qos | Take Five Minutes. .. .

The crush at work has abated for a while, and I'm facing what will probably be a long and boring day.

This is an invitation to take a mere five minutes and leave a comment on this entry by typing anything that occurs to you: stream of consciousness, a favorite memory, a witty or obvious observation, questions for me or for the universe, the beginning of a story, a book or movie recommendation, anything that occurs to you, so I can have something interesting, or intriguing, or amusing, or even mystifying, to read at work today.

Consider it your charitable contribution for the day. It will net you some good karma.
Really!

... so I'm going to give you two verses of a hymn we used to sing in his honor at my home church, when I was a kid:

Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea!
Day by day his clear voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow me!"

As of old St. Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.

I wish I could reproduce the tune for you. It has a rollicking rhythm suggestive of a rocking horse, or of a boat on rough water. *g*

Oh, I know the tune!
Thanks for the memory!

We used to carry a St. Andrews cross flag as part of the Troop's heraldry.
