“Talking about independence is one thing – being truly independent is another,” says the advertisement I saw this afternoon in the magazine called FAMILY CARE, Issue 28, in our local library.
An INVACARE PEGASUS SCOOTER is advertised
DEPENDABILITY
and the cost is only $3,995 including GST. There is also a photo of the scooter.
Coming out of the library I am encouraged to vote for DEPENDABILITY in the upcoming Local Body Elections in October.
From what I read inside the library and from what I read outside the library it seems to me, that I can choose between “being truly independent” and “dependability”. Do I get that right?
But I have learnt already long ago that we cannot choose between being independent and being dependent.
We are dependent beings. We are dependent on God. We are not self-existent.
ONLY GOD IS SELF-EXISTENT!

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy is when men are afraid of the light.”
Please read what the Bible says in John 3:19-21!

Readers of the local paper, and I am a reader, THE NORTHLAND AGE, are invited to submit photos depicting the Far North’s special qualities to the editor for “THIS IS OUR PLACE.”
Beautiful East Coast of Northland
I submitted the image above ( East Coast of Northland in WINTER) and it appeared in THE NORTHALND AGE, Tuesday, September 10, 2013.
One good thing about being retired is that you don’t have any deadlines.
It was only yesterday that I was working on a post and when the post was almost finished, something happend, and everything was gone from the computer screen.
I tried for quite some time to retrieve the words, but with no avail. I had to write the story A MARTYR from scratch.
My consolation was telling myself, “Am I glad that I don’t work for a boss and according to deadlines!”
