TeePee?

This was the surprise waiting for us. Spark struck AGAIN! This is an army parachute, one strong enough to drop a jeep. We haven't figure out what it would be good for but it sure is HUGE.

And standing inside and looking up.

Spark measuring the width by stepping it off. It isn't quite staked down yet but sure is impressive.

Mark helped take the Bibles to Skyline, so great to have a strong man help with the heavy boxes. After he was dropped off back at work it was time to visit Aldi for groceries and wouldn't you know I forgot AGAIN about buying drugs, no aspirin, tylenol or ibuprofen. Why can't I remember to buy those? Once home, I started a book David asked me to give back to Rachel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins titled John's Story the Last Eye Witness.
John the only disciple who was not martyred and yet he was boiled in oil and sentenced to hard labor on the Isle of Patmos. John who Jesus loved, John who took Mary as his own mother, John the dearly beloved of the Lord.
How we long to be called beloved by the Lord. The book was finished and brought much reflection.
Do me a favor, blow quickly saying "HA", do you see the vapor and how quickly it dissipates? That is our lives here. Each year flies by quicker than the last, only those things done for Jesus will last.
Where can one be released from the burdens of this life? There really is only one who can lift our burdens. To those depressed and so weary of this life, there is one who writes take MY yoke as My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Makes one wonder what IS really important in this life? Our outward appearance that will wrinkle and fade before we realize it or the One who lives in our heart, the One we worship, the One we willingly submit to.

  1. Hmm. Yes, sometimes it is the very ones who believe the most that have the toughest road. Something to ponder isn't it.
