My cranky old mean cat caught a mostly-grown baby robin this morning, early. She only mostly killed it. It hopped around for a while, and I sincerely hope the little thing went and died somewhere, because not a one of my 3 cats was nice enough to just put it out of its misery.
The saddest part is that Mama Robin has also been hanging around here all day, keeping close to her baby, chirping like mad.
I don't mind if they kill birds if they're going to eat them. Or at least KILL-kill them. But this is just some kind of sick kitty torture.
My cats are jerks.

I'm tired, long day moving stuff around and just plain working manually more than I've done usually, for three days now. God is good, got me through it all, protected, and, who knows what could have happened, besides the door of the uhaul about getting 'clipped,' the metal thread of a shattered electronic just slitting my finger instead of a deep wound, my shoulder in a little pain, it's good to pray our day away. Does that make sense?

Really listen to those words: It is good to pray our day away .
I love 1 Thessalonians 1: 5:16-17 . God supplies all our needs when we pray, He says so. So, is praying important ? Let's all begin our days in prayer, wholehearted prayer and then go about our days in ceaseless understanding that we STILL need God as we go through our days, all the way to the nighttime, when, uh, yeah, we ARE to pray before we go 'away' for the night
==========
I saw a little hobbling mouse, no bigger than the size of a 50-cent piece in circumference. He was a wee little timid bugger, just waddling along, and, I mean waddling, I should have taken pictures, didn't, but, yeah, this rodento was, I thought, crippled, but what was odd is he was hopping in a fully cement storage center. He must have been in someone's unit and then hopped out of a box or something.
Anyway, this story gets sad, as, that time was yesterday I saw him moving right along underneath my truck and off I thought to find his way out, I mean, I could have stepped on him, he was a waddler, a little faster than a bird playing hurt with a wounded wing, just sputtering along, which, yes, I have seen by the way, because Pid (that gorgeous canine in my avatar ) got into a robin's nest of little birdies and I caught her before she killed them and the woodlark mother started to chirp wildly and try to lead Pid away by pretending she had a broken wing. Have you seen Riki Tiki Tavi, about the mongoose, the mama bird lures away the cobra with the same 'act.'
Anyway, this morning, I was back at my storage place clearing it out and, guess what , that little churchmouse was deader than a doornail, not squished, just turned sideways and lifeless. And, he was only a few feet from my truck, not sure what happened but no bird picked him off so I just not sure.
I'm glad week is over, last three days exhausting, but God got me through EVERYTHING perfectly. The Lord leads. I will trust in His ways for me, as best that I humanly can, and, with His Spirit in me showing me the way, that way will be perfect

Wasps suck.
You know what the typical encounter with a bumblebee is?
Bee: "Hey you, are you a flower?"
You: "No, I am a human."
Bee: "K." flies away
Typical encounter with a wasp?
Wasp: "Hey, are you a flower?"
You: "No, I am a human."
Wasp: "I'm gonna mess you up, fool!" follows you for a mile with murderous intent

Sometimes I wish I was simpler. I wish I could just watch tv, be a plumber and raise a family. For me that would just be living someone else's life.
I don't have a culture. "My people" ...are my friends. Distance and time have ensured that I frequently lose them. They get married and their lives are transformed beyond recognition.
I keep no Traditions. Easter and Pascha are my sacred holidays and I couldn't tell you when it will happen next year.
Love is my mythology. It is my Unicorn, my Dragon, my Nemesis, My Faithful Horse, My Treasure, My food, My Princess and my Passion. But it isn't real. Its just a promise that I made to myself that I will always be love, no matter who deserves it or where I go. ...without expectations.
I enjoy Travel. But I do not do it to get lost but rather to be found. The people that I meet when I travel are very much like me, adopted, restless, curious, and longing to see something real. We find ourselves, looking for that feeling of belonging out there somewhere. On rare occasion we meet someone and just know, instantly, that we have more in common than any people we see every day.
Take this from me, and I might as well be a Volvo Setter (again)

So right now I'm trying to find a tutorial on how to make websites that look good. All I'm getting are sites which link to other sites which supposedly are the best looking around. Honestly I find them to be rather gaudy and flashy.
It seems as though the latest trend in website design is to put all of your main content on one page, divided into sections which are treated as individual pages themselves. At the top of the page are links to these sections, which generally have their own backgrounds.
If the site belongs to a small company, and if there is a page showing the workers, there often seems to be a silly/stupid "team member," like a dog or plant.

Oh and that was my first time ever even touching a 12-string guitar...had so much fun playing it I used it for worship. (A friend brought it in and said it was a twelve string, and with his permission I got it out and tuned it then messed around on it and LOVED it. He said I could use it for worship. So great!!)
Man I totally lost my appetite today. No idea why either. I just woke up not hungry...then I did get hungry, ate a few bites of cereal, wasn't hungry anymore. This hasn't happened in forever. This used to happen on a regular basis. I would barely for a week, once it lasted two weeks, and then I'd have a typical appetite again.

That;s great, summer camp, some real fun times there growing up, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th grades.
it would be cool to go as a counselor now or even bus driver, maybe, ride with the kids. I did that once. I was working with our kids in super club Saturday program where we bus in the inner city, Tacoma kids and I did this 3-4 weeks in a row and was getting to know the kids and could see one kid that all the kids were drawn to. He was at the top of the ages 5 to 12 that super club kids were and was a leader type. A lot of kids glommed onto him and I remember in my last bus ride I was trying to keep the peace in the bus as this kid was always rebel rousing and doing things disobediently, talking bad words, etc. and was surely not helping kids come to Christ, or, stay with Christ, from the 2 hour super club time. I was riding on the bus this last time and he was making fun of people, like me, the bus assistant with the kids, keeping things calm...
After all the other kids that worshiped him had gotten off, this bad-behavior kid was left. I got a chance to talk with him and told him Jesus had given him great gifts to use, if I remember right, that he could either go in one direction or another using his gifts, for the rest of his life going forth. It was his choice but he had the ability to be either a leader or, a leader. Both led, one led to destruction, and, one led to life. Did he want to be a leader who destroyed things or made things alive?
I was praying he would listen. And he did ! I remember him walking off thinking to himself, and, pretty sure I heard a 'thank you' too. I just had to pray for that kid after that because my life went a different direction, from super club volunterring. I can almost think of his name. So much potential in that kid !!! To give God glory
Kids ! They are such work's of art. Even the seeming worst of them, are just fine, if one goes about, in faith, to speak to them and let them know Jesus loves them Raymond ! Just came to me, the kid's name was Raymond I pray for Raymond, right now, Lord, that He became a great follower for you. I pray one day I meet up with Raymond and see how you used him, how he produced fruit, did things for your glory. Bless Raymond, Lord, Thy will be done, amen /

Kansas, sometimes, it feels like The Grapes Of Wrath, doesn't it, with just the wheat fields, not The Depression, at least, I think that's where that Steinbeck novel takes place, I've not read it.
shawnteecee is a lot like I was, just saying, not responding to. I was into web design and took classes on it and God led me to business marketing and other things, the grasp I see here is good, it's understanding of web design, not sure about the web development part but, in life, we should get stuck on not just what we like but what we are good at, in fact, I think, that waaaay too many folks go for what THEY LIKE and they are just not good at it and it causes them years and years of lost time because they keep trying to be good at something that God has not gifted them with being good at. just go with His flow for you.
HOw will I know, green?
You will know. Go . Keep His all-mighty power of He living in you at thought and go, faith-fully walk, for He is faithful, He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Just start a-walking and a-talking with Him and you will be a-gawking at all that He shows you and what you may have thought you wouldn't like doing you will even like, the Lord leads. Have faith in Him, who made you, ALL of you, we just need to kNOW that He forgave us and walks with us, again, in a different way than with Adam and Eve , "in the cool of the day," but He is there, calmly and collectively keeping us going toward His plans If we, through faith, accept His grace, mercy, Love, and, don't worry about everyone else so much, and, just 'follow Me.' John 21:22
