Astonishing…

The Desert Fathers On blogging.
O once a brother came to Theodore of Pherme and spent three days with the abba asking him for advice. Theodore did not answer and so the younger monk went away sad. Thereupon Theodore’s disciple inquired, ‘Abba, why did you not speak with the brother? Now he has gone away sad and unconsoled.’
Abba Theodore replied, ‘As a matter of fact I said nothing to him because he is only interested in getting credit by repeating what others have said to him.’
Astonishing!

Dear Mr. Terry , Now that school is about to begin my play time is now over. I have learned so much from you.
My daughter tells me that when I blog ,that I should have kept it short ,and sweet, (sorry) ,and it should be polite ,and respectful ,at least if you wanna keep your friends.(sorry)
I thank you for the great stories , I have learned a lot. I like blogging ,but I lack social skills,and intellect. Besides I have excruciating anxiety after I write anything, further isolating myself. I thank you for your time, and your prayers. I hope that I make it to heaven to meet all of you.
Heaven will be great if people like you are there Mr.Terry .
The kids and I made a little something for you to view, it was nothing really. I hope that you enjoy it.
