It’s a good practice to not get worked up about what some people say in the comments. However a well meaning response to a post can be taken seriously wrong by people who think they know more about something than you. I responded to an article about two people leaving a TV show and my comments were not met with a great deal of understanding. If I have learned a lesson here is that I am overly sensitive and maybe I need a thicker skin. Aren’t there more important things to get worked up about?

The Sunday Evening Blues
This is how I feel on Sunday evenings. Monday is coming too soon.
Transfigured On The Mountain For Life Down In The Valley
When you have a mountain top experience and you see something change before your eyes it can be a moving spiritual experience. Transformation or transfiguration is something that blows your mind in such a way that you kind of bask in the light that shines from it all.
The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported in the New Testament when Jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. In many Christian traditions this event is celebrated yearly as a feast day.
Encountering the divine in such a way adds comfort, peace and a desire to rest there. However that is not where life is meant to be lived. You have to take the experience of the mountain to sustain you and keep you through the dark times in the valley below.
No matter your faith there are moments and places that give you comfort and renewal. Celebrate those times when you find yourself transformed a little and may you find comfort to get you through life.
Sacrifice For The Greater Good, Just Saying
Sometimes sacrifice is necessary for the greater good. Giving up some of what you have to make things better for all is a noble gesture. It’s not easy but the rewards are plenty. If one has lots and some have none then why not give to make everyone happy. Doesn’t a win-win situation work better than seeing suffering in the world. What’s in it for us is always better than a self-centered approach. Greed for lack of a better word is so not good, just saying.
