A MEDITATION ON WHAT TORMENT IS

Jesus said: “the rich man also died and was

Buried, and from the netherworld, where he was

In torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham

Far off and Lazarus at his side.  And he cried out,

‘Father Abraham, have pity on me.  Send Lazarus

To dip the tip of his finger in water and cool

My tongue, for I am suffering torment in these

Flames.’” (Lk 16:22-24)

How do we wish to live?  We can be givers or takers

If we give, especially generously, we will not have to

Worry about being tormented.  If we ignore warnings

And refuse to give and hold in contempt those who

Encourage us to change, we will be candidates for

Torment and when we review, if we have the sense

To do so we will have regrets that we were not

Generous to others.  The right way is usually the

Easiest way and our rewards will be outstanding

Torment will be a foreign word.  Be a giver.

Angels cannot always be right

But that’s what makes them

Human-angels.  The snow that flew

Through Montana and was supposed

To miss North Dakota while hitting

Wisconsin and the U.P. did not happen

I was wrong, but now I know from my

Sources that rain in great amounts is to

Fall in northern Michigan, including

The U.P. and there is a chance for

Flooding in degrees that we have not

Experienced recently.  We will face it

As it comes remember to drive safely

If we have to be about.  Weather is a

Tricky thing and even those of us who

Have an inside track, (human angels),

Can come out with the wrong prediction

If I have left anyone with the wrong

Impression, I apologize.  Tomorrow will

Be a better day and an opportunity awaits you

Don’t waste it because of me.  You on

Your own have many chances of making

People happy and I encourage you to

Do this.  The joy of life comes from such efforts.

Do not listen to the fake news or really fake

News, but follow your heart and you will

Find peace at the end of the day.  Look

In front of you and take the steps to happiness
