there 'used to be' a writer that lived here.
but now the lawn is needing mowing, the paint is peeling from around the windows
and there are too many newspapers piled in the drive.
a short trip away has become an extended absence
of course there is work going on
some exterior and physical, some interior and personal.
no big deal, just the sorts of things that I don't write about
and that you would not find interesting.
I will be back, always have found my way back here
but I am occupied elsewhere.

thoughts for today
So that we may no longer be children,
tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about
by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning,
by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up
in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
from whom the whole body, joined and
held together by every joint with which it is equipped,
when each part is working properly,
makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Eph 4:14-16 ESV

Learning so much!
Thank God that i remain young enough to learn.
in the past few months I have learned so much about myself and others.
No BIG BANG revelations have hit me ( like the old helicopter dream)
but plenty of simple MOMENTARY eye openings that make me glad I am alive and not in a stupor.
1. The discipline of listening: and to really hear what is being communicated. So important
2. The value of my time, which if invested wisely produces eternal returns.
balancing that thought is that my 'young man' part of my person needs to have his time too, and the value of that is no less. In short, I am finding a desire to balance.
3. Missing an elder to watch over me, I have desire to spend time with my mom's siblings, and to see in them, the refection of their sister, my mom. My eyes are seeing in a new way.
4. the joy AND responsibility of freedom. I am not free for no reason, no free person is! to have great liberty means we must use it for a good cause. God help me here.

Turning a calendar page ( almost )
when the going gets tough, the tough go visiting.... relatives
but they will toss me out after a day or two and I will be back to Big Bear
and the VERY cold temps and snow on the ground. No idea what I will do for the week in between holidays
but I will visit the tree where mom and dad's ashes are buried, and I will drink a bit of eggnog
i will pray and read the Christmas story, I will give thanks for mt friends and family and a very good year.
