So many things are happening in the world today. I'm reminded that Jesus said not to let our hearts be troubled. I'd like to share a psalm I read this morning with you:

God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us—
² That Your way may be known on the earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
³ Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
⁴ Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the peoples with uprightness
And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.
⁵ Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
⁶ The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, blesses us.
⁷ God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

[NASB]

Worth the read

I am trying to catch up reading my friend Jan Treat's blog - and it is well worth the read!

JAN'S BLOG

Have a truly blessed day!

Not the only one

Apparently I am not the only one finding time for blogging to be difficult. I checked in with a blog or two I like to follow, and I see others are finding that life is busy as well! I'm still here, and when I can I am writing in the background - often more editing than writing anything new.

The only real "event" in our lives that helped to keep life busy was a family get-together in May at cabins in the mountains, and it was wonderful! I was one happy mom/mil/grandma/wife/camper!

My friends the Treats returned from their missionary trip, and I have heard briefly from Jan that things went well. Hope to learn more soon!

I can't really blame my Etsy shop for my being too busy as sales are practically nil! Still, I try to add new items because if I'm going to do this, it takes some honest effort. Plus, it's fun!

As for the writing I'm working on, I have been researching just a bit as far as publishing. I'm wondering about some things, such as Amazon's Create Space, and I believe Google also has a similar product. How about you? Are you publishing, or trying to decide what direction to go in that arena?

I look forward - somehow - to getting back into blogging, but other than this, not today... Hope you all are having a fun and blessed summertime!
