Happy Saturday friends! The weekend is in full swing and that is cool. So far today I have dealt with some stuff around the house including recycling and trash, spreading out gravel in our driveway and started laundry. Earlier this morning we had breakfast with my parents and sister. Of course I am checking out some blogs and posting to my own. Iced coffee is in a Coca-Cola glass which is helping me to keep going. There is still other stuff I need to do like tidying up spaces around the house. Today is a day to be productive but to also chill out when I can. It’s going to be a good day, I hope.
Whatever you are doing today I hope its fun. Enjoy the day and of course keep on blogging.
We had these lovely creatures come up to the house today. There were about 5 or so that came through. I was only able to capture these two deer who were wondering about our loudly barking dog who was concerned about their presence. This is a common occurrence in our neighborhood because we are close to forests and woods where they live and graze. We consider them our neighbors and friends.
There are a lot of people who follow me who are way more interesting than I am. You do know I am a middle-aged dork right? Especially you younger folks, I am like the crazy uncle you were told about. Thanks for tagging along regardless.
Former United States President Jimmy Carter is a great man. Not because of what he says which is full of wisdom but for what he has done in his life. He is the greatest Christian missionary of our time not because he evangelizes but because he puts feet to his faith. President Carter’s missions to foster peace in places of chaos have helped make life safer and easier for many.
His work with Habitat For Humanity is well documented as he has picked up a hammer to build homes for those in need. The Carter Center has helped many people with life saving care as well. As a believer in Christ he has sought justice and inclusion for people in the margins.
I am glad the world has had Jimmy Carter in it, lets hope he is around for many more years. Grace and peace to you and yours President Carter.
When you leave an organization it comes after much thought and discernment. Making such a decision requires courage and the willingness to try something new. There are people left behind in the organization. You wish nothing but the best for them, however things can and will change. I have received word that someone special is no longer with the organization I just left. His contributions to the organization have been meaningful to many people.
However, as things radically change in the organization you left, it reaffirms your decision making. It helps you realize how your vision of the future was on point. Now as life goes on, you make your way and find new things and people to connect with. Here is to the future, may it be one full of spirit and opportunity to engage in things holy.
