Billy Joel Number

Been listening to a lot of Billy Joel lately. "Only the Good Die
Young" has been on my mind. The thing I've been thinking about is how
that song haunted me growing up. I really thought I was going to die
because I was a good kid. and then that howling bit at the end. I
thought I was done for.

The missing link Between knowledge and action or knowing and doing is faith. Faith is the bridge between knowledge and action. The bridge that carries our nowledge to action.

It seems that we were so far gone after Adam, that even though God put the knowledge of Him in our heart, that He had to send Christ to show us how to live.  He actually spoke to humankind and we said, "Hunh?  I can't hear over the music.  Turn that down, It's God!  God, I can't hear you.  These people got the music up too loud..."  After God hangs up.  The partier said, I hope that wasn't important, 'cause I sho' couldn't hear what he was sayin'."  My thought is God said, Jesus, Go down there and tell them what I said.

Quiet Elation

We have a Black President! This is what I want to scream in line at
the grocery store. But I don't. Instead I field all the smiles and
greetings from people who three days earlier would avoid eye contact
with me or put hands on their purse when I walked past.

Social Networking Apps

Since I've gone on Facebook, I have communicated with people I haven't spoken with in 20 years and met with people from overseas I thought I'd never see again.  What a great tool!  I am also closer (in Web proximity) to people who would never speak to me in a million years.  It makes me think that six degrees of separation is actually a reality.

Fall is early

The children start school on Monday.  Three of them: 3rd grade, 1st grade, and Kindergarten.  The fourth still has his hand in my shirt but I'm kicking him off to preschool in September.  Everyone I talk to (every adult) says this time goes by quickly.  I agree with that because I looked up one day and realized I hadn't bought diapers in six months.
