Observations

 

That I hurt is no mystery to me; where I hurt can be a source of speculation. Sometimes I can figure out why I am hurting by thinking though my day's activities. Then it becomes plain why I hurt. But it can be a test of humility. Then there are days I wonder why He took the pain away, just when I had made a place for it like a stray kitten. To think I can offer consolsation in  making myself available. When i think about the "who" in the discussion is interesting too.

The sun has just finished rising past the mounrains and the clouds, and I may soon need to draw the drapes to block the sun. The sun rises out of the east, and later out of the far southeast. Then, as the seasons change, the sun will rise again from the northeast. The planet will never stop its  motions, and neither will the rest of heaven. It is  no   mystery why so many religious became astronomers as well, since the motions of celestial objects recur over time and life procedes forward through winter and spring.

One can live life in a dread of anticipation or delight, depending on what presents itself. Advent is not far off, nor is Lent. Prepare; make stright the way of the Lord !
