I have decided that my writing lyrics, poetry and essays are an intrinsic definition of who I am today as well as a picture of my past. The main purpose of the marble project is and has been that my progeny might be able to see the effects of my actions and thoughts, both good and bad. I will continue to post my writings on http://www.ronslyrics.homestead.com/ in the hope of gaining some sort of income to help sustain Catherine and I during this later portion of our lives. My life choices in conjunction with the normal course of non controllable life occurrence has led to a poverty level of life at this particular time. I might note however that God has seen our plight and has nudged others to help sustain us. I have found that having a strong faith in the Christian belief that the Father is our source of sustenance has great credence.
I seem to have gone in a circle in my life, one of trusting that my parents would provide food, lodging and just about everything else I would ever need; then that good fortune would always give me the means to attain whatever goods and service my life would require; from there to believing that I could talk others into almost anything, and because of that ability to sell, I would always have employment; from all this I moved into the realm of belief that my thoughts could create the abundance that my life required; and finally that IF I could work hard enough and smart enough that success would be mine. All of these have an element of truth to them but none are stand alone answers, at least not for me. In my life I have been blessed with so many talents that knowing direction has been a maze of uncompleted direction. It's almost as if God has been telling me "Ron no matter how great you think you are mentally and creatively you will need to come to ME first and until you learn about Me (God the Father) your fruits will be failure and frustration.
Prior to losing my design business, my home, most all of my worldly possessions I continued to TRY to bail us out of what was our inevitable financial failure. In the last struggles I attempted to do it all by myself, with Catherine's help, by working 12 to 14 hours a day at designing, stock market analysis, day trading, and a start up restaurant. Trusting in God to the point that "our daily bread" was still a product of what I did. My current belief is that God is the provider and we do with his providence.

- Why Marbles My 1st blog attempt Was an answer to a promise I made to my eldest son when I handed him a jar full of marbles. The marbles were from a collection saved by my mother over the years of my childhood, and I must admit that if left to me I would have already lost all of my marbles. My son asked if I could jot down some of the ways these marbles were used I told him I would write down as much as I could remember and send it to him later. I am the supreme procrastinator of all time which resulted in him sending me a reminder at which time he promised not to lose my marbles and I reassured him that I would get busy and tell him and his children how the beautiful round bits of glass and minerals were used for amusement and competition. My Response2 blog arose out of frustration with the attitudes and lack of respect for our country, our traditional ethics, and educational system. Rons Lyrics and Poetry started just because my scribbles needed a place to rest.
