We Got Raccoons!!

We've Got Raccoons!!

 

Going back to our cabin, we noticed the front door wide open. (should have been locked).  Raccoons!! How did we know it was the furry bandits.  Well, they had torn open a bag of flour, scattered it all over the floor and countertops.  Then they continued to leave their powdery footprints all in the cabin as they…….. scattered the pepper from pepper shakers, climbed the kitchen curtains making them fall, played ‘football’ with the liquid soap container.  It was chewed open leaving a slippery trail wherever it traveled.  They chewed and ripped the paper towels and well, on and on….

Just about the time we get our house (and heart) in order, doesn’t it seem that the devil sends his little critters in to “create chaos”.

Tell me what’s happening in your heart and what “raccoons” cause those troubles in your life.  I won’t publish any comments unless you request me to do so.

Who wants to CATCH fish?

Who wants to come fish? -VS- who wants to come CATCH fish!!!

Many times I have invited people to come fishing at the cabin.  Everyone gets all excited…….. then…….. they start talking about past events where they didn’t catch anything at the Reservoir, or they didn’t have the right equipment… or bait.   Anyways, many folks express doubt as to their ability to catch fish. (and whether it’s worth their time to go).  Even though they don’t say it, they feel that while it sounds fun, it’s just not worth the effort or time.

If they only knew what was under the water (and where they can’t physically see)fishfrenzphoto

It reminds me of one of my favorite verses (click on the favorite verse tab)    Jeremiah 29: 11 – 14     This verse sounds so good, but us humans tend to look at all our past mistakes, and we don’t focus on God’s plans (He already knows what’s swimming under the surface where we can’t physically see.)    Seriously, who wants to come fishin’?

Click on each of the pictures above for a closer look. These are pictures of the hand dug well (1890′s) on our place in Colorado.  Watch the following video.(It takes two minutes…because it’s that DEEP!  Notice, do you see the gold specks on some of the stones?  Someone asked me if I was going to get in the well and get the gold………. I’m not!!!!! Too deep, Too Scary, 60 feet in the ground!!!  BUT……. I’m gonna give my son Jordan a call….. He likes adventures!!

This well reminds me of my (and YOUR) heart.  You have to look deep inside, but there is some gold in there.  (Also some trash has fallen in and needs to be taken out)  Ask God to help get the trash out of your well/HEART.  Focus more on that GOLD that’s in there.

Scuse me! I’m on the phone…….. Hey Jordan!  What ya’ doing this weekend!   ……….  See Ya!!

Don’t forget,   check out the following video of the well!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I84RIzrNdcE
