Happy Earth Day 2019 #earthday

Remember this Earth Day to take care of our Mother Earth and all it’s wonders. Niagara Falls is a reminder of the incredible power of this world. Everyone should do their part to care for this gift of creation.

Thought Of The Day

It’s very interesting that on this platform strangers can follow your blog and become friends. On Facebook or Twitter you have people you have known for a long time follow you. There is something strange about this too in that someone you think you are supposed to know will follow you and they know some of the same people but you aren’t sure if you know them or not.

I appreciate the strangers here I followed who chose to become blogging friends with me and to accept me for who I am.  People in the blogosphere will come and go but those who stick around become treasured friends.

Sometimes starting fresh with new people can have its rewards.

Quote Of The Day

Families, friends and communities often find a source of courage rising up from within. Indeed, sadly, it seems that it is tragedy that often draws out the most and the best from the human spirit. Queen Elizabeth II

Happy Easter!

I’m just a nerd/dork with a heart of gold. Makes it more fun that way.

A Holy Saturday Comment

Yes, Sunday is coming but its Saturday where we should feel uneasy like the disciples felt. The chaos of that day when Jesus in their minds was dead is something to be contemplated. We cannot ignore that in-between when all Hell seemed to be breaking loose and Jesus’ crew were shaking with fear. I think its that experience that should never be glanced over. For many of us its that uncertainty where faith, belief and truth are tested.
