With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

The text for this week's sermon was Mark 4:35-41, where Jesus calmed the storm. Pastor, during his sermon spoke of not only those storms that scare us and cause damage, but also those times when life is too benign. He referred to an area of dead calm in the sea, “the doldrums.” It was here he said, where we...went nowhere.

I just finished reading a book. I won't mention the title, because it got great reviews, and I hated it.....so I must be somehow lacking in my literary "panache."
Now, most books have a prologue, a problem, discussion of the problem, resolution of the problem, and postlogue. The book I just finished.......didn't seem to have any of that. It was like watching congressional hearings on c-span. Lots of....nothing.

I finally got a desk for the otherwise useless corner downstairs. With a bookshelf on the other wall, there is now a place to run my "work" computer. I had brought it with me from my office in Nevada, but hadn't found a suitable place for it.
