Lost in Time in the Library

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries today!

Yesterday I was supposed to meet a friend at a certain time to go to a meeting together and I had extra time, so I hung out in the library. I lost track of time and got to the meeting just before it ended! My friend was very forgiving thankfully!

It took me back to my childhood in the 2nd grade when I went to the library after school to browse. I remember having such a lovely time with the books. But my pleasure turned to horror when I left and realized I had missed the bus! I tearfully went to the office for help.

My mom didn't have a car, so the neighbor lady picked me up from school. It was totally embarassing and I never missed the bus again.

I still love browsing books in the library as much as I did in 2nd grade and I haven't lost track of time like that in a long time. There is something wonderful about being so engrossed that time flies by without a trace.

Love, Sue

Leaving the Mundane World

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

How do you leave the mundane world behind and enter into the magic kingdom?

A trick that I employed today was to cover up all of the clocks, which set me free and put me into a timeless state of mind.

I found myself hanging clothes on the line, howling at the wolf dogs that live next door and yes, eventually, I started painting. It went very well thanks to all the fun I had.

Love, Sue
