THE BUSINESS OF JURIES

SERENDIPITY: SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH

I’ve been frequently called to jury duty. It’s the price you pay for voting because potential jurors get chosen from voter registration lists.

I’m convinced they call us in alphabetical order. It’s the only reason I can figure why Garry and I were called every few months. Good citizens that we are, we always showed up. Coincidentally, our last name starts with an “A.”

Garry and I were called up two or three times a year for more than a decade until one day I called them and said “I’ve had enough!” After that, they slowed down to every other year. I’m pretty sure there’s an outstanding warrant because I didn’t respond to at least one jury summons. It showed up while I was in the hospital trying not to die. So, it’s just possible I’m a wanted criminal.

I figure they’ll get back to me on that.

They called Garry often, too, but never…

all my days

The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)

Saturday 30th December

Darling Angel

You’re the rainbow

The murmuring

Silent, underflow

To all my days.

Sweet son of mine

Your wings aglow

The luminescence

Brightly on show

For all my days

My precious boy

A silent shadow

That follows me

Never letting go

In all my days

Love you to the moon and back

Around the world beyond the stars

A Year of Conflict

Barataria - The work of Erik Hare

As 2017 closes out, as cold as it was on the way in, it’s hard to find words to describe just what is going on around us. Divisive, chaotic, and juvenile come to mind quickly. So does bizarre.

But what defined this year more than anything else was conflict. Despite a decade long war in Syria and some other regional battles, the world is actually more at peace than it has been for many centuries. Yet it doesn’t seem like it.

House of Cards

robbo worldtraveller

I leave the crew at the coffee shop and venture into the square. The market is a buzz, I look around and absorb the vibrancy. An old man is standing near me, his old wrinkled face, worn by the years was inviting and warm looking. He looked at me with a magnetism so I try on my best Italian to ask this lovely old guy if he knew where I can find a good calzone. I refer again to my phrase book, practice a couple of times in my head. Ok, lets give this a go. “Mi scusi signore” I walk over towards him and his expression opens up in reception. “Dove posso trovare un negozio di calzone.”

He looks at me and smiles. “Sorry no” he responds

“Do you… parla… English?”

“Little bit” he holds his hand up with his forefinger and thumb a centimetre or so apart. We…

Taboo

ExPlOrE...LiVe....DiScOvEr

It’s time… Not the time to go anywhere but the time for my impure blood to unleash from my wonderful body. Yaaa….. I’m on my superwomen day.

I know, you people may think, ” hey lady, it’s just normal and usual thing for a woman, what are you gonna talk about ?.(it could be a usual though). But guys, I need to say this.

Usually when girls at this time, use to say” oh god, why do you given such a curse to women,”. But to me ” I love pain”. I’m fond of menstruation pain.(*it looks a little bit crazy *). But yes, I love the pain. this pain will make me much more strong and healthy. And actually, I’m a PCOD patient, I do have irregular periods. Sometimes I would be longing for the menstruation pain. Only PCOD patients know the value of menstruation period. And this pain will make…

This Evil Generation

TOWER AND FLIGHTS (An AmericaOnCoffee Blog)

LIVING IN DARKNESS

photo credit: Teresa Taylor http://www.pixteller.com

Recently, while in a time of fellowship with the Lord, He said this: “Demons perform on demand, especially when My Name is spoken. This is one of their favorite deceptions. But know this, I am a Sovereign God. I don’t come every time someone calls, and I don’t perform on command. I only act according to My will and purpose and in My timing. And I don’t act to bless you, I act to fulfill My will and purpose, which is a blessing to you”

In other words, God isn’t sitting around waiting for people to call His name so He can come running to see what they want. He isn’t like some trained circus animal, ready to jump through a hoop as soon as someone sticks one in His face. How ludicrous! Yet that’s exactly what many in the traditional church…
