Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.

Happy June and Happy Pride Month 2021
Welcome to June 2021 and to Pride Month where LGBTQ people are recognized for their contribution to the world. Like a new month the celebration of Pride is a story to be told and written at the same time. The struggle for those who seek to live their truth continues. May this be a good month for us all during the days ahead. Grace, peace and safety.
Memorial Day Reflection #memorialday
It’s strange that Memorial Day is not more sober and somber. The idea of celebrating it with barbecues and parties seem weird to me. Perhaps this should be a day of mindfulness and service. Those who didn’t come home from war should be honored in a different way.
To all who gave the ultimate sacrifice may what you did never be in vain and may all people benefit in pursuing life and liberty and responsible freedom. Grace and peace to you and your families who mourn this day.
May there be peace on Earth. No more bloodshed, no more pain. No more wars
Back In The Audio and Visual Tech Booth This Sunday
I’m running the sound and streaming video for St. Peter’s Episcopal Church this morning. It’s the first time in 7 years since I have done this sort of thing. You can watch on YouTube live or recorded later today. It’s good to serve this way again.
Squirrel Sunday
This squirrel is having a bit of breakfast on the deck this Sunday morning. He has the need to feed on seed.
Being Fussed Over
When I was in the hospital recently for two colonoscopy procedures, I was being cared for by nurses, technicians and a doctor. One thing I can say is that I am not used to being taken care of in such a manner. Being fussed over is strange to me.
Throughout my life I am used to taking care of other people which a part of being a “people pleaser” sort of person. I am used to being the one doing things for others. Maybe I do not want to be seen as lazy or something like that. As I go on in life perhaps I should practice some self care and allow others to help along the way.
Being fussed over is something I could get used to. But then again I never want to take that for granted. Believe me I am trying to get over that pleasing everyone thing.
