Getting to know someone, really know them well, is a process, sometimes a life-long pursuit. When I lived in New Mexico I had two really close friends, both married, who took care of this ole spinster whether I needed it or not. We'd get together monthly, meeting at one of our favorite restaurants, and we'd spend almost the entire afternoon eating and chatting. How I miss those days! And the food, especially the food. I used to bug one of them, because she was constantly looking at her cell phone. I'm glad I'm not attached to my phone that much. Not even now. I forget about it, so if someone texts me to see if I'm available for a chat, it may be hours before I see it. Then I feel guilty when I don't receive a text back. I guess they had to move on to something else, or hopefully, someone else, a better friend than I am. I have an active life, so no one wants to bother me, because they don't know my schedule. So, I've told friends who say that to me to just call, and I'll pick up if I can, and if not, I will get back to them as soon as I can. Many times I can't pick up, but I do pay attention to phone calls more so than texts. Those little alerts, ding-ding-dings, are so annoying. I don't like group texts either (several repeated ding-ding-dings!) or group emails. What ever happened to picking up the phone and calling a body. I love my lap top, and I am very computer savvy, but I still like snail mail and phone calls. Better than that, I enjoy in person visits. Remember, I'm ancient, or, as I prefer, "old school!" I even use a pencil and paper!
Today, I've spent the majority of the day washing clothes and bed linens. I also threw in a couple of throw pillows and a pillow blanket. I had intended on vacuuming, but the day got by me, plus I made a homemade chicken and rice soup with green chili! I love green chili, which reminds me that I need to order my annual supply. When I plan my trip to New Mexico in a couple of months I won't be driving, so I won't be able to load up my car with green chili or big sacks of pinto beans. They are the best souvenirs one could purchase. I make due here in Virginia, because I am able to order whatever I need. Only thing is that it is way expensive, so I want to savor every bite. Since my son prefers the excess heat of the jalapenos that I planted and froze, my green chili supply is lasting a bit longer. I hiccup if chili is too hot for me, plus it's not enjoyable as the good burn.
Trying to ensure my blogs read well, I generally wait the next day to launch one, just in case I've a misspelled word, which I blame on spell check, as it has proven to be most unreliable. Also, I have to make sure that I haven't gone too badly off the deep end. I tend to have different ideas, and my focus is on Israel and prayer. I do have plans to go to the movie theater to see Part 1 of The Last Supper, Season 5 of The Chosen. I always book my seats, but normally, there are very few in attendance. I can't figure that one out, as the series has been so good, and it gives me things to think about, ask Jesus about, too. Of course He's right there with me, so my thoughts are heard by Him. I started watching The House of David, but I'm not certain what I think of it yet, except there's a lot of death and some witchcraft scenes that are bizarre. It does add some mysteries to the scriptures. Pastor Greg seems to enjoy it, so I'm giving it a chance. I understand that it's a series, like The Chosen, so they have to take theatrical liberty I suppose. I have always loved movies, but I've not had time for it, and it's not my first choice for what I can do with free time. Like I said, I'm a bit different.
Hopefully, this blog will fly. I'm trying to write, Lord, even if poorly. Enough musing. Shalom.
