The Painting: A smaller version of my larger Painted Pony Pulls.

Life at the Lake:  Nothing more but  a trip to Winnsboro to the Friends & Co for a hair cut... and then... tada....The new thing is internet and streaming NETFLIX on our Wii.   Terry loves 24 hours a  day movies on demand.  I have to remind him of sleeping too. Oh, and don't forget about the Lake outside.  Actually he mowed the rest of the lawn yesterday.  It is an acre and a half and the riding mower is needing a new tire.

The Thought:  Streaming NETFLIX, oh my gosh, what more could anyone want?  Well, I am not a movie/tv watcher, so I could list a bunch ahead of this, but your typical citizen around here would be glued to the set with a mini refrig and microwave hooked up with in reach.

 If you really stopped to think about it you have constant streaming access to God.  Do you use it? At least do you use it more than the times of trouble or need?  Our Father wants a relationship with us and if we are disconnected from our 'stream' to Him, we are not participating in that relationship.

The wedding is coming up. Justin phoned and was asking me about songs to do "their" first dance to.   He had chosen two, one I immediately smiled about and that was It's a Wonderful World...because every day was that with Justin in the house.  I also threw in two suggestions, one was Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden.   The chorus is "I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea, I want to lay like this forever. Until the sky falls down on me."

It is a song about a new relationship, a new beginning with love.  "that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest power."   ( 24/7... surrounded by His comfort, His love and His protection.)


I truly feel the power in this song and have loved it ever since the first time I heard it almost 12 years ago.   My other suggestion was George Jones, "Walk through this world with me."  It is country and western and not as powerful or as strongly link to God, but very meaningful.

So I close this blog this morning with another part of Truly Madly Deeply. Close your eyes and imagine God singing this to you...

"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope,

I'll be your love be everything that you need. 

I'll love you more with every breath Truly madly deeply do.... 

I will be strong, I will be faithful, 

co's I am counting on a new beginning a reason for living, 

a deeper meaning too..."

His love is streaming to you 24/7. Are you ready for that new beginning?
