It was nice to be back at home at C3…
I’m ready to just be “at home” for a little while. This morning was good. Byron spoke about forgiveness…which is also what I heard last Sunday in Nashville - I guess I’ve got some work to do in that area (Ya think?!). It’s definitely a daily struggle, at times.
I sang, “None but Jesus“, and for some reason find it hard to sing that particular song…it’s a bad key for me or something…
But, this morning - especially in the second service - I could hear the people singing along with me (sometimes that’s hard to do in the theaters… the acoustics seem to throw sound the other direction), anyway, I could hear the song of the people and it lifted me somehow…gave me strength to sing a song that my heart loves, but my voice…not so much.
It’s amazing how the energy in the room affects me. I’ve been totally deflated by the room when it’s “cold” and unresponsive, no matter how the music turns out - but, I can be so lifted by feeling the Spirit and knowing people are with me as I worship…even if I’m having a bad day.
My back held out through both services, so that was great. Then, after lunch, I got a short - but deep - nap…one of those where you aren’t sure where you are when you wake up….and no migraines yet today. So, all in all - it’s been a banner Sunday.
It was just great to be back with my peeps again…it’s always good to come home.
C3 is for me….
Thanks to all of you who “invest and invite” to make it all possible…you’ll never know what your sacrifices mean. 
Peace to you all.
…okay, so I just turned on public television to see Rick Steves twirling around in the Alps like Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” - mildly disturbing!!
This Saturday has been much like many others - I feel like I’m running, or at least jogging - racing toward the “finish line” of a reasonable bedtime - desperately trying to get everything done so that tomorrow morning goes well - or at least has no major catastrophes.
I wonder, “Is this how the Jewish people felt racing sundown before the Sabbath when they could do no more work?” It may seem like a random thought, but that’s nothing unusual for me…
One of the first things I said this morning - after asking what time it was (I slept from 10 to 7 - yippee!) - was, “I get these thoughts and ideas in my head - they roll around and around and try to make me crazy...so, if I don’t blog or write, then I’ll lose it.” But, I rarely have time to blog on Saturday, these days - and fewer people read on the weekend anyway, so I just have to hold it in until I get a moment to write…
…so, now’s my moment, and I have nothing…just random ramblings. And soon it will be off to the races again. Any minute, there will be a buzzer, a call, a crash - and I’ll be off.
But, tomorrow will be smoother for all of my craziness today - I’m just trying to pave the way for a great Sunday morning (which will be here at the crack of dawn)…
There’s the doorbell, so I better run!
Peace out.
…so we’re finally home.
and the dogs are so happy to see us.
and my mom stocked my fridge with fresh milk and breakfast foods.
and there was a huge box by the front door!!!
so now i’m already washing laundry, checking on my plants, back on my own laptop (no wifi in texas), and…
i now have…A RUBY RED FAINTING COUCH!
and all is right in my little corner of the world.
Now to sleep and dream (of a ruby red fainting couch…). Peace.
i didn’t do it.
i didn’t get well overnight.
so now i’m watching random church services on t.v…
oh well, i know many hearts will be changed this morning at c3 - i can pray for that.
okay, this guy is obnoxious…he keeps talking about being “selfless” and being a “servant”, and he’s yelling…maybe he has issues with feeling like he’s not being heard. evidently.
i know these times when i’m grounded can be learning times for me. but, i just feel disconnected…like i’m waiting for everyone to come home and let me know what’s going on out there…
…i will be able to tell them all about most of our local services, where to buy a great pasta strainer, and that i’m convinced the “fluidity” exercise system would change my life.
i need to get where i can at least see out of a window…so i can wait for my songbirds. i sound pretty pitiful, actually. but i really do love them.
yesterday, in between torrential downpours, a cardinal came and flew around and had some seed…he visited just long enough for me to see him - he interrupted the rain and the grayness for me.
it won’t be long now before the house will be full again…and i’ll get to hear all about the morning.
that will be nice - like my cardinal…interrupting the grayness.
peace.
