As Bill headed off to bed last night he asked me what time Nadine and I planned to leave for Sew Expo on Friday. I told him we need to leave from our meeting spot at eight because I have a 9:30 class. Then he told me about the snow predicted for today and icy roads, etc. That was just what I wanted to hear…..NOT. Thankfully we got no snow here at home today but some of the folks at rehearsal tonight said they had some. I don’t think there was any in the areas we’ll be traveling in and any that might have fallen should have melted this afternoon. Now all we have to worry about is black ice on the roads.
I’m tired tonight and want to get to bed at a decent hour. I got up about six this morning. About seven the phone rang and some guy rattled off in French. I told him I didn’t speak French but he kept on talking so I hung up. I traced the call to an unpublished land line in Quebec, Canada. It was interesting because I was in the middle of a sale with a gal who lives in France. I told her I could have used her here this morning to answer the phone.
The big news of the day is that I bit the bullet and rejoined Weight Watchers online with my friend Peg in Colorado. After three weeks they don’t want you to lose more than 2 pounds a week. I’ve lost 7.2 pounds in 10 days so I can lose as much as possible in the next eleven days before they start telling me to “eat more.” I don’t know if I even ate all my available points today because we have some things here that don’t have calorie labels so it is guesswork on those.
I met Debi at 6:15 and got her started on one of the ribbed hats. We knit for 45 minutes before everyone gathered to rehearse. Rehearsal went – well, I felt off kilter all night. Things just didn’t seem to gel. Hopefully that won’t be the case on Sunday morning. Now I’m going to hit the sack and try to get well rested for the long day tomorrow.
Right from the beginning God’s love has reached, and from the beginning man has refused to understand. But love went on reaching, offering itself. Love offered the eternal…we wanted the immediate. Love offered deep joy…we wanted thrills. Love offered freedom…we wanted license. Love offered communion with God Himself…we wanted to worship at the shrine of our own minds. Love offered peace…we wanted approval for our wars. Even yet, love went on reaching. And still today, after two thousand years, patiently, lovingly, Christ is reaching out to us today. Right through the chaos of our world, through the confusion of our minds. He is reaching…longing to share with us…the very being of God. His love still is longing, His love still is reaching, right past the shackles of my mind. And the Word of the Father became Mary’s little Son. And His love reached all the way to where I was. - Gloria Gaither
