Balance Due

I started writing late this week. And before I finished, I knew I would not finish. That means that because of my procrastination, you get a short one this week.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. " Colossians 3:23

"Do to others as you would have them do to you." Luke 6:31

"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Luke 16:10

"The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." Proverbs 11:3

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."  John 13:34

And the reason for the above started with:

"Sometimes we have to pay a price for our ethics. But we either pay for them or we pay with them" Blue Bloods Frank Reagan Season 3, Episode 10.

 

Humanity

This quote is from the television show, Blue Bloods Season 2, Episode 22 (Mother's Day) spoken by New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) to Pop (Lou Cariou as Henry Reagan).

"I'm tired, Pop. The kind of tired you can't sleep off. It's not the big stuff. Hell. . . It's easy to make decisions to protect 8 million people on this island. What's hard. . . is knowing how that affects one single person, one single family. And if you lose sight of that you lose your humanity."

 

Moms Are Smart

The good news and the bad. 

• Each year, we give thanks to and for the mothers of this world.
• Each year we give thanks to and for the mothers of this world. But some of us, just on Mother’s Day.

We need to remember that "Mother" is a pretty big title. 

Boston Remembered

It’s been several years since I visited Boson.  It was truly one of my favorite trips and I packed a lot into a long weekend.

I remember flying into Logan International. Nobody told me what it would be like.  I was a little nervous when I looked out the window at 1,000 feet and saw only waves below the aircraft. 

Since this trip was a last-minute booking, I was able to get a very reasonably priced room at the downtown Omni Parker House. I soon learned that this is a rather famous hotel.
