March 30, 2014 Sunday

My fitbit tells me that I walk over a mile a day.  Even if I don't leave the house.  ??


The sermon today was the parable of the bridesmaids that were supposed to have their lamps filled with oil for the wedding ceremony.  These stories all have double meanings, they are intended to make you look deeper into the meaning.  One little boy that went up for children's time, after hearing an abbreviated version of this story had his own story to tell about his sister slamming his finger in the bathroom door this morning.  What do you make of that?


On this day -
1870 - The 15th amendment, guaranteeing the right to vote regardless of race, was passed by the U.S. Congress.
1975 - It was Easter, well it was our Easter as opposed to the Eastern or Russian Orthodox Easter.  My friend Pete was Russian Orthodox, so we had my family on this day and later, a week or two,  had his family Easter. 


Parenting - I have a few friends that are caring for elderly parents.  A lot of them have put their moms or dads or both in senior care facilities.  That is usually dictated by finances, or family chemistry. Many elderly would rather go to a senior residence then live with family.  It is something that should be decided before it is necessary, if possible.  Mom is here with me for a few reasons, some financial and some history, I guess. 


Book club - Blood and Beauty - keep reading it is a long book, but not boring.


New Orleans - Getting ready to pack up, take a walk today - soak up the sounds and smells.
