An American Meal, Before Independence Day

Tonight I prepared us a meal of smoked sausages with cheese and tater tots. This is a great meal for Independence weekend.

I was introduced by A.L. Gates by my wife who went to school with him a very long time ago. He is wanting to build a readership from all over the world. I met him a week ago and I found him to be snarky and interesting. Check out Mr. Gates who is becoming a master of the Macabre.

It’s raining, it hasn’t rained for so long. I am glad it’s raining. Maybe it will lower the temperatures and pollen while its at it.

The Genesis/Origin Of My Prior Post

I felt myself being baited into political discussion happening on Facebook today. So I took a step back and said, advance peace on this Sabbath/Sunday. Perhaps there needs to be one day where there is some silliness, lighthearted stuff, even sacred things mentioned. Perhaps we should lift one another up and take care of one another. Let not the issues of the day ruin us and tear us down. Peace y’all.

Spreading Peace Everywhere

May the peace of the Lord be with you.

May the peace of your creator sustain you.

May there be peace in our hearts so it can be in our homes.

May peace be in our homes that it spills out into community.

May there be peace in our communities that it spreads into the world.

May there be peace universal, global, in eternity

May peace be in all of time and space throughout all dimensions.

May you have that kind of peace always.

Christmas In July…Joy To The World

We are watching Christmas movies on The Hallmark Channel here in the USA. I am already thinking about decorating trees, egg nog, sugar cookies and the like. Right now we are about a month away before decorations appear on shelves and another 3 months before egg nog is in the stores. Right now it just Christmas in July.
