  1. Good morning! It’s another hot day here. The timeframe for walking is narrow to fit it into the cooler/dimmer light around dawn or dusk. The problem with that is it hits right when I need to be fixing breakfast or dinner for Art. The old Catch 22 situation.

  7. Yes, it is Monday 😦 Someone cue the Mamas and Papas.

    But yay, our marine layer returned this morning. We have a wildfire burning in the northeast part of LA County, overnight winds were expected to make it worse; I haven’t checked the local news status of that yet.

    This should be a bit slower week for me, feels like we’ve been running for months keeping up with all the special events and news popping up in our extended region.

    Maybe now we can finally take a few breaths!

  8. We’ve been running the air filter here, first time in two years, and trying to remain “cool,” in more ways than one.

    The Healdsburg fires are a long way from here–15 miles?–but as the past has shown, that’s not nearly far enough. 😦

    Meanwhile, as posted on FB, this:

    When it came out, I read Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book “Infidel,” while flying around the country.

    It was an actual book, so I got a number of curious glances from other folks in the airport.

    It’s an extraordinary story, and well worth reading.

    I was touched recently, to read this brilliant intellectual had decided Jesus was the best answer of all.

    And then, an incredulous Richard Dawkins took on his long-time friend, trying to understand what happened to her brain. 🙂

    Today, I read this in World Magazine: https://wng.org/opinions/one-womans-simple-moving-testimony-1718479531

  11. Janice, I’m not a subscriber but was still able to read the article Michelle linked. It first displayed a message that I’m limited to a handful of articles as a non-subscriber, but when I scrolled down the article was there.

  12. Yes, the message about this isn’t fair (something like that) shows up all the time, just scroll below it

  13. I liked this sentence:

    ~ A changed life is its own apologetic, its own witness to a watching world. ~

    Weren’t we talking recently about whether the world watches us?

  14. Janice, thanks so much for that link. I’ve bookmarked it to read when I get home. Husband and I have been studying more about the different aspects of dispensationalism with the goal of intentionally removing it and it’s influence from our personal views of theology.

  15. Oh, sorry about that on the link. Send me a message and I’ll send the article back if you’re interested.

    Anyone have a good zucchini recipe? Four little ones turned into four large ones overnight . . . it’s Zucchini frittata for dinner, but I’ve got plenty for several dishes! LOL
