Several friends are absent. May just be the Season?

God bless and keep them each and every one!

Yes, the herd has thinned, hopefully just the busy-ness of the season.
We do build a bond with our friends here, and miss them when they are away.
Miss Ruby being absent is a concern to me as she has been a rcck of stability at SYM.
bless you all, here and away.

I was up and down quite a bit last night, and finally settled into my recliner to sleep. That was about 3.30 AM. Woke up at 7.45AM, and realized I was going to have to hurry to get shaved, showered and dressed to head out to Church. I really did not feel well, but I was determined to go this morning. I did not want to miss another Church Service. Because of my health issue in the past few years, I have missed far too many.

It is about an hours drive from my home to Church, so I did not even make coffee!

I drove all the way to withing a mile of the Church, and seeing I had enough time, I decided to duck into a Store and buy a bottle of water and a couple packs of Juicy Fruit. Standing at the counter to pay, I looked at the Newspapers in the rack there and to my shock...............I REALIZED IT WAS SATURDAY!

sigh............well, at least I got to fill up my gas tank, and I guess you could say I had "practiced driving" the route from home to Church......... :)

Getting old has it's on special moments.............

Who has messed with the labels on the clothes? A small doesn't mean what is used to anymore. These days a small actually fits like a medium or large.

Everything is too big, cant find my size anymore. Even when the label says extra small, its still too big.

Its so frustrating! Wasting time in the stores then leaving with nothing or settling for something I dont really like. Not sure how much longer I can go on with this nonsense.

It seems to me that the days are moving really fast. Some days faster than others. So i dont think its age. I wonder if this has to do with God shortening the days for the sake of the elect?

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

And that is exactly why I don't like shopping for clothes/shoes online.
Because in person is hard enough to find the right fit.

Psalms 74;

1(Maschil of Asaph.) O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Ever read the Psalms and see "Maschil of Asaph" at the beginning and wonder who or what it is/means? Me too...... :)

I've been missing a day every once in a while, too many years of depending on man's time and not on God's perhaps? God moves from purpose to purpose, I think the Greek word is "Kairos" or something like that. Perhaps this is another way He is conforming His Own to Him.

We have a power cut in my area. My phone battery is running low, and i havent finished my ironing yet. Sigh.

Usually when the light comes on after a power cut, the kids in the area will cheer loudly, a standing ovation.
