How the Lord’s Prayer saved a 9/11 survivor
How the Lord’s Prayer saved a 9/11 survivor
His talking about this event has several ways he expresses himself that just resonate with me, to my very toes - beginning w/ the ending, where he talks about what will happen when he dies. Also - how he describes the scene, and how he describes the cloud ... how he describes his sense of Jesus when he was actually still in the building ... and how he reminds us of the thousands of acts of good/God that day <3

Small-Town Life (an occasional series ...)
It was around six in the evening, maybe, when I took CoCo out last night ... a lovely, cool but not cold, perfect for walking!, time of day, and here is what we saw:
There was a mom, on a bicycle, with her two kiddys, each of them on there own bicycles - and the mom had the family dog on one of those leash's that connect to the spokes of the bike! and what looked to be a Golden Retriever was very happy!
And then there was the guy-kid ...
I call him that because he looked like one of those early middle school students who is still really pretty much a kid, but his body has suddenly gone into adult proportions ... he was on a bicycle, one that he was very familiar with riding, because he was able to coast along with no heads AND keeping it steady on ... and he needed to do that because he was on one of those cell phones that you need to speak into like a walky-talky ... his "I'm changing!" adolescent squeak voice announced to his buddy, "You know Samantha? Well she has my number and I have hers!" with obvious pride! It was just so small-town innocent - like the picture of how you wanted your son to be growing up ....

Environmental idea, quashed
You know, I live in this very small little town here ... now, I certainly need to maintain my vehicle! highway driving ; 16 miles to the nearest big city and all -- but I had this thought:
How often do I go right around here for errands, in a very small radius???
Wouldn't it make more sense to have - well, how about a moped?!
Now, this sounded crazy, my initial thought - after all, I was never able to master a two-wheeled bicycle -- but then again --
Moped = motorized ped!
Hmmm. Well, I don't know. I just don't know - so -ok - I figured the best place to figure out if this is workable for me or not would be a dealership that had staff ... and so I went online to do research --
Nearly 5K?! Are you out of your minds?!!!
You know, as much as I love this small town ... well ... its made me anti-the-environment. The recycling is so non-user-friendly, I can't participate in it anymore (its voluntary here) and I really do feel bad about what I stuff in my kitchen trash ;- (The recycling is a WHOLE STORY. If I haven't already shared it on this blog, and/or you want to know what that's about, let me know, please.) And now -- this --
Sigh.
