Busy Day



Get the phone call.
Make some plans.
Mom puts money
In my hands.

Doorbell rings.
Then I see them.
They'll take me
To the museum.

After a while,
We get there.
Open the doors.
Pay the fare.

Look at exhibits
Before our show.
After some looks,
Downstairs we go.

We decide
To buy a snack.
I choose popcorn
Off the rack.



Go in the theater.
Watch the movie.
It's about a river.
It really moved me.

We look around
A little more.
See the planets
And dinosaurs.

Lunch was later
Than we thought.
Water and a bagel
Was what I bought.

We'll be at another place
Before our eyes.
It's another museum
But it's kid-sized!



There's a tummy, a tree house
And a cafe, too.
A garden with a river.
(Goodbye, shoe!)

After a while,
We go home.
And say "Goodbye!"
To the IMAX dome.

I see a second blog being created sooner than later. I think she likes this blogging business, not to mention she's good at it.

(Will one day a week be enough for her adoring fans?)

Kudos!

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
