Precious People






Because I have always known that there is the risk of dying with any surgery where a general anesthesia is used, I am not surprised that my mind is thinking about last moments. 



Not a single one of the thoughts that has come to mind has had to do with anything other than the wonderful people I have the privilege to know and love.





Quick Change






In watching a recent Iowa/Indiana football game being played in Iowa, the score was 21-7 in favor of Indiana. An interception and score by Iowa made the score 21-14. In an instant, the crowd went from depressed and discouraged to ecstatic because somebody made a score in a game.



What makes us think we cannot change our feelings in an instant?





Unconditional Loving-Kindness






A twelve year old with a brain tumor. A twenty-three year old scholar with a totally dysfunctional immune system.  A mother of three killed to facilitate the purchase of drugs.



What in the world makes us think that there is anything more important than unconditional loving kindness in every second?
