Thanks to Group Beyond Blue member iLiberty who started a discussion thread at Group Beyond Blue in Beliefnet Community regarding what people would change if they knew they were dying.

You guys know all about the Red Hat Society, right? The 50-and-older ladies all over town dressed in obnoxious purple outfits with red hats …  They are there, at the table next to you at lunch, telling long-winded stories to the waitress who hasn’t taken your order yet. They are in back of you at…

This is an appropriate topic for the Feast of the Transfiguration: when Jesus’ disciples witness the Son of God’s transfiguration right there in front of them. (“Dude, Did you just see that??? Did we eat wild mushrooms for lunch? Cool …”)How do you go from seeing yourself as an ugly, insecure person to a radiant…

Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd,…

Interestingly enough, just as I was contemplating how God really does take care of you when you take care of yourself, I received this note from Beyond Blue Barbara: I am very happy. I’ve just been told that I have been hired to teach music at a local elementary school. I first interviewed in late…

Thanks to my blogging buddy, NYJLM, whose blog you can find by clicking here, for forwarding me this interview that ran in the New York Times a week or so ago.
