Getting It Straight!
This morning a young lady called to set up the appointment
for some lab work. She said, “Now the surgery is on the 12th of
August.” Well, sure enough, she had the date right and the old woman had it in
her head that it was the 14th of August. Argh! Really don’t like
being this doofless! Then Sterling called and we compared notes about just how
doofless we can be! Oh my!
Last night a big black spider was in the bedroom corner on
the wall. Naturally it needed to be whacked. Unsure if it actually got the full
effect of being whacked, the old woman thoughtlessly tried to squat down and
whack it again. Talk about horrible ouches. Fell over backwards on my butt and
just sat there and whined. Got up and went to find the peppermint bug spray and
sprayed that corner and under the dresser drawers to be sure the spider was at
least feeling as bad as the old woman. Whew! Not sure if the surgery will
correct the problems with the knee to the point that it will bend as it should,
but certainly hope so.
Reading more in Tom Bradford’s Torah lessons today has
included the timing of the Day of Trumpets and what should/could be the
timeline for the rapture—that is, allowing those Christians to be taken up away
from the horrors to come upon the earth when the Day of Atonement occurs. Know
that Isaiah 56 talks about how no one considers that the one who is taken now
does not have to go through the period of the troubles on earth. Now whether or
not that coincides with the Day of Trumpets is anyone’s guess, but it has
always seemed to me to say that the “good among men” were taken now so that
they did not see the evil that would come soon. We all know that the moon and
sun will be darkened, but that could be due to anything from earthquakes to the
asteroids that would hit the earth. The idea that all the water would be turned
to wormwood sounds like a worldwide disaster. If a volcano erupted, that could
be a side effect easily. Whatever it takes, we have been forewarned.
Just went out and gathered eggs again. The girls are still
producing close to a dozen eggs a day, but that one hen has a fragile egg that invariably
makes a mess. Eventually that may change, but meanwhile, any egg that gets egg white
on it needs to be washed and the egg placed in the fridge. Getting several of
those ready to be cooked soon. And believe it or not, the old woman hardly ever
eats eggs! Grayson said that he is ready for a few dozen, so maybe he will come
sometime in the near future and pick up some while he visits. He may have to
work while he is here, but at least it will be something different than just
being at home all the time.
When the message to the kids was sent about Josiah’s birth,
my niece said, “May he always be happy, healthy, and loved.” That was a truly
sweet blessing to ask for. No matter what the situation may encompass with
family feelings, the baby boy should receive God’s blessings and have those
blessings requested for his life. So much is awkward in our lives and in the
relationships with our families and their mates, but it never hurts to ask for blessings
for others, especially the little ones. Just sayin’.
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
