A collection of musings inspired by reflections on Scripture which I began to write after the death of my brother, Johncito, and still continue sporadically.

Day 60
It is good to be busy. But busyness for "busyness" sake is futile. It accomplishes nothing. In the end- even though work is a blessing in that seems to diminish our grief- It is a means to bring Him glory.
Day 59
People need relationships. We need the contact of one another and yet we sometimes question their motives and doubt their intentions. We are funny creatures indeed!

Day 58
Discernment and wisdom to know when and to whom one should talk is a gift that comes from God. We can have it if we ask. Ask we must; discern we must;control we must our tongue.

Day 57
People will always talk about other people.
Such is the nature of people.
Be careful that when our words are repeated they do not bring back shame
to us or anyone else,
inspired by the turmoil of grief and the inability to be able to express it honestly-- everyone was grieving and everyone blamed someone-- and no one wanted to be contradicted--- so I spoke to God and now to you, my friends and children with whom I share these pages written so long ago, (and yet it seems so recent)... that maybe you too will know that He is our rock.

Day 56
Knowledge - the possession of it-- requires responsibility.
As one would not give to a child a loaded gun; so must we not carelessly give away our trust.

Day 55
Psalm 1
Nobody can be everybody's friend without compromising some loyalty and integrity.
Knowledge is power-- Beware of whom you give it to.
Time will reveal all things---
still troubled by all the "talk" about his death generated both from family and friends

Day 54
Praise Him in the morning.
Praise Him in the noontime.
Praise Him when the sun goes down.
Praise Him all the time.
He holds the key
that unlocks the prison of depression.!
