Calvary would remain forever in darkness, if not for our Father’s grace in sharing the ultimate love of His Son.

Tomorrow Can Wait

Sunrise greets morning

Life’s precious rewrite

Opportunity

Second chance takes flight

 

Lifetime’s intentions

Journey not complete

Treasure each minute

Spirit’s breath, upbeat

 

Always share kindness

Chase gray clouds away

Smile warms someone’s heart

Brighten one more day

 

Tomorrow can wait

Walk this cherished route

Embrace love’s moments

Before time runs out

Brene Brown Quotes

Joy, collected over time, fuels resilience.

Compassion is not a virtue–it is a commitment.  It’s not something we have or don’t have–it’s something we choose to practice.

Brene Brown (born 1965) is an American researcher and author.  Much of her work has studied courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.

Feel the dignity of a child.  Do not feel superior to him for you are not.

Those who cannot begin do not finish.

Monday Memories: Nothing Pursues Something

Half-empty coffee cup

Hoping to find something

Peering down, never up

Searching darkened nothing

 

“Seinfeld” gathers awards

Endless shows with nothing

Jerry’s name on billboards

He’s caught on to something

 

Writing with empty words

Dreams filling with something

Missing all the keywords

Amounting to nothing

 

Scanning digital files

Words lost, dreading nothing

Writer facing trials

Mining life for something

 

Photo on dusty perch

Triggers newfound something

Memories begin search

Looking beyond nothing

 

Nothing pursues something

Something subdues nothing

The American sitcom “Seinfeld” entertained viewers for nine years with the creative humor of comedian Jerry Seinfeld.  With a setting in New York City, the cast featured regulars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards.  The success of the show has often been referenced to a “show about nothing.”

Here is a short clip from the show, featuring Jerry Seinfeld with guest star Brad Garrett.  The scene is titled “You barely know your car.”
