FOR ROBY

dear readers of the sandler family archives blog,

suddenly, the interface between blogger and my computer is not working. I am typing this in all lower case but when it appears on the blog, it is in all caps ! I posted a question to HELP on blogger. 

WHO SINGS IN THE CHOIR ON YOM KIPPUR ?

CREDO by Robert Sandler

Tonight is Erev Yom Kippur. Roby's words seem to capture 
the meaning of it.

CREDO

In our spiritual moments . . .
     Let us feel a sense of awe and reverence for the majesty and grandeur of the "ORIGINAL AND CONTINUING CREATIVE ENERGY IN THE UNIVERSE" (OCCEU).

     Let us PRAY as if there IS a listening Deity, albeit with  unknown attributes and capabilities.

In our daily lives . . .
     Let us work and love and interact with other human beings as if there is NO listening Deity ...as if we are all responsible for our own destiny and for the destiny of the human race.

Let us acknowledge the inscrutable reality that random tragic accidents do happen indiscriminately to good people and to bad people.

Let us do whatever we CAN do to prevent those evils, wrongs, illnesses, accidents, etc. that are preventable.

Let us cope, stoically, with those  inexplicable-often very painful -evil or tragic events that are beyond our capability to control.

Let us then go on, constructively, always hoping, always working for our own well being and for the well being of the entire human race.          
     

GO SEATTLE MARINERS !

The Red Sox are nine games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays who are playing the Seattle Mariners today after losing to them yesterday ! Go Mariners !

Meantime we came from behind to a stunning 12-8 victory over the Yankees ! We haven't seen such good baseball around here in years !!!

I am betting right now that Felix Doubront goes to the bullpen when Bucholtz returns next week. He lasted about three innings last night. Dempster is pitching better.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED by Robert Sandler

I have more than a few articles by Roby that aren't on the blog. Here is one of them.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED

I've learned that:

     no matter what happens, or how bad things seem today,life does go on, and -     tomorrow could be better.

I've learned that:

     you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three situations: a rainy day, a failure or defeat,a cranky child.

I've learned that:

     regardless of what problems may have existed in your      relationship with your parents, you will miss them when they are gone.

I've learned that:

     life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that:

     if you pursue happiness, it may elude you, but if you focus on your family, on your friends, on your work, and on the needs of others, happiness will find you.

I've learned that:

     even when I have pain, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that:

     it is worth reaching out and touching someone every day.

I've learned that:

     from infancy, people love the human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that:

     there is awful lot that I do not know.
