Intermittent Musings Of A Middle Aged Mind
An accurate description of what you are about to read!
Is this the tipping point? Can it reach a level that it impacts law, real change and elections (local, state and national)? George Floyd is not a hero, he is not a martyr, he is a victim. It’s not about him, it’s about the 8:46. And to quote my pastor from yesterday, “It’s pain, wrapped around pain.”
George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor.
I know what you are thinking. There is no joy in this. But in trying times, there is also Joy. Stay with me here. I would like to share the Joy of the last couple of weeks. (seriously!)
So it's our 28th anniversary today. If you read my earlier post this week, you know what we are NOT doing together. But as I sit here this morning, my wedding vows came into my head. And was thinking how they look, today with Covid-19 and "Stay In Place/Stay Safe" Order in effect.
Blinded By The Light may just be one of the best movies of 2019. It's one of those movies that "lifts you". It's a movie that's good for the soul.
I don't at all. I don't care where "you land" on this issue. I don't want to hear what you think. But I can't stand by quietly.
That's what I have, vertigo!
Literally and figuratively.
Anger, frustration, sadness and disgust. These are the emotions I have been cycling through…
This has been rolling around my head for a couple of months now. The American Dream. Have we lost sight of it? Do we know what it still looks like? Are WE still fighting for it?
Aren't we so caught up with our busy lives, with things that fill our schedule to the max, responding to the next Facebook/Twitter post that we don't slow down long enough to enjoy what we have...?
We need to take a moment, stop and give thanks... It's simple! Like Charlie Brown simple...
