Good morning. It is a beautiful morning.
Well, I am back - my last post was exactly 7 months ago. The great reason for my absence has to to with the health and welfare of family. A lesser reason is my own laziness - it is always easier to do nothing than to do something. I long as I have good intentions I could put off anything!
A lot has happened in the last seven months - including a broken arm in October. Then in December my son and his family came for an almost four month visit. And in March I spent eight days in Guatemala with our missions team.
Oh, and yes, THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!
Not to mention we have a new MAN in the White House.
Today is Men' Bible Study at 6:00 am and then work at the Family Store. We have just reopened the store after putting down a new floor. We are really only about half done and it will be at least the rest of the month before we get everything back in place. It was really ill-planned and the actual work is sub-par - in my opinion. But it is what it is and we will live with it and make it work. I think we expected too much and the company we hired underestimated the size of the job.
Yesterday was a good day. Doris and I are painting the interior of the house - even though I have not finished the exterior yet, but I will! It has been a good experience, Doris actually appreciates my help, and I really do not mind helping her. W got a good rain yesterday so I will have to think about mowing the yard.
Tomorrow is Thursday. Last Thursday I worked in the yard all day since I was off because of the store closing. This Thursday I am working but will try to get the yard mowed. Might put it off until Friday since I will have a three day weekend this week (worked last Saturday).
GUIDELINES AND GUARDRAILS
Psalm 16:11 - You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your
right hand there are pleasures forever.
Proverbs 3:1,2 - My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
Reading thru the Bible, once again in "17 - Read II Kings 6-8 (Obedient Christians need not fear for tomorrow! instead, we can rejoice in the promises of God, who shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:19)
Keep It Simple - We all make mistakes! We do the Steps to claim our mistakes! We recover when we
learn from our mistakes.
MMM - just some thoughts: (1) LBB - Easy does it does not mean not doing it. It can be hard work.
(2) RFX - ...our willingness to clean house is still largely theoretical.
Saved by Grace. . . Living by Faith,
Mike
