HOUSEBOND

This week I have been resting and staying at home.  It feels good and I feel content.  My energy is slowly returning and my cold is almost over.  The world news is so horrific and there just seems one disaster after another.  Most of us wish we could do more but our own daily lives seem to take most of our energy.  The incredible power of nature destroys many innocent lives; as does the corrupt power of politics.  So sad.

The church has also been guilty of corruption through power and although we are all suppose to be equal the little voices are often not heard.  This is slowly beginning to change.  The wearing of robes and fancy adornments have brought colour into the church; but you know deep down that the person wearing the robe has the most authority.There are good people that wear these robes with humility and remind us that there is hope for change and growth.  And someone has to take charge and takes responsibility.  Our world is structured around the experts.  Every news program brings in experts to explain to us the facts.

So back to the present;  in which we are being encouraged to live, it was raining lightly when Gunty and I had out 30 minute walk this morning.  She loves to talk and it makes our walk enjoyable.  I am learning a lot from her life experiences. 

We are to meet some one for lunch and then go to the hospital to visit our friend Louise who has had an operation for a broken hip.  She is amazing and has just bought a scooter so she can be more in dependant since she cannot drive anymore.
