“ JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT”

Oh our Mother the Earth,
oh our Father the Sky,
Your children are we, and with tired backs
We bring you the gifts that you love.
Then weave for us a garment of brightness.
May the warp be the bright light of morning;
May the fringes be the falling rain;
May the borders be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness,
that we may walk fittingly where birds sing;
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green.
Oh our Mother the Earth, oh our Father the Sky.
-American Indian - tewa song
Welcome to Journey With Spirit, known as JWS. This journey began many years ago when I began my career at General Motors Corporation. After thirty years of travel, recruiting, staffing divisions, global engineering, staffing divisions, re-engineering operations, creating soft skill training, opening new Dealerships around the nation, after the many assignments and re-locations, marriage and loss of my dear spouse Ernest C. Browne, Jr. I retired, left Michigan and discovered my work was not yet done. SO_ here I am.
Creative writer and founder of JWS, and I ask that you join me as we travel this road_ called life.

Why am I Here?
Before your parents met, you were in God's thoughts_ part of a plan for your entry into the world. As time passed, your mission, purpose, were recorded, and your parents were assigned as a match for you, A match that would guide you as you fulfill God's purpose for your life.
Jesus speaks in Matthew 15: 18 “Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart.” Before the change of governance in our land_ there was a level of respect for others. Too many are obsessed with their cell phone, social media, and other distractions, we barely take time to handle serious business.
Some of the time, we focus on the wrong things. Other times, we are just wandering through this life. Lost time is never found again. Time is something you cannot make up, and under normal circumstances you cannot catch up on thing that fill time_ once missed. In my many travels, my plane was late for departure. The pilot came on the PA system once we were airborne and " we were forty minutes late for departure, but we have a tail wind in our favor and that will put us on the ground and at the gate, on time.' This does not apply to most situation of lateness.
