Joyska, just for you

I tried to post on your post Joyska but I couldn't leave a comment so I'll post on my blog to you.
Who are the poor? Them or us. I just moved again and I was thinking as I was halling my junk around, "What would it be like to leave a place (like New Orleans) and just have a knap sack on my back?? " It must be a really scary, yet somehow freeing experience. No earthly goods. Strict dependance on the goodness of others. I truly don't know how good I'd be at being fed by ravens, but it sure makes one think about the importance or non-improtance of "stuff".

September

Summer is have her last hurrah!! It is beautiful out today. It's Monday of the long weekend and the the sun in beating down. I'm working so I've been outside with 5 little munchkins at my feet. I swear, we were getting sunburned. It is extemely quiet here today. No traffic as the stores are closed down. You can here the crows and ravens. Geese are gathering to fly south. They fly low for a long while before they land. Big fattened birds ready to go to warmer climates. Today I'm not even envious of them. I'm content to laze around in Thompson.

Northern Lights

Nancy asked on her post, "where are you tonight"? So I answered (even if I am late). Tonight I am working the 11-7 shift so I left for work at 10:45. It is dark out. The sky is clear of cloud and the nothern lights are bright and dancing. I've always liked that in the north. I remember watching them with my kids when they were small. It is a little bit of Gods''mystery on display. I'm sure there is some scientific explaination for them, but I'm tired of being robbed of the joy of experiencing WONDERMENT (word????). I like the questions God asks Job at the end of his trials. Probably we could give some sort of explaination for a lot of those questions but we still can't CONTROL the elements. I LIKE knowing there is SOMEONE much bigger, much smarter, much much much MORE in control, in charge of the universe. I like HIS sky dance.
