If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
If I had a word or phrase I could give up it’s “just. “ I usually use this word to make excuses for not doing something.
20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.
It never ceases to be a thing of wonder when I see a rainbow. We got some nice rain yesterday and afterwards was a full rainbow and then when I looked closer it was a double!
I think of all the claims made on this phenomenon and it makes rainbows so complicated and divisive. The rainbow is a phenomenon for all to see and appreciate. Whenever I see one I am filled with such hope and wonder! So it was a double dose seeing two rainbows shining together!
How is the formation of rainbow naturally?
A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets, present in the atmosphere. A rainbow is always formed in a direction opposite to that of the Sun. The water droplets act like small prisms.

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
The furthest I’ve traveled from home was Europe when I was in the military. One of my favorite memories is when we went to visit the Swan Kings castles Neushwanstein and Linderhof in Germany. We saw them on a bus tour. What a beautiful place to have castles.
This was the song I listened to on the bus on the way there – it was snowing:

What does your ideal home look like?
My ideal home doesn’t look much different than where I am living right now. The only difference would be there would be more storage, built in shelving and a doggy door. I could use a couple more square ft. I would also love a water feature like a pool or fountain. These are just wants not needs so probably not ever going come to fruition.
I don’t know if this home will be my last. I know I can’t sell this house and buy another with interest rates being what they are. I’m a little concerned about Wells Fargo bank closures as of late too!

and through understanding it is established;

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
I used to be the “who dropped the hat lady” the person who would cry at the drop of a hat. I’m not really like that any more – the past few years events has really toughened me up. The one thing that still brings a tear of joy is seeing someone I haven’t seen in a long time. I am like a dog I think in that regard! Just so happy, on a soul level, to see you. I can remember the times my parents came to visit Kyle and I in Texas or when when my friend Melinda visited – just such a surprise and so much happiness. There are aspects like this that make me miss the house in Texas.

Why do you blog?
Hello to you. How is your weekend? I’m pooped. I went to church and got groceries and feel like I ran a marathon! I’m so out of shape! I’m looking forward to the Tai chi exercises through the VA starting on the 11th.
I have been blogging for a long time. All the way back to MySpace and Newsvine! The main reason I started blogging was to help people and get my story out in the world. I believe if even one person, even if it’s just me, has been helped by my messages then I have completed my goal.
3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire,will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
2 But who can endure the day of his coming?Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.
5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.
Hello there. How are you? I’m writing late today. I was really tired today. I’m trying my hand at a poem. Thinking of Jesus’s return.
Deliverer
Through the clouds I see his flame
Through the stars I hear his name
Yeshua oh Yeshua the deliverer is coming home
Foot fall on the Mount of Olives he does roam
Dressed in white the groom has come for his bride
All the trials of the world he will push aside
Peace flows amidst the wreckage we have made
Before us all there is coolness in his shade
The end to suffering is all he knows
The burning ceases and life giving water flows
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt downand prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[a]
How are you feeling right now?
How am I feeling right now? I’m feeling ok. Trying to have a attitude of gratitude. Some days are harder than others to do that. I constantly have a weird pulling in my ears that makes me anxious. It’s very debilitating. I have some things I listen to on YouTube that help- Relax For Awhile with Joan and Jason Stephenson are my favorites.

Philippians 4:6 NIV – 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
The daily habit that improves my quality of life is walking. Each day I try to walk around the block even if I don’t want to. Taking a walk each each day is the one thing I have tried to consistently do. It’s not easy for me to do with the swaying issues I have going on in my head. Sometimes I feel like a shambling zombie I’m so stiff but I’m not giving up!
3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
The last thing I searched for online was a positive message of hope in the bible. The reason was to reinforce that no matter how things seem right now hope can be found. It’s kind of like when my ex and I lived in an apartment complex that got made into section 8. When we walked Sam there we always found the beauty. By looking at the pictures from that time you would never guess it was a dump!
As I’ve gotten older and been through some things I wish I hadn’t, I still try to find beauty where I’m at – hope. it’s difficult these days!
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope forand assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
