  1. Peace back to you billixi and the entire BMG community.

    <

    p>I recite this over and over in an attempt to get this monkey mind of mine to stop thinking about politics.

    <

    p>

    May we be happy and peaceful and light in body and mind.

    May we be safe and fee from accidents.

    May we be free from anger and afflictions and fear and anger.

    <

    p>Sometimes works.  

  2. I hope for all here to be as happy as they can be and for everyone around us to be just as happy. Enjoy the Holidays and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

  5. “Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.
    He never owned a home. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself…

    <

    p>While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. While He was dying His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth – His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.

    <

    p>Nineteen long centuries have come and gone, and today He is a centerpiece of the human race and leader of the column of progress.

    <

    p>I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, all the navies that were ever built; all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that one solitary life.”

    <

    p>The above was written by Dr. James Allen Francis in 1926 and is probably the most eloquent statement about the man whose birth Christians celebrate today which I have read or heard.  It addresses His human impact without getting into the theology of divinity or anything like that.  Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and peace to all!

  6. Billxi and all peace to everyone.

    <

    p>We may not see eye-to-eye sometimes, but that is what makes the world go around!

    <

    p>Peace and joy in this holiday season and everyday!

    <

    p>Prosperous new year to all!

    • I am not always sure what happiness is, and am greateful that the serenity prayer does not wear out:

      <

      p>God grant me the serenity

      <

      p>to accept the things I cannot change

      <

      p>And the courage to try to change the things I should

      <

      p>As well as the wisdom to choose when to act.

      <

      p>To the BlueMassGroup community, I wish you all:

      <

      p>Good health
      Enough money to pay your bills, stay warm, and eat well
      time spent peacefully with those you care about.

      <

      p>That is close enough to “happiness” for me.

      • Here is the second stanza of the SP, which I truly love.

        <

        p>”Grant me patience with the changes that take time,
        An appreciation for all that I have,
        Tolerance for those with different struggles,
        And the strength to get up and try again,
        One day at a time.”

        <

        p>Blessings.
