The picture tonight is my sweet great nephew, Blake. Blake turned 2 in January. (He has 2 BIG brothers, 15 and 10 {?} and he acts just like them, only smaller! He's skipping 'terrible twos;' he's pure delight.) This picture, his mommy, Deanna, took the other day when they were at a picnic and saying a prayer; Deanna couldn’t resist snapping this shot. I think it is so precious, and we thank God for Blake lighting up our lives, and, thank you, Deanna!
I looked a bit like this today. I wanted Don to get a picture, but I can’t find the camera. UGH! I’ll find it, but I didn’t find it in time for him to get a picture of me repairing my jiggler. You’ve read of me, and some of you have seen me. using my jiggler; you know that it’s a thing use to keep my back ‘in order.’ Saturday night I jiggled and then the timer on it QUIT! It would still run without the timer, but I had to hold it in the on position and it hurt my fingers too much to hold it for 15 minutes. I opened it, hoping I could figure out how to bypass the timer. (Eyes rolling.) Of course, I couldn’t, so I called the company and they sent me a new timer and switch. It arrived today and I was sitting in the floor taking apart the jiggler and reassembling it. That had to be a sight. I must have surely looked like I was in this prayer position as Blake was; I could not have done it without God’s help.
I don’t know what gives me the confidence to cut hair, unless it’s God. Somehow I had the same confidence about fixing my jiggler. I knew I had to have it, so I did it. I was sitting there reading the instructions, though, and it said to join the red wires and the black wires, etc. I said to Don, “I’m going to have to peel back this colored part to get to the wires, right? Then I twist them together?” I thought to myself, “What were you thinking?” I knew I was thinking I had to have that jiggler working! Anyway, with Don’s coaching and God’s nudging, I got it fixed right before church. I’m headed to jiggle right NOW! Thank you, God!
