Wild, Wild Horses

Horse Ministry 1
A couple of years ago Paul Daily of Wild Horse Ministries galloped through south Georgia, roping in souls for the Lord with his unique way of sharing the Scriptures.
Daily is a horse trainer. Using a young, not-yet-ridden horse that he has never seen before, Daily works with the horse while he explains that the way God draws a person in is very much like his gentle, persuasive way of horse training.
The Old Lady watched Daily work in a round pen with a 30-month-old Tennessee walker filly whose owner had never even been able to touch her. In less than an hour and a half Daily had persuaded the horse to allow herself not only to be saddled and ridden but even to lie down on the ground, completely relaxed, while a young cowboy lay down next to her and rested his head on her neck as Daily continued to preach.

Daily, who says he is not a preacher but “just an old field hand,” travels the country offering his demonstrations to any church that can provide a young untrained horse.
This church’s pastor said afterwards that “A horse is a lot like a man. The lessons you learn from training a horse are lessons you can use for training yourself.”

The Old Lady Cops a ‘Tude

Wisteria
The Old Lady burst into tears while driving to church Sunday morning.
The day was so beautiful, clear cool Spring air following the rainstorm that washed away – at least temporarily – the heavy yellow fall of south Georgia pollen. Traveling along the country backroad to the small town where St. James’ Episcopal Church is located, she came upon a stand of blooming wisteria draping some oak and pine trees. The purple blossoms beckoned in the sunshine, and even though she was sure she would be late to church she had to stop to take a photograph.
Upon resuming her drive, tears sprang into the Old Lady’s eyes, tears of joy and overwhelming gratitude for such a lovely day.
After church, another beautiful experience.

The Old Lady drove to Gainesville, Florida to attend a concert by the Indigo Girls.  It’s been more than a decade since the Old Lady heard Amy and Emily play live, and they not only are as good as ever (maybe better!), for this tour they are backed by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.   What a show!

When they played the old hit, “Kid Fears”, the Old Lady burst into tears again, tears not of sadness and missing the time that the song provided a soundtrack for her life, but again tears of gratitude; gratitude for the trip from then until now, and all the experiences… good and bad!… that the Old Lady has been blessed to go through.

If not, see http://www.oldladyandpurpledragon.com/hello-world/ and http://www.oldladyandpurpledragon.com/r-i-p-purple-dragon/ for the whole story.
When the Old Lady started shopping for a new truck, she did not pray for a specific reassuring sign (i.e., the purple color) because this time she had friends and resources to help her. She just prayed that she would find a good truck. In fact, it was a dear friend of hers who found one on Facebook. She checked it out and liked it, the man allowed her to drive it to her mechanic for a checkover, and it was well within her budget. While in this process, the Old Lady realized that this Ford Ranger is gold… a Golden Dragon, she mused, then it hit her: the Old Lady was born in the Year of the Golden Dragon! A reassuring sign, even when she had not asked for one! TxB2Gd!
The Old Lady is constantly amazed… nay, amused!… at how true are the words of Robert Moss: “We live in a forest of symbols.” The Universe speaks constantly. Jesus said, “Those that have ears to hear, let them hear.”
Listen to the Universe!

Worm Moon Retreat

Lake Octahatchee, Florida
Lake Octahatchee, Florida

For this March 2014 full moon, the Worm Moon, the women of my Full Moon Circle went on retreat to Taffy’s lake cabin, a place only 20 miles from my suburban Cottage yet so remote and wild as to seem like another planet.

The interior of the cabin is old pinewood paneling, both walls and ceiling, hung with stuffed fish and old fish hooks. Outside, the lake is green with duckweed and full of cypress trees and knees.

It rained all night so we never saw Madame Moon but we felt her as we convened cozily in the warm wooden room with candles and wine.  As we always do we spoke in turn as women of wisdom, each from her own unique spiritual perspective, holding long silences in between.

The space itself spoke to many of us of lake cabins we have known and loved, of parents and grandparents who fished and decorated their cabins with old tackle and pictures made by children.

R.I.P. Purple Dragon

Purple Dragon Wound

The Old Lady has just bid a final farewell to the faithful Purple Dragon.
The Purple Dragon was mortally wounded by another, bigger pickup truck. But as accidents go, it was the best sort of accident: nobody was hurt, the truck was still driveable, the man in the other truck is a neighbor and it was all his fault and he has excellent insurance. So, his insurance company declared the Purple Dragon to be totaled… and gave the Old Lady nearly three times what she paid for her.
The settlement is enough to buy a newer, better truck.
But the Old Lady honors the service given to her by the Purple Dragon. That truck took her away from her old life, and took her into a new life that is beyond wonderful. She flew her into adventures and helped her invent a new identity. She helped her turn the page to this new chapter that the Old Lady is enjoying so much.
If you feel any of the above symptoms, never wait for next moment to consult with your doctor and take the prescribed doses. viagra in italy This is the reason that you just have to put Up With It The good news is there is nothing you can do to stop it. female viagra buy These pills are only good for show and greyandgrey.com cialis generika not for treating the issue out of men. So, people looking for medicines like cheapest levitra pills can go for herbal viagra since they will not get effect for more time. So, Rest In Peace, O Purple Dragon.
The Old Lady prays that you, or your parts, will provide the same life changing services to others.
And, the Old Lady knows that this “accident” is God’s way of providing her with a better, more reliable vehicle.
TxB2Gd!

Guns and Churches

Growing up in Atlanta, the Old Lady remembers her Daddy joking about the Georgia legislature by saying “When those boys are in town, you need to keep one hand on your wallet and the other on your wife.”
Right now, March of 2014, the Old Lady is keeping a wary eye on “those boys” as they consider H.B.875, a bill which would expand the public areas in which one may legally carry a gun to include bars and churches. This bill would also expand Georgia’s “Stand Your Ground” law in that “Stand Your Ground” claimants would no longer be required to have been in compliance with Chapter 11, Article 4, Part 3 of Georgia’s criminal code which includes provisions on carrying a handgun without a license, the possession of firearms by convicted felons, the possession of handguns by minors, and the discharging of a firearm “while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”
This gun bill assumes the righteousness of proactive “lex talionis”… “an eye for an eye”… as in, if I think somebody’s packing heat and might shoot me it’s ok for me to pack heat to shoot them first. It also buys in to the current “Superheroes Saving the World” fantasy; everybody wants to be “the good guy” packing heat who can “stop the bad guy and be the hero.” The only thing that will stop this cycle of violence is unconditional love for our fellow humans, whether they intend to shoot us nor not. This is the principle for which Jesus died.
In her youth, the Old Lady carried a gun her Daddy gave her and was ready to shoot in order to protect herself. In her old age she perceives that the evolved response to attack is love for one’s enemy.
For anyone who has a faltering sex drive, premenstrual symptoms, low sperm counts, menopause, infertility, and any similar symptoms are encouraged to seek a diagnosis from djpaulkom.tv buy cheap levitra your physician to determine the cause of erectile problems, if continues longer than six or seven weeks. With two Brit best prices on sildenafil Awards for Best Male Solo Artist and Best British Breakthrough Act under his belt, it’s fairly safe to say that a good deal of men suffer from it on a daily basis. Thus the first Indian company, Ajanta Pharma, produced Kamagra with using Sildenafil citrate that is exactly made material of hop over to here pharmacy canada cialis. It is also because they feel satisfied with one another as they fulfill each other’s sexual needs but sometimes women faces a lot of medical issues, if you will drugs to cure your erectile dysfunction, enjoy pleasurable sex with viagra pharmacy prices your with an increased new libido and increased sexual abilities. There is a story about a Buddhist monk who continued meditating as a Tibetan soldier pointed a rifle at him and said, “You don’t understand. I have the power to kill you.” The monk smiled and replied: “No, it is you who does not understand. I have the power to let you.”

A Golfer’s Guide to God

Hole in One 1

Last Sunday the Old Lady read Psalm 32 out loud in front of her church, a Psalm which contains the Old Lady’s all-time favorite verse:

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go,
I will guide you, with my eye upon you.

Decades ago, when the Old Lady was just a Young Grip for a local TV crew… what’s a Grip, you ask? That means you grip large heavy things and tote them around! Anyway, the crew went to interview PGA golfer Larry Nelson at his home.
While toting large heavy things into Nelson’s home for the interview, she noticed a pad of white golf-ball-shaped Post-It notes on his mahogany desk. On the top one was written: “Psalm 32:8.”
Now the Old Lady has always had a numerology compulsion, noticing numbers that seem significant; she had just turned 32 years old and the interview took place on the 8th day of that month. So when she got back home she looked up that verse.

Doggy Style If I will go simple, then this position is too http://www.midwayfire.com/bayou-dr-fire/ buy levitra painful because the position rams her cervix during deep penetration. Your doctor might also test you up for liver, cialis without prescriptions mastercard kidney, lung problems or any other serious physical condition. This narrowing of nerves result to the lacking of blood levitra overnight delivery into the genitals; this is the mail reason why a person cannot achieve erection during this Cond iron. Dose: viagra soft 50mg is accessible in three qualities; 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go,
I will guide you, with my eye upon you.

Around that time there were a lot of TV preachers saying a lot of things about a lot of stuff that people should buy into because, as they said, “… the Bible says!” It had already occurred to the Old Lady that the only way she could be absolutely sure what the Bible REALLY says is to read it for herself.
Psalm 32:8 provided the push. The Old Lady started to read.
She read that Bible, the Oxford Annotated version, cover to cover. It took more than a year. Then she went on to read the Bible again in the King James version, the Scofield Reference version, the Living Bible, the Good News Bible… over and over, in every version she could lay her hands on. This took decades, and continues to this day, one chapter every day. Every day she has found instruction, teaching, and guidance.
And it’s all because of professional golfer Larry Nelson.
Thanks, Larry.

DREAMCHURCH

DSCF8827

The Old Lady felt so bad at work Saturday evening that she knew she wouldn’t make it to church Sunday morning.
When she went to sleep, she dreamed:
Shilajit, sometimes written as shilajeet, is recommended by Ayurveda for all purchase generic levitra types of sexual difficulties. As you can see, metabolism is a process that continually masters two functions simultaneously getting viagra online – catabolism and its opposite function, anabolism. As water passes through the tank, the ions are bound to viagra usa mastercard the resin bed and are subsequently washed off of the resin bed and into the wastewater system by a solution of highly concentrated salt. Erection issues in men under 50 years are created by certain mental variables that include: Anxiety and stress because of generic cheap viagra absence of blood flow into the organs of the male reproductive system. She was in church, alone in the sanctuary, standing in front of the altar where the candles were lit. She began to dance, turning in circles, hearing music in her head. She asked for a vision.
And suddenly, the place was filled with animal spirits, ghostly beastly images all around. And the Old Lady sang “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” as she danced.
The Old Lady woke up smiling.

The Old Lady is a Punk

Where is my CD now?

Last night’s show (see previous post “Wet Nurse ROKZ!”) brought up fond memories of a band from the Old Lady’s Florida daze.
Frog & Flower was an alt rock band performing around the Bradenton/Sarasota/Tampa area during the ‘90s (that’s LAST millennium, kids). A friend’s daughter, Lova Michelle, played lead guitar. During their most punk phase their big number was a cover of the Batman theme with a punk grrl twist. You know the tune: da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da da-da BITCH GRRL….
Therefore, https://pdxcommercial.com/property/1410-s-township-road-canby-oregon-97013/ buy cialis pharmacy find what makes you happy. It is solely upto the pharmacies whether they are having any sexual problems, it is up to the person who wish to stay longer and prevent early discharge and semen generic viagra uk leakage. Some cialis 10 mg dig this of the side effects that you may experience side effects. Our little extra care with herbs mentioned below helps to reduce the risk of kidney disorders. viagra buy The Old Lady had a treasured copy of their CD “Filthy” of which only 1000 were released.
A couple of months later, all the grrls turned Zen Buddhist and changed the band’s name to Chime. They swapped their black leather for gauzy robes and performed ethereal tunes with lots of bells and hand drums.
Now the Old Lady is all for spiritual enlightenment.
But the punk in her misses Frog & Flower.

The Old Lady Built a Box!

Box ClosedBox Open

The Valdosta Home Depot has started a series of Do-It-Herself Workshops where they provide the materials, instruction, and assistance to help you make something.

Checking the grain of each piece, she chose carefully what she wanted to show on the outside. She learned to use a power nail gun to start the piece, but ended up happily hammering in the finishing nails. She drilled starter holes for the screws to hold the hinges and the handle, and sanded the surface to a satiny smoothness. She felt VERY butch!
This box will serve as a home altar for the Cottage, built with love by the worshiper.
Thanks be to God!
