Change . . . I don't handle it well apparently

Too many changes being thrown at my, at once. . or I'm getting less flexible as I get older. My BP is up, my weight is up, my mood is down, my libido is down. Looks like most of my stress triggers are just going to get worse , before they get better, so hang on for the ride I guess.

He's Still Working On Me

Several conversations over past few days have had me thinking, praying, pondering and searching the scriptures. "How can you continue each day, with a husband who is terminal/chronically ill?" "What have learned through all of this?" "I know Satan's tricks" "I want to see a psychic" "I'm a Christian, BUT. . . " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY9nii6s9mM I never want to be so arrogant as to assume that Satan can't touch me, that I'm above the trials of this world, or that I can disregard His words and commands.

Trinity - my thoughts after last Sunday's sermon

After last Sunday's sermon at church, I have done a lot of thinking and studying about the Trinity. How can God be one, yet three? My grandfather, had very little formal education, yet was probably one of the most educated people I have ever met. He read, studied and pondered on things. This is how my grandfather explained the trinity to me, as a child - and I have never forgotten it. Water is sorta like God. . . in it's liquid form, it's God the Father. . . When you spill a glass of water it gets every where. . into every nook and cranny. Places you didn't know existed until the water seeped into it. God the Father is like that -- He gets into every nook and cranny of your life, every crevice and you soon find places and thoughts that you didn't know existed. In it's solid state - water is ice (still has the same molecular structure, so it's still water, just as God is still God) And Jesus is sorta like that for us. . solid, tangible. He came to show us God in the flesh. and finally in it's gaseous state, water is steam (again still has the same H2O structure, so still water- and God is still God), and God the Holy Spirit. . steam soothes the aches , cleanses impurities, and permeates even some solids. . The Holy Spirit was sent as a comforter, a conscious (to cleanse impurities of our life), etc. Any way -- just my ramblings about our sermon last week.

March came in like a lion

4 inches of new snow, on top of the last snow that hadn't melted yet. Most everything is cancelled for today. No church, no Easter cantata practice, etc.
