LIES
AND CONSEQUENCES
We’ve all heard the phrase:
“Truth and/or Consequences.”
But what about the consequences
of our lies? I would think that
pondering them would bear the most fruit.
I would think that they stick to our
memories the most and the deepest.
And maybe after that first big lie,
the ones that followed had the
greatest cling and the greatest damage

APPLAUSE
Tell me about a moment in your life
when you experienced applause.
Everyone needs at least 3 of them.
You did a drawing and it made the
refrigerator door. You got the winning
hit or score in softball game. You had
a part in a school play and you were
great – and the audience clapped.
As I said, “Everyone needs at least 3.
What were yours? Take some time
and take a good look back at your life.”

CRACKERS
AND CHEESE
Crackers and cheese –
So simple. Yet they could
represent some caring. Some
stopped into the supermarket
to get them – thinking,
“He likes crackers and cheese.”
Then comes the moment
of holy communion: “Here ….
I know you like crackers and cheese.”

GOLDEN
MOMENTS
I don’t know if I ever had one –
that is: a golden moment.
Who did or does? Every
moment has coffee stains
or tiny rips or dents. If we
could unravel our motives
we would find sneaky
slights of hand or selfishness.
But why do that? Why do that?
We do what we do because
of the good example of our
parents or just plain luck.
