“The RoseBouquet”

In my work world, I feel like I had busy week last week filled with surprises. I had JUST finished the RoseBouquet last week Tuesday, when I was invited out to lunch with Priscilla and by Peter and Kathy Friesen from Manitoba. (Peter is my Dad’s cousin, and they have been missionaries in Mexico; and I just plain like them). We had a good time. I was able to set up the church website in my care that same evening.

Our Scripture Signs committee is getting active. We’ve met together two Wednesday afternoons in a row and are to meet again tomorrow. I don’t really have a block of time cleared for this work yet, so it is snitching from other blocks of time, but we are enthused now as we are trying this out. I feel as I’m still on a learning curve, and will be learning for a while, but I was able to create a couple of these scenic posters with a Bible verse on each last week, and another yesterday. It is fun work to do on the computer, right up my alley,. .. but I’m sacrificing tract designing time and email time to accomplish it.

Soon it will also be my responsibility to put them up on our WTM site, and offer them for free downloads. First we are trying to get a handle on what kinds we will produce and what exactly we will be offering. I’ll let you know when they become available.

Meantime, we’ve been mentioning our need for good scenic photos to some friends, and offerings have poured in. Yesterday I was trying to save them all to one folder, and was impressed when I saw that Reg had sent me 41 already. I had just gone to share them with Joe on my USB stick, when I came back to my computer and saw in my emails, there were two or three more, with several pictures attached to each!

Since I have this vivid imagination and can visualize quite easily, I think I see more than the other committee members, that this project can soon grow like Topsy and over-power us. Want to help us by praying for wisdom?

Speaking of imagination… Oh no! Guess what? Today I was going to write another short story for the Short Story Game, but I have been working really hard and have just finished a page about my book’s heroine, Ruthe, and her gift of a vivid imagination, and an ability to visualize. (Sigh!)

Well, since I’ve had only one real compliment on my short stories, I suspect there may be more interest in this article. I warn you, it is a bit long, as I was more thorough on this topic than I am on some others.

Maybe I’ll come up with a short story next week - what do you think?
