[PRAYER] all this and the girl too
Posted by: bandaddie <bandaddie@...>
shampoo my home's carpeting. The shampooer shorted, caught fire, sent 110
volts through my bare feet, up out my right hand, back into the machine.
Filled the house with smoke and made a general mess.
This past weekend a sudden wind storm knocked open a loading dock door, and
took out a speaker stack (inside an auditorium, of all places), destroying 5
of my best speaker/instrument cables. They are beyond repair, with shorts
somewhere hidden along their length.
Lost a source of income for a month. Need to pay off debt incurred by
Kazahkstan mission trip.
Working on a new song but am stuck with musical issue which my limited
education will not resolve. Unable to find answer anywhere.
Really need a friend to talk to, and not about babies and house hold
troubles.
Prayed over night for a little help. Need a little cash to effect repairs.
Need a knowledgable teacher. Need cables fast, by tonight's gig.
Going through a migraine episode, Chocolate helps some. They tend to give me
an unwarranted feeling of uncontrollable depression.
I went to the beach to surf away my troubles but the reports of good surf
prooved faulse. I am hating life, just a bit.
On the way back from the beach, i stopped at the post office. Found a
package from a dear brother containing 3 cables, a high quality lesson book
and CD on bass which contained answer to my musical problem and enough cash
to pay off that debt.
I took Zu-Zu and Tara to beach with me. While there I did what I usually do,
look out to sea and talk to God. They had a great time, and very safely,
playing in the tidal pools.
I saw a pod of bottle nose and pilot whales way off, jumping high in the
air. They came in, right into the surf in front of me. Absolutely
spectacular! I love the beach in the off season. Don't have the share my
space. I have been kayaking and swimming with marine mammals many times but
never tire of them. They have a way of reaffirming my faith and restoring my
wounded heart. A young lady walked by, stopped and asked what I was looking
at. I showed her and lead her into the surf to interact with them. She told
me she was a grad student from U. Kanasas, and had spent her whole life in
the big city and never saw anything like that before. We sat down and
chatted for 2.5 hrs. She is getting her teaching cert and wants to teach
over seas, maybe in mission schools. I am not ashamed to say, i love
chatting up a bird. It's a safe hobby for me, Lord knows, and i know the
rules and bounds. Don't give me flack, I am not tempted. She asked me about
adult life and my experiences. I witnessed. OK? I gave her the names of
people she needed to contact for her hopes, and gave her warnings and
advice, since she seemed quite niave. I feel much better for the sharing and
fellowship.
Got home. Told Mrs B about it all, and I mean ALL. Girls, worn out, are
taking naps. Accounting is done. Help will be here tomorrow to help with
house. Mrs B and I will shortly have some quiet time. She just brought me
some fresh baked pecan/chocolate cookies.
Sometimes prayers are answered so fast my head spins.
Signing off for a while 😉
