I am musing about


How my phone went berserk today and I almost did too:)


My phone went berserk! Literally.

It did not help that this was one of several frustrating technological debacles from the last couple weeks. It seemed it was one thing after another. It was almost funny the other night, for example, when I went to open up my laptop to get on a Zoom meeting and the content on the windows screen was...upside down!! What? Why of course:)) (a reboot helped that situation). Anyway back to my phone.

It was buzzing at me, would not respond to touch, was robotic-ally talking (incessantly) and flashing green squares around the various icons. It almost drove me crazy. Both by what it was doing as well as what it was not doing.

I could hardly deal with it's lack of functionality, but it's behavior on top of that....let's just say, it was annoying..berserkingly so!

So, of course.... I took it to the Phone Dr. (at the Verizon Store).

The first gal, was not quite sure what to do. Then her coworker took it in her hand. "I know what is going on" she said. With a click, a swipe, another click or two and maybe another swipe...she handed it back to me. Ready to go. Fixed. Back into a functional state.

I looked at her and with great appreciation said "Thank you. Bless your heart!"

I walked out to the car with a happy bounce to my step.

As I drove away I thought about what just happened.

Is your life driving you crazy? Do you feel like you are maybe a little berserk?

Take it to the Life Dr.. Our God knows what is going on. He will touch you as you trust Him and place your life in His hands. He can fix it. And bring you back your joy!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...

The Pacemaker of my Heart

  I am musing about.... The Pacemaker. My pacemaker. So I got one. Last Wednesday. Unexpectedly. At the age of 64! I started noticing that I was light headed with standing. Kept an eye on it. My Physician's Assistant son in law checked my B/P. It was great. Standing B/P-was great. Pulse...was low. Quite low. Mmmm.... Kept watching. Labs (thankfully normal). Eventual ER visit. EKG. Found out I had a 2nd degree heart block! (an electrical cardiac issue where-by the electrical impulse system is blocked for some reason, causing a problem with the stimulus for a beat not communicating correctly to the actual heart muscle which is responsible for the contraction) What? When? How? Within 48 hours of discovering this...I have a new friend. A pacemaker inserted for life. To assure that my heart does not get too low relative to this "electrical conduction" problem. "One of those things". Well, I am still processing all of this. Just seems weird. But I am thankful. Thankfu...
