Back to life!

I did my first posting over six months ago and then... I got sick! Shit happens! But nothing lasts forever and here I am, ready to continue my attempt to have an intelligent, fun, and interesting blog in cyberspace. If you have any suggestions, comments, etc. let me know. I hope to create a safe space where no idea or feeling is stupid or irrelevant. Remember, in this awesome creation, nothing is profane for those who know how to see!

somehow we'll find the proverbial pony, lol. In the meantime,
we can learn from each other how to enjoy the present, pray
and keep on truckin'. I miss you and love you

Jean Becker, O.S.F. said...: Yes, Shit Happens, and God is in the midst of it; God is not the cause of it. I always think of the struggles of Elie Wiesel, Jewish theologian and philosopher. After wrestling with the question of how a loving God could have allowed the holocaust, he concluded that God was in the ovens; i.e. God was united with God's suffering people, not the perpetrator of the suffering.; February 15, 2010 at 4:53 PM

WORDS OF WISDOM

Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.’ And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, ‘He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!’ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, ‘If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!’ There was also an inscription over him, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’

One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, ‘Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!’ But the other rebuked him, saying, ‘Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.’ (Luke 23:32--43)
