A day away

Good morning friends,

I walked before daylight this morning. We are one day away from the weekend. The temp was only 70 degrees, and we'll approach 90 before the day ends. No fog today, but clouds gather. I took this picture from my driveway.



Clouds show up in our lives at the most unexpected times. What are you concerned about today? Would you like to see my list?

Well, let's see. Here's a few things that keep me awake at night.

1. Our daughter with dementia requires a lot of care. I've got to study her Obama Care insurance and figure that out mess out. Obama Care has been a nightmare for us. I hope it is better for you. She recently became a widow, her husband died from cancer. Grief lives with us.

2. Our church needs a good stirring. People are getting lazy and staying home. Churches die if the congregation fails to show up.

3. Books. Mine. I'd love to sell more of them. I write with the idea of bringing hope, faith and laughter to a hurting world, but if people don't know they exist, then am I writing in vain?

4. I can sell a tangible item but I don't know how to brand myself.

5. We have financial decisions to make.

6. Health issues.

7. Our nation and the election. Our country is divided. Things are getting ugly.

8. The holidays. I'm hoping the immediate family will celebrate together this year.

Yes, the clouds come and we live with what they bring. God is always good. I hope He brings sunshine to you today in the midst of your concerns.

Foggy Days


Good morning friends from Fulshear, TX.

Today is November 3, and the day started out at 74 warm degrees. Will cooler temps ever make it to Texas?

I walked yesterday and the fog kept me from seeing beyond a few feet. When hubby arrived at his work place, the fog was so thick he had to get out of the car to make sure he was in the right driveway. These kinds of days are dangerous.

I couldn't help but make a comparison to life. Some days keep us wondering where we are, which way to go, or if we are in the right spot. Are you having one of those now? Do you feel like you've been hit by a bus you didn't see coming?

If you see one coming, you get out of the way, right? It's the ones you don't see that you can't see that bring damage. Unforeseen circumstances change life in an instant.

So what to do when the dark surrounds? Prepare and pray. God knows what is coming your way and He'll take you by the hand to lead you through the fog.

It's not easy. I wish it were, but it's the way to cope with the gloom, doom, and unexpected.

Here's another suggestion. Read a book filled with hope, faith and humor.

My Sarah series will brighten your outlook. They do me, and I wrote them. You'll find them here on Amazon
