Thoughts on Materialism

“We have sacrificed the old immaterial gods, and now we are occupying the temple of the Market-God. He organizes our economy, our politics, our habits, our lives, and even provides us with rates and credit cards and gives us the appearance of happiness.
“It seems that we have been born only to consume and to consume, and when we can no longer consume, we have a feeling of frustration, and we suffer from poverty, and we are auto-marginalized.” Uruguay’s humble president, Jose Mujica

“President José Mujica of Uruguay, a 78-year-old former Marxist guerrilla who spent 14 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement lives simply and rejects the perks of the presidency. Mujica has refused to live at the Presidential Palace or have a motorcade. He lives in a one-bedroom house on his wife’s farm and drives a 1987 Volkswagen. “There have been years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress,” IF you want to know a little more CLICK

I need to learn a little more about Jose’ Mujica…. and just for today I’m going to be a little more grateful for what I have.

Grandpa & Granddaughter

Granddaughter is sitting on Grandpa’s lap as he reads the paper not paying any attention to her. So she starts studying the wrinkles on his old face. She gets up the nerve and rubs her fingers over the wrinkles and then over her own face and looks more puzzled.

She finally asks, “Grandpa, did God make you?”

'He sure did honey, a long long time ago”, he replied.

"Well, did God make me?` she asked.

"Yes He did, and that wasn’t too long ago," he answered.

She thought for a minute and then said, “Wow! He’s sure doing a lot better job these days isn’t He?”

Have a great day..

Cedar Falls in the Hocking Hills

Quality Time In The Hocking Hills

I don’t believe the women in the photo below read the sign about not climbing on the cliffs

Interested in reading an inspiring story… “The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.” READ THE REST & Thanks for stopping by..

Church Gossip

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic

after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told George (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away.
He didn't explain, defend, or deny.
He said nothing.
Later that evening,

George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house... walked home... and left it there all night.

You gotta love George.

Have a great “sober” day….

Daybreak

Dawn or sunrise, the beginning of the day

“There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
