  Thy Word O Lord is my  Illumination  that gives me Your vision for the work you have prepared me for, directs me in the way that I should go and provides me Your wisdom in how to speak to Your people. Thy Word O Lord is my gauge as to what is right!  Thy Word O Lord rejoices my heart and it fills me as I need it. Wisdom shouts in the streets.     She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street,     to those gathered in front of the city gate: “How long, you simpletons,     will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking?     How long will you fools hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. I will share my heart with you     and make you wise. “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come.     I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.

  From A Journal, 1/19/2023 Wow Father, I have seen and I am a witness to Your Majesty,  in the last three (3) months through Joey's life and testimony!

Aging is a wonderful phrase of life when you have a good sense of humor and attitude.  As I am now officially retired, I can share with you that it has been a sense of freedom. I would not have thought of retirement in that way, but now I do not have the urgency of time. I can plan to do the things that I have wanted to do.... paint, author a book, spend quality time with friends and family and experience new places. My heart is open to meeting people and sharing life experiences with them, in order that we may encourage one another. Really there are no limits! The reality is that I am still trying to navigate my emotions. After serving others for so long, how do I now serve myself?  I have thoughts of travel (Italy and Wyoming), new adventures (train ride to visit family) and so much more. So where do I begin? For now, I need to put into words what I am feeling, what I want, and what can I give?  Usually I can find myself when I write or sit still. There I ...
