Sabbath: Shalom

Many folks like to sleep late on Saturday. Sabbath, it’s a day to be easy and not so somber, take life and oneself not so seriously. Karzai, Bales and Rutgers do stretch that possibility this morning. So does an NYT discussion of charter schools damaging NYC public schools, topic that rings bells a thousand miles south. Other hand: San Francisco Bay coffee for K-cups, Fog Chaser blend, different design, much cheaper, worth a try.

Scary reading from the book of Numbers for tomorrow, “Moses and the Fiery Serpents.” Wring even a Lenten sermon out of that. And a children’s time chat. 

PCNH reports this morning that Covenant Hospice will have a 15-bed residential hospice at BayMed, good news for Panama City. August 2001 Linda’s mother was stricken while we were in Tallahassee and when we were given a grim prognosis in the ER we were able to move her to a residential hospice there in town. A lovely, peaceful place and an incredible blessing.

On the home front, yesterday the raccoon trap caught a possum, who was set free. If we do finally get the raccoon though, he’s coming to your neighborhood to be released. Probably in your yard.

Shalom.
