Harvey

My heart breaks watching the human suffering caused by hurricane Harvey. I am sickened and angered knowing this storm is controlled, maybe even contrived by those of another race who have no emotion, no ability to care for individual people; those to whom this is simply another move in the political chess game, adding fuel to mayhem and violence, rushing humanity to the despicable goals of the nwo, ending humanity as we know it. In the midst of this, I say thank you to Zen Garcia for letting me understand the "why," i.e., two bloodlines. I say, “Maranatha, come Lord Jesus come” & while we are here, give us strength to continue the battle, leading more souls to the eternal peace of the Most High.

 

Reflections on Static

Upon review of a year of posting, a more appropriate title might be,"Getting Comfortable with Static," "Growing Accustom to Static," or more appropriately,"Backwards in Static." Now, I believe that life (or at least my life) is just a series of problems to solve - so perhaps "static" is just a state of mind, one which I now must get back to - I don't see a clearing on the horizon - in fact, I have decided I prefer static - static is pleasant - cue "positive thinking." (just as soon as I take care of practical matters like: utility companies not transferring my account - apparently somebody has stolen my ID & SSN & I have a credit rating in the 200's; my internet company just doubled the monthly rate; in changing addresses for health care I have set off a whole domino effect pushing me into mega static status; and that is just the tip of the ice berg.....). And now to get my mother to the dr as her lungs continue to weaken.

Moral: be careful what you think & pass on to others. I believe this life is to prepare us for the next - obviously, I need lots of preparation! 

Banana Republic Optical

Since I mostly wear contacts, I don't pay too much attention when I get glasses (every decade or so) - I just want them cheap. First, I get lost trying to pick them up (in my defense, I have moved to a new small town). The next day, with address in hand, after I pick them up, I get home and notice along the sides is "Banana Republic." I am upset because I detest free advertising all over our clothing, etc. that this culture has submitted too (not to mention not being a fan of their politics). Then, it hits me - I am making a political statement - we are indeed living in a Banana Republic & I wear them proudly (when I forego contacts). You will have to put your glasses on to read 😎.

Summing it all up.......

A Little Pause

As we pause in remembrance today, I grieve for all the lives sacrificed through wars. 

My heart breaks even more for those blinded, not looking further as to why these young lives are lost. Look deeper and you will see the same people finance both sides. Look back through our civil war, revolutionary war, continuing back through history.

Still, God's truth marches on, irrespective of nations, peoples, sects.

form, function, neither

Having accepted that I will spend the rest of my life in a senior citizen complex, I am seeking a very different, more colorful style in my small apartment. I call it modern, but I have been informed that it is actually mid-century modern, thus verifying my dinosauric status. I have been searching for a "statement piece" chair, in a specific color; wavering between something old and something new, just wanting something unique. Unable to decide, I consult my interior designer friend who advises, "choose function over form." Stymied even more, I choose neither. So, if you visit me, you will have to sit in one of those canvas folding chairs, or bring your own. I am not expecting much company.  

dentures, hearing aides, iphone....

...... What do they have in common? Here's a clue: lost dentures, found hearing aides, inability to retrieve messages from new iphone..... Just a typical day in the life of a care giver 😎. May there be somebody to return the favor when this describes me.
