Sunset over Lake Ontario ...... Paulo Coelho, who wrote the best-selling novel, The Alchemist, which sold 35 million copies and is the most translated book in the world by a living author, is recorded as having said, "I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written."



PSALM 19 
.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

I remember sitting in the Old Testament Biblical Studies class, and under the guidance and wisdom of O/T professor Marion Taylor, the topic of the day was the Book of Ruth.   It only shows up in the Revised Common Lectionary once every three years and seldom is it used as a starting point for sermons.  The Book of Ruth is, without a doubt, the greatest short story in the Old Testament, as it lays out life lessons around life’s challenges, about grappling with death and loss, and embracing life’s “new normal”.    Let us take a look as to how the story of Ruth opens, (it is only four chapters in length), and then perhaps the life lessons will become clearer for us. In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land.  So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab.  The man’s name was Elimelek, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were M...

************************************** When tears are falling and minds are sad,  When life seems robbed of the bliss it had, When hearts seem empty, bereft and lone,  When treasured gifts are no longer known, It is then, it is then that Christ will draw near,  And lovingly and tenderly dry each tear. He knows the anguish, the grief, the pain,  He understands the tears than rain, The hearts deep hunger, the loneliness,  The loss, emptiness, and when depressed, It i then, it is then, that Christ will draw near,  And lovingly, tenderly, wipe each tear. Anonymous Almighty and All-loving God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we pray to you through Christ the Healer for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid-19 across  the world. We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss of  each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease. Give wisdom to policymakers, skill to healthcare prof...

Hi, hi, hi, beautiful Sunday! This is my my my beautiful day! When God said, said, said, said that He loved me Oh my, my, my its a beautiful day! Buttercups bright eyed and bold, hold their chalices of gold to catch the sunshine and the dew. ~Julia Caroline Dorr ~ To saunter is to walk in a slow, relaxed manner, without hurry or effort.  To be surrounded by  the beauty and presence of the Creator. Nature is the art of God. Dante Alighieri
