Post for Saturday - Sunday - Monday (maybe)

Saturday:

Yesterday (Saturday) I was on the computer a lot. First I had to finish my Sunday school lesson for tomorrow. It is all about Jacob and his trouble getting his wife, Rachel. Did you know that he had to marry her sister, Leah, first. After working for seven years for their uncle thinking it was to earn Rachel. So then he had to work seven more years to earn Rachel.

Did you have a problem with "their uncle?" Yes, that is correct, Jacob and his wives were cousins. Read all about it in Genesis 29-31, click here.

Mrs. Jim and our friend visiting from Maine were shopping. While they were out, I shopped too! On eBay. I spent a lot more than Mrs. Jim did.

And Adi? She was my helper again. Both of us would rather have been down off the balcony and hitting our golf ball along with this fellow.


Before Mrs. Jim left, we read the paper. A couple of great items caught my attention. First was the 'joke of the day,' "He had a photographic memory that was never developed."

Second item, this cartoon (click) showing the artist's conception of blogging before the Al Gore had invented the Internet.

Sunday:

How about a church sign?



This sign reminded me of the little fellow who had loaves and fishes in his basket. It had been a long day, Jesus had been preaching longer than Billy Graham does that day. There was a huge crowd and everyone had gotten really hungry, but the only person with foresight to bring supper was this kid with his basket of loaves and fishes.

Jesus said to the kid, "Don't be greedy, pass your basket around!" That reminded me of the Methodist coffee house in Huntsville, Alabamah, I visited one day (in my hippy days a long time ago).

We all sat on the floor, around the room leaning on the walls. After a bit someone broke out a bottle of wine and they began passing them around till they were empty.

Those three bottles lasted us all night, somehow they never became empty. And there were twelve full bottles left over when we were ready to leave! Too bad we didn't have some pizza with anchovies in the basket also. That would have been good passed around going with the wine.

Oh well, just read about how Jesus did his thing to get enough bread and fish for the huge crowd, starting with just that one little basket. It's in Matthew 14:13-18

Monday, maybe:

I would like to go to Orange, Texas. There is a new garden over there sitting on 252 Texas-sized acres, called the Shangri Law Botanical Gardens. I see I can't do that, because it is open Tuesday through Sunday. Unless they are having a dress rehearsal Monday. That is a long way to drive to find out I couldn't get in. I'd better pay bills and clean up around here, and play a little golf in the afternoon.

Well, I'm off to bed now. Be sure to set your clock ahead an hour or you may be late for church tomorrow. It sure seems early to go to bed but we have set our clocks ahead early!
