There is much to do this day.
While thinking of the evil and
Cruelty in this world, which exists
In quantity and portions unbelievable.
I will take time to thank God for
The goodness that also exists.
I ask you Father, to lead me through
All the things I must do. Keep people
Positive in the knowing that what
They do for others they also do for you.
May this day be good and the goodness
Offered to you. Amen

Those on the left are still mourning.
They have lost three elections in a row.
Some are leaving the country.
Some will resist every move the President-Elect makes.
Some will cruise for four years.
They are in denial.
They lost three in a row.
One to Trump, one to Biden, and another to Trump.
Some thought Biden was a victory, but look at
The country’s condition after four years.
No one should call that a victory even though
They relied on dead people to secure it.
These are not stupid people, but people
Guided by their prejudices.
They hate Trump and call him names.
They call the opposition deplorable, Nazis, and garbage.
They call him a dictator and a felon.
They do not pray for him. I pray for them and him.
His agenda is to make America Great again.
We should all dedicate ourselves to helping him.

I think that broken families lead to
a broken country and then watch
the politicians try to solve things by
throwing money around to create magic
that will never come to fruition.
Money is passed out for doing nothing.
This takes away incentives to work and grow.
We do need safety nets but also must reconstruct.
This takes courage and determination.
It takes leaders who care for all of the people.
We cannot ignore shootings and killings
that go on every week, but we defer
to excuses such as, we do not have
enough police and this after defunding
the police and being critical of these
public servants who put their lives on
the line every day, even at a traffic stop.
We need to rebuild the inner cities,
which will create jobs that pay enough
to support a family. There are many more
steps and we must pray to the
Man who bore the cross for help.
There is a purpose for our condition and
we need His help in to understand it
and what we must do. Today is the feast of
The Immaculate Conception and with the
President-elect celebrating the opening of
The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, we
Are all reminded of the need to pray, not
Only for our country, but for all the world,
Especially those who are hungry and thirsty,
And need shelter. Forgive us if we fail to
Respond to these needs.

MY MEDITATION FOR December 4, 2024
Beauty! Possibly snow, another gift
This and all days I want to live for You
And also with you. It is your kingdom
In heaven that I desire. Meanwhile I
Am content in your vineyards. I hope to
Remember that you are by my side
As my shepherd and brother. May
This be a good day in the service
To others. Amen
Stanskl
Dear Father
Help us rebuild our lives,
Our sacred places, our city,
Our relationships, our institutions.
There is much to do.
Let us be secure in emptying ourselves
For others so that we may be filled up
Again with more love and desire to give.
Help us stay close to you today.
God bless our country, our leaders,
And our citizens. Amen

Yes, yes, yes, she cried
I asked her to marry me

Beautiful beginnings of a new day,
New week, and new month.
We are blessed to be in this country.
We have much to do for others.
It is easy to forget when we are
Wrapped up in ourselves.
I ask my Father, Shepherd-Brother
And the Holy Spirit to be with us
As we move through this month.
Thy will be done.
Give us strength, and endurance.
And what we do accomplish —
May it be pleasing to everyone involved.
Amen.

I am bothered by the need to spit or
scratch in the sports arena.
Chewing gum at a dynamic pace
or at a slow predictable one also
upsets me. If they could see
themselves, they might reconsider
their behavior in these regards.
I wonder if they spit in church
or in their homes or offices when
all alone. I doubt it, but it seems
necessary to the coaches and players
when participating in various games.
Sometimes when they throw their
clipboards to the ground in anger,
they also lose the wad of gum they
were chewing. If they did, they
become busy stuffing their mouths
with one stick of gum after another.
Then they begin pacing up and down
the sideline, spitting as necessary.
I would hate to sit in front of them
in a movie theater. I don’t think
they mean anything, but spitting must be
required in certain sports. You very seldom
see it in basketball, volleyball, tennis or golf.
I guess it is just a sport in itself; a disgusting one at that.

Before eight o’clock the sun
Was a beautiful crimson ball
Clouds formed around it
Making it spectacular
The waves on the lake were
Four, five, and six feet high
A sight to behold if there was one
In town the five flags of America
Were flying at attention in formation
They all faced the east
An observer standing on Cedar Street
Pointed this out with glee
I congratulated him on being
So observant, but he wasn’t there
His hat flew off and he was chasing it
This fall, autumn season has been
A long beautiful season
The time for killing deer is
Coming to a close and families
And friends gathering for thanksgiving
There is much to be thankful for
Even though many have gone through
A rough period of their lives with
Sickness and the loss of loved ones
Somehow it is part of the Master’s plan
We have free will and can be miserable
With the blaming or happy with thanks
Prayer and action is the answer to
Many of the problems we perceive
We do not have all the answers, but
Can notice when those in charge are
Failing for various reasons
Our job is to take care of our own
Responsibilities and watching out for
Those in need incapable of taking care
Of themselves in a dignified manner
We will need help from those who
Tend to have egos and prefer control
We all have been charged and are accountable
When I go, I hope to see the welcome sign
And here angels sing, “A job well done”.
The sun still rises
