I 'discovered' Jane DesRosier, of Gritty Arts Studio, several years ago. Although we haven't met in person, I have spoken with her on the phone. And from that brief interaction, and what I read and see on her blog, I know she's a gem.
Three of her paintings found a home in my living room. I grin when I look at them. Her art makes me happy.
Although I knew we shared a love of bluegrass music, I didn't realize what a talented musician she is.
Cowboys and Jesus...what a concept...Here at the end of the road, that makes me grin, too.
The words, "Will Jesus wear a cowboy hat when He comes to take us home?" make me chuckle. But if we're gonna be doing a two-step when we get there, I'd better take some lessons here first!
Matthew 24:51 reads, "They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
Won't it be something!

Shoo Fly!
Shoo fly don’t bother me
Shoo fly don’t bother me
Shoo fly don’t bother me
For I belong to somebody.
I can’t get it out of my head!
Our little granddaughter was here today, and as she was being tucked into her car seat, I heard that peppy tune (sung by children, of course) playing in her vehicle. And now it’s going ‘round and ‘round in my head.
I walked up the road after they left, and those words kept bouncing around with my every step. I checked on the cats’ food and shoveled the sidewalk --- moving in time to that crazy song.
I was so desperate to lose this melody, that I put on some Christmas music when I came back into the house, but whenever there was a break between songs, back it came:
Shoo fly don’t bother me
Shoo fly don’t bother me
Shoo fly don’t bother me
For I belong to somebody.
The worst of this is that I can only blame myself – I gave her the CD!
Next time, I’ll be a little more choosy about the tunes I buy for her. Maybe a little Bluegrass? Bet her parents would like that!
As I share this story with you, I remember Psalm 37:31 “The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.” and Psalm 119:11 that talks about the value of knowing and treasuring God’s word in our hearts. “Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.”
I’m grateful now for the scripture verses I committed to memory as a child as well as those I learned as our son worked on his Kids Club memory badges. How many times has a scripture verse I memorized years ago, come back to me just when I needed the reminder! I’m glad those verses are tucked away in my heart.
Now if I could just get rid of Shoo Fly!
No -- that's not the answer! It would be more fun if you sang along! Just click on this link:
