Just sayin': June 2014

Thursday, June 26, 2014. When we send out formal invitations, to whom do we send them and for what reason? In Isaiah 55:1, the God of the Universe, who owns everything, sent out an invitation to a specific group of people: to those who were thirsty (parched) and who were flat busted, broke. The reason they had no money was because they had spent it on all the wrong things. (v.2). Yet God simply extends an invitation. We may think that we have the currency of Heaven and that we can haul our burlap bags of...

Just sayin': April 2015
http://cathie-justsayin.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. How Sure Is Your Footing? I thought I had an infinite ability to be lazy. Now I realize that I'm just a marathon type of lazy person. (Oxymoron) and not an infinite slug. So this time around, I diagnosed my own foot problem - similar pains except this time it is in my heel instead of the arch of my foot. I dragged out a couple of inserts I bought way back when and wore them over time until I realized each one was making my pain worse instead of better. So yesterday I sat around a...

Sunday, March 15, 2015. Okay I blame this on the fact that I stayed up last night until 1 am working on a murder mystery plot. Seriously. She said her husband was having to work out of town this past week and although he would come home for the weekend, she just felt like she needed something to do and she'd been thinking about going back to church for a while. (She was raised in church as a kid but that was some decades ago). Hi Ho, Hi Ho. it's off to church we go. As we're walking out to the car, she e...

Just sayin': September 2014
http://cathie-justsayin.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. A Crazy Week. A New Day. A week where I got to hold my sister's first living grandchild which was overwhelming, partly because of the promise of new life as this little one is the tip of a long, sometimes wondrous, sometimes torturous family history and yet by God's grace, she is here and her life is an unwritten page that holds great promise. And, um, a neighbor who could win the curmudgeon award of the year. Yeah. That would be gossip. So, no, my visits are not...But God i...

Just sayin': Life Lesson from a Chihuahua...
http://cathie-justsayin.blogspot.com/2015/05/life-lesson-from-chihuahua.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Life Lesson from a Chihuahua. I'm sitting here with an (almost) toothless chihuahua wrapped in a baby blanket and resting on my lap. She's pretty clueless. We can bribe her (most of the time) into taking care of business in the front yard; however. she still has her "on purposes" inside the house from time to time. She supplants Buddie, our other indoor dog who has all his teeth and outweighs her by ten pounds, by making. Him get off his favorite pillow. How? That's all she does!

Just sayin': October 2014

Thursday, October 16, 2014. Take a Bite Out of Evil. Sitting in my favorite armchair this morning, reading my devotional and praying, when Phil came in with the newspaper and offhandedly said, "Well, it looks like the devil is winning.". Terrorists butchering people overseas and kidnapping innocent young people. War and rumors of war. Tales of terrorists trying to infiltrate our own country. Ebola spreading like wildfire in Africa and now within our own borders. And then there is the human heart. With ev...

Just sayin': July 2014
http://cathie-justsayin.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Candlelight in Central Park. Perhaps I should rename this blog - Gushings from a Geriatric. Or maybe Pre-Ramblings from a Post Menopausal? There are some days when I'd like to go back in time; you may know what I'm talking about: return to the good old days when a head cold seemed like a serious illness, back before I became acquainted with Tylenol Extra Strength Arthritis Elixir of Life (or whatever it is called). Back when I thought my 40th birthday was. As the years go by, life ...
