The Simple Woman’s Daybook: March 31, 2015

Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY March 31, 2015

Outside my window… warm. I think it’s supposed to be 70ish today in San Jose? (I’m visiting my parents.)

I am thinking… about the devotional project I’ve had on my plate for 3 years and I’m praying that my part of it is done.

I am thankful… for my mom who is taking Daniel for a walk so that I can get breakfast and deal with the devotional issues.

In the kitchen… just finished off the shrimp pasta that Dad made last night. It was so good that I had leftovers for breakfast.

I am wearing… my black Reclaim Hope shirt and jeans.

I am praying for… a call for Jon, the right job for me, and for a number of special intentions.

I am going… to the salon this afternoon to get my hair cut.

I am wondering… how my drive home will be tomorrow and what route I should take.

I am reading… Six Geese A-Slaying by Donna Andrews. I finished Owls Well That Ends Well and read/finished No Nest for the Wicket by Donna Andrews, Murder of a Needled Knitter by Denise Swanson, and Cockatiels at Seven by Donna Andrews.

I am hoping… for a good day with Daniel.

I am looking forward to… Easter Sunday.

I am hearing… my mother-in-law’s voice as she is talking to me on my cell phone.

Around the house… my parents watching TV and Daniel playing,

A favorite quote for today… “It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion – its message becomes meaningless.” — Abraham Joshua Heschel

One of my favorite things… the scent of mom’s garden in the early morning.

A few plans for the rest of the week: getting my hair cut today, driving home tomorrow, church on Thursday and Friday, and whatever else comes up.
