That would be a profound question that only you are qualified to answer.
the whole world would end....lol

or it would be like on of those groundhog day movies where you woke up and did the same thing day after day and nothing ever changed.

Loreena McKennitt "Snow"

White are the far-off plains,
And white the fading forests grow;
The wind dies out along the height,
And denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree,
Falls down scarce audibly.

Meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound;
Like some soft minister of dreams
The snow-fall hoods me round;
In wood and water, earth and air,
Silence is everywhere.

Save when at lonely spells
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
With rustling runners and sharp bells,
Swings by me and is gone.


Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear;

The barking of a dog, or call
To cattle, sharply pealed,
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield.
Then all is silent and the snow
Falls settling soft and slow.


The evening deepens and the grey
Folds closer earth to sky
The world seems shrouded, far away.
Its noises sleep, and I secret as
Yon buried streams plod dumbly on and dream.


Its noises sleep, and I
As secret as yon buried stream
Plod dumbly on and dream
And dream
And dream
I dream
And I dream

huh well the very thought of a messy library catalogue did me in and I spent a whole day putting it all in order. (I had not left it in such a mess, it was the previous librarian(s) , fixing all the stuff she had left)

This is what you get for being a total bookworm.
Now I can rest knowing that all the records are in the right place and clean even if the actual books in the library are in total chaos.

maybe this is what happens 'Behind the scenes' in heaven. Gods putting everything in order so that a place is prepared for us when we meet Him.

The frost will soon be on the pumpkin here in NE Tennessee and then the snow must come.

Being retired I'm a bit of a bookworm too. As I told the librarian yesterday morning when I was checking out, "I got too much time on my hands".

Is it any wonder I'm not the President? .

Time to go back to work. I feel like I'm "null and void".

It's ticking away with my sanity

"The sound of your footsteps, telling me that you're near. Your soft, gentle motion babe, brings out a need in me that no one can hear.."
From "Midnight Confessions" by Grass Roots


A forum for the one secret confession that you do not want revealed
but are brave enough to admit for all to see.


My name is tourist and I have a serious nicotine addiction. I once told God that I wanted quit smoking. He did not answer my prayer as He knew that I was lying to him. Perhaps when I am serious he will deliver me from this self-imposed affliction, and other things as well that do not belong in my life.
Nicotine is an evil spirit. Deal with that and the desire will go.

So, the TV show I'm NOT watching is about actual actors playing the part of reality show dancers and is so bad that I'm instead watching youtube of a guy clearing land with an excavator and now I know what it's like to be woke because I just woke from this and am trying to understand my existence especially since Colin Powell just died from Covid because it's not because his vaccine didn't work.

Help me God.

Colin Powell had other issues beside Covid, he just happened to die while having the virus. That YouTube video of the land clearing sounds OK though so it's not all bad.

Hi Magenta...you know I love snow. There is such a peacefulness about it and the clean and white makes things look pure. The sparkle when the sun hits it looks like diamonds spread everywhere. Thank you for thinking of me and putting this video on I loved it.

I hate it. I want my sinful nature GONE. Totally wiped. I want unabashed sinlessness.
One of the reasons I look forward to Jesus return is the fact that satan and his demons will no longer be whispering in our ears to sin they won't be there to tempt us. Just the silence and the fact that God is living with us and we are changed, transformed into perfect beings as we were intended to be in the beginning. I long for that day of sinlessness also. Total freedom in God.

We have had a lovely summer didn't feel overheated at all. Such a relief from the Florida heat and humidity. I think it only got up to 91 once in August. It was 96 daily in Florida that you just felt like you could melt on the sidewalk.

We grew a lot of tomatoes, green beans, green peppers, radishes, okra, carrots. Lots of flowers too. I have loved sitting on the front porch watching the flowers and some cherry tomatoes growing in the boxes we have in front of the porch.

I love it here and wish I had moved here sooner.

Hope you are doing well and health is improving.

why do people live in Florida again??

lol

Its like over here when people say they are moving to live in Australia and we are like WHY. Then after a few years they return because they cannot handle the heat. Generally over 40 degrees celsius in the summer.

Lived in Florida 25+ years. Why? My family started to move from Central Michigan to Central Florida a few at a time starting in the 80's. I was one of the last to leave. At that time the economy was horrible in Michigan but much better in Florida. Definitely hot and humid though. Opresive.
