Some random thoughts first-
I love the tulip trees! They remind me of KY… I need some happy things about KY in this present basketball season.
Those things you wear over your eyes when you swim… those are called “wiggles”.
Rachel said so.
The engine for my car came in at about half what we feared it would cost and it will be done by Thursday.
Yesterday, I finished the draft of the 6th book- working title: Light Affliction. It feels great to have reached the end, but a little sad too. The goal of finishing focused my attention, gave me a clear picture of what I was working toward. Plus it is a very tangible goal. Sometimes I lose sight of my goals here on this earth.
Paul talks about I press toward the goal [I remember it in the KJV- mark]. He always had a clear sense of purpose, and he kept his focus on the big, eternal picture.
The book touched on the purpose of suffering- devastating illness, specifically- and the characters are called on to look to that eternal purpose behind it.
Monday (maybe today even) I’ll get back to editing. My goal is to finish it by June…
