Walt Appreciation Day

-
Yesterday, one of my regular readers, Walt, commented that in his 60 years of work, nobody ever gave him a "Walt Appreciation Day."

I think that's too bad -- because Walt is a thoughtful and insightful person who deserves to be appreciated.

So -- I hereby declare that today is Walt Appreciation Day!

    Thanks Mark for the big grin on my face.

    Thanks also to Jim and anonymous for the Love.

    That was my point exactly. Most of us (not only preachers) in life feel over worked, missunderstood and under appricated at times.

    We need to find the Walt's and Keetha's out there and reach out to them. FYI I enjoy reading your posts.

    My goal for tomorrow is to find another Walt and do something to make his day brighter.

    Walt - - - I LIKE the idea of finding someone each day for whom you wish to make the day brighter - - - kinda like "Pay It Forward." I'm gonna try the same thing.

    Now Walt, do you mean you like my comments on Mark's blog, or are you saying you go to my blog and enjoy my posts????? I mean, if you go to my blog and never leave a comment - - - how am I to know that????

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
