Credo for Advent

I believe
in angels who watch over me,
in the holy spirit which guides me,
in the DNA of my ancestors influencing who I am,
in inspiration which comes unannounced.
I BELIEVE.

I believe 
in helping others with schooling, health care, food, housing,
in freedom to live with whom and where I want to live,
in discussion not angry words with name-calling and threats,
in families focusing on what they have in common not what keeps them apart,
I BELIEVE in PEACE.

I believe
in clean air, water and soil as God intended,
in saving threatened species which God has created,
in supporting natural energy sources from wind, sun, water
in recycling, composting, re-purposing,
I BELIEVE in the EARTH.

I believe 
in respecting other religious groups,
in welcoming immigrants and refugees,
in being open and willing to learn from those who are different,
in seeing the good in people even if I have to search for it.

I BELIEVE in PEACE on EARTH.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
