The cyclical nature of our lives can either be very apparent or just part of the stream as we flow through life. Yesterday\s sermon reminded me once again that God is always in our lives but seldom are we so lucky to sense His direction in how our life flows. Perhaps it is because we do not always listen; no ideas on that. A religious person but certainly not a scholar but to the depth of my soul I believe that God is always with us but seldom interferes in the flow of our lives. When He sent Jesus to those of us who are Christians; His intent was clear; He gave us clear concise rules to live by and here we are two thousand years later still working on those concise rules for the most part as we survive one potential armageddon after another. Amazing really.
Today the basement and so the cleaning routine goes on but I am never in a state where I have to rush about cleaning. Not my thing that for sure. Time is there for us to use for what we want to do mostly although we are also driven by what needs to be done.
Continuing to work on Chromosome 9 and this time through I am solving all the queries that caused me to look at it a month or so ago and I am satisfied with the outcome. Just a couple more cross over points to feel satisfied with and on to the next chromosome to work on namely chromosome 8. The frequency of two of my cousins marrying in England is considerably higher than anywhere else in the world except Australia and New Zealand although it is lower there than in England itself. This chromosome displays that happening a number of times but not unexpected as I do know of several such marriages there.
The Prime Minister continues doing the sort of job that we need done as he is at these Conferences in Asia. He carries Canada's banner high and circumstances are fortunate in that our goods are available at a time when people are wanting them. Myself I was never much interested in being involved in politics and so keep most of my comments to myself although I think supporting the current government if you approve is a good vocalization. Perhaps some funding should be available with the opposition party (Conservative) to support our trade around the world. How this might be done is perhaps a mystery; not really sure but I feel that not having world experience does make one conscious of the limitations of these leaders which is perhaps the biggest problem with career politicians. It is always better I suspect to go into this job with contacts and experience (and that is what has hurt the Conservative party at the polls these past elections) although I supported youth with my vote and do continue doing so because the weight of this recovery will be on their shoulders but definitely the old has to be there - buying Canadian, spending in Canada to help us along this path (and there are a lot of retired Baby Boomers for sure and more will flood into that state as AI enters into the fray just like the computer age sent people retiring early). That really has to be our mantra for a bit because we are a huge group (the old, I am a member of the Silent Generation born right at the end of World War II and there are still a lot of the War and pre-war Generations (everyone older than me and those born before the Second World War and during the Recession and also during the Roaring Twenties and even some from the First World War and then the Spanish Flu days!)) - buy Canadian when it is available. Concentrating so much on Canada from a viewpoint of criticism is part of their job as the Opposition I realize that but they also need to have more world experience.That was something I learned from my uncle and my grandmother and they learned it from my grandfather who loved to talk politics having learned it from the best his mother's first cousin Sir John Carling.
Up early and the first set of exercises completed. Reading the email is next. Then drinking my tea and doing my solitaire puzzles.
