Connect the dots if you dare, to see the truth.

We cry because we don't like the loss/change.
But then, isn't that selfish on our parts?
The girl who comes in second in Miss America cries.
Is that because she wished she had won? ;-)
Maybe some people cry because they are not chosen to go home.
I don't believe it is wrong to be homesick, every once in a while. :-)
“....since I live in the woods I gotta ask.”
Then, I just gotta tell you. ;-)
G’night everyone.
Those fractured Christmas carols come from Walt Kelly’s old comic strip, Pogo.
It’s Pamlico Sound Sea Camp; I think it’s a Fayetteville Council facility. Sailing and kayaking is planned, as far as I know. They’re going the first week of July.
In a way. All our feelings are found "in the self," and it's a very rare person (and most likely faking it) whose emotions are entirely under the control of the rational faculties. To me, it seems that if a person doesn't have any sense of deprivation, it's likely that he wasn't very close to the person who died.
At the death of a sick, elderly relative whom one knew slightly, one might genuinely feel only gratitude that he was part of your life to some extent, and relief that he is relieved from suffering and returns to the Lord. However, at the death of a child, or a beloved spouse, too much detachment is very strange.
From St. Paul onward, the saints have written about Christian grief, and recognized that it can coexist with Christian hope. St. Paul said not to grieve "as those who have no hope," but he didn't say not to grieve. It's impossible not to feel the loss of a loved one, and the better the person was, the greater the loss.
Prayers, please: our Jake is missing (the brown tabby cat, for those who don’t keep a record of my family members). He’s stayed out 24 hours before, but never over a second night. It was in the 20s last night, too.
I’ll be sending the Offspring out to look for him (again) later.
It took me years to work up the gumption to write a poem about losing a cat.
Let’s hope it doesn’t apply.
Good morning, y’all!
Lotsa tasks to accomplish today, the biggest of which is to straighten out sleep cycle.
Back later for K,UTer, and relaxation modules.
Have a great day!
Are Doritos better firestarters than dry leaves and laundry lint? (We only do fires in the outdoor fire pit.)
Ohno....not the aloof Jakester...
Keep us posted, please!
Knock on doors. Idiot cat probably forgot which house he lives in.
You should really get both of them collars.
If he doesn’t turn up by evening, we’ll put up signs.
Email your grandmother!
I have.
Good. Have you got your radio working? Not that you’re going anywhere, I guess, but you could play it in your quarters.
Did you see on the NC board that we’ve all been moved to new Congressional districts? It’s going to be interesting!
Prayers up for Jake!
Thanks! In addition to liking him pretty well, we’ve spent money on that kitteh!
I think Shannon knows something. She’s looking smug. Paging Dr. Lightman to trick the senior cat into telling us the truth ...
Hoping Jake turns up and is fine.
Hopefully I will be getting an apartment soonish. I have to get some paperwork signed.
Shannon can still come live with me and be the Only Cat.
