the most perfect Painter

Today was a good day. Woke up and drove to see Wyatt play his first game in his second year of playing tackle football. I wish I had a better camera because I saw the most beautiful morning. The sky was pastel. The prettiest blues and pinks. Then tonight, tonight I saw this huge orange sun going down in the sky. Absolutely beautiful! God is the most perfect painter. Hey, I forgot to mention that as I was coming home, I had just entered Johnson County Missouri, and I saw a Stealth Bomber flying low in the sky getting ready to land. It looked like a manta ray swimming across the sky.

Our God is an awesome God. I sang this song as I was driving to Warsaw this morning. I sang it loud and horribly off key I'm pretty sure but I so loved singing to Him. I realized that this is a song that I could sing when I couldn't remember the words to other songs. When I was with the man who wrecked his motorcycle I didn't mention the name of Jesus. I don't want that to happen ever again. So I can always sing this song - hum this song at the very least when words won't come to me.

I took Scout to the dog park. She gets so bored being stuck here in this house. I need to do this more often for her health and for mine. I wasn't able to get around the track like I used to be able to do. Tonight I dug out the cane because my right leg, the muscles are just so tight and causing me so much pain. It's weird but the right side of the right leg and my big toe HURT. I guess I'm lucky that the pain moves around and doesn't happen all at once. Right now it is just that leg and my tailbone. I'm luckier than most.

So many people need healing. Mary, her neighbor, Christian, Michael, Lindsay and then there are the strangers that have asked for prayers. I just realized something. When I'm praying I'm not sad or overwhelmed but, just now, just thinking about everyone my heart, I start to get overwhelmed. Just as quickly as that feeling comes over me, and it does come over me, I realize that Jesus loves us. I don't have to keep praying and praying and praying but I do it for my comfort. God will answer the prayers as He sees fit. We don't need to despair or fear.
