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 country is facing

Little did he know of the vast beauty, opportunities and blessings the Lord has bestowed upon that  country

Little did he know of the power of prayer and of the mighty power of  the Creator God to whom we pray

Little did he know of the power, grace, love and care that the Creator has for all creation, including him.

LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THE ONE WHO CREATED HIM HAS ALL THINGS IN HIS CONTROL!!!.

But we do!

And how thankful we are that we can rest in this Truth with the amount of trust with which that fly just sat there, oblivious that he was literally sitting on top of history...in the making.

So, as history unfolds around us....

Let's rest in confidence on the One who has all things in His hands and on His shoulders! The Word says that the "the government shall be upon his shoulder" (from Isaiah 9:6). He can lift up a government and bring it down. He carries the future as one who carries a burden upon his shoulders. He is burdened for us all. And offers true peace when He says...

"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28

 Yes. We can rest atop our Creator God, confidently and assuredly, even as that fly from Salt Lake City who opted to rest confidently and unabashedly last night, upon the Vice President's head:) 

This Truth may "fly in the face" of some. But it is definitely worth sharing and buzzing about!!

    Nice article, Kathy, but the debate was in Salt Lake City.

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at                                                                                                           the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself.   There were relatively few people o

What I Saw Today

 I am musing...                                                                                                            ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station.  It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath  and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

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
