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

Today

Mondays.......not dreaded like they used to be when I worked at a full-time job.  However, the weeks I have to do grocery shopping, I still get the Monday blues!  I LOVED it when Tim got the groceries on his day off when we lived in Buffalo, WV.  BUT, I love even more not having to go to work!  I told Tim last Thursday that I was thinking about going out and looking for part-time work.  However, I feel sure that will mean missing church on Wednesdays AND possibly even Sundays, which I do not want to do!  My place is beside my husband when he is at church!  He told me there was no need for me to look for work since I don't have to.  We are doing fine.  The Lord is taking good care of us!  We aren't getting rich quickly, not even slowly!  :D  But, money isn't everything!

Anyway, after getting the groceries, I took care of the church sign.  That is another Monday job, however, sometimes I do it on Sunday.  This is an every week change, unless we happen to be out of town.  One of Tim's (and mine) pet peeves is seeing a church sign that is quite obviously out-of-date, as in announcing an Easter program and now it is June!

The sun was already hot at 11:00 when I started working on the sign!  The days have been gorgeous lately!  And the temps have been wonderful, too!  We were supposed to be 10 degrees cooler today than what we had yesterday, but it felt like it was going to get hotter while I was working on the sign!  Here's the last sign and today's sign.  They are very applicable for today, and even in the voting area!  Couldn't get the pictures to upload, so here's what last weeks sign said:  "Trying times are no time to quit trying."  This week's says:  "Sow today what you want to reap tomorrow."

Well, after I got the sign done and ate I worked on my computer the rest of the day, trying to find drivers, etc for my printer and scanner so I could use them with the laptop Michael gave to me.  No such luck, unfortunately.  Eventually, I'll have to get another printer.  But I will be keeping the current printer as long as I have the laptop.  Actually, I'll probably keep it longer because I can still scan stuff and print it right from the printer even without the use of the laptop.  That's how I print out my Sunday school lessons for the kids.

Here's the picture I got done today for Jessica's album.



The story will continue tomorrow!  :D
