    Watching in silent wonder as wind and sunlight chased morning storm clouds from Matanuska Peak’s heights, the fleeting mountain mists whispered this scripture of life’s brevity to my soul, reminding me, “This is the day that the Lord has made.

    It has been two weeks since touching back down in the Greatland. Getting our home’s water running; the car’s brakes repaired; e-mail, phone and internet re-connected; and reclaiming the lawn and flower beds from the wilderness were just some of the tasks that made things ‘challenging’ 😊.

    During my quiet time morning, a yellowed page saved from somewhere long ago fluttered from my Bible. Looking at it, I realized it was one of those ‘Ah-Ha’ moments . . . an Divine addendum to the ‘The Quiet Bench’ musing posted yesterday on my blog.

    Ever been so busy you skipped a meal?  Way back in career mode times, I often did. Retirement eliminated that. Now when I skip a meal it’s because I forgot 😊 Mark 6:31 tells of a time when Jesus’ disciples were so busy with the crowds they didn’t have time to eat, and Jesus told…
