A Glimpse Beyond
I received the poem below in an email from a dear online freind. She is
deaf, and through this work has graced me with a clearer understanding
of the beautiful way of being she has...
Thank you Sandy!
How We Are
By Kathleen B. Schreiber
You hear the sound of laughter,
I see a smiling face,
You hear the rapid footsteps,
I see the stride and grace,
You hear a joyous greeting,
I see a friendly hand:
Yours is a word that's spoken,
Mine is an act as planned.
You hear a shrieking siren,
I see a flashing light,
You hear the blare of traffic,
I see the glare at night,
You hear the lilting music,
I feel the catchy beat:
Yours is the sound of motion,
Mine is the mute repeat.
You hear a tree that rustles,
I see the swaying leaves,
You hear a wind that whistles,
I feel a steady breeze,
You hear a songbird calling,
I see its graceful flight:
Yours is the sound of nature,
Mine is the gift of sight.
You hear the preacher praying,
I see the way he stands,
You hear the people singing,
I see it signed by hands,
You hear the final Amen,
I see the bow above:
Yours is a vocal worship,
Mine is an act of love.

Stumbling toward infinity
Troubled and confused
Today I lack serenity
At least she's still amused

Something Different
I am in the midst of something different. To quote a bit of British
humor, “something completely different.” I think it is called success.
A quick peruse through my bio and archive entries will tell you that
success, in any comfortable form, has often evaded my grasp. Yet, I now
find myself all warm and nervous about the recent turn of events at
work, in my family life, and in my spiritual being.

Preaching
I'm preaching today, and although I don't like to get 'preachy' here
on my blog, I have posted the manuscript for my message below.
Everyone is smiles here this Mother's Day. Sun is shining...Happy Mother's Day to you.

Old and Hurried
Well, another year older and...
I had a wonderful Birthday. Thank you all for your kind comments and emails. You are wonderful blog-buddies!
I have so much to write, but little time before I leave for work...so more later.
I have been asked to preach this Sunday, Mother's Day, and I am
curiously nervous about the preparation... I guess I feel a bit rusty.
heh. Still, I am excited and looking forward to the opportunity.
More later...

Happy Birthday to Me
Tomorrow is my birthday...it just keeps coming over and over every 12 months or so.
I had a lovely dinner last night with Ms. Theo and a couple of our friends…Indian food and a relaxing conversation.
Getting older is not all that bad.
I do remember that my 18th birthday was also on a Sunday. I heard a few
jokes about that, but to understand them you would have had to live in
the days when 18 was the legal drinking age and Sundays were days that
stores could not sell alcoholic beverages and bars were closed.
