food for thought

Well, their are a few different dirrections I want to go with this post. so we'll see which one I end up going. First of all I've just discovered the bennifits of writing down prayer requests. For some reason I thought it was like some rule that you had to remember everythingthat you were suppose to pray for. In otherwords, no looking at a list, o how wrong i was! and o how cool lists are! So on monday morning, I started a prayer list. Its sitting on my desktop, so its not exactly hard to miss. it will be even less hard to miss when i get rid of some icons on their that i don't need. Second, god has been really talking to me this week. In fact, my mind is full of ideas and things I want to do. I will briefly discuss them, these are just ideas mind you. prayer cloths. The other night I was just sitting here when those 2 words came into my head. I was like prayer cloth? Ok? then as I sat just waiting the idea slowly started to take shape. I feel the need to present every person who comes up for prayer with a cloth annointed with oil. I feel that it will be a link to the holy spirit and whenever they get discouraged or something they can hold on to it and pray and the spirit will lead them. that's as far as I've gotten on that. visiting the sick. that's pretty obvious, or is it? Not only do i want to be their for the sick, but I want to be their for the family. I want the family to feel safe and know that they can go home at night and get some sleep and their loved one will not be alone. Now, I'm not a nurse, so obviously they would have to be in the hospital or something, I would just be a friendly face to offer a kind word when they are afraid or can't sleep or something. In fact a friend of mine had surgery yesterday and I wanted to go to the hospital so bad I could almost taste it. I can't stand sitting here not doing anything. But again that's as far as that idea has progressed. so time will tell what god wants me to do.

traveling tuesdays. A fall adventure.

Sorry my writing has slacked off big time. I need to work on this. So today instead of rambling about my life, we're going to do a bit of traveling. so pack a virtual bag, and fill up your virtual car, and here we go. oh, their is one small catch, after you get to the destination, you'll be blindfolded until the trip ends. you'll be traveling with a group, but i'll be leading the way. so as long as you keep your hand on the person's shoulder in front of you then you'll be fine. their are some other small things, but you'll figure them out along the way. ready? ok here we go.
Allright, first thing we're gonna do is go pick pumpkins. Everyone make sure your holding on to someone. and we're off. Now, we'll be at the pumpkin patch in a minute. How we're gonna do this is their's nothing in your way except pumpkins, so when we get their y'll can spread out. feel of one to see if its the size you want, if so, kick it over with your foot, from what I remember about doing this in elementary school that gets the spiders out from under them. if you want it, place your left hand on the vine, and your right hand on the pumpkin, hold the vine and pull the pumpkin. then stand beside it till someone comes, your name will be writtten on the botom and it will be placed on a trailor and given to you at the end. allright, now grab a person and lets all walk back up this hill. its kinda steep so watch your step. We're at a trailor filled with hay and pumpkins, and about to be people, yup, thats right, we're going on a hay ride. So climb on up. off we go to the picnic area and the creek. Lunch time! everyone gets the lunch that they packed, i suggested a sandwich of some sort. Ok, everybody done? good, off we go. we're going on a nature walk. feel free to reach out and touch any tree or flower. hey, look! pinecones! they're all over the ground here, reach down. aren't they soo cool? reach over to your right or left, either one, ceetor trees. Ok going down hill. Now we're going on a wooden bridge thing, shhhh. hear the running water? its the... lake, hey its my trip we can have lakes and creeks in the same area, haha! Ok, now we're going up hill well actually we're turning around, and going back to our area. uh o, it looks like rain, o fine looks smells, whatever, y'll know what i mean. plus the temperature is starting to drop and the wind is picking up. Everyone is dirrected back to their cars. Sorry, gonna have to do the evening stuff at a later date. Y'll can take off your blindfolds. thanks for traveling with me on this fall adventure. Who knows we might go somewhere next tuesday, we'oll just have to see who's interested. make your reservations and trip suggestions now.
