fair treatment for all
a value that all must share
if we value life
This Haiga will be part of a collection to be published in the forthcoming months.
I am still working on formatting my forthcoming poetry collection "December Mood." I have decided that this collection will be released in December. An innovative idea, I know.
Today is Charity Sunday. It might seem a strange thing for a devout Agnostic and far-fallen Catholic like me to donate to a church, but the Friendship Alliance Church in Grover, Colorado walks the talk.
My son and I live in Grover. It is one of the poorest communities in Colorado. We go to the food bank at Friendship Alliance Church once a month. We get most of our food there. We still need to purchase meat, cheese, and bread, but the food bank supplies a lot of essentials such as canned fruits and vegetables and cereal.
I will donate a dollar for every comment received to Friendship Alliance Church. You can visit their website here to learn more about them.
In other issues of concern, I have figured a way around the problem of books added to the Roost Recommendations (http://bit.ly/ReadersRoost) later in the month getting the short end of the stick.
From this day forward, books discovered between the 1st and the 15th will be added to the current month's Roost Recommendations, and books discovered after the 15th will be added to the forthcoming month's Recommendations. I believe that this will facilitate equal exposure for all featured books.
Apologies for this cobbled mess of a post. I had a wonderful post all ready to go save for a few minor details, but disaster struck. This damn Google Desktop update has been hijacking the processor on my 6-year-old computer for the better part of two days.
Thus, things move slowly, and when I made the critical error of hitting CTRL-Z without insuring that only the newly pasted erroneous text was highlighted, the entire post was deleted and I wasn't able to move fast enough to stop Blogger from saving the now-blank post. So, now you get this reconstructed fuckery.

Love thy neighbor as thyself. You don't have to believe in God, or Jesus, or anything at all, except our fundamental oneness. We all come from the same seed and end up in the same dust.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining Charity Sunday!
"fair treatment for all
ReplyDeletea value that all must share
if we value life" Great words!
Sorry I nedver made the rounds of comments properly on Sunday but I was helping my younger daughter and her family move and it was quite a day. I enjoyed your post, fair treatment for all sounds good to me as a motto for the day or the week or forever! Sorry you had computer troubles!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I've never even looked at a deck of Tarot cards.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear that a church is picking up the slack that government help leaves. I wish the govt did more. There is one local church near here that does that. I have great respect for them.
(Far-fallen Catholic here too.)
Have a good week, Cie.
