Thursday, March 16, 2023 Sunny Windy High Clouds Cool 64 Degrees 3:30 p.m.

A windy but lovely day again. So nice to see the sun shining. It is cool outside as the winds adds the chill. We do appreciate the sunshine as tomorrow brings the rain again, and cooler temperatures. Rain all of tomorrow then Saturday is to be much cooler but dry. Crazy weather everywhere.

This morning bible study was held here. We are doing “The Truth Project” and it is very interesting. Charles is a good leader and tells us a bit about the film we are about to see prior to seeing it. That helps prepare us in the subject matter and also for questions we might have afterwards. All so good. In case anyone is interested, I think there might be a book version that can be bought from Focus on the Family website. I know that the study guide and Travel Logue as well as the DVDs can be purchased there.,

We are having mail problems here, as in all of Oak Ridge. We haven’t had mail for three days now, but packages have been delivered. I just saw the mailman stop at out mailboxes but am not sure that he left mail or just a package for someone. Everyone is having a fit. They say it is because they are short handed but when people apply they either don’t get back to them or they want them to work many hours over time, can’t say no when asked to work overtime and have to be on call at all times. The rumor has it that Amazon pays them well to deliver their packages so that is the priority and regular mail is secondary. Tina is waiting on the electric bill to arrive and it will be late if it doesn’t get here by Saturday. I know others have complained to no avail. Even one of the senators went in there and voiced his complaint for himself and all those that he represents. I guess that didn’t go well. I have to call and see where are mail is. Not getting your statements on time can cause major problems.

The red headed woodpecker is out there enjoying a meal. He is a young one and not full grown. So pretty and active. The finches are also out there eating and flying around . A very active afternoon at the Bird Diner.

Quote of the day: “The beautiful words of Ecclesiastes: teach us there is “a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away. “There are occasions in life when we must hang on-grip the hand of God tight and struggle fiercely to hold on to His promises. And then at the end of our lives, there is a time to let go of the struggles and simply fall into those everlasting arms of the Father.” My calendar

I wonder what was going on in the life of whoever wrote the above calendar entry. I somehow think the author was having a struggle himself (herself).

Have a great rest of your Thursday. Make it a calm, pleasurable, peaceful, profitable, promising and fun day.

Blessings
