Nick Cave came in the name of his father to keep God Alive

that is a mighty big project, but he succeeds on a certain level for me.








Many will find this a bit overblown,

but for me it was very meaningful.

This is Worth Celebrating





One of the most hopeful things about today'inauguration is that there will be a healing of confidence and a bright example given to millions of people in America and around the world. If people can be freed of prejudice and race hatred the world will be a step closer to realizing the 'kingdom' /'community of the beloved' dream of people like J.C. and MLK

Celebration

We must learn to celebrate. I say learn to celebrate, because celebration is not just a spontaneous event. We have to discover what celebration is. Our world doesn't know much about celebration. We know quite a bit about parties, where we are artificially stimulated with alcohol to have fun. We know what movies and distractions are. But do we know what celebration is? Do we know how to celebrate our togetherness, our being one body? Do we really know how to use all that is human and divine to celebrate together?

- Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, p.45

If It Makes You Happy To Be Unhappy, Then Be Happy

Happy Unhappiest Day of the Year




Jan 19th is officially the saddest day of the year. It has been scientifically determined that more people will feel blue on this day in Canada than any other day of 2009. It has something to do with
1. It's Monday...the start of the work week.
2. Its the middle of winter and oh what a winter it has been.
3. Christmas and New Years are over and we are still hung over.
4. The credit card statements have starting coming in.
5. We've got no more official holidays until Easter.......4 freaking months from now.
6. And because all the good movies were released in the Christmas season and now we are getting such gems as Paul Blart Mall Cop.

Oh well I guess its time to get out the Old Roger Miller Miller CD and sing along to these wonderful words of wisdom.....

"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd but you can be happy if you have a mind to it."
 





So get a mind to it and he happy, one and all.


Happy Unhappiest Day of the Year.
