Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

From today's Lectionary


Psalm 37:1-9


37:1 Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers,


37:2 for they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.


37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.


37:4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.


37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.


37:6 He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday.


37:7 Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices.


37:8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret--it leads only to evil.


37:9 For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

"Wait patiently for him..." In the words of the prophet Habakkuk, "How long, O Lord?" John Milton wrote, "They also serve who only stand and wait." Thanks for posting the Lectionary for those of us who continue to wait.

One of the guilty pleasures waiting patiently for Him is to see how many of the wicked so quickly "fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb."

I'm waiting as that is the only thing I can do, but those old evil doers in DC seem to live on forever. As my mother used to have a sign in her work office that said " Grant me patience Lord, but make it quick".
