Variety Year




I turned 57 this past week. I'm calling it my Variety Year - for 57 always reminds me of Heinz and the 57 varieties. So I'm declaring this to be an eclectic year with lots of different kinds of fun and interesting things.

It was off to a good start. We spent Saturday afternoon antiquing in Baltimore. Our big find was a wooden door for $5. What a steal! It will even fit our pantry. Then we went to the schlocky side of town and shopped and dined in Hampden, Hon.

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally.
