I was going to answer pings tonight, but it’s late, and FR is still being contrary, and my eyes are burning & itchy, and feel so sad for OESY. I’m going to say goodnight instead. See you all tomorrow.
To: Billie
Goodnight, Dear Billie, and God Bless.

For OESY
She
She created a space
filled it with warmth
laughter and welcome
and left the door open
And each who wandered in
found a most pleasing place
where true welcome was found
and all stayed because of she.

He Watches Over Us
From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth. Psalm 33:14
In the early 1960s, I read the novel
1984 by George Orwell, which made famous the phrase Big Brother is watching you. In this imaginary society, all aspects of life are under surveillance.
Today, there are an estimated 4.2 million closed-circuit video cameras in the UK alone! London is saturated with them. These cameras watch lobbies and sidewalks for security reasons. They even monitor traffic.
Psalm 33 tells us that God is also watching from on high (v.14). He sees not just images and activities but discerns thoughts and motives. As Creator God, when He speaks, it will be done (v.9). His eternal purposes march on unhindered (vv.10-11). Earthly obstacles are mere steppingstones to Him. Though many may depend on military strength for deliverance and safety, their hope is in vain (vv.16-17).
Yet we who fear the Lord need not flee from this awesome God. The psalmist affirms, The eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy . . . . He is our help and our shield (vv.18,20).
The eye of the Lord may be fearsome, but we who trust in Him rejoice. He is not an intrusive Big Brother but our loving heavenly Father who watches over us.
The Rock of Ages stands secure,
He always will be there;
He watches over all His own
To calm their anxious care. Keith

Good Morning To Amy's Place
Ruins in a Moonlit Landscape by Bocklin
Visit to a Ruin by WayzataJOHNN
Upon the hill the pile lit by the moon in its nightly race,
all tumbled block and old stone beams fallen in disuse.
Drifting clouds make the light a thing of chance and place,
and gives the ancient ruin a ghostly air that can not be a ruse.
I walk among the tumbled stones and see what once stood here,
think about the lives that flowed across time amid these ancient walls.
The laughter bright and the sweet sad tears, the pain and glory too,
part joy, the fear, shaping life, times of souls who inhabit still these halls.
The wind, it whispers, and the shadows take forms that tell the ancient tale,
they shift in retelling of the glory and loneliness inside the worn, tired wall.
Of this, the last stone fortress of the heart and all that it can so cunning hide,
be it victory or fail, the souls who lived their lives here are historys to recall.
I am quietly humbled by the moment and things I now perceive,
and give a moment to honor them who strove, even as they failed.
I quietly leave them to times gentle hand, now by the ages shrive,
to ponder yet the glories and the struggle against which they prevailed.
