Micah 6:8
2 Corinthians 5:1-7
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is World Sauntering Day! It was created in 1979 by the brilliant W.T. "Bill" Rabe in response to the growing popularity of jogging. The idea behind the day was to encourage people to slow down and appreciate the world around them. Sauntering is a slow walk, without hurry, that opens the heart to the little things in life.
Bill Rabe used to say that one can only saunter if one has no particular destination in mind. He was a genius in many ways, the originator of Detroit's "Ask the Professor" radio show, the annual list of words banished from the English language, promoter of Unicorn Hunting (actually offering a course in the topic at Lake Superior State University. I'm fairly certain he also started the World Stone Skipping Championships up there as well. What a fun guy, and definitely missed these nearly thirty years since his passing.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
