A Personal Weather Report

I am musing about...

My "accu" or I should say my "acc-me" weather report

What a funny, mixed up day!

Cloudy. Sunny. Sunny with clouds.

Cloudy with rain.

Raining while shining.

Do you ever have days like that in your own inner life?

Happy. Sad. Sad but joyful. Happy but crying.

Oh the fun of emotions. Changing. Down on its way up. Up on its way down.

Effected by news and events and sleep and diet and, yes....weather.

Our God. The same. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Always there. Always caring.

Through rain or shine; His peace and presence and powerful grace are constant.

On that we can rely:)

He is the source of an inner peace that can help control our emotional barometer.

So rain on world! It is all okay because my God reigns on! By God's grace, I will shine on because His Son is always shining inside of me!

Some days I may shade it, not allow it to shine out in it's full glory. I let "me" get in the way.

Actually, more likely...such is the case at some point of time, most every day.

But what would the "accuweather" say about me?

Am I partly sunny? Partly cloudy? Or sunny with a chance or rain?

Lord, be my weathervane. May it point up to you and thus be steady. Not so affected by the winds of the times and the tell-tell ticks of the culture clock!

Jesus, you are my constant, my forever friend. A "fair weather friend" you are not. You are with me through life's storms and life's sunshine. You are the most understanding "me"-teorologists ever. You understand the heat waves and the times of high pressure. So, help me get me out of the way. For with you in my heart the forecast can always be full of the Son!

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

There once was a fly....

I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

He loved people, There is no doubt He liked to visit Liked to find things out Not in a gossipy sort of way That was not Jim's kind of way, He simply cared Took an interest you see, He just enjoyed knowing About you and me, He loved his Jesus With all his heart He leaned on him greatly He did from the start, After he surrendered, Back in 78, From that time on He served love from his plate, He enjoyed little kids Had a heart for the old, He loved to sing, Had a faith that was bold, Took care of his mom With kindness and care, Took her for rides, They were quite a pair, They gardened together, Made apple sauce, As boys worked on their farm, He was a fun, friendly boss, He was a farmer Through and through, He embraced all the things That grain farmers do, Then there was that day Five years ago, When things changed forever An acci...
