MEMORIAL DAY RECIPE

This has to be quick. It is hot outside. It is cookin' inside. I just want to say hello and tell you I will be back.

Too many ordinaries evade the extraordinary possibilities, one moment at a time. Like the pot pies in the oven, we just stay hot and bubbling with concerns. Then a holiday rolls around like an inevitable recipe, we plan to cook something.. The question is what.

I hope tomorrow will differ from the dailies. Maybe I'll get to see my ninety-five-year-old father for the first time in months. I want to thank him for his service to our families and the thousands of others he pastored or touched with God's love. Since Trudy's knee replacement is next week, that will delay another trip for quite awhile.

That brings me to memories made and being made. They are Memorial Day in the making. We honor those who served and are serving our nation, our world. Yet, whatever our view on the war, we must give thanks for what is good and what is peace around us.

Along with that, let's remember today is one more gift from God to enjoy and to use creatively or mundanely. It is a day to share. It is MY day, YOUR day to live. What we do with it is Memorial Day. Will it be memorable and why?

That's the boiling question, isn't it?

Welcome to The Journey

You have been on a journey from before you were born. God knew you and called you by name into a journey called your future. What you do while on your journey is your choice. I believe God has direction for you to go that will be the most enriching and fulfilling possibilities . Most likely it will involve the very things you really like the best, regardless of what others think. When you listen to the voice inside you that keeps calling, you will be sure the direction to go. I want to share this journey, yours and mine, and I hope you will tell me about your travels, whether by blog comments or email. Let's travel together into the Land of Discovery.
