Saturday On The Tennessee River #Chattanooga

A lovely Saturday afternoon on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, TN. May your day be just as lovely.

The Old Web Days

Do you remember when the Internet was a more fun place to be? Billionaires have bought up sites like Twitter and Tumblr, where people share stuff and connect with one another. There were dozens of sites where people could set up blogs and share photos but nowadays it’s just a handful. In this case, pining for the old days isn’t all that bad.

The Internet is becoming the bargain bin of the 21st century. It’s about Amazon these days.

If it weren’t for blogging I wouldn’t have many of the friends I have today. I hope that Facebook and other social media platforms won’t be the last things to stand.

Status Update

A new day is dawning and it’s different than yesterday. Let’s see how this Thursday will go. Grace and peace and love to us all.

Thought Of The Day 10252022

It costs you nothing to be kind, nice, concerned, compassionate. However, it will cost you a fortune and your soul to be mean, spiteful, racist, homophobic and other evil things.

Sunday Reflection – Worthy Of Grace

Working for justice is an important act of love and peace. It requires a lot of us. Caring for the least fortunate is humanity in practice. There are some who are by society’s standards aren’t desirable but they need grace the most. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is worthy of forgiveness.

I think compassion is in short supply and we need to generate more of it. My friends may we all be humble and extend arms that embrace those who struggle in life. May the creator be with us all as we live imperfect lives.

People are worthy of grace in abundance no matter who they are. Let’s hope we all learn from our mistakes and seek to be better and do better.

(I believe in what I just said in this post. However, there are some who need to be held accountable for their actions that have done great harm to others. They are worthy of forgiveness too but they also must ask for forgiveness for what they have done.)

Giving Blood On A Sunday

I donated blood today at Church which brings together a couple of worlds of mine. Twice a year we do a blood drive which I organize because it helps those in need. In full disclosure, I work at Blood Assurance which is our regional blood bank that brings a mobile donation unit to the church. We do this as an outreach to our community to provide life-saving blood to patients in the hospitals we serve.
