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!

A story of a story of The Story

   Updated:  Jul 19, 2023 So I have a story. A sweet story. It has to do with my Dad. I love my Dad. He is caring and helpful. He is intelligent and thoughtful. He loves God. He loves his family. And, he wrote a book. A children's book. He called it Ben and Kit. Let's back up a bit. For years, our folks would head down to Florida for the winter. They enjoyed their time there. It gave them a chance to pursue some interests. And to just relax. My mom is a painter. I wrote a blog about her awhile back. You may recall of the winter that she was given an opportunity to paint a mural on the wall of a lanai for a lady that she met down there. She painted a lovely beach scene and had so much fun doing it. She did a great job! Our Dad was proud of her. He shared of how Mom was enjoying this creative venture. We all were happy for her. But I felt a little bad for Dad, who was left alone somewhat while mom was away painting. After all, that was not their norm, for they usu...

Free to Destruct or Thrive

  On this Veteran's Day, I am musing about how we are... FREE! Free.... to destruct or thrive!  0h THANK YOU Heavenly Father for the free nation that is ours! THANK YOU to our service men and women of today and to all those who willingly fought and unselfishly gave...so that we could be free. Free to let our voice by heard, to worship as we please, to vote our conscience! Are these freedoms being challenged? Yes! Is free speech being censored? Yes! Oh there are concerns...ample concerns! So, a disclaimer of sorts. Is what I am about to relate my own humble, personal opinion?  Yes, it is. I am basing it on God's Word which is where I obtain my world view. Which is where I find Truth. Dear readers, I surmise that most of you agree with me, but if you do not, that is your right. We both have rights to express our opinions.And that is because we live in a country that allows us this privilege! And for that, I am thankful! Aren't you? So, getting back to my message. Yes, there...

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...
