Good morning, Father! THANK YOU for all the wonderful and fun CUBBYHOLES that I have to fill now — I finally feel like I am back on the creative spree that I once was on, up in Michigan, when I was producing new and fun educational materials every day, one thing after another. Only THIS time, I have sooooooo much better TOOLS to use and play with!! I not only can create simple little games and card sets and such, but I can also make digital versions that can move and interact. I can’t even imagine what I will be able to do in the coming months and years, as my skillset grows, haha! :D I am having FUN, just THINKING about all the stuff I can make to release for MEMBER Patrons and for the peeps who get my little biweekly newsletter, Fran’s FREEBIES & News. I even have great fun brainstorming, making lists of things to create — just like I used to do up in Michigan when I was homeschooling my four kids! How delightful to find myself back in a creative whirlwind! And this time, not only do I have better tools, but my environment and my daily schedule are both much more FREE and conducive to creative work. I am not actually responsible for any other living thing besides myself. I have a comfortable partnership with my Mate, and good friends closeby. I have four grown children at a distance, like carrots on a stick, inspiring me to find ways to increase my income in order to be able to travel and visit them. I don’t even have a Tiny Friend, a little dog that is desperately dependent upon me — like my sweet little Rusty dude whom I will put up in the featured photo for this ramble, heehee. I still miss him. But at this point in my life’s adventures, it is good, good not to have a delicate little animal to care for. I thoroughly enjoy my freedom, and doing things like going in and out the open door of the camper, hanging out with my Mate and getting work done inside, then going back out to sit in the lovely night air, in my lounge chair just off our little porch that my Mate built. Life is Good. God is Faithful. Can’t wait to see what I will make today! :O>
My Tiny Friend -- my sweet Rusty boy -- almost 10 years ago :O>
Matthew 8:5-13 ERV
Jesus went to the city of Capernaum. When he entered the city, an army officer came to him and begged for help.  The officer said, “Lord, my servant is very sick at home in bed. He can’t move his body and has much pain.”  Jesus said to the officer, “I will go and heal him.”  The officer answered, “Lord, I am not good enough for you to come into my house. You need only to give the order, and my servant will be healed.  I know this, because I understand authority. There are people who have authority over me, and I have soldiers under my authority. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes. I tell another soldier, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and my servant obeys me.”  When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were with him, “The truth is, this man has more faith than anyone I have found, even in Israel.  Many people will come from the east and from the west. These people will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in God’s kingdom.  And those who should have the kingdom will be thrown out. They will be thrown outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”  Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go home. Your servant will be healed the way you believed he would.” Right then his servant was healed. 
Lord, I am so enjoying reading in Matthew again in my eSword — and it is so new and fresh because it is in a new version — ERV or Easy Read Version, lol. For a great many years I would read ONLY the King James Version (KJV). My Mate was accustomed to the New King James Version (NKJV). Now, because of technology, I almost never read a physical, hard copy bible anymore. Instead, I can roll over in bed, reach for my phone… and within seconds I can be reading any of a number of versions, in the dark. When I’ve read enough, I can either go back to sleep… or get up and do some work… or be with my Mate… or read something else besides my Bible app… or watch a Great Courses Plus lecture or a Curiosity Stream quickie… or I can listen to an audiobook… or practice learning a language on Rosetta Stone or Drops (my personal favorite) or DuoLingo or Mondly. Lord, I feel sooooooo spoiled!! I know there are terrible things about living in this day and age, but I have an awesome Mate (soul mate husband) who spiritually covers me as my Head, caring for the things of this world that I do not have to (politics and such) — freeing me up to focus on creating FUN content for my business, for online and offline use by people all over the world. Heehee, I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I’m off to work now… what shall I create next? :O>

I have used this little pic to represent my prayer blog since February 2017.  It’s a good mix of things that are ME: nature, worship, surrendering self… plus a solid dose of modernity and technology, as I believe this little box-human is one of the Amazon-style graphics that were popular at the time that I found it.  Not sure who created this pic, but I do believe I found it on Pixabay, where NO attribution or credit is needed.  However, I am quite willing to be corrected if I am mistaken.  😉  🙂  😄 :O>
