I need some time off! When I find myself mowing, painting, cleaning, with intent ... it usually means it is time to take a break. I love that I have the energy to do these things (thank You God) but they often are a product of furstration. As in the last post where I proclaim I am peopled out, I need to get away for awhile to some place that does not yeild the same anxiousness as where I am. Not that it is bad here .... best place I have ever been ... I just can't keep smiling at the things that hurt or irritate. I have become more vocal in dealing with issues that perplex the mind in simplicity yet yield no understanding. Am I right all the time, of course not, and I am not always wrong either. Instruction is a good thing if the product is to enhance or uplift the recipient of such instruction. When it is received as a club or used as one is the issue. The beginning of wisdom is the realization of God. After that realization it should be understood that listening to God would be a catalyst in action toward the will of the same. He did not wind us up and release us to our own intent and imagination. I have learned this the hard way. Yes, I can joyfully say, "God has kicked my ass on several occasions!" So why am I so bouncy? It is when I choose to expect more from those who are at their wisdom limit. And that ain't my job.

thanks for listening.

I am peopled out. The collective consensus of the leaders was, doze the house. Then it was determined that it could be saved. From doze it, to a priceless gem in a matte of weeks has amazed me. I started to do some work on this old house so a young married couple could move in. People said "NO NO there is mold in the house!" Big deal. I grew up with mold as a pet! It never killed me! So I buy a paint sprayer and begin to fix the house up. I heard today that there were people who thought I should have washed the windows before taping them so that paint would not get on them. They said they were dirty! Wait ---- yesterday you were going to doze it into a pile!!!!! of let the fire department burn it down!!! AND TODAY YOU MUST WASH THE WINDOWS BEFORE YOU TAPE THEM! I want to live on my own little island BY MY SELF!

People ----- if you don't want to do anything that is OK but if your anything you like to do is to comment on the anything that someone else is doing, find something else to do or nothing will get done.

CA out!

Another Sunday finished! Heaven is such because there is no preparation for worship (i think). After the Super Bowel Sunday of Easter ..... and all you do to bring the CEO,s (Christmas and Easter only) into a relationship with the church and Jesus, the following Sunday the faithful return to an empty sanctuary where the energy level is so low a limbo expert can't get under it. All that energy gone from Super Bowel Sunday.

In every congregation I have been in, I have suggested we cancel both Christmas and Easter. O No! There might be someone who will be saved! Translation: there might be someone who will become members and help with the work on Easter and Christmas. PEOPLE THEY AINT COMMIN BACK TILL CHRISTMAS.

The weather is fantastic here but if you have allergies it is brutal. My car is covered with yellow pollen in the morning and my head explodes around noon.

Loved the postcard. Loved the pictures.

Love you all.

CA out.
