Sunday SunDown

....and with that the Dallas Cowboys BEAT the Peyton Manning and his Indy Colts. Granted, Peyton tossed an interception and the Dallas' deeee-fense shoulda been better--yet the COWBOYS won. Da Boys are now 4-8. Gotta admit, I wish the season just started instead of almost at the end....*sigh*

Headed to church today and IOBC's Pastor Rickie Rush told us about Solomon's buidling this grand temple for God. Basically Solomon 'just did it'--kinda like the Nike of his time. Before Christ even. Makes me realize I just need to do it...stay tuned.

As I was in the grocery, taking note of the ice cream selection (imagine that) a carton of strawberry caught my eye. It wasn't my normal brand, yet it was an OK brand , and my favorite price 'on sale'--then I took a good look at the carton's label. It was strawberry alright--mixed with PEPPERCORN. Hmm. I pondered and declined. The 'on sale' price was not enough for me sample strawberry with peppercorn.

I bought a you-bake-a-frozen pumpkin pie instead.

Sunday. All good.

Sunday Short

Sun shines here in Dallas as I ready myself for church, Feels good to get up and go.

Last week, back in Iowa and caught a few minutes of my church, the Inspiring Body of Christ service, with Pastor Rickie Rush online. I pointed out to my chum Deb, the seat I call 'mine'.

Deb asks, "Do you have assign seats?"

Time zipped by so last week. I do miss Iowa to a degree--I honestly do.

As I sit here, already thinking of the Starbucks Cafe Vanilla Grande Frappucino I'll treat myself to later and the several malls, Wal-marts, and Targets in my radius, the 3 grocery stores within 5 minuts of me, with 2 across the street from each other and one of those with a Starbucks IN it! I wonder if I could really adjust to small town living again...

Stay tuned.

In the meantime, gots to go get my Praise on!

He didn't bring me this far to leave me...

Sum Up Sunday

Another view of part of my back yard. The wind does waltz with the leaves. And I like it.

It's Sunday. I went to IBOC--my HOME church as of last week. I still can't get over it I joined. Especially since the church I called Home for 5 1/2 years, before I ventured to IBOC, I never officially joined, even tho I was involved in things--like the co-head of the Singles Ministry and even taught my first adult Sunday School class--didn't know what I was talking about--but I did it. However, I never officially joined.

And now I have: Inspiring Body of Christ Church. I sat by an empty seat that had someone's purse and such there. In a few moments the woman came back--it was the SAME woman, who nudged me last week about joining. Things don't just happen. They happen for a reason. We had a good chat.

The main thing, Pastor Rickie Rush said when folks ask what we we did this weekend we oughta tell em we praised Jesus. Not what is usually heard. I chuckle cause folks who have known me since MTV were just letters in the alphabet, really don't get my Praise. I've learned to expect that. And it's OK--these folks continue to be blessings in my life.

In the meantime, the sun has gone down on this Sunday. Finished a college paper--I doNOT like writing non-fiction. Got a cat to pet, ice cream to eat and pages of Screenwriting for Dummies to fumble through.

I am blessed.
