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!

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...

A Dream

I am musing.... about a famous dream. Oh this world we live in. How quickly we turned a corner. (albeit, one we have turned before). After being inundated day after day with news and talk of Covid...our country and the news is now caught up with destruction, riots and unrest. A black man was killed by a merciless cop. And anarchy was thrown into our country's pot...stirred by racial tension, unrest, anger and lack of constraint. Wrong was committed. Yes, once again. Our black fellow citizens come from, as they say in the adoption world...very "hard places." Consider their roots, their legacy of slavery and oppression. Our country was built in a large part on the shoulders of black slaves. While the white population was able to take advantage of the great American dream...to enter the race for equity and business, to establish venture capital or join the quest west for land, gold and fortune, the black populace remained oppressed, uneducated and unabl...
