Life in the turtle lane.

Here we are, a beautiful weather Tuesday.  Right now it’s a little overcast, we’ve had some rain and sunshine scattered through out the day.  It’s a little humid but the cool ocean breeze tempers that. 

I don’t understand how and why dust collects so quickly in an enclosed condominium.  It’s mind boggling.  I guess it comes from the a/c ventilation system but is that right?  Hmph, just something that keeps catching my attention every time I turn around it seems.

Sometimes I see the moon in the day sky.  I wonder how and why that happens to be.

I have a lot of time to wonder about many things.  I guess that’s good though, I’d rather be in the turtle lane than in the fast lane right now.  I’m content.

I’m feeling pretty good today.  I ran a few chores.  I already feel in the Christmas spirit, maybe because I know I’m going to be going to California over the holidays to be with my sons and their wives and children.  Maybe I’ll even get to spend time with other family members there on the west coast.  I’ll be gone for a month and I am so looking forward to seeing and being with them all.  I think Christmas is a wonderful time of year.  I hope and pray the economy like it is doesn’t bring everyone down and keep them from experiencing the joys and wonders of this special time of the year (when it actually comes I mean).  I trust God will make me mete for the challenge of the traveling and being away from home, my family here in Corpus Christi and my doctors.  Aw, but I just found myself guilty of not living one of the Christian fundamentals that Jesus taught us:  Matthew 6:34 (KJV): “TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT FOR THE MORROW: FOR THE MORROW SHALL TAKE THOUGHT FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF.  SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF.”  I think that this is one of the hardest teachings to practice for us Christians, but all the same, we must strive to do so because that’s what Jesus taught us.

Well, no notice to move out yet.  Maybe it won’t come.  Matters like these seem to swing back and forth.  Last night my sister was commending me on how nice I keep the condo.  Hmmm, truly she is a lovely person and I am very thankful that God has blessed my life with her and everyone (but especially Him).

Ok, I have to get to my online assignments now (I was once under a drill sergeant that told us it was not ok to use the phrase “ok”).  Please feel free to comment.  i notice that if a person leaves a comment that has more than two links in the body, the comment is treated like spam.  I have received a lot of comments in spam that I don’t know what to do with.  :-)   God bless them.

Peace and love, Out!  Linda

    Hi Matt. Thank you so much for the link. I found another one that specifically addresses why I can see the moon during the day. The link is:

    Maybe you’ll like this one too. Thanks again. Linda

    the moon rises one hour later each day… and its a cycle. so sometimes its in the sky during the day. if it rises today at 11 it’ll rise tomorrow in the same place over the east water at 12… and the next day in the same place at 1… and again the next day at 2… etc etc… matt actually took some really great pics of a moon rise awhile back
