Long time... Longwood

Sometimes when we get busy and we go our separate ways, we lose sight of how long it's been. My friend, Marcy, is someone I used to work with. I have always enjoyed her energy, her love of life, and her creativity. We live about 150 miles apart and it's been too long since we've seen each other. So today we each drove to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania (about 2 hrs for her and an hour and a half for me) and we enjoyed a great time together. From the walk in the meadow to the tasty lunch to the conservatory and the gardens, every moment was fun and it was so good to catch up. We even got to spend an hour or so with Phyllis, who lives nearby. It was a time of fun, friends, and flowers. I've tried to capture some of it in the video below.

Nothing OT

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. He is looking for us ...
