What can I say....

I haven't blogged for a time, mostly because I do not know what to say. I have no particular insights. I have a busy life. But I have a beautifully remodelled bathroom.

It is pretty much white tile. But my husband, Mal and I liked the pebble borders in the store so we spent a bit extra to get it. We had planned to put a horizontal border near the top. As practicality would have it we needed the extra width a border would create so also added a vertical line down one side and of course the two lines intersected near the top. This added a real neat effect.

However, we got a bonus. God is an amazing interior decorator. It may have been divine practicality. You see, now when I sit on my lounge and look through the bathroom door, I see a perfectly proportioned stone cross exactly framed by the door. The afternoon sun streams in the window onto this cross. Wow.

We could have never orchastrated it much less thought of the idea ourselves. What can I say?

My! how time flies!

I am amazed that my last post was so long ago. I can hardly keep up. In fact, I am not keeping up and trail behind. I imagine that being sick and having the hard drive to my computer die had something to do with being behind. But it is very difficult not to take it on board and begin to feel like it is all about my being a failure.

I am a capable "cracked pot" just a bit behind. That would be the truth that I pull out of my truth box. I am capable not because, I am a great person or anything but because God has given me gifts and because of the gifts, in those areas, I am capable. Or rather God is capable, I am just the cracked pot.

However, I still sometimes feel the pressure of the world trying to tell me otherwise. I hear the world say "We don't want you" or "Can't you keep up?" and other cruel things. But that is all right, let them sing. I have a box of truth to look at.
