This God hasn\'t spoken to anyone i know Goldfinch.
It is a myth created by mankind and surrounded by pathetic excuses when we ask \'why\' about some terrible disaster in our lifes.
Cleverly the \'fear of god\' is instilled in us as children so that the various \'churches\' have a power over us.
Anyway, if i am totally wrong then ask yourself this. Is an omnipotent god capable of doing everything but doesn\'t EVER come up with the goods really worth worshiping?

Ohhhhhh UNCLE ANDY : Your post this morning made me cry for You & Joyce. Im posting on GOOD FRIDAY becaus BRIAN is on his way to be with me for a fortnight. MY FAITH is very very strong : as is BRIANS : and it has sustained us during our separation for eight MONTHS. We pray for you and JOYCE 24/7 ! You haven\'t lost your FAITH ANDY : Its just on HOLD because of the sad situation you face day-by-day ! Your beloved JOYCE with you in BODY but not in MIND : aweful. Your stoicism through it all ANDY : has been an inspiration to both BRIAN & I should either of us lose our mental faculties. I support HEADWAY and I know that BRIANcould have an accident on his Bicycle and lose his mind and nothing I could do could restore it : it frightens me !
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE : AMEN

Andy,
I’ve been reading your daily postings. I can almost feel the pain you feel! It is during those painful times that the faithful question their God! They feel forsaken by Him! I know your belief is strong and irrefutable! As my dad would say, “Now is the time to be the strongest you have ever been!” I never questioned his belief in his God because it comforted him and kept him strong till the end! Early one morning we found his lifeless body in his favorite chair...with a smile on his face! That is what I remember the most about his death...his smile! Whenever I think of him (every single day), I see his smile...and that makes me happy! I no longer think of his suffering! He endured it and never questioned it because of his faith!
Stay strong!
My love to Joyce and to you!

I can understand this gold. I fuss about \'outward\' things. Sometimes I decide on that, to go to church or not - too cold; too rainy; etc.
But it\'s more than that really. Then there\'s me about to write a poem on oils, healing, etc.
In one of the darkest Psalms (88) the Psalmist cries out to God. Hardly a glimmer of praise in it. It seems he is about to die too. Yet I read in a commentary that he still holds on to God.....somehow.

Play to-day, we each need
Cheated a little, but still fun.
I play such games in my head many many times.
There is a sentence in Hindi, to show the importance of punctuation, but it doesn\'t translate to English very well:
Crude attempt:
An enemy spy is trying to gain entrance to a fort to blow up the armory and presents a hand written note to the sentry, which says:
STOP DON\'T LET GO
He was allowed in because the sentry read it as,
STOP DON\'T, LET GO
Where as it was meant to read
STOP, DON\'T LET GO
you can guess the outcome.
I thought you all may like this levity as well

You lucky people.
Desifinado is a piece i learned long ago and remains a fav. I had only ever heard the studio version of the 45 record (B side jazz theme from Dr Kildare I also learned) until today. Stan was epitome of west coast cool sax and here on your vid to my ears he is over-playing barely retaining \'cool\'. It does however show his virtuosity.

Thnaks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the MUSIC (new to me !) sounds very like a DIALING TONE when someone puts you on hold for 10 mins ~ usuually Scott Joplin & the Entertainer ~ which is equally annoying as people being LATE ! If you live in KENTUCKY (USA) there is an hour difference from one side of the Road to the other ~ so they have an excuse ! ONLY IN KENTUCKY !
I think it depends how you were brought up and what one was taught @ School ! My Parents & My Teachers told me that being late for an appointment was th height of BAD MANNERS ~ better to arrive Half an Hour early than Five Minutes LATE ! Being unpunctual is another one of the many negative TRAITS of the 21st C.
Thanks for SHARING & CARING !
Blessings & Love to BOTH of YOU

As a big fan of Weather Report I\'m pleased to see your music choice today. I have everything they ever published.
Punctuality is something i am a stickler for and i do not appreciate other peoples poor attitude in this respect.
I recall telling off a specialist nurse in Hospital for keeping me waiting 35minutes without explanation and assuming that i had nothing better to do. I insisted they make another appointment for me because i had another appointment to keep and had no intention of being late for it.
Had it not been for my 2nd appointment i would have sat it out quietly thinking that i could never behave in such a way without contacting the waiting person with an explanation.
