Random Thought...

As I walked up the sanctuary aisle, after the end of service at Inspiring Body of Christ Church I Spotted one of the ushers.
In this same I walked in. aisle.
My long ago love, Bear. I have written about him before in this blog.
I'll be honest, I thought about acting like I did not see Bear. I don't have an answer why--just thought I'd ignore him. As crowds would have it, the wave got me on his side,
Closer to Bear, than opposite side of the aisle.
Bear had a big ol' smile on his face. I think my face was pregnant with hesitation.
He hugged--as all the usher may hug the members.
He said it was good to see me. Likewise I said.
The IBOC ushers wear black suits. Men look handsome in black suits--especially Bear.
I made it out to my car and pondered as I drove toward the exit.
Can't imagine Bear and I met in 1998.
It is sad we're not really friends in 2012. We are church friends that say "hi" on Sundays.
Oh well.
It's better to say "hi" in God's house, than in no house at all.

Song Silenced

Like millions of others, I watched the funeral of Whitney Houston today. I admit to not being a real big fan, yet in those early days....I was captivated with her videos (epecially her hair) and that VOICE. Even saw Whitney in concert once. I had not heard such a gift before or since, even tho during the one and only concert I attended, Whitney did not do "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and I was bummed. Nonetheless, those early days, before everything happened, is how I want to remember her--as in this photo.

Whitney's downward spiral is so well known. Sad to see such a gift wasted. I do think Whitney was a believer in God. However, God does give us free will. Some choices Whitney made gave Satan easy access.

And that is why like millions of others, I watched Whitney's Homegoing today.

Terra Cotta Chat

The picture of this terra cotta pot is now wallpaper on my phone:

As I started to show it to a co-worker of mine, she asks: "Is this your boyfriend?" As much as I would like a man 24/7, not everything has to be about a man...

Anyway, when I showed my co-worker the picture, she forgot about the man question. The first word out of her mouth was: "Gorgeous!" The co-worker went on to say she could picture the pots on her balcony and gee, "YOU could do them for me!

Hmm.

Stay tuned.
