Howdy Folks and Good Day!
One of the ways I’m able to keep up with SFPNN is attempting to keep it
organized. ** THANK YOU to all of our authors who keep me on track!
J ** Often I’ll schedule articles in advance because some
of our authors keep us supplied with stories several weeks ahead of their run
date. Usually this works out great!
However, there are times like this morning when I have something already scheduled to run, but an author sends in another story which is more timely. Some days I’ll just reschedule the previous article; other days I might decide to run both. That’s what I’m doing today. I hope you’ll enjoy both items by Joseph Walker this morning! I sure did.
And don’t miss Dr. Barbara’s blessings… They may be short and sweet, but they contain a lot of wisdom and insight!
Oh, and one last thing—please be sure to use the link at the bottom of every issue of SFPNN which says, “Help Save Lives.” Clicking on it will take you to the Animal Rescue site with access to the Hunger Site and other worthy causes. All you have to do is click the button and their sponsors will donate to that organization without it costing you anything. Honest! It’s a great way to make a significant difference in our world and truly help save another precious being’s life. You could literally be someone’s answered prayer today.
Have a GREAT day!
Sending you Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity

An Extra Weekly Column
By Joseph Walker
A LONG
Together.
Of course, George had to finish college
first. And there was the little matter of
unrest in the world. As a member of the
Reserve Officer Training Corps, George was duty-bound to help the war effort if
he was needed. But the Army had promised
to allow him to graduate from college before they called him up, and George and
Verda were confident that the trouble in
The events of
George was assigned to the 13th
Army infantry as it made its way through
When she received word that George had
been killed in combat Verda was devastated. She had known and loved George her whole
life, and she couldn’t imagine a future without him. Family and friends tried to encourage and
comfort her, but she was inconsolable.
“This isn’t right,” she would say over and
over. “This wasn’t supposed to happen.”
In fact, it DIDN’T happen. At least, not the way she was originally
told. George and his patrol had indeed
been caught in a treacherous crossfire, and most of his comrades were
killed. George was also hit – a German
bullet destroyed his right knee. But a
medic dragged him to safety, and he was immediately taken to an Army field
hospital. Somehow in all the confusion
his name was added to the list of the dead.
But he was very much alive. In pain, but alive.
Nearly
a month passed before the error was corrected and Verda
found out that she wasn’t a war widow after all. George was transferred to a stateside
hospital, where she could travel to visit her not-so-late husband. By the time he was released from the hospital
the war was over, and he returned to Verda, their
daughter and that long and happy life they had planned.
Together.
These days Verda
doesn’t remember much about the years that have passed since then. She sits in her comfortable chair, surrounded
by many of the beautiful ceramic figurines she has created through the years,
while George – still slightly hobbled by the injuries he received in
“They told me he died,” she says. “But he didn’t really die. Then he came home and we were a family.”
Together.

A Weekly Column
By
SIX YEARS TO A
There’s a
big day coming:
Not only does
it have a lovely, once-in-a-millennium symmetry to it, but it also marks the
end of the 1,872,000-day cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.
That’s a
long run – so long that none of the ancient Mayans who developed it are going
to be around to say “Happy New Year” to each other.
Which is sort of interesting, when you stop and think about it. These people could develop an
extraordinarily complex calendar that has endured for more than 500 centuries,
but they couldn’t figure out how to do the most basic thing in the world: stay
alive. There’s a message there for the
folks at Hallmark and Daytimer, but I’m not exactly
sure what it is.
Coincidentally
(or perhaps not?) the year 2012 will also feature a rare astronomical alignment
involving the Sun, the moon and several planets (not including, of course,
Pluto, which we now know isn’t really a planet but is merely Mickey Mouse’s
dog). According to Newsweek magazine, at
least one researcher says “he believes the alignment will trigger a reversal in
the magnetic fields of the Sun, causing it to get 10 or 20 times hotter, which
will reverse the Earth’s rotation on its axis and flood its inhabitants.”
“Mainstream
astronomers,” Newsweek hastens to add, “don’t agree.”
Whew!
There are
those in the metaphysical world who are quite worked up over what 2012 might
mean to even the non-Mayans among us.
Some see it as the end of the world (how do you say “doomsday” in
Mayan?). Others see it as a gateway
through which all manner of interesting phenomena – from spiritual healing to
UFOs – may pass.
I don’t know
about that, but I do know what 2012 represents to me. My youngest child, Jon, will turn 21 – a
fully fledged adult. A meaningful part
of my life will be over. Anita and I
will be empty-nesters. Our children will
all be adults. And
living away from home.
Which isn’t exactly a doomsday scenario. I
mean, this won’t reverse the Earth’s rotation or anything. But it’s the end of something important to
me. I love the day-to-day processes of
being a father. I love sharing meals and
TV programs. I love spontaneous
conversations and spur-of-the-moment games.
I love chasing my daughter through the house as we try to tickle each
other. I love impulsive wrestling
matches with my son on the living room floor.
I love laughing together. I love
crying together. I love working
together. I love playing together.
I just love
being . . . you know . . . together.
I know –
they will always be my children, and I will always be their father. But it’s different when your children become
adults. I know how that works. So I’m not especially looking forward to 2012
even though I understand that it’s going to happen whether I like it or not. The Mayan calendar is going to end. The Sun is going to slip into its rare
astronomical alignment. And my children
are going to grow up. There isn’t much I
can do about any of it.
Except, perhaps, to prepare for it. I can savor every moment that I
have with my two children still at home. I can make sure there are no
regrets. I can work on being a better
grandfather, and a more valuable resource to my adult children. And I can strengthen my relationship with
Anita, my best friend and partner in Life Beyond 2012.
And I can
take another lesson from the Mayans.
According to Newsweek, they viewed life as cyclical. “The world collapses,” explained David
Carrasco, professor of Latin American religions at
So I guess
that’s my personal goal for
Which, come to think of it, would make it a really big day for me and my
family.
If not the Mayans.
