It's refreshing to see you just lay it all out there. The older I get, the easier it is to shine a light on my fussy days and ways. I like that you circle right back to God and find Him right there waiting.

Janet, Thanks but lordy don't I often resist! God gets in the moment I am too exhausted to be hateful or bitter or nose-out-of-joint. I do wonder if it's not a "second-half-of-life thing too. Blessings Be Yours, Linda

Steve Biko, speaking in 1975 to a group of black ministers in South Africa: “I would like to remind the black ministry, and indeed all black people, that God is not in the habit of coming down from heaven to solve people’s problems on earth.” We are the hands and feet (in your case, the driver) to put faith into action. God through us, his power and grace, in us.

A wonderful reminder, considering this week's lectionary. From Israelites' complaints about the food to James' admonitions to DO something, we can all put ourselves to work at bringing the kingdom of God to earth. Your point is driven home <groan>, George. Thank you. ~Linda

Oh Mel,

I so wish we could just curl up with a nice hot cuppa and swap stories. I get the feeling you're walking through some tough times. Yeah, me too. Love you! Linda
