911 0n 9/11

I am musing about:

911 on 9/11/20


Nineteen years ago already.

Our nation, survived. Thanks be to God.

But not without scars, heartbreak and ramifications. Life moved on for most of us. But for many, it would never be the same again.

We have not forgotten.

We must not forget.

May the memory stay etched on our brains and hearts. May we continue to care and pray for those whose lives changed forever on that fateful, indescribable, terrible day. We can not truly understand, but as we try to, may our souls ache. May we care. Deeply.

At some time in the future, Covid will also be a distant memory. 

At least that is our hope and prayer.

But what will lie in it's wake? What will recovery look like? What crisis is next on the horizon?

Scary to think about. So maybe we just shouldn't.

But bottom line, come what may, may we take courage and step out in faith, knowing that the Lord will equip and provide. He is a redeemer.  For " we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

 How will God redeem this Covid season or any time of crisis for that matter, for good? What is good? Ultimate good? Day to day good? Our good, good God knows and understands what is for our own good in ways that only He can know. Somethings we just can not understand. We just have to keep on keeping on. And trust in God. The Provider of the Ultimate Good!

May it thus be our purpose, to do our part to help others come to know and serve Him, so they too can go forward with the same faith and confidence, despite the hard and scary, knowing that "All things work together for good".

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...
