Processing "The" Transition

Spiritual Transitions, like physical change, are essential threads that together weave the fabric of life.
When change happens a transition is coupled to it...
A baby is born...people become parents...
The child grows... a lively home becomes an empty nest...
The physical body ceases to function... the spirit is set free...
The spirit transitions from a world of man...
Shedding Human Nature... in exchange for a celestial life of everlasting love, comfort and understanding.

So what does it mean to live a "good" life????
Every man and woman must travel from point "A" (birth) to point "B" (death)...
There are NO exceptions to this math equation.
God given "free will" allows EVERY person to choose their path from "A" to "B".
Choosing the "right" path through life is difficult...
Staying on the "right" path throughout life is even harder.

Exceptional people not only choose the "right" path and strive every day to stay true to that path...
They help others who are struggling on their journey along the way.

It is easy to recognize these "Exceptional" people...
They are kind, thoughtful, just and true...
They don't cheat or lie to you.
They stand for that which is good and right...
They raise their children to pray at night.
"Exceptional" people love God and nature...
They oppose a world filled with garbage and hatred.

When these men and women reach "Point B"...
It's clear... really quite simple to see
"Exceptional People" transition upwards... Heavenly

Sunday 3/21/2010 - Sunny Sunday

Does Sunday mean we should be in the same church building, from 10:30am to 12 noon every week??? Hmmm... we (my husband and I)have been giving this a lot of thought. I believe it is important to build relationships, to set a good example, to demonstrate self discipline and to be committed to spirituality... but does that mean the only way to do this as a family is to commune from 10:30 to 12 at our local church each Sunday?? I decided that I am open to trying a multifaceted approach to spirituality, mix it up a bit, keep it lively. So the plan is that sometimes we will attend the traditional Sunday morning service; sometimes we will attend different churches/times; sometimes we will watch and discuss television sermons; sometimes we will watch and discuss Internet sermons; and still other times we will listen to/discuss radio presentations, religious movies, and books. We will see how it goes... For today we watched/discussed a very good YouTube skit that my mother forwarded to me (htt...

Emotional Insights From Gram & Dad

About yesterday's figurative box of leftover, mismatched puzzle pieces... I have given it all more thought... If Dad could fashion "something" out of "nothing"...so can I! Back when I was a sprite young lady of five years... I lived at grandma's farm house for a spell... When our clothes were worn she would mend them... When our clothes could no longer be repaired we put them in the "rag bag"... I think perhaps that I mis-metaphored... I am not currently struggling as a "mismatched box of emotional puzzle pieces"... Instead I am an emotional bag of rags! Let me explain... Like favorite worn clothing items... emotions and feelings can become thread-bare, with holes and tattered edges... the wear and tear of life can take its toll on a person! Here's the beauty... Grandma had these big, old, heavy, metal pinking shears with red handles... Every so often she and I would sit and turn the "rag bag" into perfectly cut, evenly size...

Mothers & Daughters: Different Pieces... Same Cloth

Some of us are cut running against the grain... others of us follow the grain. Many of us have "rough edges"... while others are smooth. Some pieces compliment each other forming a unified whole... Some pieces won't fit or work well with each other no matter how hard you try. What comforts me the most is the innate sense of "knowing"... Understanding without the need for words... Mothers & Daughters are extensions of each others "spiritual existence". 2 pieces of the same cloth!
