Promise

My husband and I were talking last night of the importance of hanging on to the positive, every day. This is not denial or ignorance. This is hanging on to whatever small gift we are given, this minute, this day.  No matter how tiny it may seem, there is always a glimmer of hope.

Nothing lasts but the promise of eternity.  Therefore, whatever small positive may exist *is* the hope we have to hang onto today.

Grab it and don't let go.

Rest

Make frequent use of confession to avail yourself of God's grace available in the sacrament.  These are trying times and the evil one is all too ready to take full advantage of our weaknesses.

God's grace is there for the asking, ready to be poured out on us like a balm for our tired souls.

Come to Me, all ye who are tired and overburdened and I will give you rest.

A Six Minute Retreat

Come away with me to a six minute retreat in Emmittsburg, Maryland. Feel the cool breeze and listen to the sound of the water as it falls gently over the rocks.

What is God saying to you?

Robert Moog, Inventor of the Moog Synthesizer dies

Those of you of a certain age, or those into the music scene might want to know that Robert Moog, inventor of the Moog Synthesizer died Sunday at the age of 71 of a brain tumor.

Moog (rhymes with "vogue") changed the music scene in the 60's and 70's with his synthesizer. Bands like Yes, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer used Moog's made extensive use of Moog's sound. Although the term is often used to be synonymous with all electronic music sound, that is an incorrect usage.

Does anyone have any memories of the early synthesizer sound? I remember hearing a recording of "Bicycle built for two "sung" entirely by a synthesizer, in the early 70's. It was quite eerie, actually.

May he rest in peace.
