Sunday

 

                            Day is dying in the west.  Heaven is touching earth with rest. 

A day of rest and I did a whole lot of that.  It was a good night of sleep.  Then breakfast and then some chair sitting falling asleep again with an oops when I woke up.  It was time to head on to church.  

Heidi and I did an early hello to a lot of folks and then it was 11 AM. We got cut off for church to start!!!!  It was Health and Healing Sunday Service which I just love.  The choir anthem words were just the best with 


If You Search with All Your Heart.  by Courtney

When you seek Me, you shall find Me if you search with all your heart.                                                      For I know the plans I have for you: plans of welfare, not of evil.                                                              For I know the plans I have for you: plans of hope and a future.                                                                     I will bring you out of bondage to the land I have prepared.                                                                          I will bring you out of bondage, I will bring you home to Me. 

It's easy for me to say that what I miss most about not being a choir member is singing the words.

The altar rail was filled with people asking for prayer and oil with four clergy in attendance.  

And once again there were few cars in the parking lot when we left. In two weeks, it is Creation Care Sunday, and the children are involved in the service.  There is a litany where the children and adults will add visuals as it is being read.

                   The litany talks about the sun, moon and stars.  The stars are ready for the children.                                                                           We're working on the fire part.  

We stopped in Nora thinking that Goodwill would be open again and the electricity still has not been restored.  Indianapolis has many trees and Helene's winds have brought darkness to many places.  

The afternoon was slow with the Colts beating Pittsburg.  I think Kansas City came through and the night game should also be a good one.  

        It's the end of the day on Lake Madora.  That little spot in the middle of the picture is a Loon. 

So, I really was able to make this a day of rest.  The week will be full.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
