Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls.

Happy Earth Day 2020
Earth Day is celebrated around the world on April 22 every year to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.
It’s always important to take care of creation and all the things that make it our home planet. Our environment is what keeps us alive. Everyone can do their part to make Earth a much better place to live.
Taxes Paid… Yay, Or Something Like That
There’s a saying that the only sure things in life are death and taxes. Well today was the day that I sat down to work on filing a return. The good news is that $66 was owed which is not bad because you don’t want to pay too much in during the year. Yes a bunch back would be great but you know it could be worse in how much owed. Sure we have a extended deadline due to Covid-19 but paying now means not forgetting about it later.
Above The Clouds
Being above the clouds can help take your mind off all the troubles down below. Clouds can be fluffy and pretty but some have as much trouble in them as what your life is on the ground. Having your head in the cloud is a nice, temporary retreat from the woes of life but you can’t stay there. Sometimes we wish we could store all our problems in the cloud. Whatever has you wishing for the clouds is only temporary. It too shall pass like clouds.
In some ways, climbing in the clouds is comforting. You can no longer see how high off the ground you are.

The Thing About: Patience
In this time of uncertainty, patience is a divine virtue. Have patience with yourself, with one another, with the circumstances we are in. Everyone is going through something and we all wish things were back to “normal”. It is my thought that we aren’t going back to “normal” but something else that will require us to have patience and a whole lot of grace for one another.
Who knows what things will look like on the other side. It will require patience and hopefully freedom from anxiety.
My friends, now is the time to be still, take care of self, have a little faith in something that will get you through. Remember to love one another and yourselves in this very difficult time.
