It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. It seemed like a good idea just to type a few words, to hold a place in case I think of something it would have been nice to document! 

Yes! That’s still how it’s going …

Halfway across the country

Sunsets & kitties are as delightful to behold in Florida as in Oklahoma!

Just one day …

 I just skipped one day of Wordle. That was enough for now. 

Puzzling or not …

 1-2-24 

Once again God is calling me to abstain from Wordle as an act of faith in God & my desire to know & do God’s will, to God’s glory. 

This seems to be calling me, just for today, at least for today, to give up puzzles — Wordle, Word Search, other little distractions I cling to for escape, avoidance, mindlessness. It’s a simple & tangible act of faith. Puzzles aren’t harmful in themselves but my clinging to them & doing them instead of more important things — & not trusting God to reveal to me the more important things — has clearly become an obstacle to positive change in my life. So, just for today, 1-2-24, I pray to let go of puzzles, including my Wordle streak, as an act of faith in God & my desire to know & do His will for my life.

1-3-24 I made it thru yesterday without playing Wordle. My current streak ended at 48 since I didn’t play. I’m grateful I could trust God to help me abstain & also abstain from & toss some newspaper puzzles. 

Today I want to play again. It’s 3:47 pm. I attended, read & shared in DDmed & CLA miracles meeting. I’ve transferred & deleted a lot of photos. I have a lot of packing to do. Is it OK to take a Wordle break? I guess I will find out …

 Here’s to the first day of 2024! No glorious sunrise, clouds, sunset or big bass photos, but how about those black-eyed peas?!? Happy New Year!

Enjoyed starting the day on the farm, then heading back to the other home in Norman. No resolutions. Just love, acceptance, peace, hope & gratitude. 

123123 Goodbye, 2023

It is what it is. 

I’m grateful. 

How Does a Weary World Rejoice? Christmas Day

Love God. Make room for God. Trust God. Love people as God loves me. Give thanks & glory to God. 

“Since no one knows the day or the hour that the Son of God will return, then we ought to be ready to give God our best, lean not on our own understanding, and in all our ways trust God to direct our paths.”
