On coastlines

So many songs sung about tenacity..of strength and the ability to weather storms. Have you ever thought what would happen if the ocean, in its almost infinite power, were permitted to nibble away at the coastline?

In my mind's eye I see a tiny patch of white sand beach..pristine and quiet to the unthinking eye. And I think of millions of gallons of salt water beating down on it..fortitude takes on more meaning as I realize how strong and tenacious that beautiful beach is..

Stairway

My not so little second grader wanted to know why there were so many religions and was it a good idea to be following just one of them? Were we doing the right thing? Were we missing out? From the mouths of babes, as always..

I asked her to list the number of ways she could get to the roof of a building. Let us try that here..take the stairs, take the elevator, sit in a bucket and ask someone to haul you up, take a chopper and land on the helipad.Her face lit up as realization set in.

All roads lead to God, no matter what path we take and what language the road signs are in.
