Conversation Lost!

The room fell silent

when nimble fingers began

scrolling down their screens.

Independence Day 2025

Actually a few days after Independence Day in Deadwood, South Dakota on vacation. We stayed at the 3-story "Lookout-Tower" Vrbo cabin in the Gilded Mount community just outside Lead, SD, and at an elevation of  5570 ft. A wonderful experience.

Memories

Once, when no sleep came,

he let his mind wander through

his best memories.

"The Word Was the True Light"

"In the Beginning was the Word:

the Word was with God

and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things came to be,

not one thing had its being but through him.

All that came to be had life in him

and that life was the light of men,

a light that shines in the dark,

a light that darkness could not overpower.

A man came, sent by God

His name was John.

He came as a witness,

as a witness to speak for the light,

so that everyone might believe through him.

He was not the light,

only a witness to speak for the light. 

The Word was the true light

that enlightens all men;

and he was coming into the world.

He was in the world

that had its being through him,

and the world did not know him.

He came to his own domain

and his own people did not accept him.

But to all who did accept him

he gave power to become children of God,

to all who believe in the name of him

who was born not out of human stock

or urge of the flesh

or will of man

but of God himself.

The Word was made flesh,

he lived among us,

and we saw his glory,

the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father,

full of grace and truth."
