Passing Through
Don’t hold on too tightly;
See the light shining brightly —
Let earthly things grow dim;
Hold onto life lightly.
Your wealth, your possessions,
But briefly will last.
What good do they do you,
When too closely grasped?
We’re just passing through,
And life’s but a gleam.
Just love for God and others
Makes worthy our theme.
We’re on our way through;
The world seems an illusion,
With dangers and snares,
Fraught with tears and confusion.
There’s just one exception:
The good that we live,
The love that we share
And compassion we give.

Dolly Parton and Chili
On Saturday, we had dinner at our favorite (Cincinnati) chili place. They serve a lot of other things, but the word “chili” is in the restaurant name.
Since Dolly Parton had passed away four days earlier, the restaurant had a Dolly Parton theme. In evidence were Dolly Parton t-shirts, menu items, cowboy hats, pink balloons and other decorations, and silent videos featuring Dolly Parton were playing on the restaurant screens.
The little I know of Dolly Parton gives me a sense that she was an extremely generous, faith-filled, and delightful person, with a sense of humor, and known for her transparency. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
