On My Mind...permiculture, rainwater/greywater harvest, food forest, mulch...I never knew until yesterday that all the huge dust storms in Phoenix during my childhood were a mini dust bowl...because of the cotton farming practices and range cattle eating all the undergrowth, the topsoil was blown away...
Celebration...greening the desert...
Scripture Meditations..."It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes." Psalm 119:71I never would have learned more about the Biblical laws of health, accepting God's will and timetable, empathy towards others, and the beauty of prayer through hymns without this long, humbling journey of ill health. I don't know what God has in store for me. He has set me upon this path and no matter the outcome, I will follow Him.
Praying For...Gracie and Nathan...mercy and love for the misunderstood and grieving...peace and plenty for families...honorable leaders...
Commitment to Deliciousness...last week my SIL asked me to make green smoothies for dinner. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep with all the energy they provide...serendipity! When consumed at dinner time, smoothies are soothing. I haven't slept so well in years. After that experience, we're changing up how we do things with our biggest meal of the day at noon with carrot juice and smoothies for breakfast and dinner...
Commitment to Movement...walking in the cool of the evening is lovely...
Commitment to Modesty...found two cute, crinkle, tiered, long, cotton skirts at Walmart of all places...
Towards a Real Education...re-reading The Federalist Papers and discovered several books on rainwater/greywater harvesting and permiculture plus history and science books for my book projects...actually, I was sort of lazy this week and took a much needed rest from everything...
Sound of Music...thinking about which hymn to memorize for July~maybe Lead Kindly Light...it's so strange how changing the focus of my music to prayer and the glory of God has changed my attitude and joy quotient...
Bee Buzz...I think hive one is possessed...they swarmed out and back in again Friday...
Garden Gate...the yard is looking better...the back 40 is full of volunteer sunflowers...
Simple Pleasure...bird songs while it is yet night...

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
