It was interesting to hear it said this way:

"Humans are spiritual because we are aware of our certain, eventual death"

Aware of the stretch of time beyond this moment's instinct has us

questing for meaning ... finding value to the time we have ... seeking hope that will endure

Grade eight Social Studies in Alberta focuses on "worldviews",

The mix of values, culture, geography, beliefs and interaction.

We are blessed with a worldview; we have control of our worldview.

We can choose the practices of life and spirit!

Nowhere is it written in all our scriptural heritage,

nor in any holy writings of any system of faith, that

blessed are the greedy.

Greed (preservation of the individual) is part of who we are

but the practices of spirit and faith invites us to self-limit our greed.

We can choose a view of life in this world where

there is holy in each rock and molecule and mackerel and person ...

We strive for vehicles to discover this holiness.

I have spent three months exploring the path forged by

melody, harmony, word and rest

Music is a miracle.

What path is before you?

So far this has not been the summer of togetherness.

I'm away; she's away; the kid's go to camp or elsewhere.

But the days have only just begun to get shorter.

There is excitement on the horizon.

Jesus sent them out two by two

and told them to trust that they would be provided

with all they could need.

When times and time gets tight, it's good to hear that gospel.
