MONDAY MORNING, FEELING FINE!

All is well so far this morning.  It's very, very cold today, and Max, now nearly 13 yrs.old, is very disappointed, as he has figured out that no one is taking him for a walk.  It's supposed to warm up some this afternoon, and I'll rustle up the warm jacket and mittens, and let him run and jump a bit. It's as good for me as it is for him.


Our kids reminded us the other day that it was colder here last year than it is this year.  Our memories of last year are apparently insufficient. Never has it felt so cold in MN to me as this year's temp.


There is not too much going on, either, to make one feel celebratory.  We celebrate things like:  Waking up in the morning, remembering to brush teeth and comb hair, checking the calendar to see if we have any appointments or to tell me which day it is, and also to tell us if Peg will be coming to go to work from here this afternoon.  If so, she spends the rest of the night here and will be with us in the morning. (That's wonderful!)


I took out a big chuck roast to defrost and will cook it one of these days when Mitch and gang can come for dinner. He has been begging for "stringy meat." One of his favorites.  I hope I can remember how to fix the darn thing!  I think you just brown it, put it in the oven with veggies, and potatoes and a couple of hours later, voila!  Stringy meat! Then fix gravy from the drippings.


I hope you are not disappointed in my lack of a Bible Story.  I just ran out of steam.  Or truly, I ran out of ideas.  Perhaps, I might  write up a story about each bible character as so many people in the bible interest me.  Ruth, for instance. She's got a great story.  But right now, it's the season of Lent in the church as we go forward to Easter Sunday.  Christ's death on the cross, called Good Friday (What was good about it is that He died for us, for our sins!) and His Resurrection on Easter Sunday, all are part of the greatest story ever told. I'm not sure my writing would add a bit to that wonderful moment in time!


I will just pray for you, for God's Spirit to abide in you and therefore for Jesus to be part of your daily life.  And I ask you to do the same for me. There is no real life without Him.  With the Lord, we have life with a capital L, LIFE!


Have a great day, my friends!
