On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

imagine my horror

Coming home from work and listening to the Bible Answer Man talk of how our body will be reunited with our soul and he also talked of how we will know everyone . . . I hadn't thought of that. How does a person like me,  who kind of likes their computer more than people, how will we be there? And THIS body? I'm a mess. And, I'm not nearly as pretty as I'd like to be. I don't want to look like this in heaven. Seriously! I'd better straighten up. Lose a hundred pounds and pay more attention to this body God gave me.

I wonder why he gives some people really pretty faces and others, well, less than pretty faces?

Also, I am way too grouchy. I don't like the thoughts that rattle around in my head. I wouldn't like this person if I knew me.

Driving home from work and I have one of those 'a hah' moments.

Talk about the Holy Spirit hitting me in the forehead.

Is 52 too late to change?

Let's see.

I can't do it on my own. I haven't been able to do it this entire lifetime. IF I change. You can be assured that it is God's work.

Please God, show your work in me.

I love you.
