This is a great, rainy day. It isn’t the wimpy, wispy, fog-like rain of
Southern California. Nor is it the near-monsoon of Oregon or Washington State.
Indeed, it is a slow, steady Autumn drumroll; a precursor of cold, wintry weather to come…

Rain is such a cleanser; a mood-altering phenomenon. And we so love and need the
H20. The water. The Dew Beads of Life.

But do we really need to blow up the moon in our quest for life-sustaining water?
Can we not create rainy days like today right here on earth?

As I recall, no air on the moon equates to no atmosphere. Hence no dirt plume when we bombed the hell out of our nearest, platonic neighbor last week. Black folk understand the resulting hidden message:

“Do not screw with the Moon!”

The next bomb might not just pierce the surface - without a molten lava core to melt the incoming blast, we might witness the halving of the moon. A NUKE might even splinter the friendly face of the man on the moon forever.

Just to provoke a thought or two, you might want to watch The Time Machine,
(2002). Just to witness what one mistake can do to destroy our lunar neighbor.
And ultimately, to us.

THINK ABOUT IT!

Today is such a splendid micro sliver of God-time. I marvel and give thanks to The One who smiles down on me and blesses me. When God smiles on me – miracles abound; lost things are found, and healings begin. Thank you, My Father

I believe in Forgiveness – not for what it does for the Forgiven Person, but for what it does for me - the Forgiving Person. Forgiving others removes dead weight from my heart and soul. Forgiving others gives me joy and peace.

And when God smiles on me – EVERYBODY who ever did or said anything to hurt me – real or imagined - gets a Blanket Pardon from me. Like it or not. And if they still hold a grudge against me – SO WHAT?
.
I am so grateful for my life, my loves and my friendships. I don’t want to waste another moment grieving over past hurts and injustices. The past is over and done; the future is not promised. NOW is all there is…and I revel in it!

Besides – as I do self reflective excercises (usually with a new year’s resolution or after a miraculous cure) I’m noticing more and more how my slate isn’t as spotless as I once thought. I have a few overdue apologies I need to make.

I know it isn’t always easy to forgive and forget. But my friends, you might want to practice dispensing Blanket Pardons – especially when God smiles on you!

And the moment you forgive the unforgivable – Expect a Miracle!
