Shot put detail went successfully today!

Why can't we get on the busstop early everyday?

Laundry? Prep? Breakfast? Its the same everyday, but a cog in the wheel each morning makes the routine a memory, everyday.

Its a harrowing lifestyle, but all too familiar. All too soon, they'll be gone and the hush, like the hush of the hawks nest that I passed the other day will be nothing but a memory.

The memories of the screams and squeals of the happy home. The crazy home, but the happy home.

Catching a second wind?

I remember the feeling of my body baking under the summer sun and then the relief when one cloud would cover the sun and a breath of cool air would seem to refresh in the midst of a match. Especially at Rochdale where there were no trees or shaded areas. The heat seemed to bake into your skin and eyes and then a cloud would cover the sun and it seemed the best refreshment for the moment.

It is spring today in January, maybe they call it Indian summer, down here, but I call 69 degrees a heat wave. I am so glad that I got outside to make acquaintance with a little cloud who reminded me of a cloud that I met when I was a child and playing the longest match of my life. I played and played and it seemed the only relief was that little cloud and I thought I wouldn’t make it another step 3 hours of constant pushing, as they teased us that we were. A bunch of little pushers. Just one more ball over the net. Dad said I couldn’t do it. He was the boss, and I did it. I beat Margo Smiley. 3 hours and I had beaten her. He couldn’t believe that I could beat somebody grown up like that, in the heat of the Rochdale sun. The sun was nearly down when we finished and I was glad it was. I was too hot for words and there was no word for the sense of elation that I had won over my own limitations of myself. I am my worst enemy;now as well as then. Catching a second wind.

Three Kings day has come and gone.

We have to take down the Christmas items. This is a day where the gifts of the Magi are remembered. Great Men still seek the Lord. Using our intellect to worship and follow the True and Living God, will always be the call for the believer. Let us not be those who close our minds and dumb ourselves down, for want of comradery.
Daniel's testimony of intelligence and the fear of the Lord has forged godly influences throughout the cultures. God gave him the liberty to use his mind and authority for the glory of the Lord, in an ungodly government. God blessed the world, during his time and us because of the mission that he was sent on. Don't be afraid to pursue mental challenges, God will always be proven true and every untruth will always, ultimately bow the knee to Him.

Read Good Books, my boy!

Kidnapped, By Robert Louis Stevenson. I am elated. Read with me and see what beauty there is in the revelation of God in the Sapiens of the creation. I love that you chose that book.
