...sickening:

...to the max!

...anywhere...any time

...even here in North America

...such human trafficking is increasing

...sickening!

...we know those who are working at rescuing those caught in this horrible lifestyle

...God bless 'em.......!

...quote from a new FaceBook friend:

"Jesus Called:  He Wants His Name Back."

...from one of my own mentors:

...David Roper, up in Idaho, I've long considered one of my wisest mentors, a man older than I, for whom I remain very thankful

...his occasional "E-musings..." are always welcome in my email in-box, like this one from today...words the Triune knew I needed in this early hour

...you are encouraged to subscribe at dcroper@cableone.net

...you, then, will also be blessed by his wisdom, wit, and wealth of insights from a broad range of living life and from unique glimpses of literature

...such as this from today's E-musing...........

...about some dear friends:

...Linwood House Ministries up in British Columbia is a place and a people we are fully committed to, even from a distance, and we welcome times of being with them, as we will have a couple of days with a few of their leaders two weeks from tomorrow...can't wait!

...one of their team is given to great poetic talent, and we welcome what this special lady gives out or her own journey:

...thanks, Pooh:

...one of my mentors, a deep-hearted and brilliant man who lives up in Idaho, often begins one of his missives with a quote from Winnie the Pooh, before taking us deeper into what is stirring in his soul

......such as this quote, which leads me to ponder

Who are you following?  Who am I?

"When going around a spinney of larch trees Tracking Something, be sure it isn't your own footprints you are following."

...indeed...........

...thank you, Pierre:

"What we are all more or less lacking

                 at this moment

     is a new definition of holiness."

                ...Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

...worth chewing on:

...indeed...!

...have been living this out.......

...with a young, pregnant homeless couple

...who have been dropped into our lives

...by divine appointment

...have walked into a whole new world of the disenfranchised

...like I've never experienced before

...can no longer ignore, even in a polite-good-Christian-gentle-yes-the-poor-will-always-be-with-us-so-I'll-buy-an-extra-turkey-at-Thanksgiving-for-those-poor-souls-who-just-can't-help-themselves sort of way

...the plight of the poor, even here in Denver, is beyond belief

...what's "this"

...thanks Mike T....!

...a poem by Wendell Berry:

The Real Work...

It may be that when we no longer know what to do

we have come to our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go

we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Precisely Who You Are...

Humility consists

            in being precisely the person

                        you actually are before God.
