I went to House of Joe’s after prayer this morning to check email and work on Anywhere edits. Planning to meet CJ for lunch, I didn’t want to go all the way back home. As usual, someone is sitting on the couch next to the outlet, so I sat at the counter. I order an Irish Breakfast tea from A.J., …
Put your left hand out, no your right hand, no left
I’m not used to the time change yet. Twice during my nightly walk, (ok, not every night, but some nights), it’s been dark by the time I turned toward home. Tonight, a car goes by when I’m on Weldon, almost home. The car stops. YIKES. Backs up, DOUBLE YIKES, and a guy sticks his head out the passenger window. But …
This Weekend All Hallow’s Eve
October 31 – Martin Luther posted his 95 Thesis on the Wittenberg door 487 years ago today, October 31. He preached salvation by grace and the error of the tradition of indulgences. I wonder where are the Martin Luthers of our day? The men and women with a zeal for the truth of the Word, fearless of tradition, yet honoring …
Monday and so on
Tony and I hauled the dogs to the vet this morning. What an ordeal. It’s like, I don’t know, nothing you’ve ever experienced. Though I must admit, after two hurricane trips, they do ride in the truck better than in the past. Pal only yipped and barked half way there. But he was so bad while the vet examined him, …
Seeing with the eyes of my heart
I’ve probably sung “Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord” a hundred times. Friday night during worship at Freedom Christian Center, I saw the Lord with my heart’s eyes. Worshipping on the front row next to Tony and Ted, all of a sudden the Lord “appeared” and He walked right up to me. I started to weep. He stood in …
Beauty & Favor
Driving to church with Cassie this morning, we talked about beauty and favor. What does it mean to know the beauty of the Lord? Mike Bickle defines God’s beauty as His emotions. He has emotions, you know, and they are toward us. But in His Holiness, He cannot be controlled by them like we are. I can’t wait to live …
Oh What a Night, Late September back in ’63
So the night was October ’04, but oh, what a night! After the birthday dinner for Elizabeth, a couple of us came back to the house to watch a Doris Day, Rock Hudson movie – “Send Me No Flowers.” We had a good time, but it was late when everyone left. Then, we had an episode. Jack and Pal. Our …
Saturday at the House
Ah, a good day. My kind of day. It’s lovely outside, and I’m watching college football. Though no Ohio State game. I got Ga Tech verse Maryland instead. Got up and washed the car so Julia, Larkin and Spring could use it next week in Orlando. We met Julia in the summer at the In The Fire Conferene. She was …
Friday Fables
Friday fables? Do you think there are really Friday fables? There are not. Ha! Our internet returned yesterday. I went into the office to look for something and noticed the lights on the modem box! The cable ligth was flickering. Oh, we were so excited. So life after Jeanne has returned, more or less, to normal. This has been a …
Internet, oh internet, where have you gone??
How often we don’t realize we rely on something until we don’t have it? Getting our power back Tuesday felt like Christmas. We jumped for joy. But, alas, we have no internet. The network in our area sustained enough damage that we can’t get online. We have cable, but no internet. I miss it! It’s my lifeline to the outside …
