It's a dreary overcast day. I love it! Nothing on the schedule until later tonight. Lots of great reading done today and more on the way. Laundry getting clean and even attempted a bit of housework. Buddy is on her third nap of the day and I am contemplating my first.
Church rocked the house yesterday. 9:30 choir and orchestra gave a small peek into Christmas and blew us away. I'm usually in choir but sat out yesterday since I'm not singing in Christmas Celebration this year. The whole service was so worshipful. Ben Stewart brought it...brought the Word. I have read more Twitters and Facebook status updates with the Ben Stewart sentiment expressed. God's presence was all over 7401.
Roy and I attempted to see a Rice baseball game Sunday afternoon but we left due to no concession stands being open. It was summer hot in that stadium.
Friday I was reading Blue Jesus, fiction, and coming to the critical part in the book where explanations are given and loose ends tied neatly together. The book stopped making sense and it seemed I was re-reading something I had just read. Quick check of the pages and missing from the book are pages 232-280. Saturday morning, I ran over to Barnes and Noble to exchange the book for one with all the pages. I haven't finished it yet because I have enjoyed the story so much, I'm not ready for it to be over.
I cannot get enough of the Old Testament when reading out of the New Living Translation. I love how conversational it is. Elijah and Ahab are popping off the page. It is good to return to a much told story and see it so differently. I love how God's Word is alive!
Can't resist the nap that is tugging at my eyelids.
