Today is raining. It is also getting cooler. So, I put on a new sweater that I had bought last winter. I got it on sale and it was too warm to wear it so it stayed in my closet until today. The strange part of all of this is that somehow putting that new sweater on made me feel a little bit better. I am sure that this manifests some sort of psychological problem in me but nevertheless it did pick me up a bit. I don’t like to admit it but I am way too emotional for my own good. It has gotten me into trouble at various points in my life. On of the truly great features of growing older is how I have learned to not react as much to what is happening. I find that I am much more mellow and easy going than I was as a ‘youngster.’ Of course, God is not through with me yet. I still need to be more secure in myself whether I am wearing a new sweater or an old one. Something for me to think about today.
October 24th, 2008 at 9:04 am Pastor Ron, I was going to tell you that I liked your sweater and you looked very nice! I should have. I want to tell you how much you and Phyllis mean to me and my family. I thank God everyday that you are in our lives. You both have helped me grow closer to God. I know I love going to church and listening to both of you. I won’t speak for my kids, you know how they are. But Rob really enjoys it as well and I am thankful you are also our friends. I am looking forward to going out for hamburgers on our next adventure! Happy Friday, Laura Bolton
