Swim lessons this week. Mom said, “JJ, look at me.” and JJ said, “I am”.
If it’s Wednesday it must be Hodgepodge. Thank you Joyce!
1. August 8th is National Cat Day. Do you own a cat? Are you a ‘cat person’? Your favorite ‘famous’ cat?
Never owned a cat and although I’m intrigued with cats and their antics I’m not a ‘cat person’. Our daughter and her hubby just got their second cat. The photo is of Willow and Ash. Willow is taking her time in accepting the ‘new cat’ into her territory. She does not look pleased that Ash is up on her perch!
I really don’t have a favorite famous cat. Garfield and the Cheshire Cat come to mind but they aren’t favorites. Katie reminded me of Crookshanks, Hermione’s cat in the Harry Potter series. I was just reminded of Felix the Cat, too.
2. Cat nap-copycat-scaredy cat-curiosity killed the cat-cat got your tongue-like herding cats…which cat phrase applies to your life in some way currently? Explain.
Herding Cats! I’m herding myself these days with a different schedule this week because of Vacation Bible School at our church. Our VBS is in the evenings. This throws my usual schedule out the window. The older I get the harder it is to change courses. 🙂
3. What’s your favorite or most- often-made one pot meal?
Chili of any kind using ground beef, turkey or chicken. So easy peasy.
4. What do you wish you’d placed in a time capsule fifteen years ago?
My first little flip-phone.
5. Your favorite hour of the day? Tell us why.
Early morning with my Bible and a little Spurgeon or Alistair Begg, or John MacArthur, or John Piper or Martin Lloyd-Jones. God wrote the Bible and these men who followed (in Heaven now) and are following Him closely (on earth) have great insight to the world we are living in. God’s Word and my coffee early in the morning…divine. I’m amazed that Spurgeon writing over a hundred years ago is so relevant for today. His Biblical perspective is truth for today. It’s because God’s Word stands forever as truth and is relevant.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Speaking of Vacation Bible School. Our theme this year is Keepers of the Kingdom. Our church is all decked out like a medieval castle and The Armor of God is the theme, standing strong in today’s battle for truth.

…every kid needs swim lessons!
Willow and Ash are beautiful cats!!
Oh, yes..a first cell phone would be fun one.
Hi,
Oh goodness, I had to shake my head up and down saying yes, yes to your #5. I am reading Spurgeon this year as well. I have a daily reading and study for the entire year. And I say the same thing, “I’m amazed that Spurgeon writing over a hundred years ago is so relevant for today. His Biblical perspective is truth for today. It’s because God’s Word stands forever as truth and is relevant.”
And then I usually share the reading with my husband and he will say, WOW, that was so good.
Love the first photo today. 😉
I almost said my flip phone. I loved it and the battery never died. Have fun at VBS. It is exhausting lol. I wouldn’t do as well with the evening program either.
I’ve had a few cats in my time and though not really a cat person loved all the ones I had.
I’m sure you know my favorite way to start the day is walking. It is my prayer time and feel God walking along with me.
Beautiful post my dear friend.
Oh, yes, Spurgeon is the best. My Dad, 93 years old, a retired Baptist minister, was a HUGE fan of Spurgeons. I like David Piper too and use him often. Blessings abundant!
I love that first picture – it gave me a smile! I am loving this stage of “little boys” with my own little love! They are growing up so fast. Have fun at VBS – it wore me out too but so fun.
Wanted to ask you – what are your favourite Spurgeon books (there are so many). I have not read any and am very interested.
Hi Rosella, Morning and Evening, A new edition of the classic devotional based on the Holy Bible, English Standard Version. Revised and updated by Alistair Begg is a great one to start with. It’s offered on the Truth for Life store (Alistair Begg) I’m guessing it can be easy to order off Canada Amazon, too. Hugs!
Thanks so much!
Swim class is very important. Their cats look so cute. Thanks for the recipe. I Actually have my old flip phone. I don’t know why!! That is very interesting about your church being decorated with the armor of God theme. Hope you are having a nice weekend.
