Easter Eve

I would like to get out of the house (apartment) and go somewhere, just for the principle of the thing. Saturday, my only complete day off. Not complaining, it's just a fact. The only morning I get to sleep in and especially tomorrow morning because I still have to set the alarm for 6:30. Not because of a sunrise service. Remember sunrise services? Not so long ago actually, but haven't heard of one lately. The last one I went to was over at New Hope around Easter of 2012 or so. I sang a song I had written called "I Cast All My Cares on You," and it was outside in the parking lot behind the church. It's been cold and windy all day today so I'm glad we are not meeting outside this Sunday.Tomorrow’s supposed to be a little bit warmer, but still, thanks, but no. It actually snowed not too long ago on an Easter morning. Maybe I'm just imagining things, because all the Worldwide Web can remember is rain, most recently in 2025. I don't remember that. It's cold and sunny today. That's very deceptive. I had a busy morning washing my clothes and then I wanted to go to God's Storehouse. That's my usual Saturday routine; the library, God's Storehouse and the gym. I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me now, please, but I bumped my head yesterday and I have been advised (online, of course) to avoid driving, avoid exercising, and just rest. It's funny because I didn't feel different until I did. And I suppose I could follow their advice, except for one thing. They also said don't read. Are you kidding? There is no way that will be happening. In fact, the main reason I go to God's Storehouse is to look at books. Remember dressing up? I dressed up sometimes before 2017, at least once, and I have the outfit to prove it. It's very pretty but I don't really have shoes that go with it. I probably used to have some shoes that went with it, but it's been so long since I wore an outfit like that, with hose and everything. I've been living in jeans for at least 10 years. Seriously. It might be fun to go shopping at the consignment store down the road a piece. See, I must have done something to my brain because now I'm beginning to pick up expressions from the early days of watching westerns on Saturday morning, right? I am very glad for my salvation today. I am very glad that whether I live or whether I die in this body, I'm going to spend eternity with Christ. So, whatever happens today or tomorrow is not an indicator of anything in particular. To be honest since I bonked myself, I have been even more aware of God's presence, so I know he wants me to slow down and take it easy, but I'm not sure I have to not go anywhere all day. I could stay home and drink coffee and write all day, perhaps, but I want to go shopping just a little bit. Maybe the consignment shop, and also God's Storehouse, certainly not the mall. Too much driving. Driving anymore has become a bit of a bother. Why? Because people are so rude and everyone's in a hurry. I feel that way especially since I totaled my car in February. If I was going to write, what would I write? I've been thinking about writing about how to live alone. It doesn't seem like we were really designed to live alone but so many people do, and I know it isn't always everybody's first choice. But we do what we have to do. And tomorrow we celebrate the Resurrection. I hope so much that my loved ones will reconsider the claims of Christ, search their heart and give their life to God. I am pretty sure that message is the only reason I'm still here. Happy Resurrection Sunday, everybody!
