Help Yourself

... no amount of help can do for us what we need to do for ourselves. (Thomas Cleary in Dhammapada, p. 89)

Ordinary Moments

Ordinary moments, Extraordinary grace.  Lord, let me see beyond this day to the precious gift of life I've been given.  (Soul Searching, p. 87)

Keep It Simple

Today help me keep my life simple and full by living life one moment at a time.  (Body, Mind & Spirit, 5 Feb)

Giving Thanks

I give thanks, Lord, for every precious day of my life.  (Philip Zaleski, Daily Guideposts, 3 Feb 2007)

I'm Back

Hello, everyone.  In September 2006 the computer I was using to access the Internet took a lightning hit.  I decided I'd take a break from using computers so much rather than buy another computer.  I decided to send and receive Email from the closest branch of the county library.  Until recently this has worked reasonably well.  Once in a while I also stopped at KMart to use their computers.

This week I got some advice at a computer store which allowed me to fix a mouse problem with a Dell laptop computer that I received as a gift.  Now, after spending just $14.00 on a optical mouse that connects to the USB port I'm back online.

I plan to resume making updates to this Blog from time to time.

 

 

Growth

Lord, help me grow and demonstrate signs of growth.  (Christ in Our Home, Day 234)

I've Been Away

We were out of town on vacation for about a week.  Since we got back home I have been dealing with computer problems.  My computer for access to the Internet is broken and can't be fixed.  I'm trying to make a laptop on loan work for Internet access.  That's not going well.

God, give me the courage to allow spiritual experiences to be part of my life.
