Celebrating Good Friday and Passover

Leave a comment

Today is Good Friday and the beginning of Passover. To all my friends who are celebrating both, I wish you the grace and peace of God, and may this be a time to remember our shared connections. No matter how you are celebrating be sure to think of those in need and who are suffering especially in places of war, famine and distress.

For the Jew, Passover is a sign of salvation, of “God with us” at a particular historical moment in the past. For the Christian, Easter is a sign of “God with us” in the past, but with us now also and at a time to come, as well.

Eight Years Of Blood, Sweat and Lives Saved At Blood Assurance

2 Comments

Today I celebrate eight years with Blood Assurance. My work is in my veins and in the veins of others who I have brought in to save lives. I have worked hard and I feel good about my contributions to the company. Blood Banking is important and I’m glad to have been a part of it all these years. Thanks to all the people I’ve been on this journey with. Here’s to more years ahead of doing work for the greater good.

Pain And Suffering

Pain and suffering go together. However they are different things. One is physical and mental. The other is something that can last a long time and usually involves hurt. I’m going to ponder this more and hopefully it can begin a conversation.

Right Now Is Everything

2 Comments

People find themselves with their heads in the clouds or looking back or looking forward. Perhaps being in the present is the opportunity that’s being missed.

The good old days are not coming back. No one is promised tomorrow. So, all we have is now. There’s good things happening to see just by keeping your eyes open.

Right now is as live as life gets. It’s hard for others to understand that fact considering how tough reality can be and the temptation is to avoid it.

Keep your feet under you and don’t overthink stuff. I’m going to have a hard time with that.

Who Am I?

Leave a comment

The question of “Who Am I” is a deep one. It’s different from who I am which seems to be more of a statement of fact. Both are worthy of some contemplation and reflection.

Who Am I is a lot of things and they are ordinary. I’m first and foremost a human being with lots of good qualities but I’m in no way perfect. A person’s flaws tend to be a great reflection of who they are for real.

I am a product of my past but in no way trapped by it. It’s my hope that I’m able to learn more about who I am in the here and now. People are a product of influence and the times in which they exist. It’s interesting to be on this journey. Everyday is a chance of rebirth.

In reality I’m just trying to live my life where I can be of service to others while having some boundaries. I also hope that in all this that I’m enough just as I am.
