It's interesting to me (I'd use the word funny here but funny only in the "How did you do that?" kind of way) how God sometimes causes or allows things to happen to get our attention. I had a little moment like that yesterday. While the story is a private one, I can, in round-about terms explain the importance of recognizing what God is saying. During the sermon at church, there was a part where I really felt like the pastor was speaking directly to me. It was explaining how two different circumstances involving the same item (in this case, Joseph's robe) were used by God to shape an outcome that affected everything. God, in His providence worked these circumstances to put Joseph where God wanted Him and twice, his robe (coat of many colors and the robe Potiphar's wife ripped off of him when he fled from her advances) was involved in advancing the story. I have a thing going on in my own life right now where I could glean some things from this part of the...
I never know what's gonna happen next in my life. A for-instance happened today. I went out to the thrift stores to look through their selections of vinyl records. While I didn't find any I liked, I did come across a plate with clock markings and a hole drilled into it. Said plate matches my dish pattern so I bought it for 50 cents. I found a clock kit that was affordable as well on Amazon, so I should have a fully functioning clock in a couple of days. It'll be a nice addition to the kitchen and nice to have a clock to glance at instead of having to walk to the stove or microwave to see the time. Losing track of time is a thing these days. My son bought me a day clock. I needed it. The days fly by and it's really easy to lose track of the day of the week, let alone the date. Such is retirement. The hot tub is such a blessing. It would be nice to have someone to share it with but it's not without its' own struggles. ...
Tomorrow is Independence Day. It's the day we celebrate the birthplace of the idea of the United States of America. Constitution Day comes later this year. On the 4th, we celebrate the document signed that signified that Americans wanted to be a free people, under self-rule and free from the tyranny of their king. In the opening salvo of the document, they clearly point out that the rights they believe all men should have are given by their Creator. According to the law of non-contradiction, the truths they hold to be "self-evident" (great words, are they not?) about how the Creator of the Universe blessed them with being created equal, says that for these words to be actually true, the Creator must be. He cannot not be and have the Declaration of Independence be a truthful document. Our freedoms in America hinge on that document. The people then fought a war over it. We've been fighting wars ever since to keep and protect those freedoms....
