...and the day is only half over...

i get up at 7 to walk at 8 to my appointment at 9.

i'm walking down the sidewalk, and there's a kitten (3-4 months?) just lying there like it's napping away... but i realized it was dead. eyes open, not moving, no response when i whistled, ground wet under it's head.

i have a hell of an appointment.

on way back, i go past where the kitten was, its not there, but there were about a dozen crows milling around, probably caught a smell lingering....

go shopping and browse for the next 3 hours.

say hi to the folk at neo.

force myself to eat something at mcd's.

head for home.

stop in at ss and lay on the lawn watching machoo wash windows (best part of my day so far - peaceful).

come home to a messy house i can't deal with, and budget papers to look at.

bury my nose in the comp.

and now, going for a nap.

..... if i can sleep.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
