Shawl needed on the porch this morning. Very enjoyable to feel the coolness of the breeze.

Ultrasound of left knee and left wrist tomorrow morning.

Beginning to think I need a new body, this one isn’t holding up these days. In all truthfulness, it is my own fault. I haven’t taken very good care of it. 1 Corinthians 6 talks to us about our body being the temple of the Holy Spirit. So many things connect us to God. SOUL-SPIRIT-BODY 1 Thessalonians 5:23 speaks to this. There are several other verses as well. They can all be searched for. Do this for yourself.

If you are not practicing your faith, get back to it. Lack of practice leads to acedia, which leads to the unforgivable sin. Matt 12:31-32, Mark 3:21-30, Luke 12:10.

Acedia is a form of sloth – apathy caused by neglecting one’s faith and moral life. The neglect is intentional because one gets too absorbed in work, activities, and distractions, which devour your time. These take precedence over the need to nurture one’s friendship with God—in sum, “it just doesn’t matter”.

It came!!

Awhile back I talked to you about Our Lady of Good Remedy and asking her to go to Jesus regarding human trafficking.

I ordered her medal from the Trinitarians. It came today. I’m still waiting for her statue. It is on back order.  I added the medal to my chain of Our Lady of Victory and Sacred Heart of Jesus.  I have worn them for over 25 yrs.  Will be starting the daily pray on on Sunday for victims of human trafficking… join me.

The man sleeps

Dream filled sleep last night… probably due to watching “The Cokeville Miracle” on Tubi.  Another good movie without sexual innuendo or bad language.  One of the characters struck home with me.

Purchased mums yesterday. The man got them in the ground for me last night. God is watering them for me this morning.  Great price, $8; I’ll need 2 more to finish the bed out front.

Japanese beetles have arrived.

Off to LaX this morning for xrays/ultrasound of knees.  The man will go with me.  Txs to neighbor “B” I have found night relief by placing pillow under knees when sleeping. 

Need to pick squash, tomatoes, and cucumbers this morning before we leave.

So, here we are, almost mid-August, almost 8.5 months into the year… how’s your friendship with Jesus going? Still too busy to fit him in? Perhaps what the real problem is… you’d have to change how you do things. You’d have to give up your total control, trust that someone else was better at directing your life, and if that wasn’t hard enough to do, you’d have people noticing that you changed and you’d probably have to explain… GASP… it’s the real problem, isn’t it. You are afraid someone will notice and question. Don’t worry… Luke 12:12… God has your back.

Nice trip to SP yesterday.  This morning, I head to LaX

No mail 2 days in a row… odd.

Mums are being sold.  I have plans to put a few along the fence row.

Sad face over no movie night.
