It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Praise Mop

I have a mop. In fact I have two and they both have fancy self wringing features... Very cool mops. One sponge, one rope. But I don't usually use my mops. I prefer to clean my floors on my hands and knees. I learned that from my Daddy who took care of our family's mopping chores until I was about 12. I prefer to mop that way. I can see the dirt, get into the corners, know the job is getting done right. Plus I have some very smooth knee dance moves.

But today I tackled our floors with my rope mop and am quite satisfied with that. I've been wanting to mop since I got home from the hospital and, since I've been banned from being in public (ergo, no church) I figured I'd have my own version of praise and worship. I'm taking a wee break right now and will vacuum in a few minutes.

Oh, I know there are some who would say I am desicrating the Sabbath, but this is Sunday, not the Sabbath, and I am mopping to the glory of GOD, and quite frankly, He and I seem to be quite at peace - actually pleased - with that. Then there are some who would question whether bedrest and mopping are really compatible, but I say if God has given me the energy and desire to dance before the Lord with my mop, I am resting in His love. So, naysayers begone! I'm having a glorious Sunday moring mopping up with the Lord, thank you. It's SO good to be alive!!!
