Make our Lord smile!

We went to Saint
Matthew, SC to hear a former pastor preach. His name was C H Matthews and
related to folks who established the town.
On the church sign
out front was:
“If you want to make
God smile, tell him your plans!” they attributed the statement to Dolly Parton.
BTW (even OLD) ‘C H’
did a great job of ministry, even better than when he was in his 20s!
But this entry is
about plans. I had plans this last few days. Three days ago, I looked under the
kitchen sink, ouch, a bad leak! Drop
everything, morning was spent repairing sink.
Today I needed to get
a tractor started to clear the road to our house. It has been many moons, maybe 20 years since
it was started. I gave it to my son Mark years ago, and it has been setting. I
decided to pull the battery and bring it here to charge it.
When I went to our
former home (Now owned by Granddaughter Sherece) to retrieve the battery, and
before seeing the tractor, I noticed some trees (small 4”-7”) had fallen on the
storage building. There were a total of 6 of them. After getting the battery on charger I grabbed
an extension cord and the electric chain saw and headed back.
Clearing the road is
for our neighbor James (Jim) Arp. Jim is a couple years older than I. He was
famous as a Rock’n Roll singer, 1950s-60s. Lead singer and guitarist for ‘The
Del-Rays.’
The city should be
clearing the road, but Jim says they told him to do it. It is always good to
spend time with Jim, I know some of his jokes are old, but so are we.
Now ain’t you sorry
that Sherry said, “At least post once in awhile!”
For fun, Jim Arp:

Sherry is right. It is good you posted. I was getting worried about you; and prayed extra more. Got to get up from my knees now.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy it seems. Take care and have a rest.
God bless.
It was great to see your post today. You have been missed. I have learned that God's plans are always better than mine were. That is the truth! Glad that I don't have to worry about what's going to happen. He takes care of all of that !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting and letting us know all's A-OK! I just wish you could bottle up some of your 'get-r-done' and send it my way!
ReplyDeleteOld friends like Jim are a blessing, aren't they? You're sweet to listen.
I’m glad your back too. I read your post almost every day and it’s kind of weird when your blute (Blog mute). Yes I just made up that word.
ReplyDeleteI go MIA a lot on my blog sometimes but i’m always on here reading others. I just run out of stuff to talk about and time to do it.
