This is one of those times when it become important to pay last respects. My last living cousin from my father’s sister’s family passed away this week. He was probably the most truly Christian person I have ever know. It was the kind of faith and belief I admire, living the message and way more than just spouting the massage and the way.
The service was in Delaware Ohio, we took a scenic way of getting there one we have traveled many time. So many housing projects, apartments and businesses have grown up over time, it was hard to find recognizable signs. So we got a little lost. We did get there, maybe five minutes after the services started.
I didn’t get much done before it was time to leave. Sue drove. Thank goodness she did. If it had been me driving we may have been even more lost.
September 26th photo challenge was “Z”. With no Zebra’s readily available I was limited. I chose zipper.
We had planned to stop at McDonalds on the way to get a bit of breakfast but we were running late. After the service we stopped for lunch. We didn’t go to the cemetery since once we got back to Columbus it would be time for Sue to pick up the twins for their sleep over.
The word is becoming. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader, John Quincy Adams. We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves, Gautama Buddha. What we speak becomes the house we live in, Hafez. When Satan cannot get a great sin in he will let a little one in, like the thief who goes and finds shutters all coated with iron and bolted inside. At last he sees a little window in a chamber. He cannot get in, so he puts a little boy in, that he may go round and open the back door. So the devil has always his little sins to carry about with him to go and open back doors for him, and we let one in and say, 'O, it is only a little one.' Yes, but how that little one becomes the ruin of the entire man! Charles Spurgeon. When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self, Confucius.
The news was a little sketchy today but this article looked interesting. Most people like to look at the stars once in a while. This one is about the Milky Way. We need a dark sky to be able to see it’s full beauty. The article said that with the first quarter moonlight this September won’t bother the view. The crescent moon will be present .The bright central hub of the grand Milky Way is best seen in the tropics. Also mentioned was that the stars of Sagittarius form the tea kettle and it can look like the Milky Way is steam coming from the spout. The Milky Way passes in back of the brighter stare of the Northern Cross. As motion continues the Milky Way seems to split but it only appears that was because of the clouds and dust of background stars.
The photo challenge for today was not quite the challenge that yesterday’s was but I wasn’t to imaginative. The challenge was “words”.
It’s that night of the week that is on the relaxed side of the coin. PIZZA!
Joy
