Let's not forget why this pandemic is being allowed to happen. We place too much of our faith in the world. We have so much confidence in what we can do with our technology, devices and, apps. But then this simple virus can shut the world down. You know that this is happening for a reason. It is to lead us to put more faith in God instead of in the world.
What will it be like a hundred years from now? With very few exceptions, no one will remember you. You will, in all probability, be completely gone and forgotten, just as almost everyone who was alive in 1920 is today. When you face God, all of your worldly accomplishments, how popular you are, how much money you have, how attractive you are, what status you have, what country you belonged to and, how many degrees you have, will all mean absolutely nothing. Only what is done for God will last.
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of ourselves while we are here. So much is known today about how to make the body fit and healthy, and foods from across the world are readily available, that there is no reason for everyone not to be at their best and for aging to be drastically slowed down. Look at how silly Father Time looks. This is the Baker Clock, in Gloucester in England which is the closest city to where I was born. A jeweler named Baker set up the clock over a hundred years ago and it has become a tourist attraction. The four figures that sound the bells represent Ireland, England, Scotland and, Wales. Father Time is in the center.
While I am so grateful to have so many readers, don't think that individual readers are not important because they are. For one thing, everywhere I go there seems to be a princess figure that inspires me. There was a princess from fifth grade, and her princess daughters. I have already mentioned our community college princess that became a nurse. Then there was our sales office princess. This blog has brought out the best in me like nothing else because every week I must come up with something that individual readers that I know about, and all my readers, find worthy to read.
Helen Reddy's best song was "Delta Dawn". I don't actively listen to music anymore. During the rock music era, I only actually liked about one out of every eight or ten songs. The best years of the rock era was 1970-72. Back in those days, this is what I used to listen to the most.
The Grass Roots were the most underrated band.
The Sixties had a certain sound to them. This is best represented by "Dizzy", by Tommy Roe, "She Loves You", by the Beatles, "Build Me Up Buttercup" and, "Respectable", by The Outsiders.
Blondie was right in time for my carefree prime of youth. The Go-Gos continued from there.
"Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" is addictive to a few people. It's upbeat pace was ideal for getting in the frame of mind for exercise. "Gimme Shelter" was usually reserved to provide some extra drive during exercise.
The epic year of 1972 featured "Baby Blue", by Badfinger, "Immigration Man", by Crosby and Nash and "Run, Run, Run" by JoJo Gunn.
