Yes, we know things are bad, and the majority of the people, it seems, not only tolerate but heartily approve the putrid agenda of our "leaders". All the more reason to shut ourselves in with the Lord and pray, pray, pray.

I found a lovely flowered dress from the 80s at the Salvation Army for $1.50!! Love it. I, too, am old enough to wear what I want. I have also started wearing hats to church. I get many compliments, which makes it easier, although I don't expect any ladies to follow suit.

In my thinking, the only need to know anyone has about disaster after disaster is that which is necesary to enable us to help our brothers and sisters in some way. As for the rest, hmm; its unecessary.

If it is indeed falling, we are to be found working, or doing our best, anyway. The time people spend worrying could be better spent on something that really makes a difference in their lives. Most of what we know about the latest disasters come from that box or the papers.

I pray my husband will be happy for me to step down from my one day a week of study to come home fully. I have prayed on this, and two summers ago we almost came to blows on it. I wound it back, doing my utmost to arrange things so the home doesn't get neglected. This is in God's hands, and, while I'm there (in class) I doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
