Grüß Gott

 

Shadows and reflections 

     Not sure I even said hello to you yesterday, and it was by custom your day of worship.  Not a good thing, and can’t be made up. It occurs to me that I have a subconscious aim to at least say hello to God daily. I’m annoyed with myself when I don’t. But I don’t necessarily reach up for truly deep contact. I’m telling myself this, not that it will cause me to do better. I wish. 

    Truly I enjoyed my am dream. I got involved in a movie production in the neighborhood. Row of fine houses or facades at east end of the street, my end slumber or ordinary. Lush green grass in Cosys yard, she came out and I told hero remembered when it was dirt clods. I admired the house, but wasn’t out to get one. Red and I were crossing the street.  A handsome man came over, we talked, and quickly became attached. But I’m married. It’s ok. Wants my help making a movie; I’m in it. Next morning he’s back. Many people in field, some cartwheeling, and he introduces me to his boss, Michael Moore.  A joins us; I sense he’s disturbed, maybe jealous. MM starts describing his film in high falutin’ language. Info and say I get it. A answers with an equally complex long analysis, and I laugh to myself, thinking that’s why I married him. For his ability to out talk anybody.

     Lord help us make the best of our day. And bless Trump’s efforts to help US. IJN

     People say such are ineffectual selfish prayers. But I say it can’t hurt to ask.

Gear

 

Accupressure gifts from Susan Brown

     That was a fun PSC session and now I have 5 seeds taped in my left ear To exert mild pressure point

      We met a new dog, Georgy, and his couple in front of our house, and Red seemed very pleased. Then Baxter the boxer came by with A and, his owners. I moved on, but it was great to observe the two couples meet and interact through their dogs. 

    JP drove us to Beals for ice cream today. Very pleasant though chilly in the sunshine. Blueberry Cobbler as C recommended; very delicious.

       Thank you , Lord, for pleasant times.

Noon already

 

Worm tracks. Not fond of them either

And here I still sit. Phone calls this am: bro,  spectrum, terminix ( 3 ants crawling on me!  In my lounge chair!!  Guess I do not welcome all God’s creatures all the time). 

    Finally say hello, Lord. Let the thought of you lift my spirits. Move me, move with me. Bless my dear ones. IJN

More ignorance

 

OK. So you ignore me and I will ignore you

(Something wrong with blogger this morning. Or phone. Images not posting 
I take it back. It just self corrected.)

Now I’ve lost my whole reverie as I was finishing it!  I dislike the feeling of frustration and inauthenticity that comes with trying to reconstruct it. I also feel pressured to walk Red NOW!  So off I go, praying forgive me and walk with me, Jesus.

    And what a grand walk it was; see my other blog for a few dets.
   
      Earlier I remarked how far into the day I had gotten without saying hello, Jesus.  I may say to myself, like my boy I, I’m relaxing; or I’m taking my leisure with comic strips, Sudoku, Jumble, and family phone calls.  But that’s insincere.  I have said many times, “just a closer walk with Thee,” but I make very little effort daily to come close to God.  I may be waiting for Godot, to find out what that encounter really entails, but that’s insincere seems likely to be too late.  I pray for forgiveness and mercy.  IJN
