Day 288: A Flag to Follow. And a Fishtail.



My daughter braided my hair last night. In a "fishtail".

Me like!
Speaking of like, below is my hymn of the day. We sang it in church this morning.
Love, not just like! Where has this hymn been all my life? But good timing, as our country is currently in a political quagmire.
A Flag to Follow

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:"

divider

    I sought a flag to follow
    A cause for which to stand,
    I sought a valiant leader
    Who could my love command;
    I sought a stirring challenge,
    Some noble work to try,
    To give my life fulfillment,
    My dreams to satisfy.
      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
    I sought a ringing answer
    For all my doubts inside
    A torch of truth uplifted
    My searching steps to guide;
    I sought a word of wisdom,
    A true authority.
    I sought to know life's purpose,
    To solve its mystery.

      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
    I sought for satisfaction
    For yearning deep within,
    I sought for full deliv'rance
    From chains of guilt and sin;
    I sought for peace and pardon,
    For freedom from my fears,
    I sought a hope to cling to
    Beyond these passing years.

      Chorus
      I found them all in Jesus,
      The Life, the Truth, the Way;
      Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
      And follow Him today.
On my way to the gym.My son returns from Reno today.

Happy Sunday!

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...
