The Gift of Music

-
" Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him,  talk ye of all his wondrous works. " Psalms 105:2

    I love music! Don't we all?! It is such a wonderful creation! It can change a mood with a happy tune, and  get our feet moving, while snapping our fingers or even bring tears of sadness.

    What a magnificent gift!! Music is God's idea. It has been with us from the beginning of time. 
  Music, songs, instruments, melodies, these are true treasures. What would life be like without music? I cannot not imagine.
   From the sound of a bird singing, to a magnificent symphony in an amphitheater, music of all kinds touches our emotions. God knew that.  This is just another reason to praise Him. He thought of everything, for His enjoyment and for our enjoyment too!

    It is the Christmas Season, with music playing songs of Christ's Birth, and  the glorious plan of salvation. And there are other  songs for children to be filled with anticipation and wonder.
   I am so thankful for songs of Christmas, and all the memories they bring of times past.  Memories of baking cookies, watching my children  sing songs in choir, and my own memories as a child  with my mother playing Bing Crosby on her stereo. I loved hearing his version of 
" White Christmas".      Music brings joy to my heart, changes the whole mood of my home, touches my heart  and surrounds me with so many happy emotions. Thank you God for the gift of music!!

The Cone of Shame

 Recently, our Golden Retriever, Angel,hurt herself. Somehow, she ended up with a puncture on her neck. I noticed it because she was scratching her neck and there was blood on the floor.    I investigated and found a wound. "What happened girl that you have this hole here?" and looking at it closer, I said to her "you cannot be scratching this, or it will get infected." It was already looking pretty nasty. She had a compulsion to keep scratching so I decided that a trip to the farm store was in order. Thankfully they had exactly what I had in mind. There, hanging on the wall was a large assortment of cone shaped covers that could be fitted around her neck. Here, I felt was the answer, to keep her from effectively scratching her neck.  So, once I got back home, I went to her and put it on her. I can only imagine what she must have thought. "What is this, and what did I do so wrong that you are punishing me?" She looked sad immediately. And tried to take it ...

Soveriegn Citizens

 One day my husband and I were watching youtube. We do that every now and then to see news, or comedy or instructions on fixing something.  Anyway, when we did that, an array of suggestions came up. This time a sovereign citizen video came up. We wondered "what is that about?" and clicked on the video. In the video, it started out with a police officer walking up to a car that he had pulled over for a traffic violation. The driver rolled down the window and ask the officer, "Why did you stop me??"  The officer replied," you were speeding, going 50 and 35  mile per hour zone."  Then the the officer added, " I need to see your driver's license and proof of insurance please." Driver: " I don't have  to show you anything; I don't have a driver license or insurance but I don't need either one." Police officer:" Yes, you do ma'am.You need to show me your driver's license and proof insurance. It's the law....

The BEST Part of Waking Up is.....

-
 The first thing I do after waking up and brushing my teeth is trudge to the kitchen and start filling the coffeepot with water and putting coffee in the basket to brew.  After a couple of minutes I fill my cup. For some reason my coffee is never hot enough, it looks right, but as I touch it to my lips, nope...  it has the mere essence of coffee, but is not anything I would drink or offer to anyone else in that blah state. So I nuke it in the microwave for 60 seconds and voila, it is heated to that perfect temperature that smells and awakens all my senses.   Lukewarm coffee is not my cup of tea. and I would venture to say, that this is most everyone elses feeling about it too. This morning I read in Revelations 3:15-20. It is the last book in the Bible written by John. It talked about how God feels about us as believers and being "not hot or cold" but lukewarm. It is very straight forward. Lukewarm believers are distasteful to Him, and he would spit them out of his m...
