A Lover of Jesus
There is no theological statement, doctrinal teaching, or logical reasoning that introduces you to Jesus.

MICE & HEAT & SQUIRRELS, OH MY!
I’m writing this sitting on the bed at a “writing retreat” with my sister in the backwoods of Kentucky. For years we’ve come in the fall, but this is our first time in the spring, and we’ve learned not to come when it’s this warm. We’ve not gotten any writing done, but we’ve laughed a lot!
Our first evening here the air conditioner in our cabin broke, and after a hot evening we cooled down through the night. But the next morning it was obvious that being in the eighties this week was going to be impossible in that cabin. They called the air conditioner guy but so far (and it’s our last evening here) he’s not shown up. We spent yesterday sweltering in the lodge (no air on since we were the only ones at the campground) and looking for cool places to hang out, like our cabin, the screened porch, and sitting in chairs under the trees (too many gnats swarming our face).
While we hated to pack up and move, we finally decided that since the air conditioner repairman wasn’t going to fix it we had to change cabins. So we were given another cabin and decided to take our supper and eat in the coolness before we moved the rest of our stuff, but we’d just gotten our casserole heated up in the microwave when we were told that some people were arriving and due to a miscommunication they were expecting to stay in the cabin we’d been moved to! We were glad to accomodate so picked up and moved to another cabin.
By the time we ate a late supper our casserole had came out of the
fridge in our original cabin, was heated up in a second, put under the
broiler and eaten in a third cabin, and then put back in the fridge of
the original cabin! At bedtime we just carried our PJs over to the new
cabin so as to not have to move everything (in case the air conditioner
man showed up and fixed it), and have been now staying in TWO cabins,
one we eat, sleep, and spend time in and one to shower and keep our
food and things in.
Last night as I brushed my teeth a mouse ran into the bathroom with me,
and during the night we were awakened by something scrambling around
overhead in the attic, so it’s definitely been an
adventure! We head home tomorrow, without having done much writing but
having definitely laughed a lot! And it’s shown me what a city girl I
am!
I
hope your May is a great month that includes lots of laughter and fun,
treats, and time for you to take some deep breaths and relax. And if I
survive the mice and bugs and crickets and heat, I’m looking forward to
this month myself!

April 2012
The alarm just went off and I don’t want to get out of bed, seven
o’clock is too early, but at least the sun is up. I crawl out at 7:18
only because Terry does. But today is my day off, what do I want it to
look like?
It’s eight o’clock and I’m sitting at Starbucks, ready to spend the
morning writing. Having given myself a motivational writing speech
yesterday I’m prepared to work hard. I’ve eaten all that’s good of my
Morning Bun. It’s my fifteenth drink (not all fifteen today) so it’s on
the house, and they gave me a venti, the largest they serve. I have no
desire to overwhelm my body with a gallon of sugar and caffeine so maybe
I’ll have the rest for breakfast tomorrow. The crowd has thinned out in
here, just two
