I’ve cleaned . Changed the sheets and towels. Whiskered the floors. Stocked the fridge. I have to walk him or take him with me. Google says he should be in a carrier. I have his therapy vest so could have him along. But he could stay and watch the home. It’s not long. He’ll be guarding Thor a few times this week. He’s okay. I’ll walk him and leave him. One less variable to consider with traffic. He’s not happy in the rental car because he can’t lie against me like he does in the my car and truck.
She arrives 1145 and I’m leaving here at 10 am . It’s 830 now. It’s been a bit like NASA to me. Getting to LA and set up to have her visit. Coming down I’d worried about damage or breakdowns and the delay interfering with my being and doing what I am today. Logistics. I’m here to accept her. NASA we have contact!!!! Once she’s here it’s easy street. She’s happy with the dog, being fed and driven about. She says she has a new book. I’ll get the lawn chair out later. I’m really looking forward to seeing her.
Last night enjoyed watching Christmas with the Chosen. Thought about the courage and mystery of childbirth. Remembered the hundreds deliveries I participated in. I was all all concerned about my part but knew enough from theatre training that I wasn’t the lead. Funny how so many people upstage or try to. In my mind though I was the assistant. As the second son I was raised as the assistant. In surgery I was glad to assistant. In my private practice I’m happy to be the leader and in some areas of my speciality I really don’t know who would know more or do better than me. But in general I’m enjoying the young folk coming along reminding me of when I was the young shot , not the old elephant.
I love the mother in the Chosen and the baby being born in the manger. Joseph and the shepherds were highlighted. It was a touching tale.
The Christian God is the God of Humility. Not the warrior hierachal god of Superman. Just a baby come into this life as a holy spy. God came to earth and we crucified him. My vision in Jerusalem on the Via Doloroso was the sign saying ‘Don’t go there, they kill God.”
Now we have a whole religion that believes in killing anyone who disagrees with them. Live and let live hasn’t made it far in the world. Give peace a chance. We hear all these messages but the cannibals see meat.
I am a barbarian and enjoying reading the story of the PICTs and Scots and Roman’s at Hadrian’s wall. Civilization and invaders.
Christmas , the birth of Christ. There are lights up. I liked last year being with Laura’s family. I loved being with Adell and the kids in Napanee. I enjoy seeing all the family pictures. Come together, Right Now.
I’ve had a shower. I expect it’s time to walk Madigan then I’ll dress and start out. Better to arrive early. I’m getting excited. Just hugging Laura is a blessing. I read that Kirk has gone to Vernon. I’m glad he’ll have his family Christmas. I like that all over people are coming together.
Jesus taught,Love god and love your neighbour as yourself. He said so many times ‘do not be afraid.’ Too. Thank you Jesus..
Jesus means the God Saves. I think of the goalie in hockey when I hear the word ‘saves’. Yahweh , Ysshua Saves.
Christ is the anointed one . He is anointed and chosen by god and the Holy Spirit. The trinity is the three person God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Christmas we celebrate the coming of God into the world. It’s always Now and now again we celebrate rebirth and rejuvenation. At the lowest point in the year we celebrated Christ. Always at this time long before Jesus was born we as humans celebrated the sun’s journey. Winter ends and spring begins. Life. I’m so glad Laura is joining Madigan and I so we can be together this season and she can get a good dose of sunshine before returning north. I’ve down for another month or two planning on visit Fountain of Youth , Bombay Beach, and Yuma and Algadones. Then I’ll head back north to see her again. I got lonely last year and was so glad to return to her and friends and Vancouver and the world I have there, known and cherished.
Thank you God for this day. Hallelujah!
