Well, it’s been awhile since we talked.  However, it’s not your fault.  I just ran out of words. So I went back to winnowing and sorting through the stuff of my life.  And  I prayed. Some days I need reassurance God’s not given up…

RBG. She’s gone. Some cheer, some mourn. Too many will take little or no notice that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died yesterday.  One death among so many, does it matter? Time and who replaces her will tell,  in part. Also, whether we’ll continue to…

  Today many will pause for a few moments of silence to remember September 11, 2001.   The world changed on that day, not just the USA.  And now, a global pandemic,  raging fires in the western part of our country, social, political, environmental and…
