Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Day 1

Well, I noticed as I opened up to make a post here that the last one I did was July 21st!  WHAT?!  Did you think I was never coming back?  Sorry!  Life has a way of happening, doesn't it?

So, we are taking Tim's mom to Boston, MA then up to Portland and Bar Harbor, ME this week.  We left the house at 7 a.m. this morning and arrived at her house here in Covington, KY at 2:30 - 2:45 or there abouts.  Such a lovely day for traveling!  When we left the house this morning, it was approx. 52 degrees!  Yep!  I'd say Autumn is on the way, WOOHOO!  We ate lunch at Bob Evans in Teays Valley, WV around 11 a.m.

Tim's mom was sitting on the porch enjoying the beautiful day when we arrived.  We joined her and enjoyed watching the humming birds.  The feeder is empty and one hummer came very close to me and made a noise while it watched me as if to say, "Why don't you fill the feeder for me?"  Sure wish I could've had it land on my hand, but the picture below will have to suffice.

What amazing creatures they are!

For dinner, Tim's mom treated us at Bob Evans.


After we came back to the house, we went over the trip details with Tim's mom.  Then some computer work and we are wrapping things up before bed.  Tomorrow will be a long day of traveling, probably 10 hours beginning at 6 a.m.

Nite all!
