I took a walk in the cloudy drizzle this morning, but it was refreshing. I took lots of pictures of trees and flowers and that brightened my spirit!
I spent the day cleaning, and even did a quick scrub job on the white fence, and hosed it off. Looks much better. I picked Kath up and we went over to visit with Mom, but it was cold and windy, and the first thing she did was pull the blanket up over her head and wouldn’t come out! We got her a few extra blankets but she just snuggled down, eyes closed – so we didn’t stay very long. It was really not a good day to be outside!
I will share Greg’s message from Vanderbilt. Today’s churches are hurting; they stray from the Bible. We are told that some very small things are small but mighty, and Greg sited Locusts. Scripture says they have no leader, or no king – but look what they do as they move forward together. Destruction to everything in their path. We DO have a leader, a King – so as we advance we should leave constructive efforts behind! Jesus said to us, GO! And we are failing in that task. We need to be a transformed people – and follow our King! WE HAVE A KING and are not to be wondering around aimlessly. When we mess up, we are forgiven. Doesn’t your sin bother you? The Lord is on the throne, he’s our redemption, and he supplies all of our needs. He cleanses us. It’s a pleasure to serve our king; he covers us – He’s the BOSS!!!
On this day in 1828 the first American dictionary (by Noah Webster) was published; In 1861 the Union made a formal surrender of Ft. Sumter. In 1865 Lincoln was shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington DC; in 1902 J. C. Penney opened his first store. In 1910 president Taft began the tradition of throwing out the ball on opening day, and in 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg at 11:40pm. Loretta Lynn was born in 1932, Rachel Carson died at age 56 in 1964, and Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley announced intentions to divorce in 1994.
