As a Christian I try to value and enjoy every day! I run and write about my Etsy shops; Leaning on the Promises, Hand Painted Canes and Measure Me Charts. I also write about my life on my farm, my love of nature and anything else that strikes my fancy!Judy Goddardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16070758356699534606noreply@blogger.comBlogger185125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988907893890034688.post-9970119456431799182014-01-11T11:31:00.001-08:002014-01-11T11:31:14.302-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="font: 30.0px Georgia; line-height: 18.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Beggars and Blessings</span></span></div>

<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> The beggar who waited on the stone piazza by the temple gate called “beautiful” could hardly be be considered “beautiful” himself. His body was twisted and weak. He had been carried there to beg alms. (Acts 4)</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> He had probably seen Peter before. The fisherman visited the temple daily with his friends. They were a happy group, praising God and greeting others in the crowd. </span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> The lame man put out his hand, hoping to receive a few coins; but he was soon to receive a great deal more. As he reached out for the hoped-for coins, Peter spoke. ‘In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, WALK”</span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">
</span>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> Suddenly the beggar’s legs strengthened. He felt the change. He didn’t’ need to struggle. He sprang to his feet. He stood. He took a step. He leaped. He shouted, “Oh, my God! Thank you, Lord” </span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> The crowd stared. Some cheered. Some whispered their hopes to others. Some turned aside unable to bear the conflict with their unbelief. Many joined themselves to the beggar's celebration. Tears of joy flowed from the eyes of the beggars friends.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> Peter smiled and then grinned. He had seen this happen before. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> He remembered when Jesus had called the twelve together and instructed them to go. “</span><span style="font: 7.3px Times; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><sup> </sup></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Go to the lost sheep of Israel.</span><span style="font: 7.3px Times; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><sup> </sup></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts.” “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’</span><span style="font: 7.3px Times; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><sup> </sup></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. (Matthew 10). The power was not Peter’s. But it was his to deliver. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> The same power is not mine, or yours…it is the Lord's. But it is ours to deliver. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> Go, Fear not, Prepare not, </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Will there be conflict! Yes! </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> But, “Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. ." (Matthew 10:32)</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Outside our walls the world waits, crippled by false values, begging for pennies, unable to enter the place of worship. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Will I remember what I have experienced? Will I doubt Him? Will I doubt myself? or will I put out my hand and deliver what I know and what I have seen? </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Times; line-height: 20.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 18.0px;">
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>

<div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Chapter 2</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">People are afraid of conflict. Not just the conflict of dealing with those outside the walls, but also with the conflict inside their own skin. The great, what if nothing happens? Will "I" be viewed as a failure? Did I think I heard the Lord say, "Do this!" but not hear correctly? Will I bring ridicule down the Lord? Will I feel foolish? Will I look like a fool?<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />But I think we often forget that we have been given permission to do this. We have been given the authority to do this. The outcome is in the Lord's hands. It is our faithfulness that counts. We carry the Holy Spirit with us where ever we go. We can't leave Him home. So when we use the authority that has been given to us to lay on others to ask for healing, He is already present. I like to think of how, when I lay hands on someone the Holy Spirit flows out of my fingers into the person I'm praying for. In that way, there is NO WAY nothing is going to happen! It may not be for me to understand how the Lord will work in each instance, but I have to understand that when the Holy Spirit leaves me to enter another, SOMETHING always happens! </span></div>

<div style="font: 16.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
</div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Acts 2:25-28</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Peter is quoting Psalm 16:8-11</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“‘25 I saw the Lord always before me.<br />
</span><span style="font: 14.0px Courier; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Because he is at my right hand,<br />
</span><span style="font: 14.0px Courier; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I will not be shaken.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">26 </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;<br />
</span><span style="font: 14.0px Courier; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">my body also will rest in hope ...’”</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He used this passage to point to Christ, to the prophecy of his resurrection from the dead.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">But when I read Acts chapter 2, and the Lord stopped me at verse 25, it seemed to be another message he was giving me.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“I saw the Lord always before me.” When he reaches out with his right hand to take us by our right hand then he must be standing before us. When he stands beside us, then his right hand grasps our left hand.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">David had an understanding of intimacy with God;</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Psalm 63:8<br />
I cling to you; your <b>right</b> <b>hand</b> upholds me.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Psalm 73:23<br />
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my <b>right</b> <b>hand</b>.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I brought this “standing before me” up with the assistant pastor at our church last night. He pointed out that the person of Jesus is God the Father’s way of showing us how intimate he wants to be with us. Before the coming of Jesus people had no concept of intimacy with God the Father.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Isaiah 65:2<br />
All day long I have held out <b>my</b> <b>hands</b> to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations ...</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">They relied on their faith, when things were going badly, that God would stand by them and help them by the power of his right hand.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I was directed to Isaiah 49. It seems as if the whole chapter is a prophecy of Christ’s coming, his rejection, his being cursed for us, his being a light to the gentiles. (that’s me)</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">But verse 16 is what really stuck out;</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“See, I have engraved you on the palm of my hands.”</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Jesus, God incarnate, is a face to face kind of person. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As an artist, I depend on my ability to close my eyes and “see” what I envision. And I see Jesus. He stands close to me. He is as close as my breathing in and my breathing out. He is as close as a bridegroom is to his bride.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">One of my all time favorite scriptures comes from Isaiah 41:13;</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your <b>right</b> <b>hand</b> and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">God, the creator of the universe, the creator of everything, the only perfect being, stands before me and holds my right hand. He never leaves me. And he promises he never will.</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">And isn’t that what the second chapter of Acts is <i>really</i> all about? Living a life of intimacy with the Lord?</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Now that I think about it, isn’t that <i>really</i> what the entire Bible is all about?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">When we go to church we hear about the<b> wonders</b> of God. When we walk the streets we do not necessarily expect to hear that. But how about when we gather together as friends? How much time do we spend sharing our experiences of how good God is to us, how much he's blessed our lives since the last time we came to together?</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">After the lecture time we took a walk to secluded spot, ate our box lunches and started sharing. One blessing after the other came pouring out of us as we shared the joys of living with and being "intimately acquainted" with the Creator of all that is! Tears came flowing as we talked about watching dear ones cross over into Glory. But laughter flowed as we talked about seemingly small things that had our Lord's "fingerprints" all over them!</span></span></div>

I try to stay mindful of him by thanking him for each small gift he presents to me, whether it be a good parking spot, the fact that I found the keys I had been missing, the flash of a cardinal flying through the trees. And I can't wait until until my husband comes home, or my best friend calls, or my daughter shows up, unexpectedly at my door, to share with them all the incredibly neat things the Lord has done for me since the last time.

Finally! At the ripe old age of 52 I've made it to Woodstock! I went with my husband's boy scout troop last weekend and did we have a ball? You bet! But the biggest thrill was seeing the bus! <br />

In 1992 we had a blue '83 Dodge Colt. It had been in a front end accident and we had to replace the hood and front fenders and the parts we got were white. Well! I certainly couldn't leave it looking like that! So I painted a huge sunburst on it! (If I could find a photo I'd post it, but alas, I can't.) We drove it like that for 3 years. I named it the "Trigger Sunshine Mobile".<br />

Fast forward a couple of decades. We bought a silver PT Cruiser. The moment I knew we'd be buying it I thought to myself, "This baby's getting painted, just as soon as it's paid off!" We paid it off a couple of years ago and I just haven't done it.<br />

<br />
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Tonight we started a new bible study. But it really isn’t a bible study. It’s really more of a journaling exercise. I don’t really have my mind truly wrapped around what it is, but it’s something like this;</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We’re given a chapter, say Acts 2. We read it and then write about what it means to us. What it means to me. How does the Holy Spirit speak to me through it? Is it relevant to what’s going on in my life right now? Does it call to mind something from my past? </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The Lord uses every word of scripture to speak to us. We should expect to hear from Him and to interact with Him every time we open the bible. And that’s part of what this experiment is about, interacting with the Lord in a truly personal way.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It will also be used as an opportunity to build up and edify each other. When we gather together, either biweekly or once a month, we will share what the Lord has shown us and compare notes. If it’s that we’re all using the same scripture verses then it will be so fascinating to see how each of us interprets that verse.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Then, we will post them on our blogs and hopefully share them with the blogosphere. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">That way we are also using them as witnessing tools.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’m excited!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25974" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">38</sup> There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.<br />
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25975" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">39</sup> One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”<br />
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25976" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">40</sup> But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25977" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">41</sup> We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”<br />
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25978" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">42</sup> Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.<sup class="footnote" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;" value="[<a href="#fen-NIV-25978d" title="See footnote d">d</a>]">[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2023&version=NIV#fen-NIV-25978d" style="color: #651300; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: top;" title="See footnote d">d</a>]</sup>”<br />
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-25979" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; line-height: normal; vertical-align: top;">43</sup> Jesus answered him, <span class="woj">“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”</span><br />
<span class="woj"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<div><span class="woj">The thief on the cross admitted he was a sinner and confirmed that Jesus was sinless. He said,, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." That kind of remembrance is a "calling to mind". In other words, think about me - remember this conversation - may my face come before you. And Jesus assures him He will.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-muME2ImWaqZ2Do5WZtPI_rd_peIQATKGebJse-UQd2-jZ14XxdRfCm2YNCb1coyIL2jYIek5-mrm5jZGfqQHo9NgUfvQ5Igh5zoSJIjZUKhygdOpNUntYRnj_3ALoPE7HU2iHt-cKOy/s1600/a_Last_Supper__In_frame2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-muME2ImWaqZ2Do5WZtPI_rd_peIQATKGebJse-UQd2-jZ14XxdRfCm2YNCb1coyIL2jYIek5-mrm5jZGfqQHo9NgUfvQ5Igh5zoSJIjZUKhygdOpNUntYRnj_3ALoPE7HU2iHt-cKOy/s320/a_Last_Supper__In_frame2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><span class="woj"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="woj">Another kind of remembrance is, "Do this in remembrance of Me." It's a memory of things past that causes a connection. When I remember Christ in the taking of communion it calls to my mind all the times I've interacted with Him, all the times He's blessed me, all the personal things He's done just for me, and reminds me of how much He loves me. And it also reminds me of His promise, that He's coming again!</span></div><div><span class="woj"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="woj">Remember this day what was accomplished for you.</span></div><div><span class="woj">Have a blessed Resurrection Day.</span></div><div><span class="woj"><div><br />

<br />
I took a bit of a break. But I think, now, that I'm ready to blog again. Things in my life have changed quite a bit since my last posting and I guess I feel I have more to share.<br />
<br />
So.... just as soon as this cold lets me alone I'll dig in share.<br />

He developed an algebraic equation that creates an<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=mandelbrot+set&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=6jhqToihPM3E0AHsh6XpBA&ved=0CFIQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=549"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> image</span></a> that, no matter how big or how small you make it, never, ever ends!

But our house has stood firm because it's on a firm foundation! Both physically and Super Naturally!<br />
<br />
Yesterday afternoon the creek had risen to up under my cabin studio deck, just a few inches from the first step up onto my deck.<br />
<br />
At 7:00 this morning, Tom came in, woke me up and told me we were flooded! Eight inches inside the studio! Water almost up to the house! and a puddle in the basement!<br />
<br />
At 7:30 Doug Cowie called. Tom was supposed to work at his house today. He prayed immediately and just as immediately the waters started to recede!<br />
<br />
<br />
At 8:00 the puddle had become about an inch in the cellar, but just around the rediculous drain that's in the floor right in front of the door. (Tom says that when things get back to order he'll fill in that drain!) He waded (almost swam!) back down to the cabin studio to put my canes and charts up out of the water, rescueing my LPs while he was there.<br />

At 11:00 we took a ride to the library and stopped at the end of the driveway on the way back to walk up to the "Little White Bridge, which if you don't pay attention, you won't notice". There's a sink hole there and some ominous looking cracks in the black top. The waters are raging under the bridge and crossing over portions of the road. Earlier Tom had placed some arrows to show where the water had been. Now it's back down much lower.<br />

On a warm night in August, with the winds whipping at 60 mph and the rain so fresh and inviting, how could we resist stripping down and running out, with soap in hand to glory in God's creation?<br />

<br />
I remember back in college, my art history prof told us that the term, "naked" connoted shame.<br />
But the term, "nude" suggests the unclothed body without a sense of shame. <br />
<br />
I guess that makes us shameless!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I love where I live! I have the freedom to enjoy all that God offers and in a shameless state of enthusiasm and praise!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Last night I participated in a "Webinar" held by Tim Adam, from <a href="http://handmadeology.com/pro/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Handmadeology Pro</span></a>.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> </span>There was Tim, in a little box up in the left hand corner, as live as live can be! To the right of him was a much larger box where he displayed his power point images and used his curser to point out aspects of what he was talking about. The discussion topic was,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">The Holiday Rush, Setting Goals. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> </span>It coincided with the release of his<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"> Holiday Rush Goal Setting Spreadsheet. </span>(designed by Jason.)<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkUmnHYqRW1Ir1olgp-rgEAeD1aJRVlclghDgk8Z183fmQt9Dp8b0FKtlnF400MluQJfhrFUvsjmTdW0qwkBClGNwdwk6CUkRFzhZY3LEWwxJSDJNx718OgeD6amgil5EV2OV-nAkimEO/s1600/holiday-tracker-1-1024x556.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkUmnHYqRW1Ir1olgp-rgEAeD1aJRVlclghDgk8Z183fmQt9Dp8b0FKtlnF400MluQJfhrFUvsjmTdW0qwkBClGNwdwk6CUkRFzhZY3LEWwxJSDJNx718OgeD6amgil5EV2OV-nAkimEO/s320/holiday-tracker-1-1024x556.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><br />
Most of what he talked about had been covered in the blog posts and videos that he had already released concerning the spreadsheet. But it was good to have him go over it in real time and expalin how it works. (One small caveat; If you're using a MAC, some things on the spreadsheet will look different and none of the links will appear. Tim and Jason say they'll try to figure something out.)<br />
<br />
But the real gems, as far as I'm concerned came in the Q and A afterwards. There were not a whole lot of people signed on so the questions came from just a few of us. They were wonderfully pointed questions, some of which demanded pin point answers. Others were questions of opinion which Tim was glad was offer.<br />
<br />
His partner, Jason, also chimed in with technical help and useful suggestions as well.<br />
<br />
As a first time webinar it had it's bumpy moments, but all in all I think it was successful and I look forward to attending the other two in the series.<br />
<br />
As a test for his blog, <a href="http://handmadeology.com/pro/" style="color: blue;">Handmadeology Pro</a>, I think it was a tight little demo well worth the subscription price of $10.00 a month.<br />
<br />
The thing about Tim Adam is that he's just so gall darned cute! And he really seems to have a passion for helping others achieve their dreams as entrepreneurial artisans. His sincerity shines out. <br />

Not too long ago, if I'd brought home a take of $80.00 for a show I'd paid $55.00 to get into, I wouldn't have been "thrilled" but I wouldn't have been bummed either. And I'm learning to be mad at me for making such a dumb mistake!<br />
<br />
When am I going to learn that just because I live in a sea resort area doesn't mean what I have will sell at a sea resort show?? Please! Someone! Next time I think about a summer beach show, someone slap me?<br />

About half of my garden has now now gone to seed. But that's a good thing! Having only purchased Heirloom Seeds this past winter, it's exactly what I've been waiting for! We've had a wonderful bounty of lettuce, peas and beans. The broccoli, not so much. 80( I started out with 12 healthy seedlings. Most were gobbled up by some yucky looking caterpillars. But 4 remained to grow into lush plants. But of those 4, only one developed a head! So, I carefully watched it and saved it and let go to seed. The only problem was, when the flowers dried up and fell off I couldn't find any seeds! I think I waited too long to harvest them. By the time I went to do so the pods had already fallen off. Next year I need to look for things that look like they might be unopened flowers that have turned brown. Apparently they are the seed pods. So, I live and I learn.<br />

</div><b>The Cabin</b><br />
Last fall, while wandering through Lowes, we stumbled upon a display of outdoor braziers and indoor wood stoves. I fell in love with this funky little cast iron number, and since it was relatively inexpensive, we decided to buy it for the cabin. Since I live in the woods and we need to cut fire wood anyway, we figured it would be a great solution to the "electric space heater problem".<br />

Tom priced stove piping and discovered that it's (to us) astronomically expensive. So, being the mason that he is, he is building me a chimney! And, right beside the steps on the deck is the beginning of a respectable wood pile. It's up on blocks because every once in a blue moon the creek floods and we wouldn't want our hard earned firewood to float down to the sea!<br />

<b>The Cane Cozies</b><br />
I'm working away on the concept of the Cane Handle Cozies. I'd figured out a way of attaching buckram to one side and then using velcro as a closure. I wasn't happy with it. It was still bulky and I didn't like the way it looked when it was fastened. So, on I go, looking for the perfect solution.<br />

<b>The Art</b><br />
<br />
I spent yesterday afternoon <b>trying</b> to sew cane handle cozies on my sewing machine. Of course, the tension <i style="font-weight: bold;">on the bottom, inside the workings</i> went all wonky and I ended up spending a frustrated afternoon! So, one of today's tasks it to solve this and get on with sewing my cozies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I pulled a muscle in my left shoulder over the weekend. I don't know what I did, but it's a darn nuisance! As it's early morning, I'm hoping it loosens up as I move around.</div><div><br />

In 2000 we got our goats and then we had to adapt to the learning of curve of, "if goats can find a way out, they will." and the first place they would head was the veggie garden. Then, in 2002 I became sick with Lyme disease and was ill for 4 years. So there was no gardening during that time. Last year we tried again but were not so successful. THIS YEAR we decided that we would make a team effort, work together and see if we could really make it work this time. Jeepers! Such lushness! And yet another learning curve of, "how can we make it better next year!?!"<br />

<b>THE BIZ;</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
I've been working on a new idea. I'm developing what I call a "Cane Handle Cozy" My first attempt was a knitted cozy that slipped over the handle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-XiZT10lRBSZwRDFueuv6gWT4D29zZaoB0Np1vFuTQ0TS0A1xg5DeSi4AIotkEAfE58AFFWYREM3U5E-aBC5iek14c2Sc7FjM3b-iQ4AsY_hsZZxIHaDzH5H8mH-XIMC9IFj6v4DPux6/s1600/DSCN0816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-XiZT10lRBSZwRDFueuv6gWT4D29zZaoB0Np1vFuTQ0TS0A1xg5DeSi4AIotkEAfE58AFFWYREM3U5E-aBC5iek14c2Sc7FjM3b-iQ4AsY_hsZZxIHaDzH5H8mH-XIMC9IFj6v4DPux6/s200/DSCN0816.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I asked people's opinion, the number one concern was the that the cozy would be slidey and folks would be uncomfortable, fearful of their grip slipping. And they were slippery that way.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h7ZTk6NYliYA9UKrF0MZ1gJ7NTu-FqCufd_s1t-zrNtmZX9idNM-WctOc-4ed69E3zz2-dyUM4yy_I0dL63I1BjgUQ3yafutxqjyBCTVNc5_WkVpz2_EQWxlpjC1GSGoJKLJiQBFRZHq/s1600/DSCN0967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-h7ZTk6NYliYA9UKrF0MZ1gJ7NTu-FqCufd_s1t-zrNtmZX9idNM-WctOc-4ed69E3zz2-dyUM4yy_I0dL63I1BjgUQ3yafutxqjyBCTVNc5_WkVpz2_EQWxlpjC1GSGoJKLJiQBFRZHq/s200/DSCN0967.JPG" width="193" /></a>So next attempt is made of handmade felt, lined with rubber. It sure<b> doesn't</b> slip! I still have to tweak it, but I should have a finished product really soon.<br />

This past May Tom and I drove to Maine to visit with my sister, Ginni, and her husband, David. On the day that I went on my "Progressive Loon Hunt" David introduced Tom to Steven Mitchel, owner and head dean of the Maine School of Masonry. One, Steven says, of only two private post high school masonry schools in the country.<br />

On our way out of town, driving to visit with Tom's cousin on the coast of Maine, we stopped by the school, in Avon. I got to meet to Steve and take some photos of his student's recently completed final exam projects.<br />

He gave us a tour and showed us the dorm rooms he had built into the school building. He has beds for 8 students. (Sorry, no photos of the dorms.) The students can simply roll out of bed, drink their coffee and enter the class rooms without ever going outside!<br />
<br />
"Mitch" as he is commonly called, is a great guy with a love of the craft and a love for teaching. When he talks about his students you can see it.<br />

<b><br />
</b><br />
19 days ago I began putting eggs into the incubator that I borrowed from a kindergarten teacher friend of mine. I was soooo careful to set it up right and follow all the directions. I marked on the calendar when I was supposed to take the first egg out of the turner and place it gently on the screening on the bottom the incubator. This morning, I stretched and rolled and thought, today I move the first egg! And in a terrible blast of cognition, I realized I had NEVER put the water in the reservoir at the very bottom! I have probably cooked all my chicks. (no exclamtion point. It's too sad for an exclamation point.)<br />
<br />
Well, I'll move the egg anyway, AFTER I put water in the reservoir. And I'll begin putting new eggs in the incubator today. Maybe in another 21 days I'll have chicks. Who knows, maybe I'll have a new chick in 3 days. It's been very humid here. Only God knows. We'll see.<br />

I visited festivalnet.com on Saturday and found a craft show listed in Surf City on Long Beach Island. It's being put on by the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><a href="http://jccoflbi.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> JCC of LBI</span></a> </span>on Sunday, August 21. Just for ha has I emailed them asking there were any open spaces, and, Shazam! There were two spaces left! At $55 I felt it was worth the gamble and I bought one. Now I have 3 weeks to prepare. Eek!<br />

Most of the canes I see on Etsy are beautiful in different ways. And for those who cherish the beauty of natural woods, there are plenty to choose from. But my canes make a different statement. I strive for “eye popping whimsey”. Whether a customer considers my work folk art, decorative painting, fine craft, my goal is to paint something that delights the eye.</span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The second part, but not the second in importance is that I include words of inspiration, cunningly incorporated, as a puzzle. Each puzzle cane has a snippet of scripture or of a popular prayer, written in such a way that, in order to read it easily, you must know the “key”.</span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 21px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">What is it that you do well and consistently deliver to your customers?</span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 21px;">My number one desire is to delight my customers.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">When I arranged with my sister to come and spend some time with her at her beautiful home in Western Maine, one of the questions she asked me was, "What is one thing that you really want to do or see?"</div><br />
<br />
It didn't take me more than a minute to respond, "I want to see and/or hear a loon!" I've been a birder most of my life and although I'd been to Maine a couple of times already, I'd never seen or heard a loon.<br />
<br />
A couple of days after my request Ginni emailed me the exciting news, "I have some friends who live on lakes. We can go kayaking and they guarantee you'll see a loon!"<br />
<br />
(Now, I'd never met her friends, but I've lived with me all my life and I know, when hearing a phrase like that I'm pretty much sure I won't see a loon.) But, ever hopeful, I got excited and looked forward to not only seeing my loon but meeting my sister's friends as well.<br />
<br />
Ginni, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is a yoga instructor and the ladies who so fervently assured me of a loon viewing are all members of her Thursday afternoon class in Rangeley, Maine.<br />
<br />
<div>Our first stop was to visit Jeannine, (a poster artist) who lives on Long Pond, in a wonderfully funky cabin that was originally built in the 1960s. It's filled with wonderful art, a mad collection of fabulous antique furnishings and the most amazing view of the lake! Dawn, another yoga enthusiast joined us there as well.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Notice the ripples in the water? It was very windy all day long. Not a good day for small craft boating! 80( But we got the binoculars out and scanned and scanned. And Ginni was pretty sure she saw one! Just near this lovely point. But look as I might, I couldn't see one. But what I did see was wonderful! And Jeannine was a gracious host, providing wine and snacks and introducing us to her newest small furry doggie friend.<br />
<br />
After this, the first leg of our adventure, we jumped in our cars and drove over to the home of Ainsley and Dolly. They live on Loon Lake. (Sounds like a likely spot, eh?) Ainsley and Dolly live a log cabin, right on the edge of Loon Lake, with their four dogs. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ainsley is an artist, working as stone turner. She makes exquisite bowls, bottles and vases. Her studio is in a little cabin that sits right next to her home. <a href="http://www.sherocks.net/"> www.sherocks.net</a><br />

We stood on the dock and scanned the coves for signs of loonage. We did actually think we'd seen a couple, but they turned out to be something in the water that wasn't moving. That's a dead giveaway that they aren't alive. But we went inside, met Mr. Dawn and got to see her little cubby of a stained glass space.
