Going down to the 40's tonight... what a perfect time it would be to put on some fall clothes
and go out to a corn maze, or a hay ride...
Oooo, or a carriage ride around downtown Wilmington...
Well, one can dream...

Can these people really not see,
that the more we have taken God out of the daily lives,
the more crime has gone up,
the more our prisons have filled up?
The answer to crime is not more law,
it is more God. - C.Lynn

Two great and important quotes:

I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength
with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose. - J.F. Kennedy

If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under. - Ronald Reagan

I keep these two quotes on my refrigerator for every visitor to my home to see.

fall - autumn - fall
the word autumn elicits thoughts of beautiful colors, in layers, on the trees,
in the distance, across the mountains, a beautiful tapestry of color

fall elicits thoughts of leaves floating through air, piles on the ground,
children kicking through them, the lovely rustling sound they make

Both elicit thoughts of the Creator,
the beauty of His creation.

"Money can't buy happiness"
Is that something that is just said...
supposed to make people feel better, that they don't have it?
I can say that there were definitely times in my life when money did buy happiness.

I think someone once said...
'I was definitely happier with it, than without it.'

Today... too dang hot....

these last two days...
unhappy dreams
a vague sense of unease
(and an inability to apply myself to purpose)
I have no peace about me these last 2 days...
Why?
(and I can't seem to find it)
I'm not unpeaceful, just uneasy... just can't find that usual place of peace
my days have just started off with a weird sense... of what? Unease is the only way to describe it... a sense of a lack of direction to propel me through my day

(note: so my readers don't think I'm just going off my rocker... I am dealing with a housing situation... needing to move but not knowing what action to take... sensing God's leading and yet feeling unsure. Every time I go to pick up the phone to make a call, I don't. I hesitate. and when I start my day, I don't know where to begin, what avenue should be pursued... and then I just waste the day... doing nothing... gaining no ground, and having no peace.)

God gave me all my lizards (I have 3 today... where have they been all summer?) but it is too hot to sit outside and find my peace that I usually find there.

Wow, it's October 1st. 

My wimpy Wednesday...
inspired by Frank...

I had things to do today... I did not do them... this pretty much visualizes my current life :-/
I feel like I have hit a stone wall(not that kind of stone wall... I don't do that)... a bureaucratic one (not a physical one... well maybe that too since I am limited physically)
I want to be 'one who has it made' but I do not want to be a dog   (maybe a cat )
I do not like Subways (for riding)... only the kind you can get delicious hero sandwiches at    Hm, that would be good for dinner....
Life has not been all bad for me either... but the good was great, and I want it back. 

Hope you enjoy this Frank.
