PLB Editorial- A Great 'Normal' Day πŸ“…

Whenever you read this there's no reason to consider today another normal, unadventurous and unexciting day. Now, it’s about context, some people need that 'normal' day, some people have had so many terrible and toxic days that they simply want that 'normal' day back. No drama, or supernatural event, just the shining sun 🌞, the trees and the shade they give, the blowing leaves, the wind, a lake, river or the ocean in sight and a bottle of water or cup of coffee in hand. For some people, that used to be normal until something happened and disrupted their entire reality. Interestingly, they only realised how wonderful their days were when it was long gone... we can do better to appreciate each day.

The day doesn’t have to be dramatic or “supernatural” to be wonderful- love, tranquil and watching normal people just living on the good side of the human experience can be a beautiful experience. Like staying put atop a tall building or walking the beach side, even easier, just sitting outside the house and observing people and nature.

The whole point is, 'normal' can be a blessing. In my books, the scenario relayed above makes for an absolutely beautiful day. Tranquility is a beautiful place to be, unclogged thoughts and clear-cut imagination, staying on a thought and seeing it through to action points; writing a new page for my novel, seeing new perspectives on subject matters, listening to genuine stories and accounts, having open-minded discussions, seeing a dream unfold, gently unwrapping a gift, being kind (and sometimes receiving appreciation for it), practising love to all and allowing my smiles linger a little longer, ignoring distractions, receiving and giving good news, helping a stranger, helping a friend, an undisturbed deep sleep, getting once-for-all-time grade answers to lingered questions πŸ’‘, having enlightening and practical conversations (Ooooh this one!) enjoying people.

A great day is in your hands, even if it seems simply 'normal'.

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He ...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
