Volume 3 Issue 20

• The sun is shining in Las Vegas on this First Sunday of Lent, the plum trees are in glorious bloom, and I weigh more than I should. I occupy a position of privilege in comparison to so much of the world, and yet I could let myself feel underprivileged in the twinkling of an eye. There is always more to want, more to think I actually need. I’ve been reviewing the tape I made of last Sunday’s Super Bowl, and I am grateful for Fox’s “fair and balanced” presentation of the values that truly make this the greatest country in the world!
  
• Thirty-five years ago tomorrow Mary and I met on our first “blind” date, and it’s been M&M ever since. My cynical outlook is tempered as I realize what I have learned about the true nature of love since then. While it is cliché to say that I found my soul mate, that is exactly what happened and my life has forever been better. If I were granted one wish it would be that everyone might have the same wonderful experience that blesses me daily.
  
• I managed to be faithful to my Lenten “promise” for the first four days, and the product can be found on the ‘Sermons’ page. The monologue can be instantly changed to dialogue by anyone who chooses to comment, but that is just a standing option. More important is my continuing quest for the meaning of my faith, and my willingness to share the journey with any who choose to join me.
  
• Until next time…….Shalom!
