Missed my window of walking outside opportunity – it was raining when I was ready to walk. But as soon as I finished on the treadmill it quit! Did normal chores, then finished the cinnamon rolls that the Hancher guys requested, and mixed up the dough for the homemade bread. THAT will be supper and I can’t wait.
I got the little valances made for the family room. If they aren’t dark enough I have an idea up my sleeve, but I need to wait until it’s sunny to see how effective they are first.
Watched Godwink Christmas (the first one) while I was ironing. That is my go-to movie of choice! Paul Campbell is my absolute favorite!
Rod’s message from Martin’s Ferry is a continuation of Elijah – at Mt. Carmel; FIRE FROM HEAVEN. If God’s gonna put you in an important place, he’s going to make sure your heart is ready. God sends Elijah (his heart is ready!) to King Ahab; Ahab calls him a snake! To which Elijah basically says, ‘It’s not my fault – it’s yours!’ So there is a showdown: the prophets of Baal and the one prophet of God. Who will you worship? God’s people just don’t say anything; they remained neutral; all it takes to lose it all is for God’s people to be silent. Both prepared their alters and the prophets of Baal called on him all day but no response. Elijah turned to God: “YOU are God! Make yourself known, and why you sent me!” No frenzy, no panic – but the fire came. The people turned their hearts back to God. Elijah had all the prophets of Baal slaughtered. Truths: 1) Divided allegiance is as wrong as idolatry. 2) Most effective tool is a prayer of faith. 3) Never underestimate the power of being truly dedicated to God
On this day in 2018 Barbara Streisand revealed that she had cloned her dog twice. In 2020 the Dow Jones index suffered its biggest points fall in history amid concern of COVID. Louis Vuitton died at age 70 in 1892, Fred Rogers (and with him, Daniel Tiger, Henrietta Pussycat, Lady Elaine Fairchild, X the Owl, King Friday the 13th, Sarah Saturday, Prince Tuesday — on and on!) died in 2003 at age 74, and Leonard Nimoy at age 83 in 2015. John Steinbeck (Grapes of Wrath) was born in 1902, Joanne Woodward (actress) in 1930, and Elizabeth Taylor in 1932. And my friends Trent and Michelle’s youngest son, Alexander, turned three today! Happy birthday Alex! Have a wonderful celebration – I sure miss seeing you guys!
