Sitting Duck

Like a sitting duck

many thoughts?

or

none at all?

time will tell

for now

like a sitting duck

isn't so bad

not bad after all...

Pictorials

My Earthly Heart

shall beautifully bleed

all the while

my soul
rooted in you...

Mysterious

Wisteria

rope-like braids

encase the common

cascading

as love and prayers

upon us fall...

"The Sweetest Valentine's finds"

Subject:  "The Sweetest Valentine's finds"

I prefer to keep my Benjamin's in positive motion

  roof over my head

  neighbor low on milk and/or bread

not just 'working' for me

not to imply I am against dropping a dime

or two,

niceties

expressions; love and care,

     thinking of you…

over the top it's all become

money where your mouth is

Dollar $ign and Decimal.Point = the universal seal:

Love                                        \

Attention                                   \Selfishly Fueled

Status                                       /(think about it)

Accomplishment                      /

     Dozen Long Stemmed February 14th Delivery > Kiss On the Cheek

     Galaxy 7 > Conversation

     Emblem In the Driveway > Worn Soles

     Philanthropy Awarded > Random Acts Of Kindness

So many reminders and "offers" bombard our daily lives

masking exactly what we need reminding of;

"Money can't buy the most important things in life."

"The Sweetest Valentine's finds" = 

living and growing into that                

Week Three of Mantra'ing!

Chew-bit for this week:
"so must the Son of Man be lifted up" --John 3:14

"By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." --Ephesians 2:8

Q: What does this speak to me in the right here, right now; present day Lenten journey?
     What pops out? (a song, movie, experience, etc.)
     What am I left with regarding the above two quotes?

I am feeling an obstructed flow.

This is due to my reliance on outside or "earthly sources" that have, for the most part, helped enhance my ability to feel lifted by the Son of Man and connected to the natural Trinitarian flow.  Not to say these are unnecessary, by no means--rather secondary!

Songs:  The Stone by Jars of Clay, When You Say Nothing At All by Alison Krauss and Safe and Sound by Capital Cities

When the Trinity; God, Son & Holy Ghost are neglected to be placed first and foremost, above all else, things tend to get messy.
Messy:  obstructed natural flow and order, short circuited feelings like sparks from a downed power line.

The "power line" must be repaired to restore order for the very reasons an actual "power line" must be repaired in that condition.

Left with:

"Can I convince you to come any closer?!?"

Get directly closer to Christ and the Father; use the front door if you will, lol -- get caught up in the Holy Spirit blowing through me!!

Dark Horse by Katy Perry just popped in!

Blessed weekend thoughts, prayers and breezes...
