Mad crazy thoughts running through my head tonight... where to begin... first... Uber excited for my expected visitor tomorrow... man... just can't put it in to words... in this world that I live... this is now the one person who is able to enlighten all who ever wondered who I was before... to the me I am today... here would be your opportunity to have those questions answered... if you have ever moved from somewhere to where you are now... to have those who knew you best remember who you were... to have yesterday meet what is now today... there is no better word than to say... hum... or whoa... or wow... but now is your chance kids... those stories of awkward life we wish we could forget... yet smile at the most random remembrance... it is that picture of who you were... and the who you have now become... the day you remember being the most embarrassed... and the one that left you with the greatest joy... the moment of being seen and the one you felt forgotten... the moments that molded you into the person that you are today and created the road map to who you have now become... guess what kids... you can get some interesting answers from my past... in seeing who I am today... i have company coming this weekend... and i am very happy to introduce you to the me you never knew... the me who once was... to my oldest and dearest treasure from my past... Cathy Moore... who now calls herself, Cathleen...

I have been alone this week... Jake and I have been without our pack leader... well... let's just say... George has been in Louisiana this week with 10 other helpful pairs of hands... giving themselves in service to someone in need... i am always so proud and happy of the groups that bless others in the name of Jesus on behalf of our church... we are so privileged as a congregation to share our time and talents with others who have a need... near or far... we find a place to lay our hands... to use our gifts... to share our hearts with others... i have been able to be part of a number of these mission trips and am thankful for my memories... but today as I reflect on the conversation of the past week... i pray that the love showered upon those from past to today has left those on the receiving end as fulfilled as those who have given... to be part of a group of people who open themselves up to the needs of others... to listen with open ears to the trials of those who know something you have never experienced... to know that for the greater good... and in the grander scheme of all that is within the world... a gift given from the heart and hands that serve... is a gift from a God that is good... all the time...

Jake had a dentist/veterinarian appointment this week... and depending on your perspective on things... well indeed George is right... yet... details aside... and they should just be left aside....let me say that the ankles that enter our house from here forward are safe from the teeth of a small red dog who no longer has those little front teeth on the top or bottom that would inflict harm upon the ankles of the world... and he has had all his shots and a clean Bill of health... thank you me... you are welcome...

The memory is a funny being... i see so clearly yesterday... those are the stories we share... our pictures are perfect....full of color... scenes filled with love... life... experience... tasted... treasured... it is part of a bigger picture... i see a life before... when time often stood still just based on a mood... the end of a day... the depth of a moment... captured in time...yet brought to life... through the heart of another... one created in unconditional love... that which brought a light into a world that began dark... story less... distant... misunderstood... yet... as time passed and days of darkness became filled with memories of another day... one who was before a time... who gave an all for the sake of a cause... which unbeknownst to you... your time had not come... yet in the sunrise again on another day... which the heart of this one gave life to another... i for one never felt that truth until I dared to dream... of a small love that would fill a place that was never...

Well this is the end of the first day of possibly many or even a few... i have tried to remain positive, consistent, hard, just... and right this moment I do not know how I feel... what I should feel... this is truly a place where I knew I was and yet decided to deny... the disease infests, inhabits,  enables the distrust to enter behind a steady fast faith... no matter how distant the goal seems to be... the nearer desire... to want to be relived of a heaviness that can only be explained by the action of others... who have been placed in an environment of trust... misfortune... resort... lack of choice... so to end this day in a place of even more uncertainty... no different from the recent past... i wonder outloud... is this really what you had in mind for me... again...

Interesting observation today... i attribute it to society and our lack of patience... our need for speed... lack of consideration... a commodity of time... and while these all mean something of the same... here i will begin this diatribe... i was waiting at the stop light today... the scene played out much like this... the cross traffic to which I was waiting had been brought to a halt due to 3 senior aged women...waiting patiently for the walk icon to flash on the stop light... one gentle spirit was with a walker... this was during a busy time of day and frankly on a corner that were you to step off to soon...at this particular corner of town those who are approaching tend to do so with speed... to which you could easily be sent to your reward... these were and had been waiting patiently for the icon signal to change from hand to walk signal... to which upon progression thru the walk lane... albeit a slow and steady pace... they were met with again the held up hand... traffic all...
