No weapon that is formed against you shall prosperity and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the héritage of the servant of the Lord. Isaiah 54 verse 17.

What would you do if you won the lottery?
If it is about the money.
Indeed, I would give God thanks for this blessing. Then, I take out a portion for the Lord and his service.
Finally, I will put it in the bank and huddle at home with my sisters making a plan of action.
Boom!
Debt gone.
Boom!
Nice nest egg for later in life.
Boom!
Help my other sisters and their kids.
Boom!
Give to those who help the forgotten people around the world.
Wait, this is a lottery about money right?
If it isn’t, I give it back!!!!
Ever read the short story, the Lottery by Shirley Jackson?
Well you don’t want that.
No thank you.
He says, ” Look unto me, and be you saved…” Isaiah 45 verse 22.
Not one good thing will he withhold from those who seek Him, from those who love him, from those who follow hard after Him and walk in his ways.
What books do you want to read?
I enjoy a good English novel mostly from the Victorian times. However, I do like earlier pieces and my favorites are some by Jane Austen.
I would like to reread Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey.
I like her assembly of words, the situations each character finds themselves in and of course the plots of each novel.
This year is the 250th annversary of her birth December 16. This is a great time to reacquaint myself with some of her works.
Maybe I will read all six of her books.
He is my provider.

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name.

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Yeah, I hate anything housework seeing I am not domesticated. You will not catch me in the kitchen wearing pearls, high heels and a apron over some cute little black dress. Well maybe minus the high heels. They just hurt.
I do like to cook though.
On the weekends, I love to experiment on new recipes. I try new ones and give them to my family to taste and critique.
I think cooking has become my calming place.
When I stumble onto a great, delish dish it becomes a keeper in my entertainment journal.
I will go before you and make crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron…I am the Lord and there is none else.
God prepares a way when there is no way.
He makes my path straight and gives me light for my feet.
When he makes a promise no one can stop it.
No one can stand against it.
He is God.
Adapted from Isaiah 44 verse 2.
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
The gorge is said to be beautiful with a spectaular view of the rushing waters of the Grand River below. The cliffs are high, and the drop is steep but breathtaking.
I have a painting of the gorge where the artist’s captivation of the area is haunting and yet alluring.
I am hoping to take a trip there maybe this summer dv.
List five things you do for fun.
Nothing, nothing, more nothing, nap, and absolutely nothing.
That is the beauty of being free to relax and not worry about what people think about you.
You just be you.
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
My dogs are so cute and fiercely loyal.
When strangers come close they start barking and jumping around. This alerts me whether I am in the home or out walking.
They are amazing. Noise but amazing.
I pat them on the head. Say good boy or girl or give them a treat.
My little protectors.
I feel loved.
