My Friend, Anne

I’m using her ‘puter today . . . though her ‘puter is more like a ComPUter.  Mine putted along so  I called it a puter . . . but her’s does not put along so it is extraordinairy!

Uh, I have not idea why I needed to explain all that. But I’m grateful for her patience with me and allowing me to use it while the boys watch a video for a short bit.

So, nothing new really . . . except . . . um, yeah, nothing new.

Just wanted to pop on here and say “all is good in the land of the Tuckers”.

With extra time, without the use of my intronet . . . I have more time with myself, in which I end up reading and since I have no new books to read . . . I read the Bible.  Ok, that should be the first choice, but sometimes it takes a little persuasion in my little world and my hard head . . . same place really, my world and head.

Good stuff.

God is good, that’s what I’m gonna say about that.  Sometimes the ruts of life seem the very thing that saps me of my passion for Jesus . . .  sometimes I have to upset those ruts, or God does, to get my attention back to where it belongs . . . focused right on God and His plan for our life.

Jesus’ sacrifice for me is something I have a hard time focusing on for any amount of time . . . its hard to swallow that someone loves me that much but, also the life given is hard for my finite human mind to wrap it’s selfish claws around really.

But the more I spend time in His presence the more the revelation of such can seep into my heart and I apparently really needed this.  I get wrapped up in my little world and surviving each day and forget how blessed, how forgiven, how in love I really am with my Savior.  And you know why I’m so in love with Him??  Because He is the only One who is truly good . . . the only true light . . . and truth.  Not to mention the extravagant love He lavishes on those who choose to believe (in love) and recognize Him and His Word. Beautiful Savior . . . caring for the least of the world, forgiving the unforgivable, loving me . . . that can’t be easy. Among a million other reasons and aspects of His nature that I’ve seen and have yet to see.

So, that is what is going on in my puny mind this evening.  That and eating strawberries and whip cream with the kiddos and my friend Anne while we crash her adobe.

Thank God for good friends!

Blessings on your week’s end!

Check out Psalm 31 while you’re reading this evening.  Good stuff!  He is my refuge when the waters of this life rise!
