It would be an understatement to stay life has been a blur over the course of the past week or so here at the ranch.

 Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him! Psalms 34:8 (NLT)

To categorize the past seven days as “normal” would be the farthest thing from the truth in describing the events of the week.

A package arrived for me last week.

Seeing the parcel near our front door, I honestly had to ask myself “Did I order something online?”

I did not recall doing so.

There are times when we all need a proverbial, if not a literal, kick in the pants to remind us of something we know to be true despite the voices in us and around us screaming to the contrary.

Sometimes the weirdest things seep through the stratosphere called “my world” and flow into my brain cells, often at a most unsuspecting time.

Such an instant occurred yesterday on my drive home from work.

The air is cool outside, escorted by stiff breeze.

It is a subtle reminder of what has been and what is to come. Out with the old and in with the new.

Life is brief.

We are told it is like a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow.

For a brief moment or two assume the world in which we live contains only you and I, both card carrying members of the species labeled, “male”.

Before we leave the starting gate we realize our universe is already lacking color without the species labeled, “female”.

However, we decide to go with the flow!
