Love

 1 Corinthians 13

1 I may speak the languages of humans and angels.  But if I don't have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal.  2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge.  I may even have enough faith to move mountains.  But if I don't have love, i am nothing.  3 I may even give away all that i have and give up my body to be burned.  But if I don't have love, none of these things will help me.
4 Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Love isn't jealous.  It doesn't sing its own praises.  It isn't arrogant.  5 It isn't rude.  It doesn't think about itself.  It isn't irritable.  It doesn't keep track of wrongs.  6 It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth.  7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
8 Love never comes to an end.  There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used.  There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself.  There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used.  9 Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to speak what God has revealed is incomplete.  
10 But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will no longer be used.  11 When I was a child, i spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child.  When i became an adult, I no longer used childish ways.  12 Now we see a blurred image in a mirror.  Then we will see very clearly.  Now my knowledge is incomplete.  Then I will have complete knowledge as God has complete knowledge of me.
13 So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love.  But the best one of these is love.

The Carter Family - Keep On The Sunnyside (Live 1965) IN COLOUR!

I don't really know the history of the Carter Family.  For all I know, they are related to Jimmy Carter.  But I like this song!  I first heard it in the film O Brother Where Art Thou?  when I saw the film in the theater.  But unfortunately, the film featured George Clooney who came out against Trump.  So, I put off listening to this song, until I saw the Carter version of it.  I know of June Carter- she married Johnny Cash!

The Storm Outside

 Today, I worked as a Courtesy clerk.  I worked from 10 PM to 5:45 PM.  I mostly gathered carts, did trashes on the Front End, and did returns, or go backs.  I had a lunch.  I used lunch to purchase a deli sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and a pack of cigarettes.  Then, after that, a thunderstorm began.   At first the sky threatened rain.  Then, by 4:30 PM it began to rain.  Then, there was lightening and thunder.  According to my Dad it rained "3 inches" in North Texas.  There was more than one storm in the area. After I got off work, I came home and tried to let Max out.  But he did not want to go out.  I had to be patient with him.  So, I went ahead and let him stay in, prepared to clean the mess up.  But so far, Max has done fine. I made coffee.  I did not think much more of the storm.  I lay down while my coffee brewed.  As I lay down, I closed my eyes, but was awoken by a flash of lightening, an...
