Blessed rain

Blessed is the rain that fell today

relieving the heat of the unforgiving sun

and quenching the thirst of man and land

I vote for mother earth

We have too many of these...

.. an election staple that most people never really pay any attention to...

...and end up like this...

...at least this kid is doing something, even if it is for the wrong motive...

there has to be a better way.

Voting in an automated election

In exercising my right to vote, I always try to avoid the expected crowd. This year's automated election, the country's first, is no exception. I was one of the early ones in the precinct, arriving quarter to seven but there was already a considerable number of people in line. I'm guessing that since this is a first, people were excited.

It was a humid morning and it was not helping that my line was in an enclosed hallway. But I'm not about to complain because others were not as lucky with their line extending in the lawn and under the sun.

After about an hour of waiting, tempers flared a little. Our line was slow in moving because of the priority given to the elderly.

Other than that and one ballot that was rejected by the PICOS machine, everything went smoothly when I was in the precinct.

It took me five minutes to fill up my ballot and another five minutes for me to feed my ballot to the machine, for the machine to accept the ballot, for the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) to put indelible ink on my finger and for me to put my thumb mark on the voter's list.

Garden in a pot

The fruit of my Lemonsito bonsai at home now has a dark orange color and is now starting to have a red tinge to it. It looks so yummy fresh when I sprayed it with water!

Gospel Jam presents ...As Unto The Lord

Last Sunday's Gospel Jam was as always a blessing. The theme for the night was ...As Unto The Lord: Biblical Principles of Work & Service. This is the first time that Gospel Jam incorporated in its program the teachings of Crown ministries. An effective and enjoyable way of sharing the biblical principles of work not only to the audience but to the artists and staff as well.
