Want to extend your conversation with someone? Try answering a typical question with a little bit of pizzazz. Yesterday …. yes, on a Monday …someone asked,”And how was your weekend?” I responded with “Super!” “Oh, really what did you do?” received an answer that brought a laugh and a lifted eyebrow, a query for an explanation. My reply was, “It was great because it was full —of dirt, dancing, dragsters, and dominos. “ If I had toted my camera around with me, I’d scrapbook it! So what’s the truth behind all those “D’s” which made for a dandy weekend? The truth of the alliteration was I got my hands dirty while repotting plants; we went to a street dance downtown; walked around some ‘you wouldn’t believe it if you didn’t see it’ modify cars, that were down but not totally dirty (some would be offensive to liberated women of the world united); and wrapped up the weekend with my dapper and dynamic parents playing dominos and joining us for dinner. “So how was your weekend?” Now for a repeat of a super weekend, even though I know "It's only Tuesday!" and I do love what I'm doing between now and then!
Remembering that “This is the day that the Lord has made and I am rejoicing in it,”

There's nothing new about S.P.A.C.E.
There's nothing new about S.P.A.C.E, a way of enriching our relationship with God during ou study of the Bible.{ Sin, Promise, Attitude, Command, Example}. Read the previous blog for more of an explanation.
In Psalm 19, David speaks of his relationship with God that revealed his knowledge of his propensity to sin. He had it, I’ve got it, and so do you and every one else walking on two legs and putting slacks on one leg at a time. It’s a good read, Psalm 19 …..Including “Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep your servant from deliberate sin.” Check it out.
We can ask like David did, “Cleanse the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take over your work.”
And what do we gain for admitting our errors and mistakes? Just the way to grow in a better life. That’s all. The gardener knows the need to feed the soil before planting. So you can learn from errors and move beyond them. Ask for forgiveness if needed. Don’t waste time and energy in self – justification. Ask God to help you learn from mistakes and move on down The Most Excellent Way, His road for you.
Hugs and blessings,
