Can u tell me where the Word installer is?? I really need it so i can edit my story.

Hi David:

Just a few things this time:

1. Yard: There is a little grass to be cut. Ellen and I mowed last night – here and at the duplex. Then the Snapper didn’t want to start up…I had just added more gas (may be water in it?), let it sit…tried it, but nothing. I needed to shift to work on the birds. So, there are small patches along the strip and the front of both Danny and George’s still needs to be mowed. I am sorry about this…I checked the spark plug and went out again for one last try after starting the bird tasks – still didn’t want to start….if it starts right up for you, then great, if not, we’ll use the big mower next week, when the ground isn’t so soft in these areas.

2. Birds: All tray liners were changed last night and I gave the birds water. Fruit is cut.

3. Pookie Says: Please remember to feed me! Fresh water and a top off of food each morning (I usually do it right after I feed the birds so I remember myself). Litter box scooped out into the plastic bags, then trashed.

Extras: Bed sheets were washed Tuesday night…there are a few hamburgers in the freezer for you…milk and coffee  in the cupboards.

Good luck with the flights this weekend…hope you have great weather and accomplish all that you want to.

Today’s Reminder:

Hard work can be terrific, and my activities can be highly rewarding. But I am striving for some balance. Today I will look at how I spend my time, and set some of that time aside to relax.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” – Bertrand Russell

John Cox gave me a book to borrow: The Essentials of Christian Living/The Life Model: Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You

I’d like to share with you a passage that came under the subtitle:
The Power of Joy

A Brief Summary

Life brings each of us inescapable traumas that block maturity. God’s redemptive activity comes to us in two ways. He brings healing to our traumas, and adopts us into His family. Both ways boost us through our blocks to maturity, along the way to wholeness. With these boosts, we will be able to live from the hearts He gave us, our true identities will emerge, and our relationships with family and community will be characterized by joy.

Sometimes it is necessary to promote stronger relationships in a family and community before trauma recovery can proceed, and sometimes trauma recovery needs to take place before strong relationships can be established. Sometimes there needs to be more maturity before trauma recovery work can be effective, but other times we find that some trauma resolution needs to be achieved before maturity can get unstuck. There is no formula. When something is going wrong, assess maturity, trauma recovery, dividedness, family and community support, and spiritual vitality – and pray that the Lord will provide redemption wherever a deficit is found.

This passage spoke to me and my own personal traumas and while I would like to share more with you about that…right now, I just want to have the words live in me…and, share them with you.
