Well FINALLY! Glad things went smoothly today. WOOHOO!
Now to hope things run smoothly at home, too, and your mom lets you kick back. You deserve a break today. :-)

ACK! My bedroom window faces east, and even with blinds, the now early morning sun is the culprit.
My neighbor works graveyard shift and he put aluminum foil all over his bedroom window so he can sleep during the day :-), Don't think I'll go that far.
I haven't been fishing since I moved here, so me and another neighbor are going to go scout some fishing spots this week. I miss fishing.

I’ve done the aluminum foil on windows before and it does work, but it sure looks silly. LOL
Go to Lowes and get some black-out curtains. That’s what we have on our bedroom windows. They aren’t expensive and they work GREAT! The sun won’t wake you up again, by golly. :-)
Hope y’all have good luck finding some good fishing spots. Are there a lot of lakes in the area to check out?

Like Sheep
May 26, 2016
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way.
Isaiah 53:6
One of my daily chores when I lived with my grandfather in northern Ghana was taking care of sheep. Each morning I took them out to pasture and returned by evening. That was when I first noticed how stubborn sheep can be. Whenever they saw a farm, for instance, their instinct drove them right into it, getting me in trouble with the farmers on a number of occasions.
Sometimes when I was tired from the heat and resting under a tree, I observed the sheep dispersing into the bushes and heading for the hills, causing me to chase after them and scratching my skinny legs in the shrubs. I had a hard time directing the animals away from danger and trouble, especially when robbers sometimes raided the field and stole stray sheep.
So I quite understand when Isaiah says, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way" (53:6). We stray in many ways: desiring and doing what displeases our Lord, hurting other people by our conduct, and being distracted from spending time with God and His Word because we are too busy or lack interest. We behave like sheep in the field.
Fortunately for us, we have the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for us (John 10:11) and who carries our sorrows and our sins (Isa. 53:4-6). And as our shepherd, He calls us back to safe pasture that we might follow Him more closely.
Shepherd of my soul, I do wander at times. Im grateful that Youre always seeking me to bring me back to Your side.
If you want God to lead you, be willing to follow.
Isaiah 53 is part of a servant song that includes Isaiah 52:1353:12 and focuses primarily on the Servants suffering, which would be fulfilled in the crucifixion of Jesus. The Old Testament provides several foreshadowings of that suffering, and each brings its own perspective. In the Passover (Ex. 12), we see the cross from the Fathers perspective as Christ becomes our Passover Lamb. In Psalm 22, we see the cross from the perspective of Jesus Himself as David describes Christs suffering experience. Isaiah 53, however, describes the cross from the perspective of humanity. It tells us what they saw, what they failed to see, and what they desperately needed to seethe depth and passion of Gods rescuing love.

Lots of lakes to fish in within fairly near driving distances.
Son has been bugging me to take him again so I hope to find the best fishing spots.
Trout tastes great off the BBQ!

Cool!
The trick will be finding the GOOD spots but that’s half the fun.
Fish on grill is scrumptious provided it’s a charcoal grill. Hard to be that with a big stick. LOL

Just finished my Blizzard...brought Mom one of those new ones.
Royal Rocky Road with marshmallow in the middle. ![](http://patriotden.com/fotki/drinks/blizzard-rocky-road2.jpg)
Took her out on the deck to check on her flowers...she should be set.

*THUD*
Dang, that Blizzard you got for your mom looks sooooooo scrumptious! I haven’t bothered to check the others they have when I go. Just order the usual Salted Caramel Truffle since I enjoy it so much.
Gonna throw ‘em next time I go in and order one of these. LOL!
Hope the flowers do the trick and give you some peace tonight.
Let’s hope she doesn’t see the men working in the yard while she’s out there!
