Your Excellency Pope: Pause Before Commenting.

Slow down.
Pray for the right words.
Take a break.
How do you know what's in a person's heart?

Sunday Prayer

A Prayer for Courage

Lord God,
you have called your servants
to venture of which
we cannot see the ending,
by paths as yet untrodden,
through perils unknown.
Give us faith
to go out with good courage,
not knowing where we go,
but only that
your hand is leading us
and your love supporting us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

(Augsburg, 1978)

NY Governor Orders Homeless to Find Shelter

Only If the temperature goes below freezing.
What if the homeless don't obey?
The order sent out by what media?
The homeless "Town Crier", that's the only one they have.
Just another thought: Is it legal?

Just some thoughts

Sunday Prayer

Loving God
             Above All Things

O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee
such good things as pass man's understanding:
pour into our hearts such love toward thee, 
that we, loving thee above all things, 
may obain thy promises,
which exceed all that we can desire;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Book of  Common Prayer; 1662

A New Year Begins

THE YEAR'S AT THE SPRING

    The year's at the spring
    And the day's at the morn;
    Morning's seven;
    The hillside's dew-pearled;
    The lark's on the wing;
    The snail's on the thorn:
    God's in his heaven-
    All's right with the world!

Computer Age

Can we blame the moral decline on this technology?
Technology increased and morality decreased.

The Longest Night

          Winter Nights                                   

Now the winter nights enlarge
  The number of their hours,
And clouds their storms discharge
  Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
  And cups o'erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
  With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
  Shall wait on honey Love,
        While youthful revels, masks, and courtly sights
  Sleep's leaden spells remove.
This time doth well dispense
  With lovers' long discourse.
Much speech hath some defence
  Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well:

  Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
  Some poems smoothly read.
The Summer hath his joys,
  And Winter his delights. 
        Though Love and all his pleasures are but toys, 
  They shorten tedious nights.

Thomas Campion
     1567-1620

God's Strength and Protection

O God, who knowest us to be set
in the midst of so many and great dangers,
that by reason of the frailty of our nature
we cannot always stand upright:
grant to us such strength and protection,
as may support us in all dangers,
and carry us through all temptations;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Good or Bad Muslims in USA?

What's the test?
Hopefully all Muslims do not want to murder us.
"Politically Correct", America's greatest weakness.

Football Concussions

Play without helmets,  there would be no more headbutting.
There would be no more injuries, and sanity is back in the game.

California High Speed Train Stalled?

If everyone knew the truth about this Choo-Choo train, it wouldn’t even got a start on the onset. Nationally, people are wising up and hooking up with a leader that will not accept paybacks to get into the White House. We need a leader like that for California. Little by little we get stuff piled on us; and our voices are muffled to this point and it is too late. It is like the familiar story; “the frog in the comforting simmering warm water pan till it gets too hot and it cannot jump out.” We are there today. God help us.

Go to <Californiapoliticalrevue.com> for more information regarding the Governor's "train".
