  1. Good morning, all. Beautiful pre dawn sky with the sliver of moon and shadowed moon close to Venus and comet.

    How are you this morning, DJ? Continuing prayer for you.

  2. A full house already today!
    Happy Wandering, Y’all.

    Jesus is good today to keep peace when I was being baited. Gorra love the Lord as He restrains fleshly tendencies.

    This caregiving sure is a roller coaster ride. God is growing all those good things in me through the labor of love.

    Art and I had to miss a fall tax conference in the mountains, and I had to cancel plans with my friend to stay a few nights at a mountain lake house. We make plans and God laughs! I may have burned bridges with friend. Not sure how it will all shake out. It is all in God’s good hands. I think for whatever reason, He wants me to be Stay-At-Home Queen! Maybe I will get a crown in heaven👩‍🍳

  4. I was afraid to post earlier not sure if that was Idaho Mike or who knows who?

    I got another treasure this week. It is a letter from my aide Wendy in PNG. She has probably never written a letter. She said that she misses me and all the work I did to show the Lord to others. Then she gave me sweet messages from her children who are still grateful for me and praying for me.

  5. Such bad doggies!

    So glad to hear you are better, dj!

    Hang in there, NJ, bannisters are worth the wait!

    Has anyone heard mention that tomorrow has been labeled “A Day of Rage” by terrorists? All the words used by terrorists to make people fearful 😳 May the good Lord protect and preserve and bring many more into faith in Jesus as the contrasts become more clear between belief systems.

  6. I made it in to work today for a couple of hours – 130 emails plus phone messages to go through. Phew. Seems nobody checked anything while I was gone!!!😳

    NJ! Yay for safety (and prettiness)!!

    Jo, that is so very nice. I’m glad Wendy was able to do that.

    Janice, good for you! I’m great with my sister and love her dearly but after 3 days with her I really have to bite my lip ALOT.

    From NBC:

    ~ Law enforcement steps up patrols of Jewish houses of worship, businesses as calls for attacks in the U.S. intensify online

    Former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal recently called for Friday to be a global day of “anger” in support of the recent Hamas attack on Israel. ~

    That’s such a nice encouragement Jo @1:53 – I’m sure you’re missed and you also miss them.

    And yay for banisters!

    Glad you’re feeling better, kare, but sorry for the mass of emails and other work awaiting you. I kind of know the feeling, am trying to track down a story that no one will or can (legally) talk about. Those are always fun.

  9. See that’s why I’m still breathing! No one’s saying anything (but most also don’t know anything either, now I’ve become “the source”). lol

She is a strange dog. -dj

  10. Kathaleena – (re: your comment at the end of yesterday’s prayer thread) – Yes, indeed, Boy is in a tricky time of life.

    Although not a medical professional, I am pretty sure that his being on the cusp of entering puberty has a lot to do with what is going on with him mentally and emotionally. But of course, there are other factors in his life as well.

    Have I mentioned before that he was assessed as being right on the borderline of autism, but without going over the line? I would assume that that has something to do with how he is reacting, too. And the way his father has been all these years has to have had an adverse effect on him.

    Although this is a tough thing we are going through (I haven’t told the half of it here), I am hoping that his getting some help and dealing with things now will head off any worse problems that could have come up later. And of course, I am praying for his salvation, and hoping that that happens sooner rather than later.
