I rose this morning & knew what Holy Spirit spoke to my heart as a task to complete early this morning. I sought Holy Spirit further to give me a scripture verse. All I heard was 1 John 19. I looked it up in my bible. So, there are more than 1-chapter that has verse 19's. So, I read them all since All I heard was 1 John 19. Chapter 2: 19 "They left us. However, they were never really part of us. If they had been, they would have stayed with us. But by leaving they made it clear that none of them were part of us." Chapter 3: 19 " This is how we will know we belong to the truth and how we will be reassured of his presence." Chapter 4:19 "We love because God loved us first." Chapter 5:19: "We know that we are from God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."
"I am now sitting beside the lake the pictures are taken and you can see I was pretty near to the water's edge. You could get a camping permit if you wanted to camp there. I love the signs that say to not feed the animals. So iconic. Even @ the close of the day it is 93 degrees outside temperature.
I met a pastor a few months ago that was going to ordain me thru his church. No strings attached; no fees charged either. I submitted all the info he required of me as ministry background info I had. I actually created a "Volunteer Resume" years ago & I have used it along with my work history resume at times when applying for a job if I felt the further info would assist them in knowing who I am. So, there were 2 times this pastor said they would call me back & stated a day & 2 times they never followed through. It was yesterday I placed a phone call & thanked him for his willingness to bless me with ordaining me. In a nice manner I explained that I cannot be seated under a minister that does not follow through.
You may be thinking how harsh is that to judge even though it is said in a nice manner. Not so, if one is going to be ordained under a ministry then it has to be something in which you have equal ways of doing things. You know, if you are a person that follows through then be connected with one that follows through so there is not unnecessary frustration in your life. I graciously explained that if & when Holy Spirit wants me to be ordained, He will do it & guide me. I am @ peace; I am @ peace."
Some of the other pictures today are my makeshift garden because the deck was power washed and waiting to be painted. I had to adjust where the plants could be temporarily placed.

| Since I took this there is now a 3rd gardenia that bloomed. |

| Doing my share to take care of neighborhood Japanese beetles. |

| Here is one of the leaves from the tree that is already changing colors. It is much more vibrant in person then what the picture portrays it to be. Going to go pick the 4gardenias now so the fragrance fills the house. |
