YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL

 

 

 

 

 

 

OCTOBER 22^nd, 2012

 

 

YOU CAN’T HAVE IT ALL

 

 

I read other people’s writings

And I wonder how they can take those words

And make them turn out so good

Sometimes I get very jealous

And I wonder why I didn’t take those same words

And do the job that another person did

 

Don’t you know you can’t do it all

Don’t you know you have to be yourself

Don’t you know other people have talents

Don’t be afraid  to let them answer the call

 

I listen to other people’s songs

I listen to their beautiful lyrics

I hear their harmony

I wonder why I didn’t write that song

I get so frustrated, sometimes I go into hysterics

 

But don’t you know you can’t have everything

And don’t you know you can’t have it all

Don’t you know you have to be yourself

And let the chips fall

 

Don’t you know other people can have glory

Without detracting anything from you

Don’t you know other people must live their life story

There isn’t anything wrong with that

As long as you do too

 

I see the athletes on the tv

And I see the actors at the movies

And I gaze at them admiringly

But somehow I know that shouldn’t be

They’re people just like you and me

All living their own life to their own styles

Somehow, I know they’re not doing anything I couldn’t do

But you have to remember, you can’t have it all

 

I sometimes wonder if the actor wished he was an athlete

Or the athlete an actor

Or maybe the playboy wants to be a father

Or the father a playboy

 

Don’t you know you can’t have it all

It’s what you see that your life becomes

So don’t be afraid to answer the call

Don’t be afraid to respect other people’s accomplishments

Let other people have their life story

As long as you do too

Don’t you know you can’t have it all

Ps        “Those who are wise

             Will shine like the brightness of the HEAVENS

             And those who lead many to righteousness

             Like the STARS forever and ever”                                                 Daniel 9:3

 

            “Do everything without complaining or arguing

             So that you can become blameless and pure

             Children of God without fault

             In a crooked and depraved generation

             In which you shine like STARS in the universe

             As you hold out the word of life-

             -in order that I may boast on the day of Christ

             That I did not run or labor for nothing”                                     Philippians 2:14-16

THE RUMMAGE SALE=THE TIUCH OF A MASTER'S HAND

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE RUMMAGE SALE---THE TOUCH OF A MASTER’S HAND

 

 

 

 

 

Do you know

What a rummage sale is

 

It is

Something that they used to have

Maybe still do

After a person dies

 

You know the items:

        perhaps a woman’s wedding or prom dress

        or the tux or suit a man got married in

 

        maybe a lamp or an old desk

 

        or some personal items

        like books or jewelry

 

        some old furniture

 

        and over there in the corner sits an old piano

        with no one giving it much attention

 

People---men and women---are coming and going

Buying everything

While the piano continues to sit there unnoticed by everyone

Over there in the corner

 

A little while later

An elder gentleman comes in

Sits down at the piano

And begins to play

 

And beautiful music

Comes out of this old piano

 

People are clamoring about

And the bids keep getting higher---higher---yet higher

 

What changed its worth

Of course---it is

The touch of a master’s hand

 

We too

Are like the old piano

Trying to build a life

On all the wrong things:        greed and materialism

                                               sexual lust and perversions

                                               our addictions---drugs-alcohol-and pornography

                                               and whatever else in our life that we are putting above God

 

SO WHAT CHANGES US

 

Of course

It is the touch of God

THE TOUCH OF A MASTER’S HAND

 

The moment

We realize that we are a CHILD OF GOD

That God loves us

With an everlasting---never-ending

UNCHANGING kind of love

 

The moment we realize our worth

The ONLY worth that matters

Comes from God

 

“These have come

So that your faith

Of greater worth than gold

Which perishes even though refined by fire---

May be proved genuine

And may result

In praise, glory, and honor

When Jesus Christ is revealed”                                                          1 Peter1:7

 

“Instead---it should be that your inner self

The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit

Which is of great worth in God’s sight”                                                 1 Peter 3:4

 

Your worth

Your REAL worth

Can only be found in God

And found through

 

THE TOUCH OF A MASTER’S HAND

A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES

 

 

Life is living

Life is dying

Life is caring

Life is sharing

But most of all

Life is

A lifetime of memories

 

Make a memory

Give them love

Try to make them happy

If you can

Life is caring

Life is a lifetime of memories

 

Trouble will come

Trouble will follow

Stand together

No matter

What the weather

You can make it

 

Life is caring

Life is sharing

Life is

A lifetime of memories

 

Life is

Sharing the happy times

Life is

Sharing the sad times too

Life is caring

Life is sharing

SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHO JUST WAS=THIS SAINT PAUL=OF THE CROSS?

 

As MANY of you KNOW=I was AWAY last weekend=With 60 OTHER

Good Christian-Catholic MEN=At Saint Paul’s MONASTERY=On the SOUTH SIDE

Of Pittsburgh=It was ONE of the=MOST SPIRITUALLY FULFILLING WEEKENDS=Of my life!

 

There were Masses=Holy Communions=and a confession=and there were NUMEROUS=

Prayer study groups=Which DID VALIDATE=Much of what I believe=and WRITE ABOUT=But it

GOT ME=to thinking=Who just was=THIS SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS?=and this is

WHAT I came up with

 

SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS (1694=to 1775)

Saint Paul of the CROSS=was a PRIEST=as well as the FOUNDER OF=THE PASSIONIST CONGREGATION=He was BORN in Genoa=and was the ELDEST SON=of an impoverished

Businessman=With NOBLE ancestry=He was brought up DEVOUTLY=from an early age=

And he TURNED DOWN=a rich inheritance=and a PROSPEROUS MARRIAGE  OPPORTUNITY=

He volunteered to FIGHT the Turks in 1714=AFTERWARDS He spent several YEARS=IN PRAYER=Until 1720=When he had a VISION=for a NEW CONGREGATION=

 

Which was tested=and eventually APPROVED=When HE=and his younger Brother John=and a FEW

OTHER COMPANIONS=Started a congregation in 1727=After Paul was ordained a priest=His

BELIEFS were austere=and He combined PENANCE=with an INTENSE DEVOTION to Jesus

Christ=Which he BELIEVED should be COMMUNICATED to others=Through mission

Work=In the parishes=Paul believed in COMBINING the ACTIVE LIFE  with the  CONTEMPLATIVE

LIFE

 

Saint Paul’s  MINISTRY=to the sick=and the dying=and for sinners=WAS so outstanding=That

His presence=Was requested THROUGHOUT ITALY=MANY of the young people left=Because

His teachings were so austere=but the WORK CONTINUED=with the FOUNDING of 3 houses

In 1747=and PAPAL approbation was  coming

 

Paul was a GIFTED PREACHER=especially on the subject=Of the PASSION of Jesus Christ=but he

Also had gifts of prophecy=and of HEALING=and was ABLE to read people’s HEARTS=Saint

Paul was very interested=IN THE Reconciliation=with the Church of England=with the Holy See!=

And FINAL PAPAL APPROVAL=for his congregation=was given in  1769=Where Paul RESIDED=

At the Churches of Saints John and Paul IN ROME

 

Paul wrote his ORDER in 5 days=at the age of 26=After 40 days of RETREAT AND PENANCE=and

THE PASSIONISTS CONTINUE today=as my weekend last week=ATTESTS TOO=Saint  Paul died

At the age of 80=and his FEAST DAY is=October 19^th

 

IN the names of Jesus=and our FOREVER LIVING and loving=Holy Father God!

Robert P. Wallman=3-11-2026

 

PS          =WHILE I loved this past weekend=I/WE are the TOTAL SUM=of all of our EXPERIENCES

                   And I would NOT be=The person I am today=WITHOUT MY CHURCHES From Florida

                   And their CONTINUED EXISTENCE=IN MY LIFE

FOR A REASON!

 

 

 

 

 

 

OCTOBER 20^th, 2012

 

 

FOR A REASON

 

 

I live

For a reason

I love

For a reason

 

I eat

For a reason

I sleep

For a reason

Everything in my life

Is for a reason

 

It is a reason

That we live

It is a reason

That we die

And it is not always

Up to us

To know the reason why

 

The reason is God’s

And God’s alone

What is up to us

Is just to have faith

And follow the road

Wherever it leads

 

I live

For a reason

I love

For a reason

 

And when my time is up

And it is my time to die

The reason will be God’s alone

 

My whole life (and death)

Will be his reason (God’s)

Ps       “Come now, let us REASON together

            Says the Lord

            Though your sins are scarlet

            They will be as white as snow

            Though they are red as crimson

            They shall be like wool”                                                               Isaiah 1:18

 

            “But in your hearts

             Set apart Christ as Lord

 

             Always be prepared to give an answer

             To everyone who asks you to give the REASON

             For the HOPE that you have

             But do this with gentleness and respect”                                       1 Peter 3:15
