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.

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...
