Point Me in the Right Direction.

We were planning a spring break gathering and I wanted my husband to put up an wooden swing under the lovely shading oak trees in our front yard. As he set up the frame he asked me if I wanted it facing north or south? I said “I know where the sun comes up and goes down”? He said it is simple; “face this direction then turn left”, “I said do you mean your left or my left?” Finally I said just point me in the right direction!

Recently I watched a segment on the NEWS where Mr. Biden said “get the vaccination, and then you can have your fourth of July celebrations and your back yard barbecues.” Ha! Whatever dude!

Since these vaccinations may or not be the cause of blood clots, sudden death situations and sterility we are choosing to wait. Rather, we take the direction the Lord gave us; “Do this in Remembrance of Me”. So, we take and share the bread and cup of communion daily. He told us to do so and proclaim it until He returns.

I am a a diabetic, one dietitian, a slight tyrant, told me to stick my finger before every meal then afterwards and to write my blood levels down then to report to her weekly. I told them they were sucking the joy out of eating; that I believe in faith healing and I got off of all medications which were causing many complications. In a year I lost sixty pounds (thankfully they haven't found me again!) I take natural supplements and eat with enjoyment. I savor the freedom to be in control of my own health, and I have been healthy.

When Jesus told us He was the way, He pointed us in the direction of eternity. When our family goes up to our property at a lake in July, we watch the baby goslings make a parade following their mother. She leads them to life in the lake.

In my husbands' military training he had night time navigational courses. Once my husband was trying to teach me how to navigate at night in the woods. I was trying to pay attention in case I ever got lost, then I said “I am not going out in the woods at night, I would probably fall of the edge of a cliff while trying to figure out a compass”. So if you're there we will just follow you. Mom will bring snacks so we won't starve.

A while ago, My husband and I were having a picnic of my fried chicken on our local Army installation. By the park at the river, he left to use the restroom and I got out my flashlight as it was getting dark. Suddenly lots of green eyes and dark painted faces surrounded me... Someone or something said “we want some chicken”. In fright, I swept my flashlight toward the sound. The scary swamp monsters growled, “turn off the light”. I screamed “you swamp monsters are everywhere, leave me alone or my husband will deal with you!” My husband came running over, and a tactical instructor NCO declared “it's alright, Ma'am, it's just soldiers doing night vision google training”. My husband thought that that was cool, but they want to eat our chicken, not so cool!

Hi doc,

I am married to her. 38 yrs so far.

I also am her editor. Sometimes her thoughts and stories ( mostly true, sometimes with added embellishment) are cause for lots of writer-editor discussion.

Mrs Warrior suffered a fairly serious stroke a few years back, and I am thankful just to have her around.

Regards

Some background of my situation:

After I was assaulted I had a stroke and as a result have encepholamalatia, or a scar in my brain. I have a delay from the time I hear something until the time I understand what I heard. It is so hard for me to communicate with people so I have found that writing is the one avenue that I have to express myself. I want to be valuable to God and share the grace and peace that he has given me. Sometimes I will make fun of myself since I know people laugh at me anyhow.

Recently we visited a Ford dealer because we are looking to replace our primary vehicle sooner than later. A salesman came out and after introductions he told me I had lovely blue eyes. We were looking at a used SUV and he told me to get in, and drive it, to take it home with me. I thought “well I did not know the economy was so bad that you are giving stuff away, but sure, I ‘ll take the keys”. My husband motioned him aside and stated “whatever you do don’t let her drive!

I think you gentleman would rather pay me not to drive; when we went to the store and I got on my scooter, which is now the only thing I can drive. There were people in the aisle on either side and I was trying to figure out how to social distance but I had shopping to do. I was concentrating on not hitting the first person, but forgot that people move around and I nearly ran into a man. He looked embarrassed and asked if he screamed like a woman. I told him I could not have done better myself! Everybody got out of the way and I finally made it to the register safely without seriously hurting anyone.

As we were driving home, I mentioned to my husband to look at it this way, I saved us money by not letting a car salesman trick me into buying that SUV!

My husband is a man most like Jesus in his patience; I forget some decisions that we agreed on: we were going to wait for the fall to buy a SUV.

Thanks for reading and your (mostly) kind comments. I do not intend to come across as a professional author of some note, just as a normal person.

Best wishes to all
