As Usual, God Shut Me Up

As Usual God Shut Me Up

As I resorted to a whining fit of misery today due to the fact that it was one-hundred degrees and our air conditioner was not working properly, I allowed myself to sink off into the mire of the ego, cussing beneath my breath and simply absorbing nothing but my own circumstance.

Our mountainous town


My husband and I later went to Wal-mart out on the highway, atop a big hill. The view is amazing and you can see the mountains pretty much three-hundred and sixties degrees. We do not have a vehicle, we normally ride scooters but have borrowed our son’s car while he is to be out of town, and given the ride out the highway, going out there to shop is not something we do. So between my little tiny shopping splurge and the car’s cool air conditioning, I was feeling better and then I saw them: a man and a woman on the corner of the parking lot at the highway, homeless.

The couple looked to be about mine and my husband’s age. The woman was in a wheel-chair and held a sign that said, “need help.” It broke-my-heart. I, in my shame, turned away (which adds even more to the pile of guilt) because it hurt so bad to look. My husband told me that they “live” here but are homeless and have nowhere to go. He said that he sees the man pushing her in her wheel-chair all over town (this is a mountainous town). This broke my heart even further. There they sat in the one-hundred degree heat homeless with no hope of getting out of it.

So, once again, there but for the grace of God go I. It never fails; when I start feeling sorry for myself, I am immediately shown otherwise. I am truly so thankful for all that I am and that I have. Once again, God shut me up and for that I am thankful the most.



Angel blessings for a beautiful day! Namaste.

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr...
