Winter storms


Snow again! 2-4 inches. Winter is not leaving anytime soon. That's ok. Gives me an excuse, no, a reason to read, reflect and write in my mental journal. Material that gets lost between my mind and keyboard. Minfulness season. With a little bit of mindlessness too. Watching T.V. Surfing the internet.

And then back to work again.

Dreams


Sometimes I have the craziest of dreams. So real. Or totally senseless. Filled with beauty and wonder. And then there's the quick, in-between-snooze-alarms-type. So much can happen in those 9 minutes. That happened this morning. One of those that stay with you all day. Totally senseless at first. Then my mind goes over it again and again. So I'll describe it the best I can.

Here goes:
I was with a group of people entering a building, a hospital perhaps, helping them carry what was a wounded and unconscious lion inside. He then woke up. And he was very angry! We all were scared to death! People would pass in and out of the hospital, ignoring the fact that we were in danger. And the lion kept roaring! He was ready to pounce on a little girl when to my astonishment, he started getting smaller. In fact, it was a total transformation! He turned into a small animal, a rabbit I think. I was so relieved that we all were out of danger. However, everyone else was still terrified! In their eyes they were still looking at a hungry lion! And doing hysterical things to try to kill it. I kept trying to tell them that they were no longer in danger; for the lion they saw was just a harmless little rabbit. But nobody would listen. It was as if I were talking to myself!

Then the dream ended. Strange, huh.

So I replayed it over and over again in my mind; trying to figure out it's meaning. I think I know.

Let us pray


My friend Rhonda's grandmother is not doing well. Very sick actually. She's in the hospital. What the outcome will be is in God's hands. So I pray. For her health to return. For miracles. And especially her family. Lord, give Rhonda and her family comfort and peace. And for her grandmother. For healing. Hold her in your arms, Dear Lord! Amen.

Keep praying everyone!

Monday


Home from Nashville. The Steelers lost. I am still tired. Alyssa is sick. Tom's doctor appointment had to be re-scheduled at a cost of $50.00. My head hurts.

Life is still beautiful!
