I keep reminding myself that whatever your life is like today, there is no guarantee that it will be like this tomorrow. We have to not only be ready for change but accept it happily.<br /><br />As for that scripture you quoted at the end of your post- very appropriate and, might I say...lyrical?Bob Barbanes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344068760904928223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-90212324135483126872010-03-06T14:43:29.781-06:002010-03-06T14:43:29.781-06:00I like the new look, Bob.

The blog is looking sharp. I enjoyed you...Bob... <br /><br />The blog is looking sharp. I enjoyed your post. The weather in Florida is positively sharp... 40 at night, 60 during the day. I love it, but we get a lot of mumbling from the baseball tourists.<br /><br />I did not know you were in banking. I populated that world for about 23 years of my career in finance, hr and call center. The consumer regulation lawyers were bored, but expert... the real estate attorneys were always living a rock an roll life as we tried to foreclose on Donald Trump or somesuch, and my favorite attorney was the litigation manager. We got to sit down quarterly and figure out how much we should set aside in case we lost to employees, shareholders or didn't recover from thieves. <br /><br />I wonder, if attorneys took a vote, where would most want to practice?<br /><br />I attended an Episcopal church in Connecticut for 3 years that was welcoming and harmonious. I've not found a "church home" since then. I truly enjoyed the closing of your post. There isn't much in poetry or prose that can beat it.<br /><br />quidquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954222271507913856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-10954903767007171512010-03-06T08:25:52.530-06:002010-03-06T08:25:52.530-06:00Reg E or Credit Card Act getting on your nerves, e...Reg E or Credit Card Act getting on your nerves, eh?<br /><br />:)Redleftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834798382800790723noreply@blogger.com
