We say one thing and do another. We all are guilty. It is human nature. Suffer from disconnect we do. We are so removed from the people who make decisions that affect our lives…we are on another Earth.

It is a lovely fall day. I saw my friend from Giant City Lodge at the post office. He is an eternally friendly person. MJ reminded Brooks that we must set aside time to enjoy our lives and be happy. The view from the Writing Porch is as good as it ever has been. Peace comes from within. Christianity is a comfortable garment that is worn easily. We must never adopt the rancor evil thought marginalization and fever dream of others whatever the station or megaphone.

You must dance with the one who brought you—I have heard it said. Neva J taught me to love all people, and Jesus taught me the same. I do not change. When I sang the old hymn, ‘I have decided to follow Jesus…no turning back…no turning back…I meant it. Each time I feel a little blue or down in the dumps the kindness of those different than me lifts me.

I watched a fascinating movie entitled Another Earth. The thesis was seeing another earth in the sky and wondering if our doppelgangers were inhabitants. The star discovers that her other Earth self was there and had been just like her until a change in her life’s walk caused her to go down another path. She was the one who had the misfortune to be in a car accident where she was drunk and accidentally killed a woman and her child. She subsequently did prison time for it and had to leave her education behind and begin cleaning houses instead of a promising science career. Her Other Earth self did not have the car wreck or the manslaughter conviction.

We are expecting a real-time fork in the road. There are consequences…
