Time To Wake Up; Soberly Sobering

Have you ever had one of those moments in time when your knees buckled?
Almost as if one of your chums came up from behind and pushed theirs into yours?

Have you ever had one of those moments when you felt time stop?

Your ears went flush, all went quiet for a moment and you realise what you just felt, felt like shock?

A jolt of everything electrically slamming into place,

as if just at the right place and time

everything Divinely aligned?

Your deepest of everything known and unknown colliding from worlds beyond--

YET, fully knowing what is going on quicker than you?

Seeing it

Living it

Infinitely multiplied by powers beyond belief. 

Know what you already possess is of great depths

through our Maker, Creator, Comforter and King...

The powers that be can

stand

tower

and do much on their own

but, combined, when these two worlds collide--

You have the most heaven sent

fully blessed

through Him

and yet to come-- beauty you own

complemented and complementing what is,

what will be

a limitless eternity--

The way God means us to be...

Again, My Rose Colored Glasses, pls

Rochester, NY area colleges to see a 3.5% tuition increase and 4.4% for room and board.

Solution:
"The initiative will offer inmates the opportunity to earn either an associate’s or a bachelor’s degree over the course of two to three years."

Sorry?!  Couldn't resist as the Sesame Street 'which one of these things doesn't belong here...' song runs amuck in my mind!

Side note:  In 2007 one pair of glasses I owned were gold frames with, yes, rose colored lenses!  Got so much wear during the presidential debates they broke in 2009!!!  Lol

Inwardly Turning

One of the reasons Advent is my preference to Lent is the consuming joy felt.
Lent being more a cumbersome, somber state of affairs.

Turned inward,

distant from the world around

focus heavily amongst the spiritual realm.

Balance not a strong suit

often confused

misunderstood

finding the "grey" area

not the issue at all ...

Quite contrary

that is indeed

residency

majorly.



Often voiced;

old soul, wrong place in time,

hard to relate.

Stemming way back,

spiritual side preference

as opposed to this earthly nonsense.


One who comforts immensely knowing--
"Thy kingdom come, Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven"



As this Lenten season progresses

continue observing

taken up;

wake-up,

did deep wilderness walking

calling ...

Mindful after three days

Christ risen from the dead

walked among the living again--

Still teaching.

Working.

Walking.

Via our

hearts, hands and feet...
