My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Reflections

On a walk at Baker Pond Community Park in Springfield GA

If only we could all reflect so beautifully!

2. Speaking of walks, Robert and I spent the past week at our friend Gordon’s grandparents’ old farmhouse in Effingham County, and yesterday we had a beautiful little hike at the Effingham County Methodist Campgrounds.

That’s Robert in the distance, hallelujahing or something.

3. The ability to enjoy.

4. These incredibly beautiful and TALL sunflowers (“muck sunflowers”) we discovered on our little getaway to The Farm.

5. HR watering plants at The Farm.

May you water some Joy this Weekend, and bring it into Full Life.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Water. What a blessing!

2. Voting!

3. Enjoying our church’s annual God on Broadway services during the month of October.

“God on Broadway brings theatre and theology together in a worship experience unlike any other. Each week, music and scenes inspired by a Broadway musical help us explore the deeper questions, stories, and messages that connect with our faith.” Asburymemorial.org

Such Fun!

4. The ability to hear!

What do you hear right now?

5. This incredible field of sunflowers Robert discovered today as we drove up to nearby Statesboro.

May you discover beauty this weekend.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. The Autumn decor in the foyer of the condo where we are crashing in Ponte Vedra FL this week.

2. Robert’s nickname: “Squirrel.”

3. The ability to walk. At least for now. The condo where HR and I are staying has a large number of senior citizens, many of whom struggle to walk, aided by canes and walkers.

4. Always, ALWAYS having enough food to eat. What a blessing that I often forget is a blessing.

5. Just finishing this incredibly well made, four-part docu-series about the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. Absolutely fascinating!

Netflix

May you have a Joyful-saurus Weekend Ahead.

“The Artful Dodger” #30

Posted on by Neal Saye

A mostly silly blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations

So Coastal and I were out for our daily 7:30 a.m. it’s-time-to-do-our-business morning walk …

… when seemingly out of nowhere, I heard a deep, gravelly voice angrily yell, “DO NOT TRAMPLE ON ME!”

I looked around, saw nothing, looked down—and saw him.

Coastal and I jumped aside and trod TarMack’s way no more.
