What an excellent surprise! Up and at’em by 6:15, sat to blog, Red started barking at a car in the driveway. Who so early? My daughter! She drove the two hour trip to wish me Happy Birthday and deliver the fabulous gifts of her own handicraft. The two caps are crocheted with very fine quality yarns and just perfect stitches. She told us crochet cannot be made on machines, like knitting, so is always handwork. She IS a professional fiber artist, not simply a good amateur. We had a pleasant and jovial three hour visit, often attending to the play between her kitty and my dog. Just before she left, she rendered an unforgettable and funny version of Happy Birthday dear mommy. All so wonderful. Many thanks to her and to our better angels.
Now to work, feeling resistant, I admit.
First I pray: Lord, guide all the people in the world’s governments—so many with good intentions and wrong headed methods, so many downright Hasnamuss, and each one us governed thinks we know which is which. But I think only you know, Lord, and I guess I’m just asking for an end of all the hurtful confusion. And again I pray particularly for the peace and prosperity of my tribe of loved ones, even it virtue signalers revile me for it. And I pray for forgiveness for your designations of my intolerance, for sins I don’t recognize. Most of all thank you, Jesus, for the memories and activities and impressions of these days.
Now sense and breathe.
The Five prophets ( JC included) as best I remembered
Carry it forth in this day; work in all and everything.
