Why have you shortened their days, oh Lord?
Psalm 101 (102)>
They will pass away but You will remain;
all will grow old, like clothing,
and like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed.
“But You are always the same,
Your years will never run out."
This psalm asks the age old question, "Why have you brought them down in the midst of their journey? Why have you taken them 'half way through the days of their lives?'"
I think the answer is "They will pass away, but You will remain. All will grow old, like clothing but you are always the same, your years will never run out."
All will pass away. Today, tomorrow, or the next day.
But God is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

Music Monday--Dust in the Wind
This is another one of my favorites, Dust in the Wind by Kansas. This video has some beautiful pictures to accompany the song.

Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival
Sunday Snippets is brought to you each week by RAnn at This, That and the Other Thing.
This week I posted about the beautiful new statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary that our church has purchased. They really change the whole atmosphere of the church.
On the creative front, I also shared my new crocheted cell phone case. I really love doing practical and easy crafts like this.
My poem of the week was appropriately about fall and what it feels like as a kid to stay outside in the newly cold days.
For Music Monday, a new feature here at the Well, I posted Heart's How Deep is Goes. I've been singing it to myself all week. Stay Tuned for another song tomorrow.
If you ever get the chance to have Korean Sweet Potatoes--they are well worth it! I also reviewed a coffee and tea shop in Fulton, MD, Sidamo, and a new tea (for me).
Sadly, the week brought with it another death, this time of an internet friend. I also discovered that another old friend is dying of cancer. May God be with them and their families.

Sidamo Coffee and Tea--A Review
My sister and I enjoyed a wonderful coffee shop in Fulton Maryland called Sidamo Coffee And Tea. Their main store is in Washington, DC near Union Station.
My sister had a cup of their coffee, freshly roasted and ground on the premises daily and I had a cup of Provence Rooibos which was truly a sublime and transporting experience. I had enjoyed Rooibos tea, which, by the way, is not a true tea, but a tisane made of the leaves of the red bush tree from South Africa, but had never heard of or tasted Provence Rooibos which is made with the addition of roses, lavender, and currents. The aroma alone is worth the purchase and transports you immediately to sunny French fields freshly in bloom.
I will definitely have Provence Rooibos on hand from now on. It is well worth the buying.

Special Intentions
I also just found out, via Facebook, that another friend from high school has untreatable cancer and is on hospice.
This really seems to be happening all at once. I don't know why that seems to occur, and I have no words except that some things are just not important in comparison.

7 Quick Takes Friday
1. I realize its not Friday yet, but there is something about this early darkness that makes time seem to fly while in actuality it crawls by. 2. Speaking of this early darkness, I don't like it. Darkness descends and makes me feel more alone somehow. Even when dh is home. It seems like the middle of the night and that I shouldn't be awake no matter what time it is.
6. I am also grateful for light and heat. I am blessed to live in a time where I can have both readily availble.
7. And finally, I am grateful that my vertigo has abated and that I can sleep more easily.
