My brother has been trying to get a hold of me for a few days. I didn’t want to talk to him because I’m embarrassed from the ridiculous lie that has gotten me fired and labeled me by the company as one who had gross misconduct.
Finally, he got ahold of me. I was annoyed and told him I just wanted to be around my family right now. Then he told of something that happened to him.
The Lord Will Provide
I received a “thinking of you” card in the mail today from someone at my church. Her name is Jill. When I opened it handwriting mostly filled it. Jill and her husband were our Sunday School teachers when we first began attending our church. In the years past of their life they had been missionaries in another country.
Free Root Beer Float
Just wanted to let anyone know who has an interest. Sonic Drive In is giving away free rootbeer floats tonight after 8pm. I’m goin’ with all my children and my husband. You should go too!
God Is Powerful
Fear God for He is mighty. That’s not a Bible verse I just made it up. But I did read about how mighty He is in Romans 11 today:
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
34 For who has know the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?
35 Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to Him again?
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
God Does Speaks In 2007
One of the passions of my life is the Bible. I’m not a perfect human but I do enjoy spending time focusing on the things of God. This helps me be a better person. Can God directly talk to me through the New American Standard words of the Bible? Even in 2007. . . Yes! Yes! Yes.
Start of a New Day
At around 6:30 this morning I prayed to God. But I did it in a new way. I wrapped my quilt around me and got on my knees in front of the open window in our bedroom.
Your Smilin’ Face
No one can tell me that I’m doin’ wrong whenever I see you smile at me.
Those are old words from an upbeat James Taylor song. He sings about a girl in the song. But the chorus reminds me of my children. Just being around them lately gives me a peaceful smile that will pop up from time to time with little warning.
Life Is A Fartlek Again
The writer of Marathonpundit emailed my husband to let us know he cross posted my fartlek blog entry. I’m honored.
He also added some interesting word origin info. He said that, Fartlek comes from Swedish, it translates into ‘sudden burst’. Like English, Swedish is a Germanic language, so the root word, for—er—you know—must be the same as the one for fartlek.
Here’s the definition:
“a training technique, used esp. among runners, consisting of bursts of intense effort loosely alternating with less strenuous activity.”

My life gave me a ‘sudden burst’ of stress when I was falsely accused on my job.

On June 15, 1957 a brand spanking-new Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule under the sidewalk in front of the courthouse of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event celebrated the 50 birthday of Oklahoma’s statehood. The car was filled with several artifacts of the time such as:
10 gallons of gasoline
5 quarts of oil
Flags flown over our nation’s capital, state capital, Tulsa county and the city
