J.J. J.J. passed away today. Orange in color, he actually was one of Heather's cats. Usually, he was very quiet except when wanting to be fed, which was often. J.J. was our third computer cat, preceded in death by Stutzi and Patsy, also computer cats. J.J. loved to come up to my desk, quietly fold his paws and watch me hunt and peck. He is truly missed by all in our family. We hope to see you again, some day, J.J.

PROVERBS 4:10,11,14 Hear, o my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of thy life shall be many I have taught thee in the way of wisdom I have led thee in right paths The path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day GRADUATION 2020 Whether it be from high school or from a university, graduation is, indeed, a laudable accomplishment. But, as most graduates soon realize, a degree is seldom an end-all, be-all proposition. Rather, graduation is the tying of a knot in our rope of life. The graduation knot much more signifies a beginning than an ending; a graduation toward something as opposed to a graduation from something. It is impossible to change "the way we were," but the possibilities for change toward "what we shall become," are infinite. We can only expect to live in the present as we rush toward the future. The past is past. With these thoughts in mind, perhaps gravitation, in the long run, becomes more significant than graduation. (First Posted May 8, 2013) (Late, published on July 10, 2020) PURE COURTESY "Life is not so short," wrote Emerson, "but there is always time for courtesy." We live in a world of push and shove. In a world of give a little and take alot. In a world in which the courteous person becomes one of the fairest and rarest gems to contemplate. While commenting on the life of the great sportswriter, Grantland Rice, Bruce Barton said, "He had pure courtesy." What a great compliment...one of the finest compliments any of us could receive. Would not our lives be enriched if every thought, or word, or deed were a courteous one? Take time for courtesy. It is a most enviable attribute. (First published on July 25, 2012) (Revisions made on July 10, 2020) HAVE YOU ANY METTLE? My fellow Americans, This is the time that challenges our mettle and our resolve, for there are now many men and women who desire to destroy our country and abolish the liberties and freedoms we enjoy as set up at the beginning of our country. Fifty-nine years ago, thousands of our sons and daughters went to war on two fronts:Europe and the Pacific. Many of them sacrificed their lives and never returned home. Today, we are at war again. But, this time the enemy is not on foreign soil, but rather, resides within the the very shores of the United States of America. Presently, there is a very large contingency that is planning and plotting the destruction of our country. This evil mass of malcontents is bent on destroying every business, church, and statue they encounter. They have no regard for a human life, nor for a person's homes or lands, or property. These thugs do not care about our Constitution, or the Bill of Rights contained therein. Laws and the rule of laws mean nothing to them. The burden of our country's defense is presently carried on the shoulders of the police in each of our cities, President Trump, and a few Republicans. For personal gain, the Democrats, in total, support and encourage the vandals. These vandals must either be eradicated, incarcerated or redeemed. There is no other course. Time is short. The river of our generation is about to flow into the ocean of history. Now is the time to act and free our land of these despots. |
