Just about the first thing a new neighbor did upon arriving at his recently acquired condo was to install bamboo, roll up blinds. The blinds are a necessity due to his west facing view and with a long afternoon of hot sun baking his terrace. My neighbor is a gracious host, so frequently friends and neighbors drop by after work and early evening at his invitation to sip a glass of sangria.

We are in full swing with the opposition party primaries in the dash for the White House in this fall’s election. A powerful, and sad, part of the rhetoric are statements regarding going to war against Syria and or Iran. This brave bravado is usually referred to as ‘Rattling Sabers’ and the folks making these flag waving, drum roll statements are people who have not served nor will ever serve in the military. And all call themselves Christians.
This kind of talk is popular, unfortunately, and always crowd pleasing.

ConnectedWarriors is a relatively new program that offers free yoga classes to service members, veterans and their families. It receives a limited federal grant as it is listed as a 501(c)3 organization but is funded primarily by private donations. It is, so far, being taught at thirteen locations in Florida, two sites in Kentucky and one in Tennessee.

How do I begin to describe the only sub-tropical wilderness in the United States? I think it will take me longer than one blog to attempt to explain the wonder and beauty of this amazing place. Truthfully is was also a bit of a frightening experience to me,
One good thing to know, which I didn’t, is that the Army Corps of Engineers has stopped draining the Everglades and are now working to improve the water flow and the entire area encompassed by this wilderness. It is the most expensive and comprehensive environmental repair attempt in history.

Moving is a hassle no matter how you cut it. Sorting alone is time consuming - what to keep, what to give away or what to try to sell. Then the packing and the actual relocation and, finally, the unloading and move into the new space. And this is where I was taken completely by surprise.

No, I didn’t misspell the word, it is CLARiTYLogic - a telephone provided FREE by the state of Florida to assist those who have a hearing difficulty. No deposit is required, no background check, just a legal, primary address and your signature. The telephones are ‘loaned’ to individuals with the hope that they will be well taken care of and returned when no longer needed. The telephones are available at county service centers throughout the state of Florida.

Matthew: 5:15. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. (English Standard version, 2001).
