Here I am at my house. Where the door is always open and all are welcome--whether I am here or not--make yourself comfortable.
Oh and I changed my name here to my name and here. I am still a diva and a brat just not advertising it now. Though those who know me...
We can talk about anything you want. Just remember my house really belongs to the Lord. So if what is said is ok with Him it is ok with me.
I look forward to visiting with y'all.

Hey Gma! Thanks for coming over to my house.
Not much happening here. There are some fireworks out there in the cold but nice and cozy in here.
Just finished some left over smoked turkey and sweet potatoes--feeling fat and sassy.
What's up with you?

Well I'm on the fat and sassy side for sure, but don't feel so darn spiffy tonight- I have a cold and it's kinda kickin my backside. And every other side too!
I was too lazy to cook tonight, I ordered pizza. Tomorrow I really need to get to the grocery store.

Colds are nasty--usually not bad enough to justify staying in bed and having a pity party but enough to be miserable. Hope yours is gone faster than a flea on Raid.

It is cold out there today. And I need a couple of things from the grocery. Bummer.
Hope you are feeling better today Gma.
I wonder if I will be better organized this year? I do not like it when I feel scattered--but when you are something of a ditz scattered is a way of life--might as well enjoy the confusion.

It is really cold! And it will be for the rest of the week if the weather people are right. I hope they are wrong.
My hands and feet are so cold. I guess I will have to get my extra heater out to keep it warm enough in here.
I am blessed though and know it. Here I sit in my house with heat and hot water and food while there are so many in the city who are homeless. The shelters are full and turning people away.
So no more complaining! Y'all hold me to it!
Gotta go to the store. Thankfully I still have my northern coat and hat and gloves so I will be pretty toasty out there. And it is dry--no rain or snow.
Have a good day!

It's been nasty cold here too Diva. High today of 12*, tomorrow High 7* & low -12*; Fri High 4* & low -17*; Sat high 12* & low -17*; FINALLY Sunday high of 21* and low of 8*- whoo hoo, positive numbers in both!
Sometimes I think I prefer the cold to snow because you don't have to shovel cold, but it can really get old!!

Wow Gma it is cold there. Not that cold here but cold for the deep south. I have become a wimp about the cold. I grew up in the snowbelt but it has been over thirty years since I lived up there.
Got my errands done. Felt good to be out and walking a bit.
Tomorrow the kids and I are going to talk about the wise men and their gifts to Jesus. I found frankincense in raw form--it is little lumps. And myrrh incense. And I am painting some pennies gold. They are going to make crowns for their craft. Should be fun but they will be wild. Three weeks since we have had class and it has been cold so they have probably been inside most of the time.

Sounds like a good class though Diva (lol, I know you changed your name, but I still like the DivaB and will probably never remember to call you anthing else  )!
I will be glad to see the "warm up" coming by Sunday, I'm getting a bit tired of all this darn cold weather! It is sure making me look forward to getting out to AZ next month .
I'm contemplating... I was just reading Romans. The 1:29 verse that Paul is listing the wickedness of man without God. "They are full of envy, murder, strife, deciet and malice..."
For some reason I decided to look up each of the words in a dictionary- I only got to envy and murder. Envy is pretty much understood for most of us- and yes, from time to time I'm guilty. It is still a bit sobering to read the definition though - "a grudging admiration and desire to have something that is possessed by another. Spite and resentment at seeing the success of another". Ouch. But murder was not as straight forward- at least not to me.
Murder- obviously ""the killing of a man or woman, but another definition given was "alter so as to make unrecognizable", as in 'the tourist murdered the french language'.
Interesting, isn't it? It's easy to look at that "sin" and think it doesn't pertain to us, after all, I've never killed anyone. But what might I have "made unrecognizable"? Have I ever put my own "spin" on a situation and distorted what really happened? Or distorted God's word, or His love in a way that it made it "unrecognizable" to a non believer? Or to fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Hmm, it's a whole new way of looking at "murder" to me.
Sorry, I'm wandering around in my mind and letting it spill out in your thread! It's just kind of bouncing around in my head right now and I'll have to mull it over for awhile I guess. But, once again it makes me Oh so thankful that I have a Savior and do not have to stay lost in my sin!!!
Sorry for the ramble...

Wonderful word study Gma. I did not know that about murder! I think I may be guilty of that from time to time. Thank you for sharing--it is a good thing to be made aware of sin that we may be a part of. Just because we don't recognize something in our self as sin doesn't make it not sin.
Arizona will feel like the tropics to you! Only a few weeks and you will be enjoying the warm sunshine.
You can call me Diva if you want. Patricia--Diva--same person.
And you can ramble here all you want. Glad to have you visit.
I am thinking I should go to bed--early morning tomorrow. I hate to give up and go to bed but then I have hard time getting up in the morning.

Popping in to see your place. Like your room Patricia. Do you answer questions about God too? I always have lots of questions.
Like who is the Angel of the Lord?

Welcome vmginny. I am glad you came by. I think that when in scripture, Angel of the Lord is referring to Christ. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Hi Gma!
Hello Pink. I moved south a long time ago partly so I would not have to deal with snow. So sorry I do not shovel snow. But I will have hot cocoa for you when you are done.
Bummer it is supposed to snow here tonight! Only a "dusting" though. But just the threat of snow shuts everything down.

I only wish I could apply for SS. But I have a minimum of 4 years left before I can. From what I understand I can apply for widow's benefits at 60. However I am fairly sure I will not be able to afford to leave work by then. I am really, really hoping I can go at 62 but not too sure about that either. Sigh.

Hi Gma---I am still going to work when my benefits start. I am healthy and need structure. To not work at this point would not be a good thing for me.
How has your weekend been? Are you feeling better?

There is a lot of confusion about social security. I spent a good bit of time on the web site before I made my decision. I found that much of what I was told by others was misinformation. It is easy to get confused but if you take your time and read carefully it is pretty clear. And you can always call the 800 number if you want clarification.
Yes there is a yearly earning cap if you opt for early benefits. If you go over it does not necessarily mean your benefits stop for a year.
Like you said you have time to think about it. Like most of life there is not one answer for everyone--no one size fits all.

We also have a pretty good local SS office as I understand it. I have been told to go in and talk to them in person - that you get better information that way, so that's what I'll do in a couple years.
I know I was totally surprised to hear that I could collect "widow" benefits even though we were not married at the time of his death. I knew I could collect on his because of the number of years we had been married, but the being able to collect earlier- at 60 was a surprise.
Anyway, 4 years seems like a veerrrrry long time!!

Just think how I'd be if I was really sick.
. The "spite" and "resentment" parts of envy are really jabbing me too. Sigh, I hate having to really look at my sin(s).
