"Summertime and the livin is easy...."

Just had one of my favorite summertime meals: chicken, grilled to perfection, corn on the cob roasted on the grill, fried potatoes with onions, and a beautiful green salad (Thank you, Lainey!). Meals like this just scream summer to me! What's your favoite summertime meal?

Now I think I'll just sit back and listen to Louis Armstrong crooning Gershwin's wonderful song....

Summertime,
and the livin is easy
Fish are jumpin
and the cotton is high....

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky.
Enjoy the summer!

The Journey

If you've not listened to David Arthur's teaching, "The Boat Chronicles," I urge you to find it, buy it, and listen to it...over and over. During this journey of unemployment I have been in the boat that is caught in the storm on the sea and I have to say, I've gotten a bit seasick at times! What I've found is that the seasickness comes when I take my eyes off Jesus and put them on the circumstances instead.

Jesus is in the boat with me, of this I am sure. When I know this the seasickness subsides even if the "sea" is still turbulent. Jesus has the power to immediately end the rolling sea and as long as my eyes and heart are focused on Him, I will not drown. Ever.
