THE NOSEY NEIGBOR-Reaching for joy.


GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, coming to you from June 9,2020
I can’t say, I am excited about writing today but for the discipline of the exercise I will pull something together.

My disciplines appear to be flagging. The resolve to read through the book of Romans before my 70th year is up is sputtering out. Five more times to reach that goal.
I paused again to take in the beauty of the Jacaranda, attempting to gather some inspiration for the day. The day was dampened by a late start and a few other events that were not on my agenda. My favorite spots did not give me the usual joy.
“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance” (Psalm 16:6).
“Forgetting God’s past faithfulness deprives you of the comfort you want and God of the glory he deserves.” ~Challies
I keep hoping that our current events will calm down and somehow all will be behind us.
I keep walking and walking into the unknown with incredible events happening before the next one rolls on the heal of the current one.
Evidence of God's footprints surround me. If there is such a thing as re-memories, I find myself with a heart of thankfulness. They give me a chance to relive the good moments.
I am struggling with doing a better job of structuring my day.
I find myself longing for the physical presence of dear friends and loved ones.
“From the rising of the sun and from the west, there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.” —Isaiah 45:6–7
