eyes for the very first time. Confusion is suddenly untangled and the simplicity is beyond exquisite. It is honesty without hurtfulness toward others or disregard for yourself. It is respect for all. Clarity provides vision. Not of the future or the past, but of the now, because the now is all there is, really. Now is what matters. Yesterday is gone. Learn from it and move on. Tomorrow will come and become your now. Clarity is living in the now. Clarity lets you know what is right - for you and others and the planet. It combines the me with the we to create something new and beautiful between the two. It is the us.

Clarity is non-judgmental. It is kind. It is infinite. It is without ego or selfishness. It justClarityis. is decisiveness without hesitation. It provides direction. It is direction. The way forward is clearer than clear and there is no doubt, because the way forward is the only Clarityway.istruth, with a capital T. I am what I am. You are what you are. No jealousies. No apologies. Nothing more. Nothing less. Clarity is beautiful. I’ve come to revere it. Great loss brings with it the opportunity for great growth, because loss pares you down to the very core - your very bones. There is no fat left for self-deception or pretending to be what you are not. You discover - you know what you’ve always known – that you are enough, without any fluff or pretense, without disparity or distain. Clarity can be a culmination of that growth. And that right there brings the potential for infinite and unconditional peace, joy and wonderment.Clearasday. And more than wonderful. If you truly open your eyes and simply let it be.

The joy of the State Fair wife up family her and I have kept up the tradition been married. see experience at at the gadgets saw a guy make ice cream in a blender out of a an avocado, including the pit, spinach, ice and a bunch of other healthy ingredients in about five minutes time. It tasted just like key lime pie when he got done and he didn’t have to spend hours cranking and stirring the ingredients.Atanother place a guy had me put my shoe up on a box and in about two minutes he had that old dirty tennis shoe looking almost brand new. Since I didn’t buy his product, he wouldn’t clean my other shoe, which was kind of disappointing, but I didn’t have 50 bucks on me to buy everything in his kit. I have never seen so many different neck, back and foot massagers before in one place. People must have a lot of stress and aches and pains that need someLaterrelief.when my wife and her sister wanted to look at some girl stuff, I went out and walked around the fairgrounds. There was corn on the cob to eat, a delicious baked potato complete, with butter, sour cream, salsa and bacon. I also had some cheese curds and of course a cream puff. It was kind of a shame that since it was Sunday most of the animals had already headed for home, but I was able to take in some beautiful horses and riders doing some barrel racing.Finally, it was time to meet up with the ladies at the Grandstand to watch a couple of our favorite music groups in concert. Lee Greenwood and band was the first performance, and they sure didn’t disappoint. I had goosebumps when Lee sang his trademark song, Proud to be an American. He wasThengreat.to top off the evening we spent about ninety minutes listening to the Oak Ridge Boys singing favorite after favorite.Ofcourse, they closed the show with the song, Elvira. Years ago my wife, who was my girlfriend at the time, bought me their favorite hits album and I wore it out.

Lately, I’ve become acutely aware of the clarity in my life. This clarity was earned with all that I had and all that I am. I know I am not alone. I know our numbers are too great to count. Loss. Grief. Sadness. Devastation. Sorrow. Heartache.Endings that happen before we are ready. In ways we couldn’t have envisioned. In ways we never would have wanted or hoped. Ugly endings. Watching life unfold in ways we didn’t imagine but can’t ever forget. Life’s truths. We all (all!) live them out at one time or another. No one will escape life truths that we’d all rather avoid. I’m so sorry for that.

What I really liked about these two groups was the fact that they were so patriotic and that they also acknowledged that God is our strength and how much we need Him desperately during these times in which we are living. The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
There seems to be two polar opposite groups of people in our country today. The patriotic people who love this land and the freedoms and liberties we experience and those who are in the government and want to push a one-world agenda that doesn’t have much room for the United States that we know andWelove.love the United States that our grandfathers and fathers fought and died for, the land of the free and the home of the brave. I think our government is worrying too much about trying to fight other countries battles while our own country is in jeopardy. I pray that our leaders wake up soon and turn back to God for wisdom and strength.Untilnext week, God bless.
