the smedley log - suburban scrawl

Helpless sharpshooters, elusive targets

“Alison, I know this world is killing you;
Alison, my aim is true.”
- Elvis Costello

Sometimes nothing changes until those who need help decide to seek it for themselves. And it doesn’t matter how desperately you wish you could make them see.

This is just a brief thought for those whose aim is true, and those who want nothing to do with salvation – at least not yet.

By the way, happy Labor Day. Don’t forget to appreciate the working folks you come into contact with today.

Oh, and happy birthday to my sister, who works pretty hard herself.

Wow, that’s a powerful thought. And I just love that Elvis Costello song…you always have such an interesting way of interpreting…a poet’s view.

Happy Labor Day. Happy birthday to Sister of Howard!

Thanks, Frank.

The day was good. I took a break from the moving headaches to visit my sister for Labor/birthday. We had Indian food and about a thousand kids swarming the place. Lot of fun.

Happy belated sister-birthday. Boy, your mom likes those early-in-the-month birthdays….
