A Day In The Life Of A Graybeard

                Many years ago....oh....thirty-five or so....this for a few years....I fasted one day a week....Tuesdays or Wednesdays....I can't remember. It was hard. I worked a physical job and just did not have the energy that I needed. The days were long....but beneficial over all....and then I stopped.
                We may have some involuntary fasting ahead of us in the future....and I'm no longer a thirty-five year old. I'm retired now....obviously if you read these posts. I wake up in the morning and sit down at this computer....and if I do not get something accomplished....even if I know that it is not very good....the day also is usually not very good....and I feel somewhat like I used to feel in the late evenings of those fast days....just looking at my watch and waiting for bed....so I can get up and have breakfast.
                I have a new idea that I may try shortly. Prayer days....maybe today....days where all of the extra time that I have on my hands....instead of guilt feelings where I look for some chore to do....I'll just sit or kneel in the living room.....and pray. It really would not be a whole lot different than what I do now....watching this world....and the news....reading books....a little bit of everything but every day in God's wonderful and marvelous Word to us. That's when I'm most fulfilled anyway....whether it is while walking or driving or cutting grass or doing dishes....just thanking God....seeking his continued mercies....and praying for loved ones and God's children all around the world.
               There is always the YouTube sermons....every day....at least one and usually two or three. This is the best part of retirement! That would remain....Lord willing....but the emphasis would be prayer.....much of it conversations with a great and glorious God.....who it seems that He wants us to do just that.....come to Him with our concerns. I'll let you know how it turns out....Lord willing once again. I may find out that it's not that much different than my days already are. Anyway it is almost ten in the morning....and I've accomplished something....and I feel better already.
