Able Magwitch

At times in our lives Abel Magwitch sits us on a tombstone and appears to turn our lives upside down.  Never can we tell however what the Magwitch moment means for us.  Sometimes a lifetime is required to understand. 

Malfunction

Wondered off a bad one yesterday.  Had about a two hour lapse in brain function.  Elizabeth found me down by the U.S. Bank on Center street.  No memory of how I got there.  I do remember being really cold.  It is a really odd feeling to find yourself in a seemingly strange place with no memory of getting there.  Takes a day or so to shake it off. 
Feeling good today. I don't think I will ever get used to living with a malfunctioning melon.

Darkness

Please disregard the previous post.

Hatred, revenge and vindictivness seem a better way to be!

The list of people I hate and wish the worst for is rather long today. 

I'm sure Jesus was right, but today I choose darkness.

Moral philosophy

I don't know what you believe Jesus to be.  One thing is certain.  His moral philosophy was absolutely celestial in its perfection.

Turn the other cheek; pray for them that use and hate you; forgive and forget.

Thoughts that change people, lives and societies.  

These are nearly as hard to achieve as they are blessed in their results.

Daughter

My six year old daughter had a seizure this morning.  Scary.  Not sure if we are hoping for it to be blood sugar or something else related, but I surely don't want it to be epilepsy.

She has done okay the rest of the day.  Damn these bodies sometimes!

Dad

Dad always told me that life is not fair.  He was right!

Unimaginably sorry is often our plight in life.

How to get through?

Hook

As is common with my bus trips, there was an interesting individual yesterday on the C  bus. 

This is no joke; at the third stop after I boarded the bus a large, well built bearded man entered the bus.  I only took notice because he was uncommonly large.  Upon further inspection he had a very large hook where his left hand should have been!
Being of a sensitive disposition I only stared for a minute or two. 
Although I am sure he is a gentle soul and that I have completely misjudged another of God's children, his size, beard and hook made him a menacing sight. 
Having recently viewed a few of the more emotionally disturbing movies in light of Halloween, my imagination was running wild by the fifth stop. I was glad to escape with my life at the 7th stop.
