Where is Everybody?

It seems that not very many people are reading my blog? I think that I know why. They're all reading Obama's Blog on MySpace.com!!

"How do I compete?" I ask myself. I think that I've come up with solution: Gossip and Dirty Photos!! Let me get to digging. Who knows what I may come up with.

Kidding aside (for now). It's been a strange day and I'll write more about it tomorrow. I witnessed a major shoplifting in Dollar General today. I went to Anna's voice/choir recital, which lasted 1.5 hours. I found out that a friend's son was arrested (on his 18th birthday) for kidnapping and robbery.

I think that I'll go to bed, sleep on it, and elaborate more tomorrow.

Over all, it's been a good day, God is GOOD, and He Loves ME!!!

Aloha Beth,

I've been reading, not just posting comments. I wanted you to know that I read all of your stuff too. I look forward to your tales that you alluded to here!

Beth,

Reading your blog is good and I always link from Monty's site. Both of you have a way of viewing life rather sacramentally and I find that so refreshing in today's modern world. Most people are too busy to even notice the hand of God in even the small things of their lives.

My daughter and her husband are creative types, both Christians, who always amaze me with the things they physically do that are of a sacramental nature. One of life's true delights is seeing them transmit that way of viewing life to their four small children.

Keep writing and know that there are some who are consistently reading and agreeing with you that God is GOOD and that the Mystery continues to reveal himself to us.

Blessings,

Friend,
I believe that God is at work in every aspect of my life. I look at it that way.

Somedays I wonder what He has in store for me that day, and I'm usually not disappointed.

When I finish ironing, I'm going to sit down and write about the shoplifting story.

It was one of those things that really threw me for a loop!

Thanks for reading my blog and I know Monty appreciates you reading his. We come from the same bloodline so I guess we got some of the same genes. Would you believe that I've never met Monty in person?!?!? He and my mom are 1st cousins but our paths have never crossed, as far as I can remember. We're about the same age (he may be a little younger).

Thanks!
Beth

Hey Beth,
I'm not sure how old you are, but I don't mind sharing, I'm 41. I will be 42 in November of this year.

It is strange that we have never met. Hopefully someday! Family is still family though!

You're just a young whipper-snapper! (grin) I'll be 46 the 20th of this month but don't feel a day over 35! Ha!

You're closer in age to my younger brother, Kevin. He'll be 43 in June.

Yes, family is family. My grandma Melvina loved family so much. She would have referred to you as "my dear baby brother's son."

Have a blessed Sabbath and may the Mystery speak through your lips the words that your congregation needs to hear.

"But . . ."

Today, as I've worshiped and communed with the Lord from my house due to inclement weather, I've been reminded of how many people I know who are hurting. A cousin of mine, Iva Stewart, in Oklahoma went to be with Jesus yesterday after a brief battle with cancer. Her family is hurting today. My cousin Cleo is battling cancer right now. She and her family are hurting. A man who attended our church was buried yesterday after a battle with cancer. His family is hurting today. My cousin Kayla is by the bedside of her mother who is preparing to make that transition to heaven. Kayla and her family are hurting today. Our friend Howard lost a nephew this week to a car wreck. He and his family are hurting. My friend Lynn is by the side of her father who is gradually being swallowed by dementia. She and her family are hurting. A friend of mine has had her heart broken. She's hurting and has questions. Many of my friends have lost children. They are hurting. ...

Life is Precious and God is Good!!

I can't believe that it's almost been a week since I've posted on my Blog. It has been an extremely busy week and I have lived in the fast lane of life, it seems. The only problem is that I'm being passed by everyone! (grin) Eddie, my husband, has been suffering with his left shoulder for years. The pain has seem to intensified the last several months so he got an appointment with a Sports Medicine doctor in Birmingham. Within a month of seeing the doctor that had Eddie scheduled for surgery, which happened yesterday. The day before surgery, Eddie got to thinking about the surgery and the risks that go along with any surgery that requires one being put under. He thought that if Thursday could be his last day on earth, he didn't want to spend it at work but rather, he wanted to spend it with his family. He called me and said that he'd be home at 9 a.m. so I quickly canceled some piano lessons and we took out for the day, as a family. Our first stop was at Ryan...

Light-bulb Moment . . .

Image
Today, I had a light bulb moment, which is surprising.  (The older I get the less frequent they become!)  I realized that I'm becoming like my late grandmother, Mary Melvina Stewart Matthews, and it was the first time that had dawned on me.  I know I'm a lot like my mom but had never really seen a lot of my grandmother in myself.  It's not a bad thing, but I had to warn Eddie who is just coming to terms with my becoming like my mother!  (grin) My grandmother, for those of you who knew her, was a saint!  There was not a person she did not like, and she had a true servant's heart.  She was one of the most unique people I've ever known and saw things in ways that most people didn't see them. What triggered my "moment" was the story about "Fred, my grandmother's  electronic clock.  "Fred" was an innovator of his time.  He was a simple looking, 2.5" cube that could be programmed to audibly give the time and date on the hour...
