Morning Offering given

Village sleeps

Praising God for new baby (Marlin) that came in the middle of the night.  This is #4 for her.  Brought them down  to the clinic at 1230 last evening. Will be taking them home shortly.

Lovely wedding yesterday.  Our great niece began her ever after story.

The porch is cool this morning. Very nice sitting out here watching the sunrise.

Coffee’s good

The man sleeps

Let’s talk tatoos… I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remember.  I will never get one.  Why not you ask… my dad said no, they last forever, look ugly when you are old, and are forbidden by God (Leviticus 19:28) only pagans, sluts, and drunken soldiers (as he waves his arm) do that. You are none of those.

He was right. They fade and mottle together, looking like a smudge on your skin. Time changes perspective.  My children have them and believe they may have had something to drink beforehand, and at least two were soldiers. Although only one had admitted to have been sloshed.  They also are a fad now… Hollywood has made them “gotta have”

I will stick with “sacrifice”.  I will only dream of having one.

At the base of my left thumb.  You can visualize it. The stars would be silver.

I need sleep, the night was short.

Know yòu are prayed for.
