RIAY Day 106 He Sends His Spirit

Remembering my mom Barb Ogden may she rest in peace.

I slept well through the night. This morning, yard work and the thought of finishing up more windows in the house came to mind. Perhaps it will warm up this afternoon and a few things can be accomplished out there.

RIAY Day 104: Where is your sting

Good Morning!
It was a wonderful day yesterday.
So good to see Kyle, Amy, and Josh
Thank you to everyone who called, texted, and sent cards
The movie was good, “King of Kings.”
The flowers and cake were special
Knee still good
Wrist still swollen
The walking pad is working fine
Lessening of driving in the works
70 doesn’t look too bad

Know you are prayed for.

RIAY Day 102-Carried with Love

Just how did it get to be the day before Passion Sunday? The time moved so swiftly being filled with so many things that distracted me from what my true purpose in Lent is.

DD#4 and spouse will be here this afternoon to pick up the golfcart and wisk it away to IA. I cannot tell you how nice it will be to have some extra space in the garage and to know the gc will be used instead of just sitting around. Who knows the garage may just get used for what it was intended for… oh heavens! What a novel idea!

1 copy project finished and one in the wings to be completed today. Both for Monday pick ups. I must say I’m happy for this office area that was made for me by the man and DS#2. Nice to have it all in one place and not strewn about.

Know you are prayed for.

RIAY Day 101 Glory & Indignity

Take note of the news today. Venture to several sites you don’t normally go to. Read and listen with discernment. Ponder the difference between them, use critical thinking without your normal bias’.

This morning, I dash to Black River Falls. The plan is to be home by 1. Pick up the teacher and deliver her home by 430. Looking forward to a quiet evening.

When is the last time you got a letter in the mail? When is the last time you wrote a letter and sent it in the mail? Think about reviving this wonderful habit. Texts, messages, tweets, Instagrams, etc., are nowhere close to receiving correspondence and holding it in your hands to read over and over. Also, get a nice supply of Forever stamps. The rates will go up in July.

Holy Week is next week.

Know you are prayed for.

RIAY Day 100 – Always Her Son

Lots of emails to print off this morning. Most of them are asking to be printed in color. Waste of ink, as they are photos of a gray piece of machinery. It would have printed much clearer in black. Oh well. Copy jobs as well. Label making and reprints of labels already made. Have a pickup for parts, another for people, and the regular workshop round trip. The man is off to VMH to bring someone home who had emergency surgery yesterday. It looks as if most of the day will be spent here in the office. Which holds many tasks that need completeing.

The knees continue to feel okay.

The wages of sin is death.

RIAY Day 99 Stay in Dialog

Good Morning!
Lovely day yesterday in IL.
I’m on to the next book of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series. I’ve commented before that some of it is soft porn, it is very explicit at different times. I wonder why books are not labeled as such. Oh, right, romance —it’s romance. Today I pick up/drop off/return, workshop, copy work, and a doctor visit.

RIAY Day 98-An Abyss of Love

There are many things happening in the world today. One’s mind seems to be in a constant state of confusion. satan likes this. Remain firm in your faith, let God handle the confusion. Pray, believe, and go with what you know to be in line with God.

Illinois will see me today. Taking a friend to a health appointment down there. The knee is still good. The oil is being used 2x daily. A few aches in the right hip that the chiropractor will solve at the next appointment. Walking much better.

Have an awesome day.
