Oops! I forgot to write an entry Sunday so this Monday morning I will write and post date it for Sunday. Yes Sonny the computer will allow and even help you lie about time and place. Sunday morning I had Blue Bonnet nuked sausage in grilled mustard spread wheat bread and water. Yes water. I think the stuff here has what Ponce de Leon was looking for. Then I worked on the 9th floor lobby puzzle for a couple hours and rode down to chapel with ladies from my floor. The preacher man (PM) is the most compelling and interesting preacher I have ever heard. He always, always, ties the old and new testament readings to our time and US. When he starts to preach all the old lady gossiping, and old men also, stop and we all pay close attention. Today from the old he related the story about God directing Samuel to pick out the king to replace Saul. I have never given much thought to the process but PM remarked that David was probably even too young to participate in the planned sacrifice of a red heifer. He was so young that he was assigned to watch the sheep. PM told us the important point was that despite all the humans likely suspecting God would pick the eldest son of Jesse because he looked “good” God choose David because he say into people’s hearts and minds. And David pleased God. So! PM then semi chastised us and himself for our human frailty of trying to decide what God would do. God will do what God will do. Trust God for he sees all time.
Geek point! That observation is perfectly in line with some of the latest theories about time being an illusion. Nothing we do can change the future or the past. That is some or all part of the multiverse idea floating amongst theoreticians. If God can see the future then the future must be set or else the future would be constantly changing and just be a blur. Such observations are pointless to us as we have to do today what we need to do today.
The new testament was about JC parable about the Father’s kingdom being like a sower. The sower scatters the seed and knows not how to make the seed or even direst it to grow. That is all in God’s charge. The PM told us the parable was likely a Hebrew joke because it does not have the smallest seed nor does it grow big enough to roost birds because the farmers would destroy the plant in its youth because it is a weed.
After chapel Ras and I took a 3 hour nap. Then I cooked dinner: stuffed pork chop in a bag and an ear of truly roasted corn plus sauerkraut. After dinner he insisted on playing bird and armadillo. He played for 30 minutes then threw up. I cleaned the mess and then coated his front paws with Vaseline. Shortly thereafter he had a heroic BM and danced around the room. Nap. I got up at 11 pm and took vital signs and went to work on puzzle. We finally got all the edges complete and in the right order. I found 11 pieces on the floor and left a note reminding the puzzlers to check the floor from time to time. Many wear dangly bracelets that can accidently drag pieces off the edge of the table.
Monday morning I am going to hound the auto shop until they finish my car and demand a discount to cover cost of transportation.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
