Thursday, September 19th
Another beautiful morning! You can tell the seasons are changing...it's getting darker earlier in the evening and staying darker later in the morning. I like the cooler fall weather also :-)
Yesterday, was a busy day. I took my car back down to the dealer in Winona for additional work. I had new tires and brake pads put on my vehicle last week and after te replacement my vehicle had a grinding noise. :-(
Then when I put my driver side window down to put the sun protection in my window, the window would not go back up. :-(
The car also stopped twice when trying to start it...it completely shut down. :-( They thought the anti theft control shut the car down because the key I was using is broken...it's the key the dealer gave me when I bought the vehicle.
So thankful I purchased the auto repair insurance :-)
While waiting for my vehicle I had my hair cut and colored at the Winona mall. I'm very pleased with the results. :-)
Before heading back home from Winona I picked up my medication from Walmart.
As I was driving home on 61 I passed by the cemetery where Fred Dorman, friend, was buried. I was thinking back to when he was alive and how Fred and mom enjoyed each other's company. Mom has Alzheimer's but continues to remember the good times she had with Fred. :-)
At 4:30pm Paul and I met my sister, Brenda and her husband, Curt in Rochester. Paul and Curt went out to Fleet Farm while Brenda and I got our nails done. We met back together for dinner at Whisky Creek. :-)
Last night I wasn't feeling very well...not sure why...very sore.
This morning I'm stil extremely sore and my scalp is very itchy :-)
I continue to appreciate all I am able to do. :-)

Today's Bible Study
How to Survive a Satanic Attack
Read | Ephesians 6:12-13
When we hear the word war, we think of physical combat with armored vehicles, soldiers in uniform, and deadly weapons. Yet there is a spiritual war going on around us that is just as dangerous—one we often ignore or fail to understand. We have a powerful opponent working against us. In fact, the Lord calls him “the god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) because he is the source of evil and wickedness in our world. To overcome Satan’s attacks, we must first recognize that he is a real adversary. Then we need to hold our ground against him. To stand firm, we have to dress for battle.
Wear the belt of truth. Because of who our Enemy is—namely, the Father of Lies—we must wear a belt of God’s truth to counter his deceit. It is imperative that we make a commitment every day to hold to the Lord’s plan, obediently following Him, whatever the cost. Just as a belt secures clothing in place, our lives are to be encircled and held together by the truth of God’s Word.
Put on the breastplate of righteousness. Much like a protective covering, obedience guards us from harm. Since the Devil prowls around seeking to deceive and destroy (1 Peter 5:8), we are to “suit up” daily in the armor that comes from choosing God’s way in our conduct and conversation. When we are protected in this way, Satan’s arrows of lust, doubt, or fear will not penetrate.
Today, safeguard yourself by spending time absorbing God’s truths (the belt) and then applying them through obedient action (the breastplate).
Another great day!
