Exasperated! Angry! Disgusted! At your wits end! In our world today our lives are chaotic at best and often reflect the world around us. This is a space regardless of faith, race, nationality, age, family status or gender for the discussion of the individual’s spiritual journey. This is a journey of how we come to terms with ourselves, develop our strength and find inner peace. Join me, and share in the adventure.
The food pantry on a Wednesday afternoon outside the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Paula California
Reaching Out to Those in Need
The Food Pantry is the result of COVID-19. Prior to COVID-19 there was a Many Meals program every Wednesday afternoon. Cooked meals were prepared and offered at First Presbyterian Church. With COVID-19, we could no longer gather to eat, so food is now collected and prepared to be passed-out to those in need.

The Diver in Paestrum, Italy
Between 2,525 and 2,550 years ago a man died in the area of Paestum, Italy, about 65 miles south of Naples and a couple of miles inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The use of very expensive Egyptian Blue paint in the frescos inside his tomb indicate he was a wealthy individual. There have been over 1,000 excavations in the area and they have found nothing similar to this tomb. The Diver frescos show that even 2,525 years ago, some believed in a celebration of life and that death was merely a transition from this life into the next experience.

There is a peace and magic which surrounds Lower Slaughter. We felt it the first time we were there in 2017. With a population of about 250, the village is over 1,000 years old. Access to the A429 highway allows for a steady stream of day-trippers. Tours of the stone homes, the paths along the River Eye, the museum at the paddle wheel mill, and St. Mary’s Church are the main attractions.
Walk Around Stow-on-the-Wold, Cotswold, England
Our driver picked us up at the Brooks Guest House in Bath for a 90 minute ride to Broadwell. There was some confusion as to where our trail started, but after a quick exchange with the host of the Fox Inn we found the trail on the southern edge of the town and started our 1.6 mile walk toward Stow-on-the-Wold.
