gotta love a day like today...

...a day of slummin' around in me jammies....


put, put, putterin' around the house (well, maybe more like a sput, sput, sputterin' car... stop, go, stop, go, stop........ go stop..... stop..... go!!!!!!.... lol)

...not enough food, and too much coffee...

doin' some laundry.... and wondering where the heck the smell of something *dead* is coming from!!!! ......

...i've smelled it occasionally in the spare room... usually after moving stuff around, i've thought... but have never been able to find a source... or even a part of the room that is 'the strongest', or anything..... it's usually very mild and transient... but today.... P.U. i can even smell it in the living room. and i haven't moved a single thing in the spare room...! what i am wondering is this..... i've had the dryer on for four consecutive runs - not typical for me... i wonder if something crawled into the dryer vent opening outside and died.... blech. i will have to pay more attention in the future as to whether it's been when the dryer is/has been on... but why the smell would be strongest in the spare room?! ... hmm, i wonder where the dryer vents are outside.... maybe it oozes in through the cracks around the back 'deck' doors....(*goes and sniffs outside the doors*)... nope. HUH.

hmm... the lights have been on in this spare room today... i wonder if the light bulbs are too hot... (previous tenant left some too-high wattage bulbs in other fixtures, maybe that's the problem here....)..... *turns lights off*.... we'll have to see!

...ooooh, the mystery of all mysteries....

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
