Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Who is a person of faith that you look up to and inspires you? Answer: I would say that an ex-pastor of mine is that person for me. His name is Reverend David Brooks Sr. Even though he is no longer my pastor, I know I can go to him with anything. He is a true man of God. He is one of those people that you can feel the Holy Spirit’s presence whenever you are around him. I still love to hear him preach. He is no longer my pastor because life happened and I moved out of the area where his church was at. He is still a reliable friend and minister and has been there for me when no one else was. I look at him like a spiritual father. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROMPT July 7th We've all had them, good and bad. Write about the best boss you’ve ever had. I have had a lot of good bosses over the years. It is hard for me to think of just one. I have had way more jobs than I probably should have. I guess thinking back, I do have one that stands out a little bit. I worked for Walgreens as a pharmacy technician for a little bit. The head pharmacist there was a pretty fun boss to have. I really enjoyed working with her. She is only a few months older than me and we had a lot in common. During slow periods, sometimes we had a chance to talk while we were working together. Another boss that stands out in my memory was a boss I had when I was a shift manager at McDonald's. The store manager was fun to work with and easy to get along with. This was a period of personal growth. She had a big part in that. One more that stands out in my mind was a manager I worked with at Taco Bell. She had a good attitude no matter how stressed she got. She got so stressed at this job that one day she had an aneurysm. Thankfully, I had had previous management experience and knew what to do when she had passed out on the job. You know? Thinking back, I may have had a lot of different jobs and not stayed at one job very long, but I can kind of see where God used me at each one or grew me. I can see shifts in my life or that I was needed at a specific time for a specific reason. I can think back on people I have interacted with. I can think about times I was able to brighten someone’s day with a simple smile and great customer service. I can think of people I went out of my way to help and people who went out of their way to help me. You just never know who’s life you will touch. No job is insignificant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write about Independence Day, grilling, and wildlife! Sounds like a great summer vacation to me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - Galatians 4:3-7 Scripture: 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Observations: Verse 3- When we are children, we can not understand salvation so we are in bondage to sin and worldliness. Verses 4 and 5- But when we are old enough, we can understand that Jesus is come so we may become the children of God. Verse 6- We have the spirit of Jesus in our hearts crying out to God our Father. Verse 7- We are no more servants to sin, but heirs of God with Jesus. Application: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus in us. We become one with him and are then the children of the most High God. Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for sending Jesus to us, to live with us. Thank you for being such a great father. In Christ’s name, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gratitude List 1. Fruit 2. Vegetables 3. Friendliness 4. Mail 5.

I disagree with the statement. You can not learn before you exist or after you are dead. Learning should never cease as long as you are alive, however, it is not infinite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today while cruising around in the rim still, we found a star.

. How about giving a review or something? Ok, maybe I am a bit slow today. Is this about a friendship or lovers? If they are just friends, where does cheating come in? I am a bit confused. Or is this one friend writing out the feelings of another friend who is romantically involved with someone else who is lying to and cheating on them? I have read this thing 3 times and am still not clear. 🤷♀️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 3156: July 7, 2021 Prompt: Write about July at its best and/or at its worst. I guess I am not one to dwell on such things. July and every month is what it is. Of course, I can say these recent last 5 years in general have been rough for me. 2021 is trying to out due them all. There have been at least 10 people that I knew die since January of this year. That doesn't mention, my health issues and health issues others I know are facing or any of the other craziness that has gone on this year. It is all starting to run together on me. I should write about all the craziness in just the last six months of my life. I can not say I have had a boring life on the bright side. 🤪
