Preaching from t he heart

 In today's Gospel from Mark, Jesus condemned the rich and praised a poor woman who gave all she had.

I talked about wanting to be honored and given the best seat. I've been like that.

But now, with  the President elect, my friend fighting for his life in  Yale/New Haven hospital, my child in a life changing position, my injury  still effecting me--I feel poor.

But someone called me about her husband being near death and I was comforting to her.

Even when we are poor--we are rich in compassion, care and love.

Just that.

Chill today

The unusual warm weather of this week ended today.

I don't like the cold and it is cold outside.

I even have a heater on beside my desk though the house is at 68 degrees.

I also don't have a sermon ready for tomorrow.

Alas and alack....

I need to pull it together.

 

Take heart....

 All is not lost.

The Dodgers beat the Yankees and Trump beat Harris.

But all is not lost.

Have hope and courage and longing.

Ponder how to live the next four years.

Reach for the stars.

You may catch one....

Who knows?

Time to ponder

 I've had time to ponder the world I live in since yesterday.

Pondering is one of my best traits.

We survived Trump the first time--why not this time?

How many millions of people who voted for him voted against their own best interests?

Pray the Democrats win the House--that will give them a spring-board.

I'm so glad to live in CT--a truly Blue state!

Stay awake and alert.

It won't be an easy ride.

Worst of days

 Not only is my oldest and probably best friend on life support in Yale New Haven Hospital. One of my children is facing a hard decision and Trump won the election.

Not a good day, still recovering from a broken thumb and a crack in my shoulder.

At least I have lots of pain meds and wine to get me through.

Things could be worse--though I don't know how....

Pray for me....

 

So much to explain

 My computer is so screwed up it was hard to get to t his page.

I have to use my finger instead of my mouse for most things.

So sorry I haven't been posting--but it is a challenge.

The vote is almost over.

We'll probably know by Friday who will be president.

I'm a mess.

My oldest and best friend is in Yale/New Haven hospital totally out of it. Spine breaks and brain bleeds.

I can hardly believe it.

And Trump may win.

God help  u s!!!

I'll try to get things fixed and be back with y ou.

Shalom....

 

Better still...

 I haven't worn my sling today. Shoulder is feeling good. Right thumb cast makes hitting the space bar a little tricky--but not bad.

Bern and I voted this morning at the town hall.

They were very helpful and diligent--lucky to live in Cheshire.

If Trump wins I'll be suicidal--pray for me.

The next few days are tense and dreadful.

We shall see when we see....
