LOVE 'N STUFF


STEVE E THINKING
(I know that is unhealthy)


Just some Saturday night thoughts--no story tonight. I'm in a reflective mode. Cannot say more, because 'Big Brother'--actually, 'Little brother' is watching...

First a short one:

A woman at a bank asked the cashier to cash a check for her.

Citing company policy, the cashier asked for her identification.

The woman gasped. Finally she managed to stutter, "But, but Jonathan, I'm your mother!"

While I might think this is funny, how is it then, I fail to recognize God? God, Who is "Always and Forever" Everywhere? God, Who's very Nature IS Love?

Love is everywhere. Once I have found it...never let it go. I need not seek it, nor discover it, just recognize it. Louis Armstrong sings:

"I see friends shakin' hands
Sayin' "How d'ya do?"
They's just sayin'
"I....Love.....You".

---"What a Wonderful World"


SPECIAL:
And if anyone is in a praying mode today (hopefully, every day?) please pray for PG and Steve E, and for other bloggers who are being challenged these days, and for Mary Christine's safe return home Sunday to those foothills somewhere in the Rockies.


TIP:
Join TSR (The Second Road) sometime today--it's easy. Then come back at 8 PM and join the chat. I'm tellin' ya, if I can do it...ANYONE ( or their dog or cat) can do it! And it IS fun, we'll be there as well as a few other regular bloggers, who shall remain unnamed for the sake of animosity...Say wha?



TRIVIA

"It is a shame that ATHLETICS have become professionalized." Some may agree with Socrates, who said that 2,328 years ago, "somewhere in the foothills of Greece's Pindus Mountain Range".

And yes, you blogger peeps!
Peace to you all, I love you all.
Steve E

in one of the meditation practices i learned, my favorite part is the prayer: "may all beings being happy and safe from harm"

Thanks,

Hi Steve:

1. You and PG have my prayers. Double time.
2. I had been praying for God to un-harden my heart and show me love for a long time, and I got bits and pieces. Then I saw the movie Love, Actually (which was just ok) but at the beginning and the end was the evidence (they said) of love all around us, at the airport, reunion of people all around, kids to parents, grandparents, etc. Really moving.
3. I love Louis Armstrong. Especially when he sings with Ella. RW and I went to see a big band/swing orchestra last night. My fave...

I will be happy to pray for you right now and believe that God cares very deeply for whatever ails you. There is so much wisdom in asking for prayer. Have a blessed day!

Well, I've been thinkin about thinkin today as well. Ya know, I'm just full of the 11th Step right now! Here's something I heard that I thought you might like to get through a tough issue: "God gives us the knowledge and the Power to carry it out at the same time".

We have to get out of the fast lane in order to get quiet. Your knowledge will be found there.

Caution: Big Miracle Ahead!
