I use the dictionary when I can. I used a good word today, and I looked up the spelling in the dictionary. It didn’t take long. I would rather be sure of the spelling. I know plenty of words, but some I haven’t been using. They are longer. Smile.

Walking Again
I went walking again today. It takes time to walk 14 times around the place where we go. Our friends had already been walking some. It took time to go 14 times, and I walked solo at one point. She seemed tired from walking before, and with trying to walk with me too. She did double what I did. We both walked a mile.
Well, tomorrow is another day and we will walk again. We ate lunch at home, and spent some time watching an interesting movie. We are getting ready to wind down for the night. I will read some, and Ed is doing some paper work. Isaac will go on to sleep, because he gets up early tomorrow morning.
It works to go to bed early, and get up early, but if you miss the timing, it is harder to go on and rise early. We try to be quieter so Isaac can sleep. The pets are waring at times. We like them, but they are so full of energy.

We Walk Today
We walk today, but I am wondering if this can really happen. With repairing the fence, the guys may want to just finish what they have started so the pets can go out without danger of getting in the road. We will see.

Rambunctious
The puppies can’t be trusted yet, when it comes to wanting out of their pens. They want to be rambunctious, and go where they want to be. Today was a good example of their rambunctious attitude.
They got in the yard, found a place to go to the front yard, and there they went, running down the street. They were out of the backyard, and into the street after they darted down the hill. Our first dog went solo, and came back to get Bandit.
Well, then the two, left the yard, and ran fast down the street. I told Ed, and Isaac came looking for his beloved pets. Ed came in the truck, and when they gathered the puppies, they gave them a, ride back home.
They are in their places where they sleep, and rest. No more outside grazing until the fence is repaired, and the place where they went out is no, longer a, danger of leaving the property. Bo was the one who was leading this adventure. Bandit never thinks like Bo, but he loves to have fun with him. They are getting older. They aren’t that big to handle, but Bo is always the one who leads them away to explore. You should have seen them literally running down our hill in the front yard. They were in the street in minutes, and this is a busier road. Cars were letting the puppies go, and waiting. Everyone knew what was happening………..AGAIN!

Walk It Off
We have another walk today. Last time we walked a mile. I suppose we will walk another mile today. It takes 14 laps to make a mile, so we go around that many times. Then Ed has to walk, so he will go his mile. He has more energy than I do. I rest, and then I walk a few more times. Smile. It takes time to weigh. We know what we weigh, and it is on the older kind of scale. So the weight is moving, and we know for sure.
I sang songs on the last rounds that I made after we stopped walking a mile. I was bored sitting there watching Ed go around, so I got up and went three more times. We have other things to do, and I didn’t really have enough energy to go much more.
The only thing that makes me nervous……..is a poor, driver in front of us, or decisions that have to quickly be made to avoid an accident on the road. Poor drivers include those who creep along, and don’t pay attention to what they are doing. They go slower so they can eat breakfast, or they are talking to someone while they drive.
You can phone someone and not have to pick up a thing to listen. Poor drivers won’t speed up to the limit, and they won’t get over in the lane designated for slower drivers.
I would say poor drivers need a person to drive them everywhere. This would make traffic flow, and we would all be thankful. Its time to give up driving when you can’t see, or when you have had surgery on your shoulder.
I do think we have the ability to figure things out, but when we are loaded with things to do, we need a break. Hire someone to drive you on long trips. Pay them with a smile, and let them stay somewhere else. You won’t have to stay over a week, and you will all get more rested.
I have seen drivers who want to get on down the road, swerve from one lane to the next, and sure enough they make their goal, to our surprise. They pass people, and then pass again and again. If all of us did this at the same time there would be more wrecks, and most of us with broken limbs. Patience is a virtue, but a driver who doesn’t care about the other drivers should leave the house an hour earlier, and get to the office on time. He has time for the treats, and eating a snack before everyone else gets there.
Have I made my points? We love to take the freeway, but some are abusing it.
Tomorrow is Sunday all day. We just finished supper. The meat was tough because it just was. I didn’t bake it. Ed, and I left for the church, and we went by to see some friends in their new place. They seemed tired from their yard sale. They were happy, and glad the sale was over.
I read more today. I have a few more books to read. I read two today, and I started another one. These go as fast as I will read, but I have slowed down. I want to get something from the text. The Bible challenges me to follow all the days of my life. I will, and I do, and I have most of my life.
Sunday is a special day. I try to have the washes caught up so I don’t have to do washes on Sunday. I like to relax, and take it easier. Ed is studying now for tomorrow. We are on the internet, and he is a good speaker. He studies, more than my Dad did, but then Dad would study all week for the next sermon. It just seemed like he didn’t study as much. He was ready by Saturday, and he usually went boating either on Friday, or Saturday. I would go with him.
I guess parents miss their children when they are gone to college. Mine did. They had two other children to worry over. One went to college the same year that I did. She finally became a nurse.
Life is short, and it seems like yesterday when I was much younger, and more active. Time goes by. I love the idea of going to Heaven, and discovering what it is really like. In the meantime, I will keep working with our puppies, and studying the Bible daily. I read much to get finished with the Bible. I am almost through again.
As we grow in Christ, we become steadfast, unwavering, steady as a rock about who Christ is for us. He loves us, He died for us, and He is risen, and sitting in Heaven praying for you, and me.
I do believe the word steadfast means to walk daily, and hourly, with Him. Have His Presence with you, as you do the dishes, dry the clothes, and wash more clothes. What ever you are doing, He goes with you, because in His Presence is Fullness of Joy. He loves us.
The difference is that we ask the Lord to forgive us of our sins, and to live in us. The Holy Spirit comes in when we surrender to God in Jesus name.
I am writing this, because I want to be clear. If you want the joy of the Lord, you surrender to Him from head to toe. We go through many things in life, but God can be with you for the rest of your life here on Earth. Surrender, and confessing your sins is important. Then receive Him as your own Savior.
To receive Him, you accept Him. You talk to Him, and tell Him you are a sinner, and you want to surrender from head to toe to Christ, the Lord who died for you, and me. I do believe The Holy spirit will come live inside a, person who does this.
Ask Him to live in you after you have told God your sins. I do believe God loves us so much to have sent Christ to die for us, and to rise again. Jesus is in Heaven praying for us. May God show you His truth, and may you walk with Him for the rest of your days.
It is no Secret what God Can Do……….This is the song that has come to mind today. I know this one so well, because I love to sing it. What He’s done for others, He will do for you. With Arms wide open, He’ll pardon you, It is no secret what God can do. This is a hymn, and I have no clue who wrote it. God is good to teach this one to me when I was young.
Yes, He does many things for people, and we don’t know all that He has done, because some keep their mouth shut. They have the peace of Christ, and they keep quiet. It is a good habit, but when I see someone glowing in His Presence, I need to tell them. God in You is the Hope of Glory. He is our peace.
If we lose His peace, we have only to talk to Him honestly, and ask for Him to keep residing in us, and changing us into people who love God, first. I find it is awesome to find someone who has known the Lord for a long time.
He gives us the Holy Spirit, and we are the ones who grow in Christ when we walk with Him, and love Him. Reading the Word is important, and so is sharing what you are today……..His child. His Person that He found who needed help. I have been there.
Remember, Satan lies and He is good with lies. Don’t listen to Him. He knows what He is doing. Rebuke the demons, and tell them to be gone in Jesus name. Then Ask God to fill you with His peace, joy, love and all the Presence of God. I do feel that when I received Christ at 8 years old, I wanted to sing to God. I did for a while on the front porch. I was almost shouting the songs. God filled me with His love, and peace. I did need it.
I was in the yard for awhile while the puppies were outside. Isaac has them on harnesses because they are learning to mind. They were easy going while the harnesses were on. When Isaac took these off, the puppies were back to playing, and being a little rougher in their actions. They were soon all over the backyard. They need to run, and play, but we don’t want them biting each other. It takes time to know what we want, and they are settling some.
It will take time to get the puppies to be perfect, but they are already special. When they are able they each come to me, and show they like me. They might lick me in the face, but i try to avoid this. It is fun having puppies.
