Day 7

Day 7, August 9

Woke up to fog this morning in the air outside and in our minds.  We were between a CT Scan and a “call me in the morning.”  We managed coffee and prayer together then made the call.  Diverticulitis!  Sounds better than gall bladder surgery.  We need to pick up another med in Guyton and see the doctor Monday morning, and Google diverticulitis.  Both fogs have lifted.

I read Social Media Guide for Ministry and found much more than I expected.  Using social media is not just posting signs about events.  It is beginning conversations.  Conversations lead to relationships and relationships are what a faith community is all about.  Jesus said, “Go,” and, “Tell.”  What better way than the information superhighway?

Made another trip to Guyton to pick up Kay’s additional antibiotic.  Picked up mail and a few others things from the house while there.

The last two evenings with DB have been about possessions.  He points out that worrying is directed toward tomorrow.  We worry about having enough stuff to make us worry-free.  But the treasures we covet produce more worries.  So securing things for tomorrow makes us insecure today.  Sit down in the grass at the foot of the mountain and listen to Jesus.  “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.  Today’s trouble is enough for today.

I am tired. It is dark enough to go to bed and to put tomorrow completely into God’s hand.
