Episode 51- Centerfield
With the arrival of Episode 51, I was drawn to #51 of the St. Louis Cardinals, worn so well and for so long by Willie McGee. As a rookie center fielder for the Cards, McGee patrolled the field like a boss. He's still teaching young Cardinals outfielders how to play the game.
I played a lot of baseball growing up, well enough to have had college baseball opportunities. I chose a different path, influenced greatly by my parents and other mentors.
The in between of life both in age and in circumstance is an interesting place to live. It's my turn now as a sort of patriarchal figure in our family lead the way in getting the middle of good things for the sake of others.

Getting Good- Episode 48

A few years back, Lauren Alaina recorded a terrific song entitled "Getting Good."

Просмотров 50Год назад
Teachers are an indispensable, too often taken for granted, mostly underpaid group of people. Even if they are living paycheck to paycheck, it’s not unusual for them to buy essential school supplies for their students who have even less in the way of financial means.

    I too was raised in a parsonage and went to a church affiliated Bible college. Married a girl who also was raised in a parsonage. I began to have seizures before we married, and she married me anyway and cared for me. After about 20 years, she began to have health issues, so I began to care for her. She passed away two months ago, and I miss her terribly. We were married just short of 50 years, and it hurts so much. Thank you for sharing the pain in your life. It helps to know that the God we both learned about in Sunday School, still loves us and will work all things together for our good and His glory.

    Shining light in dark places is the reason I went into teaching, specifically public school. I always tried to witness in terms of behavior and relationship building, showing God's love and His influence in my life.

    I know, everybody has a critique, BUT: schizophrenia is not multiple personality disorder. The brain’s sensory center is misfiring and creates hallucinations. These manifest mainly as “voices”, or auditory hallucinations, but can also be visual, touch (I.e. bugs under the skin), taste, or smell. Still, that aside, this is wonderful, and I love how Chonda uses humor to deal with life’s difficulties.
