Well, the temperature went down to 15 C last night – and it’s only 22 C so far (at 11 am). An actual gray day – so far! Think I can actually go walkabout in the middle of the day!
I spent till 11 pm last night uploading pictures to Flickr – one set froze part way through and I had to redo that bunch, and then I labeled them all. So I ended up waking up this morning at 7:05 am. That is really SLEEPING IN for me!
Today I posted more pictures, checked out the Staples site again, and printed out the details of 4 places I’m interested in (Penticton houses… from MLS.ca). Lord???
Why is it that every time I sit down I get sleepy? Especially if I am going to read from Your Word? Please give me energy, dear Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit! And enthusiasm too! (though that isn’t such a problem… I do LOVE Your Word!!!) Thank You! Amen!
James 5:14 “Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore (save) the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much…” (s/a Deut 7:15)
Hmmm…. I wonder how much illness actually is a result of personal sin? In context, prayers and anointing for healing seem to be pretty much (there is that “IF he has committed sins” phrase, though) intertwined with the need for forgiveness of and turning from sin. (Not something we generally are taught or notice…)
