Again, a nice morning walk outside! I worked both stores but was home a little after noon. Did some laundry and then scrubbed the white fence and pulled weeds at the bottom of the driveway and right outside the back door.
Plans are to finish ironing and then listen to Paul’s and Greg’s messages. Trying to keep organized for Thursday’s trip to Albion, Saturday’s Christmas in July party, and the Loyalhanna Review Publication party, which seems to have fallen into my lap! Hard to know what you are doing when you don’t know what you are doing! Sigh.
Here is Steve’s thoughts from Sunday – Can God Really Change me? We should think about who we want to be. Watch what God does, then DO it! Is that too idealistic? Make His teachings be the blueprint for your life. Work as hard as you possibly can on one thing, and see what happens. One thing! We will perfect it! The narrow way leads to life – but that means you have to say ‘no’ to a LOT. Enter the narrow way – everything will be given to you; your life will open up. Believing isn’t enough; do what he SAYS. YES God can change you. Put him to the test. What are you going to seek and perfect first? Don’t do NOTHING!

And one of my favorite DJ’s from the Y’d Awake morning show on Y108 has a birthday today. I’m sure she won’t be reading this, but I’m still wishing her a very happy day!
TOMORROW July 13th is:
Looks like a good day to enjoy some yummy food – hope you don’t have to go to Delaware to do it! And Cow Appreciation Day! Oh Joy! Cows are SO special! Greg used to come ‘cow tipping’ at my house, because I had them displayed everywhere. Still have some – but not as many. So happy Cow day! God bless….
