Delivery can be risky business in the dark as LP found out yesterday. I will spare the details except for the driver's side door gives us just enough room to scoot in and out. Thanks be! We are under your eye God. The client was gracious enough to pay for a truck to get her out. He even took pictures. That's a great guy right there with a shitty landlord.
I talk to Mamye daily, just like before. She sounds exhausted but okay. Steve's family have come together with her to honor him and his life. My service will be similar to his with a visitation and cremains down where the Carter family ancestors live. Lauren will want some to scatter over our lives here on the farm. I'm not dying ( as far as I know ) but the plans are made. KK has my back.
I know all about when the evil started in the Garden of Eden and whatnot. That damn snake! Anywho, there went sin as a go to. People's opinions about what is a sin are varied depending on religious beliefs. In SS last week we heard six out of the ten. No adultery. Honor your parents. Do not lie. Anybody could tell when I'm lying so I don't have to worry about that one. I just tell the truth like it is in my world. I do not judge yours. Jesus loved everybody and their mama'n'them and cured the sickness away in miraculous ways.
Daddy was raised in the SBC and Mom was a legacy DFUMC. The church history is amazing and my mom's family was a huge part of it. My great grandmother Ethe; Inez took her canaries on Easter at sunrise. At least that's what Mama told me. Daddy was always in the choir when we were kids and I sat with Mom while the boys slept through it all. Many UMC congregations have been torn apart over the issues of gay marriage and gay clergy. Ours was one of them. Me and all the other lifers were pretty bummed out, to say the least. The night of the vote the sanctuary was packed to the gills and I thought to myself where are you folks in the life of this church? There was serious tension in the room and in the end, the vote to leave did not pass. There was a split and a lot of folks went there.
I am a liberal conservative if that makes sense at all. Very conservative in a lot of ways, but not when it comes to human rights. My faith in God tells me that being mean and a war monger is not the ultimate plan. Oh yeah, there was a lot of bad stuff in the OT but the good news came later after the prophets foretold it. Can you tell I'm cruising toward Lent?
My kinda' sorta' dog is on the porch eating. I had to fill the pan back up because the stray Siamese looking boyfriend of Rosie is eating it. I actually saw him last night and he is gorgeous. Lives under the house and eats mice I reckon. I have never had to go looking for a pet because they always just show up. If you feed them they will come.
Y'all take it easy. Give it to God ^j^
