Happy Monday!! "What's so happy about it?" you might be asking. I don't have a list of reasons. I am not wealthy, I am not particularly healthy, and I have already encountered some problems and annoyances here this morning. I only have one reason GOD LOVES ME WITH AN UNENDING, UNCONDITIONAL, TREMENDOUS, AWESOME LOVE!! That's all. |
Next Monday I will not be updating this. Let's see, around this time next Monday I will be either sitting in the shade next to the Colorado River with a cup of coffee, sitting in my air-conditioned
"castle" (our 1978 Titan motor home) reading my Bible, talking to the Lord and looking out the window at the Colorado River, or maybe I will be floating down the river on an inner tube with only one worry--make sure I keep my feet and rear end from snagging on a submerged branch.

Are you asking the Lord to use you? Have you been seeking your portion in the Body of Christ? Do you feel the urgency that I feel in getting busy doing God's business? I believe it is because the time is short and there is much to do! |

Yes, my vacation was wonderful! It was very relaxing! Actually, it was more relaxing than I intended it to be. On Wednesday I did a silly thing. Someone had taken a wake board to the river with them. I tried using it. |
The worst part about a vacation is coming home. By the time I get everything cleaned and put away I'll need another vacation!! |
On the way home we had some trouble with the fuel line. We stalled and were blocking four lanes on a cross street. My first impulse used to be panic. This time I told the Lord that we were totally in His hands and asked Him to take care of getting us out of the road. It worked. He got us out of there before we had any cars wanting to use the road we were blocking! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! |

I need another vacation! I have had so many things needing to be done this week that I'm still not done putting things away from my vacation! My back still hurts and I can't stop to let it rest. Well, the good news is that I'm NOT BORED!! Ha ha ha ha ha |
God taught me a lesson about putting faith in people. I had some Christian friends that I've known for eleven years. We've fellowshipped together, broken bread together, prayed together, and worshipped together. I have found out that they have chosen to believe things about me that are not true. An incident has been blown out of proportion and twisted and a few people are spreading tales. |
Forgive me, Lord, for being such a slow learner! Help me to keep my eyes on You. Help me to think, speak, and act in Your will. Help me to make my opinions Your opinions. Help me to love people the way You love them. I want to be a pure and useable vessel. I want people to see You in me. |

Whoo boy!
Something's gotta give! I feel like I've been on a treadmill. I've been flying 100 miles per hour and don't feel like I've accomplished anything! |
My son found a kitten in a park the beginning of May. He likes to snuggle every now and then. He particularly likes it when he is just a little drowsy and when I am sitting at the computer. He climbs up to my shoulder and purrs and purrs. He keeps rubbing his head against my face and wanting me to rub his head and kiss his sweet face. As I am typing this he is draped over my shoulder. |
I sure would enjoy hearing from you! Lately I haven't had time to take a deep breath, much less answer all of my email, but it blesses my heart to know that you were here. Please send me email. Thank you! |
