Sunday Reflection: Love Is An Opportunity

Leave a comment

It’s important to entertain the least of these in the world. We never know what their back story is. Love requires that of us. It also means that you have a chance to impact the lives of people who need it. The opportunity to impact the course of someone’s life is exciting.

Taking care of those who aren’t pretty or polished is a challenge and requires our better angels to do so. In a world where people need love, we have to be willing to be brave and bold.

So my friends learn to do good things that can change the direction of people who need love more than anything.

There’s a fine line between stoogey and dopey. I am not sure which side of that line I fall on. I guess it doesn’t matter, either way, it’s all good.

By the way, everyone is a little stoogy and/or dopey.

I have watched Starship Troopers on my birthday weekend for years. It’s bombastic science fiction satire at its finest. I like that stuff. Would you like to know more?

Flashback Friday – Wired For Sleep #FBF

Three years ago I had a sleep test that required me to be all wired up. It’s an interesting experience. This was also the evening before my father’s funeral so it was something I’ll never forget.

I look lovely, right?

One side has policies and acts for the middle class while the other holds rallies and is actually friendly to corporations and the like.

Also…

Why defend corporate tax breaks when most people won’t benefit from them? Also, why not support college loan forgiveness when many people will benefit from it? It seems that greed and selfishness are moral failures here.
