The Wind Blew . . .

 The Wind Blew . . .

 

We were not wearing paper hats, but Dear Hearts, the wind blew the trash bin right out of my hands! Waited until we saw the trash truck come up our street before dragging the bin across the road. The wind caught the bin and jerked it away from me. After setting it up straight, the lid whammed back into my head and clonked me quite nicely right where my headband was embedded in my hair. DANG!! That hurt! Max was kind enough to let me go ahead and go back to the house before he brought my bin back to my side fence. Shooo!

 

Max and Laisha have all kinds of good plans about Japan and seeing the World’s Fair. SO happy they get to do this! Simply can’t imagine! We prayed for a safe and happy journey, so that makes me feel better about their trip.

 

The highest wind speed that the old woman saw so far today was 32 mph. Have a sneaking suspicion that it has been higher in some of those gusts! And the sky, lake, and all the distant vistas are as brown as Texas dirt can make them! Will need a shower tonight just to get the grit out of my teeth!

 

Guess we can be happy that so far, we have not lost electricity. The trees outside are whipping up their own storm. Branches on the electric lines would not help anything! At least we are not forecasted to have tornadoes tonight!

 

Still reading in Romans rather than in the book by Lehman Straus about Revelation. The author’s attitude (Straus) attempts to lead others to Christ when it seems just reading what the future holds is enough to scare one’s bad habits to the side! Max was telling us that one of his friends believes that Christ came to experience what man has to stand against. Having experienced all of the things in His life as a human being, He can more easily see how difficult it is to live this life. But what man is there who would die for all of us? Only Christ had the perfect ability to live without sin. Without Him, there would be no forgiveness.

 

Let us hope that all the dirt settles tonight and that tomorrow will be a better day. Meanwhile, pray for those who are bound to the hospital rules and problems. Tami Yonts, Mariellen Rose, Bruce (Olga’s son-in-law), and those like Danny Pollard who are on chemo by a schedule. May they all be comforted and consoled.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
