To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. ~Will Durant
.
Today I am grateful...
- to have no demands today, but many choices
- that if I keep my perspective healthy today I will have a better experience
- that today is right on time, another piece of the puzzle
- that most early mornings, like this one, I feel totally at peace
- that the journey is life long in its length -- the destination just always out of reach
My understanding of God is within the context of freedom. God is involved in His world but He allows it an autonomy. We are not puppets on a string. When things begin to go wrong, God does not interfere and make changes (usually) without our cooperation. God reveals the extent of His love by allowing us a creative responsibility in our lives. ~Fr Leo

i love that: no demands but many choices...
The Fr. Leo quotes always touch me. His book must be wonderful!
Sounds like the promises of a principled, spirit-led live.
Congratulations...
Blessings and aloha....
The journey is lifelong. I agree. Thanks for reminding me of that and that I'll not reach the destination. It's okay though.
Always love the Fr. Leo.
I like the gossip quote, I seem to be hearing this message a lot these days. I am becoming aware of how I am passively contributing to serenity busters.
Gossip is a soul killer.
I've GOT to get me some cobalt blue hose!
I love the painting... it makes me think...
