Thanks Staples--Your Recycling Helps!



Last week, as I was about to install a new printer, I needed to get rid of the old one.  I specifically didn't want the printer ink to contaminate local water supplies. Also, after looking around my room, it was evident that I'd gotten into the used and forgotten computer parts business.  Knowing that landfills are not  "green" places for computer parts and printer ink, I had to make an effort to find a more environmentally friendly place for disposal.
I began to call around to see where recyclers might be in the Huntsville area. Not wanting an all-day excursion, I checked with some local stores.  The only active store that I found taking old computer parts was Staples.  I was happy to offload my old computer, laptop and printer.  
As a precaution against identity theft, I  removed all hard drives--even though they will do a low-level format--all this for free!
I view this as a needed service. If they can make money on the deal--more power them.  
Thanks Staples.

Pure Hope

We all have fears.  

It is so easy to watch your life spiraling down and entering the realm of never return.

The "Good News" is that God has better plans for us than we have for ourselves.

Brother David Steindl-Rast continues to inspire me.




Brother David is so deep that I had to put down another book of his because I can't wade the additional depth of his thoughts without finishing these. 

That was about a year ago and I'm still learning from the same book.

So Cuteous!

 This week of February 13th was particularly rough for me.
"Some days are diamonds. (Some days are stone.)" was a song written by Dick Feller and made popular by John Denver in the 80’s. I have been crunching on rocks since then.

God's Blessing Sends Us Forth



Granted there are times where it seems like "Fourth" and I really wanna be third, second, or first. 

But in the clenches I'll stick with the Creator.
