lot of great posts

This past week I have read some blog post that have rang the bell with me.  At least they gave me pause to wonder and think more on their subjects.  I will start with the post of Linda Lee’s not that was the first only because it was the last one I found when I went looking for the posts this morning.

“For kid’s sake!”  Having a child and being a parent is the most miraculous and wonderful thing that has been part of my life.   There are many books and theory’s on raising a child. Most of them are well thought out, but the one I found to be the best is the bible.  It could be any religious teaching from Buda to Islam to Hindu for me it was Christianity so it is the bible for me. Raising a child to be a good person and a responsible member of society is no easy task. A parent has to raise themselves and the child.  In all of Linda’s post I found only one point that I disagree with and only to a point, and that is on spanking. I was spank as a child and it did hurt but only for a moment.  There a great many and far more then will admit it that has been spank as a child.  The idea that it will make a violent child holds as much water as the point of a needle. On the contrary Mother Teresa, the pope and quite a few saints and Christ and some very successful people that we honor like Tomas Edison, Albert Einstein, and Gorge Washington received more than one or two growing up. It is how and when it is use to correct a bad behavior. A toddler striking a sibling is one place, that a well placed hand to rear of the problem is the best solution; but never when you are burned by the heat of the moment.  What do you think??

Next there is the post of Larry Lewis  one-hot-guy.  Honest, honestly you can’t beat it for what is does for your life and living.  Open, openness being open is the way to learn to discover the world we live in to love and be loved.  Transparent being transparent let in the light and the love.  There is said to be a window to our soul if you hang up a curtain you block the light. You can’t see love and you can’t be seen to love.  Curtains of deceit, and lies, blocks the lights and the warmth of the world, a broken heart cannot be repaired with curtains.  HOT get hot, be hot, the hotter the better.

 The last is the best post I have read in sometime.  by Jessica Mokrzycki  it is the most intelligent interview I think I have read in quite some time. Both her and her guest did a very good job. All too often I have seen religious intolerance here in this land of religious freedom and by christen against christen.  To see that understanding can exist is wonderful indeed. We need more of this.

Just for the fun of it take a read of this post by Corinne Rodrigues

Home is where

Saddle up that old rone

Gaze at the prairie skies

The sun in my eyes

Hat in my hand

Get the move on

Somewhere out there

There is a home

Hat in my hand

Why did I Rome

So far from home

Under star lit skies

Hat in my hand

Home is where

Somewhere out there

So far I did Rome

Hat in my hand

My heart is there

Somewhere out there

Home home again

Hat in my hand

Any place for a bed

I dread its out there

My heart my home

Hat in my hand

They say home

Is where

I hang my hat

Hat I’m home

Thank you and God Bless

lot of wedensday child

4:00 AM the storm is at its height of rage, a bolt of lightning strikes the substation and the town goes dark not that it was not already dark but now there are no lights.  Ron wake up stretches and head to the bathroom taking care of the morning necessary, then heads off to the kitchen turning on the coffee. Going to the refrigerator getting out the milk then to the cupboard to get a bowl and the cereal, it will be a cold breakfast this morning. His one bedroom windowless apartment is a place of order everything has a place and is in its place. Sheba his black and tan German Sheppard Border collie mix lay at his feet waiting on his every move. Finishing his bowl of cereal, he places his bowl in the sink and turn off the coffee fills a travel cup and pats his leg. Sheba comes to his side with her harness in her mouth. Ron praises her and put on the harness. They head out the door and down the dark hallway.

Outside Ron lets Sheba run a bit, once she has taken care of her business they are off to the bus stop and another days work.

You see Ron is blind at twenty four he has never seen any light only darkness he was born without eyes. For him the power being out does not mean a thing.  He works as a jeweler at the mall repairing watches and engraving jewelry.  I don’t see how he can do the beautiful things he does. He loves to play hand ball. Just don’t challenge him to a game unless you like getting beat. He can tell you what kind of flowers that is around you just from the smell of them on you.

Ron does not see himself as anyone special and does not like getting attention for his abilities.  I met him at an E-step equestrian therapy center; he was one of the clients.  He is always glad to see me and greets me with a big smile and “Howdy cowboy roy.” We always have a fun ride and he helps the others with their horses.

When I told him I would like to write about him he said ok but no pictures he cannot see them. I ask him what he would like me to say, what advice he would like give others. He said “Don’t live in fear of the things you cannot see.”

Here are my picks for today:
