Where To Today?

I have no direction today as I write this. It’s Saturday and am working on testing the soils in our various gardening and farming spots. And starting to split some firewood for a friend. Dr Zucker(Danger Zone)is going to show up this afternoon for a visit. Mariner’s Baseball game tonight. That’s what my day looks like or my proposed day. The unexpected will be in there too I’m sure.

We had Bible Guys Zoom session this morning. I missed it last week because I was on Annie’s Pilgrimage in Place Zoom QandA meetings. Art joined us today. He is the overall leader of something like fifty five small men’s groups in Western Washington. He visits on occasion. Somewhere we in our rambling conversation we talking about the Apostles and he was saying that they were probably all teenagers. It was a thought that I had never had any time.

Teenagers, really? Of course those were different times and they weren’t exactly teenagers as we use that term. But none the less they had were strong on energy and short on perspective. They seem like such knuckleheads on a lot of occasions. And it is really not until the visitation of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost that they receive understanding. But before that their slowness and cluelessness runs rampant. But their is a reason for that and we forgive them just as we can be slow and clueless. But in this case it leaves the opportunity for Jesus to further explain which looks like it is for their benefit but is really for ours.

So time marches on for us in our situation. School opens for the kids. Colleges open and close again. The news is still a little of this and a little of that. Nothing is for certain except our own personal strengths. Additionally God’s help is needed for us to maintain in this trial. Ask for help early and often.

Time to move on for today.

always here for you loves, Felipé.

  1. Hi boss,

    Sorry for not commenting in the previous posts, when I was the one asking you to revisit the topic of “figuringouting” as we come to this French Salon… Work was a bit overwhelming and to be honest too, I really needed to think deeply some of the things you wrote… maybe, I am still digesting what you said in the Zoom Q&A… that was super nutritious for the soul and the mind…

    But with this post, you made me think again about some things we tend to forget, it seems… Jesus was only 33… and Virgin Mary was probably 16 when she gave birth to Jesus, so was potentially 48 when she saw Jesus in the cross… it does sound crazy for today’s standards… but as Fr. Richard Rohr says: “back in the days”, every society and culture had passage of rites for male initiation, that often times would start as early as 13, and it included a very intense training and education by the elders, and surely it was the same for the Jewish boys in the time of the apostles…

    Richard Rohr often says that our nowadays culture needs “to grow up men”… and says that what happens in the world today with lots of men in position of power is not only terrible, it is even a “caricature” of all that could have gone wrong… (and this applies to women too… I can assure that!)

    Glad the Camino helped me to grow up Loves,
    Cris

    PS: Send a hug to Dr. Z!!!

    1. Cris ~ yea, Danger Zone was here yesterday for the late afternoon and early evening. I was able to fix him some fresh corn for dinner. He is doing well. So glad that you mined some good ore out of the Zoom and recent posts. Thanks for the inspiration on that by the way. I hope that you are doing well there. Are you getting out to see a few folks now and then? I need to call you. Felipé.x
