Election day! I know it won’t put all of our issues and distresses to rest, but maybe some of the campaign ads will be gone. I did vote this afternoon at a local church. They had the entrance decorated in festive fall foliage, and I enjoyed that.
The funny little start to my day was that I was talking to my sister on the phone when my alarm went off. I could hear it ringing on my end but she couldn’t. When we hung up, I shut off the alarm and then scrolled to look at my emails. I found this: ‘SEE HOW YOU CAN GET RID OF THAT RINGING IN YOUR EARS’ …. Amazing. How do they KNOW?
Today my oldest grandson turned 15. He is an amazing young man, very energetic, talented, creative, quick-witted, sensitive, faith-focused, and motivated. I have enjoyed watching him grow and learn and mature, and can’t wait to see what God has for him in his life. I love you, Peyton, and wish the best for you in everything you do! I’ll just share some pictures…
Paul from River Hill spoke on the Rich Young Ruler: The One Thing That you Lack. It breaks down into several categories. 1) What do we desire? Solomon desired Wisdom, David wanted to be close to God, Paul wanted to gain Christ; to PRESS ON – forgetting what is behind and pressing on to the prize. We need to listen to Jesus. 2) One Thing is missing – We are unwilling to surrender all; let go and focus on following Jesus. 3) Jesus has the answers. We put our peace in things/people instead of Jesus. The one thing we need to do is follow Jesus. If Jesus had that conversation with you, what would He tell you that you lack? What should you set aside to follow Him? We must live to people see Jesus in us.
On this day in 1868 Ulysses S Grant won presidential election, and in 1911 Chevrolet officially entered the automobile market in competition with the Ford Model T; in 1956 the Wizard of Oz made its television premier – I was six years old! Sharing a birthday with Peyton is Charles Bronson in 1921. Annie Oakley died in 1926, and in 1990 Mary Martin died at age 76. She played Mary Martin in the televised ‘play’ version of Peter Pan – and still remains my favorite Peter Pan of all!
TOMORROW November 4 is:
