Janice, saying that you are just ordinary is sheer blasphemy! The comparison that came to mind was that black and white photos of roses could represent what an ordinary Janice would be like. It just doesn’t cut it! Roses are not black and white but are multi-colored with fragrant blooms (even white roses are not simply white…) that delight my soul; and likewise, so do you.

Beautifully said, Amiga. I look forward to be able to understand how people think, and why they make the decisions they do. I suspect the brain is far more complicated than we can fathom here on earth. My son Mark is always reminding me that before we make judgements, we need to remember the leverage that “time” has in our eternal progression. Give that perspective, I try to error in favor of the best, not the worst, in people. (Notice the word “try”. Sigh!) All to often, I have repenting to do.

I love your last statement: bliss is elusive enough. Amen.

I always love coming upon your stories.
Your family sounds adventurous and interesting,
with complex interweavings.
Mine, being smaller is a bit more boring,
although not boring enough sometimes, I’m afraid.
Imagine though, when we pass through that veil into our next classroom,
how fascinating it will be to discover all that escaped our view here.
Haha, maybe it’s good we don’t know whole stories here.
Bliss is elusive enough.
