to sit in 102 degree water when it is darn near freezing outside. Slightly worried about the new traffic signals with the BIG camera on top that could conceivably see over my fence. Maybe, I should invest in a swimsuit. NYAH, that would be practical. Maybe, that is why I like sitting in the hottub. It isn't practical. Anyone reading this wonders where I have found the free 5 minutes to type about practicality. Fortunately I can type really fast, thank you Western Union. So, back to the practical thing. It really is glorious to stop and "whatever" (you fill in the blank). For me it is to look at the sky and thank God for the stars, and the moon that is shining so brightly that the darkness can't hide the fact that I don't have on a swimsuit, and I rely on that :) Just to stop and wonder. I don't stop enough. I can hear a couple of friends thinking "ain't that the truth!" When I stop, I procrastinate, and I don't like that. I am a doer. Doing nothing, like playing solitare for hours, makes me feel guilty. I guess that I shouldn't. Even God rested and he was, IS, a lot busier that me, but he at least finished the job first.
I really do wonder enough though. Sometimes I wonder enough that I drive myself and everyone around me nuts. But if I don't STOP when I wonder, then I lose focus. Sounds like a vicious cycle.
So, am I alone on this?
So, now I wonder....... if more of my wonder was on God if I wouldn't lose focus when I stop.
Then I hear God say "STOP, now listen"
Boy, now I am in a pickle!
Solitaire anyone?

God says "Be Still and know that I am God." So often, what we think of as 'rest' is just another way to stay busy. Sitting in the hot tub and pondering God is a good thing!!! Playing solitaire...?
I used to go in our hot tub often without a swimsuit, especially when I was pregnant. Not a pleasant sight, so I hid in the darkness. I liked to look up at the stars too, and just be amazed at the greatness that is beyond my comprehension.
I think the games make it easier not to think. I always wished that it would serve some practical purpose like burning calories or generating income. Will someone please pay us for being good at solitaire???
