Thank you, Msrcie

Marcie.

My saying is "difficult but not impossible"

Borrowed from a friend's kid, "It could happen."

yes

100?

Does that explain why we can't wrap our brains around the COVID deaths?

Kathleen, I would think so.

Overwhelming images and information creates a "brain numbing" experience.

existence hijacked by tech

We can't keep up. We have not evolved fast enough to keep up with our technological evolution.

I was going to type read.

Last year, Cal Newport published a book titled, "Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World." which I think builds on this same topic, great read for anyone looking to build healthier digital habits.

Jason, I really appreciated your thoughts. Thank you!

There is a theory that if you want to be more creative, take a class in an opposite interest. It will expand and open new ideas.

Beth and Paul Howard are grieving the untimely death of their young friend Leah Aylward on Dec. 30th.

1My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing. It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing!2 What though the tempest ’round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth. What though the darkness ’round me close, songs in the night it giveth. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I’m clinging. Since love prevails in heav’n and earth, how can I keep from singing!3 When tyrants tremble as they hear the bells of freedom ringing, when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing! To prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging; when friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing!

Marcie, are you perhaps coming back as the choir director? Nice.

Beautiful Marcie!!
