I’ve been offline for a while. Some of you have noticed; the calls and texts kinda gave it away. You cannot know how much they mean to me.

I’m back now and I really don’t want to talk about why I was gone.

If you will, please accept this:

Life chose to dump about a decade of bad luck on me over the course of 2-3 weeks. In the middle of trying to handle that, I got very sick. I was overwhelmed and something had to give. I let go of TGT.

In hindsight, that was regrettable. It wasn’t the wrong thing to do but it sure hurt. Whenever I’m capable of forming coherent sentences, I should probably stick around. The people and interactions here are too valuable to neglect. At the point I stopped posting, though, I was sick enough that I couldn’t write coherent sentences.

That crisis has passed. The rest of the stuff on my plate, well, to quote a favorite character, “There’s obstacles in our path and we’re gonna deal with ‘em, one by one.”

It’s good to be back.

Glad to have you back! Prayers for your continued health and strength to keep overcoming those obstacles.

Sometimes I wonder how we, who have endured so much, can even keep breathing. Somehow we find a way. GZY. Gam Zeh Ya'avor.

****

One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister.

He said to him, "Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it."

"If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty," replied Benaiah, "I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?"

"It has magic powers," answered the king. "If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy."

Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility. Spring passed and then summer, and still Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before Sukkot, he decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day's wares on a shabby carpet.

"Have you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?" asked Benaiah.

He watched the grandfather take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile. That night the entire city welcomed in the holiday of Sukkot with great festivity.

"Well, my friend," said Solomon, "have you found what I sent you after?" All the ministers laughed and Solomon himself smiled. To everyone's surprise, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, "Here it is, your majesty!"

As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" "This too shall pass."

At that moment Solomon realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust.

****
Love and peace to you, our friend.

Good morning. Drinking coffee and relaxing before work. Did prep work yesterday for the hurricane that will more likely just have minimal impact to Corpus Christi. Prayers to Texans up the coast. Stay safe.
