Call Me Rose


This is a blog I wrote on Wednesday morning. Still works for today. 
Rose Kennedy went to church every morning, after she locked a few kids in the closet for time out. Today I am Rose.
Wednesday on Holy week, I need church every day.
Rose from The Titanic could have rescued Jack. What about the missionary position? I would have saved you young Jack. Today Iam Rose.
Gypsy Rose Lee, the name says it all. Momma Mary told me, " Only Gypsies and Street Walkers (not zombies, Bay Street Hookers!!) had their ears pierced. Today I am a Gypsy Rose!! 
Rosa Parks, Yes I will sit anywhere on this bus period!! Rosa you are with me today also.
Rosemary Clooney, Rose M, you are coming to church also, we both know that I can sing like the bird that I am. "Come on to My House!" (Thank you, mom and dad, for turning me onto Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page)
Early in the morning, these thoughts are rolling out of my head, I sprint from the bathroom to find paper and pen.
I return to the bathroom for slapping on my makeup. I holler to Bill, the husband, "I need to go to church!" There is a 9am service, wait its 6 am, I can make the 7:30 rapture of Holy Week. Lipstick on!!!
Today my name is Bonnie Rose Baron, just call me Rose for the day. All these ladies will have a candle lit today, A candle for all women. My relatives, friends, living or gone, will be lifted up today by me.
Last minute add on, Purwin's Ro, I got you girl!!
I will be on my knees, in thanksgiving for all my blessings, prayer, grace, sacred, holy, anointed words and offerings. I will also carry my electric lighter, its faster!!!!! 
Its Holy Week, Passover, take time to listen. 
(did I get to church??) ( Yes on my back deck, planting flowers) ( but I did lift you all up to the holy sky) 
Today is Thursday, church, no, will go Saturday, I like the quiet on Saturday evening.
Make church where you are standing, and in your actions. 
Life lesson for the day
