaluating, listing, rehearsing, All good except the timing, built …
Lyrics Post: “Wasting Time“, Kid Rock
Now, for something quite different from the usual fare of late…the lyrics go like this…deep breath… “I'm a pimp, you can check my stats And roll in a Fleetwood, that's how I mack I rock all the tracks, so the world knows I love all the girls, smack all the hoes Show love to those …
