Hubby

My poor hubby. He has had a knot on his elbow for a couple of weeks. Now, I come home from work and it is very swollen. I made an appointment for him tomorrow. I hope they are able to determine what it is and it's not serious. I don't want to go home to my family reunion with him ill. Right now he is in bed with a DVD and the heating pad.

Praying it's nothing serious!

Proverbs 24

Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellers there is safety.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Sad

It's been rough today. A friend and former co-worker passed away yesterday. I have know Bill for 15 years and adored him. He had been hospitalized with a viral infection that had paralyzed him. He had been moved out of ICU and was regaining his movement in his hands. He had a heart attacked and passed yesterday. We shared the same birthday. Exactly 10 years apart.

It's hard to imagine that he is gone. Hard to imagine that I'll no longer receive e-mails asking about the hot weather here in Texas. No more "H&K, Bill"

I know you are in good hands, Bill. I miss you much..

Ethel

I started this blog in honor of my grandmother Ethel. She taught me many things and now I want to try and walk in her shoes, so to speak. I miss her dearly and feel her presence daily.

I keep her bible close at hand and her spirit close to my heart.

This is the start o f my biblical walk.

Psalm 112

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 112

 1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
 2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
 3Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
 4Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
 5A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
 6Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
 7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
 8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
 9He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
 10The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
