3 Comments

Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle today at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. I woke up at 4 AM Eastern Time today to watch the service because I am such a Anglophile and a big fan of current events like this. Today is a day of joining two people who are doing great things for others.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will conduct the service but the Most Rev. Michael Curry who is presiding bishop of the Episcopal church of which I am a member of will be delivering a sermon so I am excited about that.

The Royal Family along with people from charity, celebrity, sport and the community are gathered together to celebrate this joyous day. This is a happy occasion, love rules and wins.

To all mothers around the world I wish you a very happy Mother’s Day. You are indeed the driving force of our lives. Your leadership and service make our lives better. The things you do to make the world a better place is something to be appreciated and never taken for granted. Mothers come in various forms from biological, adoptive and we cannot forget pet moms. There are women who have no children of their own who have filled the role of mother in our lives. Some men are both mothers and fathers in one package. Grace and peace to you all and thank you we love you.

Something About Having Joy

4 Comments

Joy is something everyone needs in life to make it better. Sure you have happiness and euphoria and bliss but joy is something that seems to be different, more meaningful. There is a old church song I have joy, joy, joy down in my heart and you know that is where it starts. Good things can come from the heart if we are inspired.

In this mean world we live in joy can be the salve that can heal burns and wounds. Joy can be infectious too. When you have joy people pick up on it and hopefully want what you got. I am giving you some joy today and I hope you will spread it around to your friends, family and strangers who desperately need some themselves.

Joy, Grace and Peace everyone, everywhere.

Two Things Happening Today – Cinco De Mayo and Kentucky Derby Day

Leave a comment

There are two important cultural events happening today in America.

First its Cinco De Mayo, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s difficult victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862.

Second it’s The Kentucky Derby horse race in Louisville. This is the 144th annual Running Of The Roses. Justify is the odds on favorite to win today.

So it will be interesting to see the fusion celebrations going on today. Cinco De Derby or Derby De Mayo. Either way there will be a lot of food and drink consumed by those who are enjoying themselves.

Tarnished Icons

2 Comments

Bill Cosby was found guilty of 3 counts of sexual assault. Bill Cosby is also an American entertainment icon who was an influencer and noted citizen, now he faces prison. He like others who are icon’s of culture and have been accused or found guilty of abuse face a new life where they are tarnished and their legend is now a shell of what it once was.

The #MeToo movement has heightened the level of accountability and bringing situations to light that previously were hidden and cloaked. Today one of the great entertainers of our time faces time in prison. Just imagine how many others have gotten away with things because of fear or intimidation.

No woman should face any situation where they are made to feel intimidated, scared or assaulted. Powerful men have taken advantage of their situation for way too long. It’s truly a shame that the Cosby’s of the world have previously gotten away with such behavior.

Tarnished icons, famous people, powerful people are now on notice and for all who have faced a dangerous world maybe things are going to get better.

Today is Friday the 13th (cue ominous music). This is most superstitious of days. For some this is not a pleasant day but for others it isn’t so bad. It’s fun to look at all these things you aren’t supposed to do today but could taking it seriously also be a wise thing to do? No matter your own personal take on today I hope it’s a good one free from all the crazy, mysterious stuff.
