Rehearsal

Pam Weinreis • Sep 30, 2020

We had rehearsal for our younger son’s and his bride to be’s wedding


They rehearsed their walk, their words, their songs, carefully prepared with great anticipation and excitement.

Do we all live our lives rehearsing?


Webster defines Rehearse: you practice work or piece for a later date; prepare for public performance.

You practice work or a piece for a later date.

I watch as they run through it one last time, and I can’t help but wonder if life is a dress rehearsal of such?

Does what we practice most reveal the condition of our soul?


I said yes to Jesus in the sixth grade, but why are there so many no days?


I live saying no as I chase time to finish each task pushing to complete the urgent


while I disregard the important for yet another day.



If “hurry empties the soul” (Ann Voskamp), I quiet possibly am missing what’s right before me.

ACTS 20:24


But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-


the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.


Life is short, and I want to live it well.


Lamentations 3:22-23


His mercies are fresh each morning.


When we read the word, we recognize the graffiti of this world as an opportunity to say yes to telling others the Good

News about the wonderful grace of God.



Until next time, Pam

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • 14 Apr, 2024
What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Loneliness

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Feb, 2024
Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That Is Truly Life

By Pam Weinreis • 10 Feb, 2024
Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Un-Hurry Your Life

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Jan, 2024
Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

Thanksgiving

By Pam Weinreis • 24 Nov, 2023
It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

New Birth

By Pam Weinreis • 27 May, 2023
The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
