I was getting some Cool Whip for my fruit this morning when I realized Bill didn’t toss the old yucky cottage cheese.
So I made a second trip down the driveway before the garbage truck arrived. Actually, we couldn’t remember if they pickup on Labor Day or not, but the guy showed up about 10:30.
I spent the afternoon working on a project that should have taken no more than an hour. How annoying! And I came close to tossing it after all that since it wasn’t “perfect.” I managed to find my bejeweler and crystals today and thought about putting a crystal on Reign’s door hanger. However, I’ve yet to put a crystal on anything so I didn’t want to take a chance and mess it up since I had already stitched it out twice.

I cut out some fleece for a new hat project I bought but decided to wait until tomorrow to work on it. It was going on 6:30 by then so I figured I had had enough aggravation for the day and didn’t need to tempt fate for any more. So I went and fixed myself a big spinach salad with crab and shrimp.
“Sense and Sensibility” was quite good last night. I kept looking at one particular actor and thinking “I know who this is,” but I couldn’t come up with his name. When the credits rolled at the end, I realized it was Hugh Laurie who plays “House” on TV.
I talked with Robin tonight. She has sold her condo which is good since she has already moved into the retirement community. She told me I need to come see her place. I reminded her that I saw it when I took her to dinner a few weeks ago. I could tell that night that her mind wasn’t as sharp as before, but this is more evidence of that. It is hard to watch people you love go downhill, as it was with Clint. She will turn 86 the end of September.
I also talked with my prayer sister Sonya. I’ve missed her the last several times I called. Her birthday is September 25 so I’m cogitating on something to do for that event.
All my movies are gone so I’ll have to find something else to entertain me tonight until bedtime.
All our lives we've been taught that God is a loving God. And He is. But He does lose his patience. He does get angry… especially when we refuse to respond when He calls us again and again and again. But He doesn't turn His back on us. He keeps on prodding us, telling us what He wants us to do. Some of us, however, are so stubborn, it takes a "big stick smacking us between the eyes" to get our attention!
Is God gently prodding you right now? How are you responding? Are you holding out, convinced that God will change His mind about what He wants you to do if you just avoid it long enough?
"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;..." Psalm 30:5a NIV
