A “Monday” Kind of Day

I’ve been on a doctor-ordered diet for two weeks.  It’s going well.  I can’t really fault the fact that I’m eating foods I have never eaten regularly before.  And, I can’t fault the “Monday” feeling on yougart w/blueberries w/slivered almonds and 3 pieces of turkey bacon either.  In fact, I liked breakfast (except that it was cold) and feel very well now 30 minutes later.

I think I don’t like how my schedule looks.  It is a very “peopled” schedule. (It always is at this time of year.)

The sermon yesterday was part of a series on 1 Peter.

5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”^[a]

6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Preacher presented an interesting observation about the humble v. proud discussion.  He suggested that to not cast our anxieties on the Lord is to walk in pride.  …uh that casting our cares upon the Lord IS submission.  Or, at the very least, it is humility.  I need to think about that more.

The panhandle of Oklahoma needs rain.  Central Oklahoma has had lots of rain.  The panhande has had under 5″ for the whole year.

Why do people expect ministers to be “understanding” always and to like “inspirational” emails en masse?

Cabbage Patch Kids are 25 years old!  I remember when everyone said the devil was using the dolls to channel demons! : )

It is NOT a good time to live in Haiti or Cuba.

The staff of my work will be having tamales and salad.  I have to bring my  lunch.

Have a nice Monday!

Random Musings On A Lazy Saturday

I watched “Misery” on Lifetime Movie Channel.  You know the movie with Kathy Bates and James Caan?  It’s still good but STILL creeps me out completely.

Marilu Henner is starring in a new, made-for-tv movie called “The Governor’s Wife.”  They are running the trailers.  Creepy women creep me out.  Oh, and Henner’s facelift is terrible.  The eyes!  It’s the eyes!

Tonight we ate fried okra with soy flower and a little oil to fry (just a wee bit) and only 3 oz of chicken and I am still satisfied 3 hours later.  This (non-specified) really works! :::grin:::

We’ve had rain lately and I love it.

I love playing on facebook but the application called Knighthood makes me nervous and I just get all stressed out when I am in war mode.

I read The Shack like so many others have.  So many reviews have been written.  I still haven’t recommended it to anyone.  Can’t.  The depiction of how God touches the wounded hearts of others seems very accurate to me, however.  I can’t get that part of the storyline out of my head.

Did I ever confess to you that I was a subscriber to O Magazine for several years and loved it?  Several months ago I canceled the paid subscription and asked that they not send me any of the rest of the remaining issues.  I am a conscientious objector.  I really liked the publication (still did when I canceled) but cannot put any of my pennies in her coffers.  She is MONEY behind so much that I don’t…can’t…won’t support.  She is teaching the world what to think. http://guitpicken61.vox.com/library/post/pregnant-man.html Episodes like:  Born In The Wrong Body; Unprecedented Pregnancy; and, Transgender Families have cleared my decision there.

Ah, but I am supposed to be musing.

I think the word “controversial” is terribly overused.

My summer brushed against some controversy.

Sometimes I am so busy responding everywhere, that I forget to respond and write here.
