Love love love
so we seem to have an easier time of loving some more than others?
Seems easier to defend cause of the poor and not the unborn?
A bit more complex when a gay couple asks for your acceptance than when a homeless person asks you for a dollar?
Love is unconditional
In Corinthians it says it must be
and it should have no conditions nor remmebrance of wrongs
Why when we want others love so much do we not get that we need to give it too
to EVERYONE
some people hate politicians
political parties
that is still hate
others focus on rights of people and get so caught up in their fight they lose sight of those right near them hurting close friends and family
we get so offended when others do not agree with us
Jesus denied no one His forgiveness
but He did not force anyone either to believe in Him
either you love all or love none
you cannot pick and choose
love the sinner not the sin
this can only be done through Jesus

Cat dish is empty, my lamp is broken, socks strewn all over the floor
this is life with cats
is a cool zero degrees F. outside with a lovely coat of snow on the ground
life is very good and simple
there is nowhere to go and nothing to be done in earnest
slow motion days
wonder why we all run about so much when we need to instead walk and slow the day down
things can change in a minute
a phone call a letter an event
I like the present tense moment am in now
hope it lingers a bit today with no thrills or frills

NEW JERSEY PEOPLE ARE SOOOOO PARANOID
It is a snowy day in January here in Newton New Jersey.
Sometimes when it snows here people get all excited, run to the supermarket and stock up on everything imaginable.
There are literally longer lines before a forecasted storm than in the Christmas shopping season.
Candles, Flashlights, even generators seem to be in demand and lines at checkouts can be grueling, especially if you really just want a quart of milk or a box of soap.
I wonder how people get into such a panic over something that mught not even be as bad as was forecasted. What is wrong with everyone these days when we have to stock so much food to ensure we will survive over A FULL DAY????!!!!
Jesus told us to be anxious for nothing. He did say to be wise but wisdom alone dictates we need not run out for a month of food and water when we will only have a few inches of snow.
Sometimes I think about the wise and foolish virgins.
Those wise ones did have their lamps full, yes.
BUT THEY WERE GOING TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM.
Why can't we be as ready as they for our Lord as we are for the storm ahead.
Seems to me the loaves and fishes story would be a bit more helpful for a storm of this small magnitude in January 2014 and we spend our time with family and in prayer rather than joining forces of the crazies in the supermarket storm watch.
Maybe I just want a parking space , is this what my rant is all about?
NEVER GO TO SHOP RITE BEFORE A STORM!!!!!!!
New Jersey people are afraid of their own snow shadow
