When you’re stuck sitting in a comfort zone, small problems become magnified. Get out of your comfort zone, touch the edge, and you come back with an appreciation for life.
Barbara Warren, 1943-2008
Rest in peace, Barbara. Blessings and comfort to your sister and your family.

It’s not that I don’t have a lot happening in my head, I just haven’t had the words to write it yet. Until then, click to listen to the Emmaus Group Singers sing Eyes On The Prize written by Harry Steward and arranged by Hans Zimmer (for the movie Green Card):
Last night I had a dream,
About a home that was so bright,
I don’t know why,
It has to be a dream.
Why can’t I,
Where will I,
God help me,
Help me find a home.
Just keep your eyes on the prize,
Don’t be dismayed,
Don’t be... Read Full Story

My dad, Amira & I walk the pier at the Kingston Ferry Terminal this afternoon. The sun had broken out and we could see clearly through the water to the sea floor. We were amazed to see an enormous jellyfish with an orange center (Amira said the jellyfish had an orange butt). I looked it up when we got home and found this photo (and below a video). Introducing the Phacellophora camtschatica or the egg-yolk jellyfish.

I sped read through the book of Job night before last. It hit me hard. What a troubling and challenging book! Paul covers very well in his blog what it opened up for me. I went away from the book both encouraged and shaken. If you’ve never read the book of Job… Job was a wealthy, respected man with a beautiful wife and family. The book describes him as the greatest of all the men in the east. An yet, in one day, Job lost his livestock (his wealth), his servants (his status), and... Read Full Story
It Couldn’t Be Done by Edgar A. Guest
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it”;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat... Read Full Story
Driving home from the grocery store today, I spotted a sign posted to the stop sign that read: “lost jackhammer”. Not exactly what I was expecting to read. It went on to describe it, the year, brand, make, color and so on. But what it neglected to say is if it had been on leash or not when it got away…

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting hobbyists from north Georgia, say they found the creature’s body in a wooded area and spotted several similar creatures that were still alive.
The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. However, the two are not disclosing the exact location of their... Read Full Story
