I rarely get to read blogs these days. I have a hard enough time keeping up with threads!

No, Deb, you aren't flaunting it or I wouldn't visit your thread or blog. It is vital to recognize and embrace the blessings God has given you. People like us realize that; I pity folks who are too caught up in themselves to see what they have, disabled or otherwise.
I grew up in a big city; I'm just a small town girl. For years we had no bus service at all, but the advantages of a small town far outweigh the advantages of a large town. I was willing to go if the Lord intended, but He only moved me from one small town to another. I've told my sons, I'll anywhere to be near them.

So, Darcy...is it a prayer retreat, a teaching retreat, a meditative retreat, or what? I should Google it.
Hi Mike. What's up with you today? We just had meatball subs with John's mom in honor of Columbus Day. Tomorrow we'll go to Cheesecake Factory at South Shore Plaza. Hopefully, Thursday our friend who has a wheelchair van will take us to Lousia May Alcott's house in Concord. And Saturday we'll go to a party celebrating the 90th birthday of John's aunt. What a week!

Hi Deb, have fun tomorrow! That mall has been greatly renovated in the past 15 years or so. John will attest to how it used to be a single level mall only.
I need to run an errand today as a new phone that I picked up isn't working, so I need to exchange it instead. Other than that, not much planned at all.

A friend from church is in construction, and he actually worked on the rennovation of South Shore Plaza. He knows every column in that mall! Recently, they built a separate, but semi-attached, building for The Cheesecake Factory.

Cool Deb! I am just amazed how it looks now. You would have never known that it used to be a single story plaza instead!

Wow, Louisa May Alcott's home would be wonderful to see.

I think contemplative prayer is like all things. It can be a good thing or it can get twisted into a bad thing. Personally, I think if one stays rooted in the Word, contemplative prayer is a very beautiful thing and I see it throughout Scripture and the early church fathers (it's not a "new" thing). I think sometimes the church can get too cerebral. Sometimes I think God wants us to just sit back, stop thinking and just be still before Him and relate. Some complain that Catholics don't go directly to God because they have intermediaries like the Saints and yet, I think too often we do the same with the Bible. I'm not downplaying Scripture - anything that contradicts God's Word is not of God BUT God can't be contained in a small book. I want to know and relate to all of God - not just what I can read in a book - no matter how great that book is.

Oh, B. Dalton's was also selling Homer's Illiad and Odyssey in one volume, which made me think of you, Darcy.  I'll read those on line, though...if I ever read them again. I read them 34 years ago in college, and didn't particularly enjoy them then. Or was it Sister Nicholas I didn't enjoy? (Later, I grew to love her, and she's my favorite teacher of all time.) But anyway, I know you're studying them now, Darcy, so I hope you're enjoying them more than I did!

But all of what God says to us this side of heaven is in Scripture, I believe. There's no further revelation. And we'll never totally plumb the depths of Scripture! The more I read and study it, the more there is to learn from it. And then there's applying it! After 37 years as a Christian, I'm just beginning to scratch the surface!

We canceled our plans for Concord tomorrow because rain is predicted. Today's weather was spectacular, so we boarded a bus for Ashmont, planning to do a self-guided literary tour of Beacon Hill. As I boarded the bus, my chair's battery indicator went from green to yellow. Evidentally, Enthusiastic One forgot to plug in my chair last night. When we got to Ashmont, we found a business that allowed us to plug my chair in for an hour, so we sat there reading our guide book about all the literary sites in Boston, Cambridge and Concord. By the time my chair was charged, it was really too late to go to Boston, so we came back to our town, ate at Wendy's, and visited the library. It was pretty chilly, so we were actually thankful we couldn't go to Boston; we would have come home later and been too cool. Wasn't the Lord good in having Enthusiastic One forget to charge my chair?
