Only one week left of June.

I have to reflect on the speed of the weeks, months years that pass. My attitude has been so angry and negative about another desert summer. Here June is almost over and the dog days will get heavily laden with the intensity of 110+ heat. How Can I get through it if I don't change my attitude? So I must choose to do so.

Top 10 things I like about Summer Here......

1) Air conditioning and the ability to pay the bill for it.

2) Staying home and being calm without all the running around (There are less people out when your on the roads, all the tourist have gone home).

3) Ice water, opening the freezer to get the ice is a treat.

4) Pretending like I'm snow bound and doing lots of craft projects because its so cold outside.

5) Lazy days that have an excuse (the heat wears you out) Planning gardens for the fall .

6) My car in the garage cools down faster and my hands don't get burnt.

7) Lots of groceries in the freezer so I don't have to go out and when I do the stores are cold in the freezer sections.

8) Lots of supplies for projects so I don't have to go out. I get jobs done that I put off when i can be outdoors in the late fall/winter/spring ( if and when the inversion is not so bad as to light up my asthma).

9) Air conditioning in my car and not having to depend on a bus or others.

10) Less laundry because shorts and sleeveless tops make smaller piles (in theory).

Please help by listing your top 10 things you like about Desert Summers

I'm trying to think proactive but it is so hard. I do not to I do and can.....

(I don't think I can come up with 10 - these will be a stretch as it is...)
1.I don't have to shovel my car out of the driveway.

2. I don't have to de-ice my car windows.

3. I love to watch the summer monsoons roll in and listen to the thunder (but don't really like the dust storms and humidty they bring.)

4. Hmmm.... Swimming.

5. It really makes me appreciate air conditioning.

That's it. That's all I can come up with.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
