Support



"Support is only worth what it costs you to give it."  

Donnie Wahlberg, Blue Bloods Holdouts Episode 11/20/15




Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" 
"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" Genesis 4:9

Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.  They gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything - all she had to live on."  Mark 12: 43-44

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  Matt 6:21

Donnie's words have been on my mind for months. The scripture only intensifies my contemplation.

I think someone is trying to tell me something.

Sandcastle Choices

Our priorities are defined easily enough.  Just consider where time, energy and resources are focused.
Each day consists of a variety of choices.  And, by definition, each choice takes one path while simultaneously denying another.

Our world says, "Achieve! And do it now because, if you do the math, time is short."  It seems like we should be working hard to make this life all that it can be.  We should be climbing the ladders of success.

Yes, life is fleeting.  Recently, I heard someone say that "everything between the time of birth and the time of death is built on the edge of an ocean".
