Today begins Chattanooga, Tennessee’s Riverbend Festival which is a week long music and community festival. Tomorrow Heart featuring Ann and Nancy Wilson grace the Coca Cola Stage to rock out on their classic hits from the 1970’s and 1980’s. Here is their 1977 hit Barracuda. I will be sharing more about Riverbend throughout the week.
You know what day it is, well you know because it’s in the title of this post. Have a swell day good people. The weekend is upon us. Have a great one!
Thursday is done. Friday is on its way. My day ahead is going to be really busy.
Before broadband and fiber optic Internet you had to dial-up by phone using a modem. The connection was as fast as your phone line and computer and how far away you were from the phone company. The struggle was real back then.
If a friend or coworker is of another faith or none at all don’t think how can I convert them, love them first and get to know them. Perhaps they have a good reason to believe the way they do. Your path to the afterlife is validated by respecting theirs. Love thy neighbor, as thyself… Jesus meant that. God is love and we should be that too.
Today is National Best Friend Day but it’s OK not to have a best friend. My spouse is my friend but not my bestie, that is a different sort of relationship that is way more intimate and special. I have always thought friendships are tough and demanding and in this temporal world we live in there is a lot of life transitions that define what and how long friendship is. I think there is pressure to maintain a platonic partnership like that because of the time and energy it takes. Some tandems have made it work over the years but others have gone their separate ways. It’s OK that I don’t have one. There is no sob story there. It is just the reality of my life.
