Good Grief!

How does one approach the subject of grief? On tiptoe I suppose. Everyone, they say, grieves differently. Who is to say if we should or should not grieve, or the intensity which we should grieve with?

Whether we grieve for ourselves, or we grieve for others ... These also are unique to one another. Sometimes it is with sympathy, some times it is with empathy.

If you find yourself or a loved one in a grievous situation, know that the Lord is the greatest Comforter of all. Emily Dickenson wrote a wonderful poem that may be comforting to those who are experiencing grief. I hope it lifts you up and helps bring serenity to you, or helps you bring another to peace.

Emily Dickinson's unconventional capitalization is intentional, elevating abstract nouns and key pronouns into distinct, weighted entities.

I measure every Grief I meet
Emily Dickinson
1830 – 1886

I measure every Grief I meet
With narrow, probing, eyes – 
I wonder if It weighs like Mine – 
Or has an Easier size.

I wonder if They bore it long – 
Or did it just begin – 
I could not tell the Date of Mine – 
It feels so old a pain – 

I wonder if it hurts to live – 
And if They have to try – 
And whether – could They choose between – 
It would not be – to die – 

I note that Some – gone patient long – 
At length, renew their smile – 
An imitation of a Light
That has so little Oil – 

I wonder if when Years have piled – 
Some Thousands – on the Harm –
That hurt them early – such a lapse
Could give them any Balm – 

Or would they go on aching still
Through Centuries of Nerve – 
Enlightened to a larger Pain – 
In Contrast with the Love – 

The Grieved – are many – I am told – 
There is the various Cause – 
Death – is but one – and comes but once – 
And only nails the eyes – 

There's Grief of Want – and grief of Cold – 
A sort they call "Despair" – 
There's Banishment from native Eyes – 
In sight of Native Air – 

And though I may not guess the kind – 
Correctly – yet to me
A piercing Comfort it affords
In passing Calvary – 

To note the fashions – of the Cross – 
And how they're mostly worn – 
Still fascinated to presume
That Some – are like my own – 



Oven Baked Stuffed Jalapenos

1 bar Cream Cheese (any kind) at room temperature
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¾ cup diced ham or cooked meat of your choice
10 fresh jalapeno peppers

Preheat oven to 375°.
Slice jalapenos lengthwise, leaving the stems on (they make good handles when eating them).
Remove seeds and pith from inside jalapenos.
Mix cream cheese, cheddar and meat with a large fork.
Load each jalapeno shell with the mixture and lay on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 30 minutes.

Crumbled breakfast sausage is a great option for your meat choice.
