Eleventh Hour Ramblings...

Greetings in the name of all those sleep-deprived folks out there! I woke up to answer the call of nature and found myself drawn into the digital world. It may take me a few minutes to extricate myself from the hard-drive;and I must confess that it feels good to have the keyboard under my thumbs again. I am thinking the Lord may have to deliver me from my addiction;but I am hoping that He waits until He returns. I am enjoying my vice too much to give it up. I feel like my two year-old daughter when she says to her older brother:"Mine!" I suppose this shows you my present level of maturity. I take the fifth!

I have been looking around at God's creation today and have noticed how nature does a slammin' job of using light to frame a picture. I am no photographer;but I am sure I would have had a neat picture of the top of a tree this afternoon. The light shone through the leaves in such a way that there were two different shades of green. I was left there lying in the grass(which was brave considering my daughter was nearby at the time. She has a habit of dive-bombing bodies at rest...)and thinking: "Wow,God! Thanks for the sunshine. Love that seratonin,for sure! "
The leaves also made me think of the hand of God in a way...in the sense that everything He touches is made beautiful.

I am presently looking at the time and reality is bringing me back to the granite fact that I have to work at 7:00 tomorrow morning. True, it is only about 15 minutes away from my house;but there are logistics to consider. Those logistics have a combined number of 4 legs,two mouths to feed(if awake enough at that hour to take nourishment...),and two different personalities to deal with in their waking-up journey...

In the light of reality,I must bid the digital world a reluctant adieu...Thanks for joining me in the land of Lynne. I pray I will be able to pass on to you the wonder and the joy I see around me every day. I did warn you that I am a bit of a character;and you will see that evidenced in some of my musings. Hang out and enjoy the journey that is life.

Have a cup o'joy...
Lynne

The Morning Adventure...

This is a new adventure for me,and I am hoping to make it an adventure for you as well. It is morning again, and a new day presents itself to me like a smorgasbord. This morning is going to get busy as soon as I tear myself away from the computer and actually start doing what I should be doing. Those duties include getting my kids up,feeding them breakfast,getting them ready for school,and making sure there are no additional life forms in my kitchen sink. It sounds mundane,I know...However,the sacred is often found right along with the mundane;and I intend to search it out today with all of my being. I am reminded of the parables of Jesus when they talked about Jesus turning water into wine,the analogy of Jesus being the bread of life, and others. I am hoping and praying that the Lord gives me fresh insight and joyous ramblings to share with you every day(Lord willing...hang in there when I skip a day because I have to attend to the rest of my life...).

Have a cup o'joy,folks!
Lynne
