Gen and I took separate morning walks. I had a little spy watching me on my walk; Gen took Rainy and that is a slow process! We left the house after breakfast about the same time – she headed out to see a cousin, her mom, and then on home to New York. I had a dentist appointment with my favorite dentist Dr. Lane (I think that’s an oxymoron… ) Low and behold I had a credit balance and ended up getting a Water Pik no cost! Amazing. Then a long afternoon for me at work(s).
But as for yesterday’s garden adventures, Gen had promised to help me put down landscape fabric, lay mulch, and clean up the over-crowded plants. She dug up a whole bag of dead roots and loosened the soil around my rose bushes. When we were done it looked amazing! She also brought me a different type of Lamb’s Ear – I think she said Helen von Stein. It has huge floppy fluffy leaves! So now I have both kinds. Slowly filling in the hill!
Today I listened to Micah at Old Mahoning. His message was the Purpose of the Cross – Living life to be fulfilled. The first purpose is for redemption – One died for all; aka Christ died for us once and all of our sins are covered, past and future. All we have to do is accept it. 2) Transformation – we are a NEW creation, filled with God’s spirit. 3) Reconciliation – between man and man, and man and Christ. We must meet the standards that HE set! 4) Representation – we must be ambassadors for Christ and live for his purpose in our lives.
On this day in 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain with the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. In 1900 Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. was founded. Vice President Calvin Coolige became the 30th US President upon the death of President Warren G Harding in 1923. Tony Bennett was born in 1926, and Martha Stewart in 1941.
TOMORROW, August 4th, is:
I will absolutely eat a chocolate chip cookie. I doubt I will connect with the Coast Guard, and my night out will be at Kelly’s. Which brings me to my closing point. I won’t have proper access to what I need to post in the Word Garden while I’m at Kelly’s, and not sure how much I’ll be going back and forth; not sure of what hours I’ll have to devote to that. So don’t be alarmed if I don’t post regularly for a week or so. I’ll try to catch up eventually. In the meantime, make up your own “NATIONAL” day and create something fun – then share it! God bless —
