We are satisfied by our decent little life. We are pleased with our good habits; we take them for virtues. We are pleased with our little efforts; we take them for progress. We are proud of our activities; they make us think we are giving ourselves. We are impressed by our influence; we imagine that it will transform lives. We are are proud of what we give, though it hides what we withhold -- Michel Quoist
Navigating a life for Christ
I stumble ALOT.
My life verse is Psalms 37:23-24 "If the Lord delights in a man's way, He makes his steps firm. Though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
It helps to know God can use fools like me.

Some things are worst than getting wet...
Yep, it's still raining and they are forecasting rain through the rest of the week. So normally I just rush through the rain and spend my time indoors reading, sewing, emailing. But now I have been building up my strength riding my bicycle to Windmill house and back and I don't want to lose any ground in my campaign to fitness. It is 2.2 miles one way and it was getting easier every time I did it. But I am not so zealous that I want to ride in the pouring rain, but I do want to ride! I am not trying to lose weight, but am exercising to reduce stress, sleep well and feel happier. I also am losing the lovely cottage-cheese cellulite on my nether regions. At my age, (and I plan to start using that phrase - ALOT!) (Jonny says that 51 is the new 40) losing cellulite off of any part of the body is a great achievement! So if it keeps raining I am going to be irritable, sleep deprived and doughy. Not really a good missionary combination - but really good for a legalistic, unbending, religious attitude. Yep, pray for a little break in the rain.
