And The Search Goes On . . .
The title up there should be read to the tune of “and the
beat goes on.” Last night the old woman could hardly breathe and kept trying to
go through all the drawers and med cabinets to find my “good” allergy meds. Did
not find them. Finally took a Benadryl. Argh! Yes, sleep is good, but it is
better when it is not induced by a drug like that. FINALLY found my allergy
meds this morning in the living room in my good desk. Of course. That desk had
been in my office originally, but had both of them in there and then changed
that one to the living room. TWO bottles of allergy pills in there to keep me
from scratching and snorting!
The plane that is supposed to take Jenn and Gary to London
was still on the ground at DFW the last time she sent a message. Seems that
they are getting rain and plenty of lightning. It’s Texas. What else should we
expect? The “Find Me” app on my phone says that she is still on the ground, but
that may not be accurate. Anyway, just hope that the flights that they are
meeting up with later will take them to Aberdeen tonight. They have
reservations there. Feel so very happy and excited for them. Jennifer and her
silly ol’ mother totally enjoyed themselves in England and Scotland and later
Paris. The trip was definitely worth it.
Most of you will notice that there is a post here on Common
Sense from Danny Pollard’s wife Rachelle. When asked how she is doing, “tired,
need sleep” was the answer. So, let’s pray not only that the doctors can help
Danny recover and live out a full life, but that Rachelle can keep teaching her
students and loving her family—with rest as needed.
Seems the group of men that have a Bible study on Thursday
at the church where Sterling goes have men who carry all the time. Yes, they
trust in the Lord for protection, but they are also prepared to protect others
as well. Praise God for men such as these!
Ever felt as if you were subject to a waste of time because
of your own silliness. Once or three times—do your own counting—this old woman
has thought that maybe a diet might work for her and the extra pounds she has
accumulated over the years. You know that they have the ideal weights for folks
according to height, build, and activity level. Well, shucks. They can fast, do
Keto, do crunches, walk miles, avoid carbs, avoid sugar, and just quit eating
anything that resembles decent food and all it does for me is tick me off and
put my temper up there with that mean sucker that bit someone’s ear off! So,
have decided to eat what appeals to me when and if the mood strikes. As long as
the old body will remain in moving order, what the heck difference does it
make? Yes, am well aware that too much sugar or carbs will add to the risk of
diabetes. So will sitting there twiddling your thumbs all day no matter what
you eat. A person should get up off their backside and DO something! Make the
bed when ya get out of it; dust mop the floors, shoo the dogs off the
furniture, mess with the hens, check to see if the grass is three times as high
as the hyacinths, and maybe walk down to visit the neighbor and see if HER dogs
need exercise! And one of the best exercises involves looking up—or bowing your
head—up to you—and thanking God for all the blessings—including the extra layer
of fat on your belly or backside! If you have a bit of fat on you, that
undoubtedly means you have had plenty to eat. God gave you that blessing, too.
Let’s continue to pray for the little ones that need extra
blessings right now: Madison Hodges (needs a new kidney), Zeke Ambrosius, Raye
Louise (granddaughter of Diann Dennis), Jacob (the Lion Hearted), Danny
Pollard, my silly brother who managed to get shingles and have hernia surgery
at the same time, and the rest of the old farts and fartlets who just take life
one trial at a time!
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
