Coffee’s good

Really looking forward to the movie “Sound of Freedom” on the 3rd. Not a clue how many will see it, but I am hoping many. Sex trafficking children has been swept under the rug. Our children are sexualized on a daily basis by children’s clothing and groomers. Parents encourage by allowing children to wear provocative clothing. We have a crisis in this country that no one wants to acknowledge. This movie will be painful and sickening to watch, but it is so needed for us to watch to feel sickened so that our eyes are opened to what the real agenda is.

The world is losing faith in God. We have been systematically brain washed into looking the other way, into keeping ourselves too busy, into letting ourselves believe we are giving our children more than we had when in fact we have given them way less of our time, our attention, our thoughts, our faith…we have allowed them to becomes the generation that is complained about in the work force.

We have allowed television, movie stars, athletes, and schools to raise our children. We abdicated our parental authority to whomever talked a good line. We have failed to pass on the faith because that faith didn’t allow something that we wanted to do or made us feel guilty and uncomfortable or hurt our feelings.

All humans were created to long for God. We all have that “something is missing” feeling. That “hole” we keep dumping stuff into. That “missing piece” is only filled by God. Yet we continue to resist because God’s demand for total surrender is too hard, too painful, not fun, and doesn’t make me the most important.

I am as guilty as you are in this area. Pray for me in this regard.

Know you are prayed for.

Best laid plans…

Poof gone!

A little shimmer turned out to be a loose ball joint and chewed up to the steel wires issue.

The 5th is fix date

Until then, Expedition but can’t use that till tomorrow as the man has it.

Guess I will just have to get comfortable at the sewing machine. I’m working on a project for the Cmom gathering in Oct.

LAX trip early afternoon.

Smoke haze from πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ is bad again today. Hanging in the valleys like fog.

Praying for rain. Grass is starting to turn brown. Berries are small. Some have started cutting 2nd crop of hay. Windrows don’t seem as full. Tree leaves have started to turn over.

How’s the faith life? Succulent or parched?

The man golfs this morning with the boy

The girl and her husband headed back to OK.

Late night last night for me and an early morning.

Birdsong begins. The porch peaceful. The house silent. This time of morning always gives me pause to rejoice. A new day has been placed before me. I can choose what to do with it.

Jesus let me live for you

Summon out what I should be

Set your seal upon my heart

Holy Spirit dwell in me

Bird song has begun

Something about mornings, perhaps it’s something about new beginnings that appeals to me.

Windchimes tinkel in the breeze. Limbs sway, leaves flutter, grass rustles, and pond water laps the shoreline in harmony with the wind.

No traffic sounds, or artificial light, marring the morning. Sunbeams glow just below the horizon, giving promise of the day to come.

Wildlife wanders out of hiding to begin their daily search for sustenance. Perhaps sustenance is what I, too, search for at this hour of day.

Rain came last evening, gray skies lend one to think more may come. Thanksgiving for the much needed moisture is given. Thankfulness for the cooling breeze is offered. All to the creator of this beautiful world.

Know you are prayed for.

The man and I enjoy the silence on the porch.

Hibiscus tree ready to bloom. Need to go out and pick off the yellow leave and feed it.

Rain came last night, I am grateful we needed it. Perhaps we will be blest with more later. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the cooler breeze.

🌧 coming pray it gives us the moisture we need.

Are you keeping tabs on the world? Hunter plead guilty- slapp on the wrist, no time. SMH at the double standards I am seeing. Big push on sex trafficking-still waiting for Epstien list to be charged. Trump/Clinton equal issues and oh so widely different in the handling. Repubs and Dems running neck and neck in bad decisions. It’s time to clean the entire swamp.

‘Nuff said

Have an awesome day
