Do you ever wake up with so many jumbled thoughts going through your head that it’s difficult to sort them out into anything meaningful? That’s me this morning! So, bear with me while I shuffle through and list them in no particular order.
- Happy Birthday to The Star Spangled Banner, 200 years old today and still beautiful, stirring, strong. I love hearing it and seeing Old Glory waving as it is played or sung.
- I wonder why so many of our countrymen are not aware of our history, are not sure who the Vice President of the United States is, and don’t know a think about a dastardly group called ISIS.
- I wonder why, when the truth is so plain in the Bible, people turn away from it, are not willing to follow God’s Word, and don’t think it important? It is our base upon which a successful life or a successful country is built and we disobey at our own peril.
- How did cool weather get here so quickly? One day, it’s summer, the next day, autumn has slipped in while I’m not watching. It’s nearly fifty-three degrees this morning.
- Why is it that things that seemed so important when I was young, no longer are, and things that were not important, now are very much so.
- The older I get, the more my family and friends matter to me.
- Another mystery story is demanding to be told; this one a follow-up to Moonlight Can Be Murder.
- A children’s story is stirring in my brain, having to do with the Battle of 1812 and Francis Scott Key.
- Can hardly wait to hold in my hands the three Darcy and Flora cozy mysteries and begin speaking to groups about the books.
- I don’t know why the Lord is so patient with us, His people, but I’m very glad He is.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (II Chronicles 7:14).
