Just A Little Catch Up

 Think we have finished with the last two days of cool temps as we head to the 75 degree range today. We put the recently potted cosmos and zinnias on the front porch just in case of frost last night. We took a few minutes last night to pull up that horrible vine that invades every thing that moves or doesn't move out of one flowerbed. We also rescued a small rose bush from being smothered by the vine. 

I have now found my life verse...in a hymn. We were singing O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing on Sunday morning in the service. Since we sing every verse I pay attention more so now but this particular verse brought on a rather big smile cause it is so life affirming and so life defining at this moment in time. 

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise ye dumb

Your loosened tongues employ;

Ye blind behold your Savior come;

And leap ye lame for joy.

I had a great follow up appt with the audiologist yesterday. We fine tuned it a bit and I am good to go. They made a six week appointment but if I am not having any problems I can cancel that one and the next appointment would be in October. 

Saturday night before bed I was reading in Luke all about Zechariah, Elizabeth and Mary. It was one of those reading times where the quirkiness of my thoughts went to the funny instead of the deep spiritual nature of what I was reading. So Zechariah questions the angel, when he should of known better, comes out not being able to speak. Elizabeth soon finds herself with child, John the Baptist. Meanwhile angel goes to Mary and he tells her of God's plan and that even her relative Elizabeth is pregnant. Mary goes to see her, Elizabeth if filled with joy, John the Baptist leaps in her womb and Mary, pregnant with Jesus rejoices. So the Holy Spirit is there amongst them and can we deduce, it was better for them because Zechariah couldn't speak? Haha! Just think Elizabeth and Mary got to visit for three months without being mansplained. 

Thursday

I thought my computer was acting up, no just the mouse. I haven't had time though to really write out anything. There is so much I would love to write about, but I cannot at this time. Not that it is all that interesting but some of it is the fact that those wonderful thoughts go out someplace and I just wait for them to come back. Oh well...

We are back in Bible study and we began today. Our topic is aging well and with purpose. Just a look around the table at each other we decided we were at the right place. Our teacher is so interesting and well studied. A specialist in the Greek language and layman and emphasis too on the culture in Judea back then as we read along. 

We've been careful not to plant anything in the ground but it is so dang tempting. I take that back I scattered some sunflower seeds but I feel like the birds had a picnic. That's okay. Wednesday, we went to our regular Publix shopping and brought that home. We then went to Mars Hill and had lunch at La Fiesta, Houston grade salsa and chips, and then over to TJ's. I found a flat of zinnias. For this I am grateful.
