Today I can say it is officially hot. The old air conditioner is whirling away. I have not been on my blog since my Dad died. Seems like a lot of changes come my way this year, some for good, and some rather unexpected. Of course that is life, is'nt it- all about change. Sometimes I want to holler out I want every thing to stay the same. That is when I realize how shallow could one be? Who would want to birth a baby and wish it to always be a baby and not grow. Who would want it to be eternal spring time, well that seems nice, but think of the autumn we would miss.- of the sunsets we would not see- of the snow falls. Who would want to be eternally young, at least down here in a fallen world?
     I inserted a photo I took of our daylilies, we have several types. They will only last for 1 day and then they are gone. Don't you think they are pretty?
     Two of my dear friends have cancer right now. I think they are doing a good battle for living, giving it all they have got. I think they will turn this trial into a positive in their life. They will be stronger and touch others for good.
    I think people should be deeply valued. Do you realize the only thing we can take to heaven with us, is each other?
     They have had alot of news lately about bullying. Coming from a strict church background I was often made fun of in school. My mother had put perms in my hair and it was damaged so badly it had splits and knots all in it. I was ridiculed  and they even tried to put bubblegum into my hair. Who wants to be last in line at school when they choose a sports team. Was I myself ever guilty of making fun of someone? I tried to think. Maybe some where I did. I probley blocked it out being so absorbed in my own little world. No body has the right to make fun of any one, even if they disagree with you. One should never be haughty. One should never feel superior? Somewhere someone said everyone should have one friend that you feel is smarter than you, and maybe one friend that seems not as smart. Don't be surprized if the lesser may sometime teach you in ways you never thought about. Everyone has a life experience that they could share. Most of us want to count. We want to contribute. Why do people not tell you that they miss you, just because you left them. Why don't people reach out and touch one another. So I did, this week I called one of my long friends, we had a nice chat and it felt good. It is not that we make demands on each other, it is just that we need each other.
     As you see the daylily above, so sometimes are lives will be short. Now is the time to make a difference. God gives us life. It is our gift. Never take pride in what you know, as pride lifts one up. Somewhere it says that Knowledge puffs, up. So today i am saying I don't know a whole lot, but I know whom I believe in- the Lord Jesus my Saviour. From my house to yours- cp
