Remember me?

-
I was looking at the blog and noticed that I hadn't posted anything since Sunday.  That doesn't mean I haven't tried, but it's just been one of those weeks where I was preoccupied with other things.

I talked last week about being a white hot coal for the Lord.  Um, like that kind of fire, by just blowing on it gently you can rekindle the flames.  I've had more opportunities to share some of the Good News this week than anytime I can remember in the last couple of years.  It's been an interesting week.

I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while today.  I'm so glad I did.  Speaking to him really brightened my day.

Today has been a very blessed day.  I spent some time with a friend from church this morning.  I bought lightbulbs and trash bags at the homey depot, bread and some other stuff at the Winco (where I saw a couple dancing in the aisle, but that's another story for another day),  Then the commissary, where I found a lot of good deals on stuff.  I had coupons to use so I stopped at the Smith's on the way home.  I'm kinda getting the hang of this shopping thing.

Coupon Coop.

Whoda ever thunk that?

But I saved enough to buy a small package of steaks for the grill tonight.

Yum.  We're eating up the last banana squash left from last year's garden with it.  God richly blessed that plot of ground and I hope He will see fit to do it again.  Plenty to share and plenty left over for us.  Maybe I'll put that on a sign and hang it on the fence.

Oh, what else?  Nothing I can talk about.  But plenty going on.

I do want to end with this though:  God is doing some wonderful things in my life, and I've enjoyed so much sharing what I could with who I could this week.  He really does change lives and my life is so full of JOY because I belong to Jesus.

Hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
