Up about 6:40, fb, email, etc. Make pancakes and strawberries for breakfast, sort more emails and save important one, go out for my morning walkabout, come home, water garden and weed, water lawn, clean out the shed and reorganize it. Now Bible reading, finally! (I am 7 days behind… but not on a plan that insists I stay up-to-date, thank goodness!)
Jer 10:21 For the shepherds have become stupid and have not sought the LORD; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered… 23… a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. 24. Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Sitting in the shade on the porch… so beautiful out, 21 C in the shade, very light breeze… but warmer in the sun, supposed to be about 33 C today, I think. So enjoying the perfect weather while I can.
I have been wanting to write down the many thoughts I have been thinking the last while, but when I sit down like this, it is so pleasant that I want to fall asleep! I think I will go in and type my blog up-to-date, with an extra new document open on the computer so that when thoughts come to me – or even better, when You speak to me! – I can write it down immediately! Thank You!
I love You, Lord! Amen! J
(Later!) Well, so I typed my blog off and on all day! (LOL! And now, as I’m typing it again, it is October 24… much water under the bridge – but I am happy to go back and get caught up and see the amazing things You have been doing, Papa!!!!)
Pastor P dropped by and chatted a bit. My son convinced m to sit down and watch “Wall-E” on video this afternoon. It may look like a kids’ show, but its’ really an adult show on many levels… lots to think about. I especially liked the part way at the end, the song and little cartoony bits when the credits were rolling….
I also made a batch of baking powder biscuits; they were so popular with hubby and son that I had to make a second batch. I really messed with the recipe: subbed vegetable oil for the butter, added extra milk to make them “drop” style, and mixed in fresh garden herbs: dill, chives, and parsley. And sprinkled them with corn-meal. Totally awesome!
I went out for my evening walkabout and waded the length of the beach on the way back. I ran into G and had a pleasant talk with him. He asked prayer that he can find accommodation…. Father? Please? I told him I’ve been over to the Island, and he said he loves the salt water, that it’s good for his health. He’s craving oysters!
Goodnight! Thank You, Lord! Amen!
