Me, yet again. I Praise God for His goodness!
My parents and I saw the eclipse together today, in the yard. Fun times. Mama's making a good meal as I write this. God is good!
Some redneck neighbors heckled me a bit, yet again. I dunno. I see now how good God is, even just by looking over my own life. "Losers" in America are...well, sadly, a dime a dozen. I was labeled a "loser" by age 13 or so. I used to think...how terrible, and now I realize...yeah, well...yes, it --is-- terrible, and it also happens to a whole lot of people. Schools--especially public schools--seem to create losers, criminals, deviants, just as surely as they help equip some students for a lifetime of success. Happens.
OK. So, again: this --is-- a Praise Report, at least in part. I got to see a once-in-a-lifetime eclipse today, and I was expected to be dead 10 years ago. Boom. God is good! My parents got those eclipse glasses off amazon a while back, back when they were still cheap....amazing. The way everything cooled off for a lil bit, and...yeah. God is good, and very much on The Throne, isn't He?
Prayer request...of course, LOL. At this point, The Lord has willed that I have 0 physical health problems. Predictably, I need to work out, but...yeah. I'm remarkably healthy. I don't even have any premature aging, which...wow. Sounds vain, I guess, but life is easier when you're healthy and look a tad younger than your age.
But...I do ask that those of you who pray for my family+me keep it up, if you don't mind. I honestly don't know what the future holds for me. J-o-b? Good idea, but...where? I'm thoroughly stigmatized around here and, honestly...I see now that part of God's work in my life has been to make me someone completely different from who and what my own sins, plus this community, created. Not surprisingly...that "rubs people the wrong way," to put it mildly.
OK. I'm finished ((for now)). Thanks again.
