  • Shades of Gray…

    what speaks more profoundly than the intensity of watching suffering? be it a dog, cat, family or friend… suffering seems to break the hearts of many a man and yet we have no external grasp to stop its longevity. somehow, it will find a way of stopping itself, well beyond our fathomable control.  i keep praying there will be another tomorrow and yet the vulgarity of pain and suffering seems to add to the knowledge that there may be a day when I have to let tomorrow go. some future dreams are taken for granted and are so presumed that we never even know we were dreaming until our futures are threatened. hours of laughter, shopping excursions, coffee talks and camp walks, eating artichokes, driving into the twilight… you always believe there will be a next time. more time to laugh. more time to walk. more time to share the faith that solidly glues you together. when a mind envisions future dreams, change is practically expected…i will marry, i will have a career, i will own a boat, i will improve something somehow somewhere… but the real dreams are accepting where we are and envisioning that the only change is our acceptance of life as it was intended for us to live, spiritually full.

    today i have learned that true friends never have to take a vow… ‘in sickness and in health’ is presumed. and an honest ’till death do us part’ is an unfathomable lie. how can true friends part when an intermingling of hearts is so deeply indwelled?

    i have to find the power. i have to enter the dream. i have to make today today and expect nothing but the intensity of the moment. i have to make my heart pure… and hold it out despite the knowledge that sometimes it will tragically hurt.

  • a big fat funny on an otherwise not so funny day!


    My friend Kathy’s cat died…. see, Kathy has been in the hospital since saturday and has left her husband Bryan in charge of the kid and cat. Bryan realized that he had not seen the cat in a few days  and thought maybe he should look for it. (it’s an indoor cat). After just a bit of searching he found the cat dead behind the sofa. (better the cat than the kid right?!?!) So Bryan goes to pick up the cat and realizes that she is stiff as a board. Being the ever so … uhm… what’s the word?… ever so… let’s just say…. male, he decides to throw the cat into a paper bag which she promptly plops right through and lands on the floor… Thankfully the kid, an impressionable 6 year old, found this to be the funniest thing she has seen and laughed at poor stiff Sam laying on the kitchen floor.

    so there’s the funny….

    but the not so funny…

    This same friend Kathy was diagnosed today with an agressive form of pancreatic cancer. Kathy is one day younger than me (we are  41… actually, she would say she is 41 days younger than me since it’s one day for each year… ahhh the math skills of a blonde!) She has been my best friend since we were kids. Anyone who has followed my blog for some time will recognize her as the friend I go camping with practically every weekend in the summer. Her daughter is the pretty little red headed Kira.

    Please, pray that Kathy accept her challenges with His loving hands holding her compassionately close… She is a strong and beautiful woman.
