It’s 29 degrees and clear here – feels like 22 so says the weather app.
A storm took out our internet last week and today it was restored; giving thanks here! For warmth and this lovely page and a multitude of other grand and happy things! I hope you are too. 

Abba, on this cold evening with a new week dawning in just a few hours, we ask for places of warmth for souls feeling chilly winds. For First Responders, for Utility Personnel out there serving, we pray for practical helps, warm clothes, and hot coffee.
Thank You for our kind and efficient Tech who came and speedily restored service today; thank You so much that we got to pray with him; thank You for his dear family and as often as You will bring them to mind that we may pray again.  Thank You that tomorrow is Sunday and we have a house of worship close by where we can gather; I pray houses of worship will be warm tomorrow with prayer and good hot air :) Thank You for loving us so deeply and strong; I pray we love You back and each other too.

Media and Us

The President Elect Donald Trump met with President Obama today. Just days ago the President was vigorously campaigning that Mr. Trump was not fit to be president and today they talked alone for 90 minutes and then sat together for a short media interview.
It was their first meeting.
First time ever to actually occupy the same proximity.
Do we get the magnitude of this?

We size people up these days by what media pundits tells us about that person with sound bites, video clips and commentators. When was the last time we asked ourselves why is this media person telling me this? What does this entity have to gain here? It’s certainly not to lose ratings – right?

I shall not here repeat all the vileness that was pumped into our homes by the media regarding Donald Trump in recent months. In a court of law only testimony given by certified documentation or reputable first hand sight knowledge is acceptable.  Hearsay is disqualified, deemed unworthy of consideration. Yet many people seized upon these media reports and stuffed their souls with hate for this man who they had never met. Moreover the testimony of reputable men and woman, some who have known him for 30 years, others who in recent times had personally prayed with him was rejected and disregarded. During this political campaign Donald Trump was sentenced and executed on hearsay even in Christian circles. Will we ever learn that the media of today is not our friend?

What if a thorough investigative report was done; scanning, reading, collecting and pooling data from mainstream media sources for the last decade, subject say: racial unrest? What do you think would be found? I’ll save my opinion, but this I will say: I still believe there are millions and millions of good people in America who have no ill will for one another based on the color of skin.

What if instead of filling our eyes and ears with media stories, we opened our minds and hearts to people we actually know or could get to know?  What if we ceased to let media profiteers tell us what we believe about one another, about politics, about Hollywood, about . . . , and ask GOD, who by the way does KNOW, to lead us to the truth about all of it!?  What if  we . . .

A Puppy Dog

I am smitten with the beauty of it. img_8633The bluest blue, dotted with white and sprinkled with green. So much so that I came in to pen this post for you.

It is not quite two o’clock in Lower Alabama and the skies
are a feast for the eyes.
I noticed as I was strolling the yard there was nary a breeze. Since coming in though I see Old Glory giving me a wave or two. img_8638A gorgeous September day! And we could and probably should stop right there but we generally don’t; we go on to say But it’s hot! And so it is. img_8637

Yep! striking somewhere between 90 and 100 degrees. I’ve often done this: see the exceedingly good things surrounding me and then let a but it’s hot turn my sunshine to rain, BUT today I think I’ll just enjoy this puppy dog flying high. img_8624
