Sleepy to the Inth Degree.

 Sleepy to the Inth Degree.

 

One of the medications taken around here for pain has a 24-hour effectiveness. Last night the old woman was hearing about it from muscles that had unloaded and distributed the oyster shell for the hens. The feed sacks are a bit floppy, but not the oyster shell. It felt a bit like a concrete cinder block—50 pounds worth! Anyway, the after effects of that pill caused a droopiness about the house. SOME work got done today, but it was done with a certain lack of enthusiasm. Oh well.

 

On lesson seven in Matthew now, but some of the things are making me wonder. Did you know that the three wise men were not kings? And the alignment of three planets was likely the “star” that led them to Bethlehem. Had it been more noticeable to those who did not know to look for it, no one would necessarily seen it anyway. Bradford did not mention it, but one of the things recently read around here was about how Daniel foretold the birth of the son of God. He was 600 years before the birth of Christ, but he had already stated that these men would find the Messiah. And they believed him because he had already proved that he knew the future because of the prediction concerning the famine and the fat years that changed all of Egypt during his time under the Pharoah. Here a little and there a little, the Bible tells us more as we read it more.

 

My sister-by-another-mother, Sharon Dickerson, let me know yesterday that her son David had to go to the hospital for a possible stroke. He is still in the hospital and has had a MRI. Yesterday he could only sip a bit of water, but today he told his mom that he was eating and that the food was good. Please pray for David and for his mom Sharon that this little bump in the road will not crater and that he will be able to go back to work soon.

 

Went down to Patty’s this morning and took her some small red potatoes that were left here by Maggie Sewell. She had a five-pound bag of them. Gave some to Shona for her family and ate some myself. Very good little ‘tators! While taking the potatoes to Patty, it was easy to put some freeze-dried beef liver pieces in a bag for Roxie. She really seemed to like that stuff. Meanwhile, Patty sent my two dogs four little snack packs of chicken. Those snack packs were a meal for Roxie, but just about constituted a bite for these two dogs.

 

Figured out what to give number one son for his birthday. It is not always easy to figure out what to give these kids for birthdays. Seems most of the birthdays hit in May, too. Jennifer wants her gift to be a surprise. This time she will get a surprise. Gary not so much. May send him another book soon since he is interested in survival skills and plants a person can eat. Kinda interesting.

 

Have not heard any more about Zeke or Tami. Let’s just pray for them and remember that it is only God who can heal us. Let us be grateful for all the blessings given to us daily.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
