It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Mental Meanderings

I have a severe headache and have taken my pain meds, so am a bit fuzzy, but I do want to get an entry out each day as much as possible. I believe God uses these ramblings to touch people now and again... Only He knows. It will be interesting to discover all that during my walk through eternity. I know others' blogs bless me... Pastor Rob, Joe (who has new entries) Eva and more.

I heard from Eva again today! She sent a slew of pictures in her e-mail... and she is posting to her blog again as well. Their new house is lovely and she always keeps things neat and orderly... a sign of good stewardship, I believe. I am often not as good a steward as I'd like to be... especially with my car. I am not fond of cleaning my car. I like it to BE clean, I just hate to DO the cleaning.

It's funny, back in my truck driving days, I kept my tractor immaculate inside and out, and even though I usually pulled other people's trailers, I kept them spotless as well. Still, even then I was not as good at keeping my car clean. I imagine James and Eva's vehicles are kept nice and clean.

Richard usually washes my car and his pickup; when I do it, I go to the automatic car wash. I have not been back, though, since the time I went through it with the driver's window down. It's just a coincidence; I'm not afraid to go back, nor do I have any "bad" feelings about it.

My day was busy but I got little done... again. I did some experimenting with my Magic Bullet (as seen on TV) and really love it! I used the juicer part this morning, making a great frothy drink of big globe grapes and orange juice. Very tasty! I rarely buy stuff sold on TV, but one trip to Stanford, Donna and I saw the infomercial for the Magic Bullet and she ordered one, and got another one for the same money. We split the costs, and I am surprised to say it is worth every penny. I am quite impressed at all it does.

So, now that I've meandered into all sorts of mental side streets, I'll leave you with this thought... Life is great because a great God is the giver of life. I have decided to be happy. That is a choice, you know... and in that area, I am pro-choice. I am pro-choice for happiness and life.
