September 13. The morning went by so quickly, but it doesn’t seem like I did much. Got a couple birthday cards ready — put one in the mail and one in my Bible. Looked through Ingles ad and made weekly shopping list. Prepared chicken and rice for Daddy’s dinner. Proofread and sent a chapter of The Isles Are Singing to Connie, and completed another chapter. This afternoon, I started on another. Pastor Ogle’s message this evening was on “Meeting with God” in Exodus 24, a good message showing how a holy God desires to have fellowship with lowly man. “Is any thing too hard for the LORD?” Genesis 18:14a Although so many things are too hard for us, we know of a surety that nothing is too hard for the Lord. September 14. Quite a day! Daddy and I both overslept. The numbers on the clock were 6:36 when I woke up. Hurry, hurry! Take a shower. Get dressed. Have quiet time and breakfast. Get ready to go shopping. Last night while I was busy doing something else, my computer decided that it would do some updating. In the process the Avast “Behavior Shield”, in guise of protecting me from the ransomware, “stole” all my memory so I couldn’t do a thing with my computer after that. We did eventually manage to get my computer shut down for the night. We waited until Connie got up this morning before we tried turning on the computer so she could see if she could disable the behavior shield. The computer took forever to boot up, but finally managed. Connie was stumped at first about how to disable the behavior shield — they wouldn’t let her do it. At first we thought we were going to have to take the computer to Office Depot for help. Finally, however, Connie thought about disabling the internet. Then she was able to permanently disable the behavior shield. And then she enabled the internet again. When that was finally done, I remembered I needed a coupon for Hobby Lobby so printed one from Daddy’s computer. Then we headed out a little after 9:00. By that time, I was tired out and ready to go back to bed. But off we went. (Connie said that she went back to bed after we left.) We hit four stores today and still arrived back home around 11:30. Aldi first; then WalMart; Hobby Lobby for some white yarn to finish the flag afghan — just the border left to do now. And last of all, Ingles. Connie had called us when we were at WalMart to have us get her some vinyl gloves, but the phone never rang. We didn’t see the missed call until we were on our way home and I was calling her to open the door for us. About the only thing I did on the computer today was backups. Spent a lot of time resizing pictures before backing them up so they wouldn’t take up too much space on the flash drive. All kinds of things were going on in the neighborhood today too. Three dogs roaming the streets together. Sherriff delivering papers to one of the houses. Two people stopping at the house across the street at separate times — each had the same car. Emergency vehicles going by. A former neighbor went by when we arrived home from shopping; said hello, and asked about the house across the street. Etc., etc. It was some kind of day. I’m so glad the Lord is in control and gives grace. We have much for which to be thankful. “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.” Genesis 18:19 The LORD knew Abraham. He knew that Aabraham believed Him and would obey Him. (See Genesis 15:6) The LORD knew that Abraham would command his children and his household after him so that they too would be obedient to the LORD, and would do justice and judgment. The LORD knows me too. What would He say about me? Would He say that I believe and obey Him? Would He say that my children could follow my example? Would they keep the way of the LORD because of what they see in my life?
