HOW TO SPEND THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
he referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning....to the end.

he noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered the most of all
was the dash between those years.

for the dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth......
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

for it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash.
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

so think about this long and hard
are there things you'd like to change?
for you never know how much time is left.
(you could be at "dash mid-range.")

if we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

and be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

if we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile.......
remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

so, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash.....
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your DASH?

To the world you may be one person,
But to one person you may be the world!

Beautiful weather this weekend - temps in the high 70's - clear skies - an easy drive up the road. A good time with Mrs. MacNessa'a family.

Must retire for the evening – an early Mass Call
awaits me in the morning!

For Every Morn' Brings Forth A Noble Chance,
And Every Chance Demands A Noble Knight!

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!

Weekly Prayer for America

Lord God, You are everywhere present and always ready to save. We know that the lives You call us to live should reflect Your glory, so we, too, should have a willingness to share about You wherever You take us. Forgive us, Lord, when we become complacent or focused only on selfish interests and desires. Forgive us for failing to let our countrymen know that Your word is truth. Forgive us for not sharing about Your grace and Your power for it is these that will change our country by turning the hearts of individuals back to You. Rid us of complacency, procrastination, or apathy. Inspire us with Your mission to change the world one heart at a time. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
