In order to improve this community, here on WordPress, I’m now taking suggestions of what you think I should write about more…

As writing is what I do, there are many different directions that I can take, in an effort to bring you more encouragement and love. Having so many choices can often be more of a hinderance than a help, so I thought I’d ask you guys and gals.

I know I don’t do politics, drama, or doom and gloom, but outside of that, I’m open to suggestions from my community. What would you enjoy reading more often? I could take more pictures of my trail walks, tell more of the antics going on in the Barnyard, or maybe do another Live Novel. I write so much already, I sometimes wonder if you get worn out, while trying to keep up with it all.

You are my community, like it or not, so if I can improve anyone’s life by writing things down here, I wish to make the utmost effort! All that I offer here should be positive, loving, and edifying; bringing good to those who read the words on the screen in front of them.

To assist in your selection of what to choose, I’ve offered some ideas:

A.) Fun

B.) Biblical History

C.) Antics

D.) My Journey

I’ve left some cookies below, so don’t eat the ones on the ground above… they’ve been sitting there for too long!

I’m not sure which one goes before the other, adapting or surviving? Can one even allow those two things to exist in the same plane of thought?

When I think on all that went life interruptus, from the moment of the shut down, there isn’t a whole lot of adapting that went on. We lost our livelihood, our nest egg and our home, along with everything we could not carry, as the Sherriff stood at our door with an eviction notice!

Currently, we still exist within a 32 foot RV that has no working toilet or hot water. Again, is it adapting or surviving?

It’s difficult to assess whether there is much adapting mixed in with all the fear, distrust and hiding that continues to occur these days. I suppose the answer depends on how a person experienced things. Some got sick, while some died, and from this arose such a level of ugliness among humans toward one another… fear, distrust and outright hatred. Somehow, surviving in the wilderness, seems a safer bet than trying to adapt to such an unhappy society. If you are someone who experienced loss of any kind, due to Covid, using the word adapting seems almost like adding insult to injury!

I think that the word adapting seems far from fitting! I can thing of a number of other words to describe how people have handled Covid, like overcoming or healing, or even recovering. Has the world adapted yet, or does survival still seem like a better word?

Let’s face it! None of us jumps out of bed with bells and whistles on, at least no one that I’m familiar with! My first hour of the day is usually a whole lot of stumbling, mumbling, and groaning. I’m not normally able to bring my brain onboard til after my first cup of coffee.

There you have it folks, hot off the press! She drinks coffee for the first hour of her day! I do have one morning ritual that supersedes all other actions and/or behaviors. When I first rouse from sleep, I lay in the darkness praying for a few moments. While I’m drinking that cup of coffee for the first hour of my day, I am studying within the word of God. Without reading and praying first, the rest of my day seems worthless and dull.

I get to answer this way, because the prompt asked, so sharing about my time with God was not unsolicited.

I’ll still give you a cookie though…

It’s Easter Sunday, so I’ll only be stopping by this daily prompt for a moment. In answer to the question, I believe that choices are what make humans unique! We’re all created by God’s design, to reflect His image, lovingly formed by His very own hands! From there, our choices are what shape us into the person we become.

This bible verse came to mind, when I was looking at the prompt question, so I decided to share! Have a blessed Easter Sunday!

However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” — but God has revealed it to us by His spirit.

The spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God. We have not received the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2: 9-13

I think it would be absolutely fantastic if we could come up with a dance move called “The Wiwohka!”

Basically, it’d be the name you can give to people when they question your style of dance. The stranger, the better! Preferably, you can form your style into that of an inebriated surfer, riding the waves of the music, as if you’re being stalked by a great white!

Try it! It’ll be fun for the whole family!

Here, have a boogie cookie…

There’s nothing like a good movie, to get me giggling! Not just any movie will do, as most movies out now-a-days are filled with everyone’s drama, dirty laundry and dark schemes. That’s not funny at all! I have enough crap that goes on around my own life, why would I take pleasure in watching everybody else’s trainwrecks?

I’m talking the oldies but goodies, like Abbot and Costello, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Harvey Corman, and so many others. The never-ending list of pricelessly funny old movies goes on and on. We all have our favorite go-to movies to lift our spirits and bring out the laughter! Those old movies made things funny without doing it at the expense of another’s feelings. Those were the days, before everything seems to offend someone or other, and it was just simply funny!

I long for the days, where one could just laugh at a thing without fear of offending others, or being slapped with a label! Newsflash!!! Sometimes a thing is just funny, because it is! The funny isn’t the problem, it’s what we do with it when we see it, hear it, or read it… not everything has nefarious motives!

Laughter was meant, and has been used for, lifting the spirit and spreading happiness! Whatever makes you laugh from deep within your belly, usually accompanied by a snort or possibly passing gas loudly… it’s gotta be good for us!

Here, have a Friday Fruit Tart…

I almost used the song off that children’s show, Barney, where they repeatedly sing “the list goes on and on my friend.” I decided not to go down that musical rabbit hole, as I’ve work to do this morning. I chose, instead to offer up myself for this lovely prompt inquiry that rolled off the WordPress rolodex.

Before you start thinking this might be a negative, let me assure you that it’s not! It’s an impossibility for a soul to know everything about everybody!

Besides, I don’t want most people to understand me, rather, I would prefer just a few souls that really desire to know the real me… the one beneath the surface.

As there have only been 2 takers on this offer, for many years now, I am a patient person, in this regard. The ones who stand the test of time, weather the storms, and invest the effort, I will greet with open arms. The thing is, my arms are only so long, therefore, any interested parties have to actually draw near enough to participate!

One thing is for sure, I do know that most of the people at WordPress have no clue about how to offer a decent prompt question, nor do they understand the writers to whom they pose these ridiculous questions. Maybe they should assign someone from their corporate office to answer the questions each day, same as us! I bet the questions would change in a hot minute!

Here, eat some cookies, but don’t eat the one in the middle cause it’d be weird …

What a silly question to ask in this day and age! I’ve no intention of wasting my time explaining things that everyone already knows. Besides, what I do isn’t considered a job… it’s my passion, my purpose! A job is something one gets paid to do, in dollars and cents, which is something I’ve never received for any of my efforts. I birthed and raised my children for nothing, served in the church til my fingers bled for nothing, and chased after caring for others needs before my own… for nothing! Technology changing made no difference in any of those categories.

I’ve worked in paid positions, attained a college education, and benefited from technological advancement in both, but we all have, so this prompt question is STUPID! If you know how to use Google then you’re fully aware of how far we’ve come… nuff said!

Here is an advanced cookie…

The goals set before me, rarely encounter interference from a physical obstacle. I live in a 32 foot RV with no brakes, no running hot water or a flushing toilet. In terms of actual contact, I encounter my husband and my Chica, but nobody else, so I don’t often see any reason to say no, about much of anything.

My goals are set by my heavenly father, and I DO NOT say no to Him about anything… regardless! This is my path and my choice!

As I am well versed in things always flying at me, they don’t really seem to interfere with the goals set before me, because my goals face obstacles in a spiritual plane… way different from the physical ones! Again… my choice!

The beauty of it is… those things that interfere with earthly goals are usually where my opportunity to obey God comes fully into play. Since God says that He will bring good out of everything, for His purpose, I think that I’m in the right place… directly within the shadow of the Almighty!

If I told you, it would no longer be a secret!
