Lounging 8 x 8 gouache on watercolour
Ginger loves popcorn - me too! It's my goto late night snack and I'll admit, a few times I have it for lunch. I crave popcorn, with butter & even cheddar cheese sometimes, Ginger too. Well she craves it but she only gets a kernel, or two. The minute she sees me with my bowl she's right beside me and puts her paw on my leg to make sure I am aware of her drooling presence. Ginger watches TV , more than the others, especially if she hears dogs, she's like a tiny human at times. This is her and her rolls enjoying t.v. time on the sofa - until we can explore the outdoors and lesson the rolls. I might paint all my girls on the sofa, just for fun. Painting brings me JOY! Yesterday, I painted twice... today is to rain all day - a great day to paint & watch snow melt - yay!
Today - it's all about Today. What will you do today? it's all that matters. I was reading and one word appeared in a chapter at least 5 times- now, anyone reading and book might say - O.k., O.k... I get it - 5 times in one chapter - it's important to the story. The word was TODAY' and it was in the Bible. One minute I was reading about war & destruction and the next I (we) are brought right up to the NOW when The bible states- THIS BOOK you ARE reading -today... is all that matters. The chapter was Deuteronomy 29:10 and it reminds us of the LAW and reminds us - TODAY - focus on it today, now. Isn't that amazing? From TODAY forward God wants your attention -more importantly -your LOVE. Jesus teaches us how, when & where... today. Do what you can today to be like Jesus, be kind to strangers, be helpful if you can, be patient, be understanding... and if you can't think of anything nice to say - than just be quiet.
29: 10 All of you are standing today in the presence of the Lord your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel, 11 together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water. 12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 14 I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you 15 who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God but also with those who are not here today.
A few days ago - fear mongering started with the insinuation that Robert Pickton was going to be available for day parole.. Who is he you might ask? Canadian serial murderer who fed his victims to the pigs and bragged about it in jail... get day parole? Not anytime soon! So, why is the media behaving as though it's possibility - to stir the pot, to be a 'shit disturber' -a Canadian term for being an asshole. Perhaps it's to distract Canadians from other shenanigans. Either way - it's uncalled for. All this bullcrap does is reinstate fear & pain for ALL those involved including numerous family members. Rehashing hatred and anger for many. Just the fact it is even mentioned is a JOKE - and speaks volumes about the failing judicial system in Canada who keeps letting dangerous, sick nasty criminals out - why are they mentioning day parole for someone given a LIFE sentence? At first I was angry myself, then realized it's just the Canadian media with nothing better to report - trying to stir the pot. Just ignore them, better yet - demand they actually do their job and educate us on happenings around the world as well as in Canada. Robert Prickton will stay in jail, until he dies. It's hard for anyone to focus on today' when others try to drag you back to the past & pain... today is really all we have.
With God, I have the strength for anything 'Today gives.
