Nothing like the sound, the regretful sound of your husband discovering "clean up on aisle 9" in the hallway at 4:00 am. He closes the door when he gets up thus the agonizing sound took me out of my restful slumber I opened the bedroom door to come help but when I saw that it was a fur ball, I left Roy in the silence of paper towel retrieval to get that fur up. Willie did not go into the bonus room last night and most nights he regrets his decision before we go to sleep. His timing was off. Chubola has ditched her brothers to hang out ๐ ๐ where the boys are ๐ ๐ . So that is the latest news here with the The Trio and The Boys. Being awake since 4:00 am might mean a nap at 11:00 am.
This morning, like really early morning, I caught a few Reels on FB. In three straight reels, were three different types of preachers. The first one, older, crustier with words preacher, grabbed your attention by saying something that stirs you up until he begins to expand on his thoughts and you see the truth of his preaching. The next preacher was probably in his late 40s and really super buff. Tight tennis polo shirt, tight jeans (not because they don't fit anymore, and with a very immaculate trimmed beard. He had a display that was part of his sermon but he noticeably stood sideways almost like a body builder does for a contest. This preacher wasn't oiled up though. The last picture was a man in a blue t-shirt surrounded by five men in suits. A trucker asked if he could park his truck in the church parking lot, pastor said yes, if he would attend Sunday service. Trucker did and got saved. We were at Pig and Grits for lunch several months ago and four men in suits assembled at a table nearby. Roy thought they were business men, I said preachers. If we had bet I would have won. Each one of those men said grace over their meals. Out loud and loud, each one trying to out do the others in being grateful. While kind of funny it is kind of refreshing.
We had a guest preacher Sunday and he was very good, really good. He preached from John 10, Jesus the Good Shepherd, and I could see Roy taking copious notes. I was in the choir loft. I took notes as well. Yep, second Sunday in the loft. We were few in number but big in enthusiasm as we sang out. The loud of the world is subdued in the silence of coming to worship. Reading God's Word together, singing and studying with a good bit of laugher before, even some during and after the service. The preacher, Daniel Beck of Morganton, told a story about his dog, a chi-weenie with a huge underbite, needing to be on a leash at all times while out of the house comparing to the Jack Russell they had who could be trusted to run about and come in when called. It was a great example to illustrate John 10.
Sunday was September 21st and I didn't wish my friend a Happy EWF Day. She is celebrating in heaven and has probably a better tune to dance with, but Do You Remember is always a good song.
We are coming up to the year anniversary of Helene. It is so encouraging to see homes rebuilt, churches open, businesses returning and the progress made this past year. On a personal note I am remembering the illness and recovery from a year ago when I got the double barrel shot of pneumonia and Covid.
There are all kinds of info laden Facebook reels filled with helpful stuff and there is quite some good comedy to watch or in many cases remember. One type of reel that gives me some trouble are the ones that are too long or it takes forever to get to the main point. The other day I watched part of one about 13 things older people should quit doing if you want to remain social and have people talk to you. In the amount of time they had, only 5 were covered and they were the obvious ones and the build up was way too much.
No choir practice tonight. We are the weary and the wounded. Kind of relieved cause it was looking like rain and with the detour...I was getting just a little bitty taddy nervous. Guess all my energy went into the excitement that the creamer we use is on sale at both Publix and Ingles. As well as the cold foam. Yehaw!
Well, it looks like the Reels have had the most attention in my limited attention span.
