Love
Let love flow unfettered
Over all the earth in
Various ways conquering
Endless attacks of the
enemy.

Habits
I have been crocheting
since childhood,
but I have a strange way
of holding my yarn
to create the right
tension.
It’s kind of looped around
my index and middle
finger.
The yarn doesn’t flow
as smoothly as it should,
and I often have to
readjust.
But it works.
Recently I tried to learn
to knit.
But unlearning bad habits?
Forget it.
Tense Tension
We’re to teach about
nature
among Ponderosa pines,
scrub oaks and critters,
such as elk, chipmunks,
and horny toad frogs.
At the day’s end, we write
about our adventures.
One girl writes in past,
present, and future tense
all at once and
incorrectly.
To a writer,
it’s like fingernails
on a chalkboard.
But deep breaths,
I’m not there to teach
grammar.
Tension
T ightening of muscles
E nergy drained
N erves frayed
S tress
I ntense strain
O ne last
N erve. Will it snap?
Our Pastor
I’m always amazed
at our young pastor.
Only 24, but he tells us
what the Bible says,
not what he thinks
or what another says,
but what God says.
His insights are
beyond his years.
I believe Someone
helps him.
What a Friend we have in
Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to
God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All
because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
“What a Friend We Have in Jesus”
by Joseph M Scriven
What a Friend We Have in
Jesus
W hen I’m feeling down, I
H ave a Friend I can
A lways
T urn to.
A nd He’s a great
dependable Friend.
F aithfully, He listens
and
R eacts to whatever I tell
Him
I n love, acceptance and
forgiveness. I have
E ndured many hard times
which have only proved how much I
N eed Him to guide and
D irect me and offer His
help.
W hen I’m out of sorts and
not
E nthusiastic about life,
He reminds me that
H umpty Dumpty can be put
back together again. He’s
A ttentive to my prayers.
He is
Vigilant in His love. His
E yes are on me.
I know His smile.
N ow and always.
J esus, my friend.
E manual: God with us.
S avior of our souls.

Undecided
I see it often,
an ad for a Plein Air Convention.
It’s expensive.
I have the money.
It’s a long drive.
I like to drive.
And I always wanted to see
Lake Tahoe.
The teachers are well-known
professionals.
I’m a beginner.
I’ve actually never
painted outdoors.
Hubby will stay home.
He can handle it.
Can he?
Sis doesn’t want to go.
I can go alone.
Will I?
I don’t know.
Stay tuned.
