Do you feel, former procrastinators, as if you’re living “Little House on the Prairie”? Just you or your family all alone? We have it so much better. Pioneers would go months without seeing nearest neighbors who lived miles away or without going into town for supplies. We’re blessed to still have each other during this…
As former procrastinators, we may be tempted to put off the ideas we have that we could implement during this time of isolation. No ideas? Pray for them! This is a great time for making special memories. If your area has loosened up and you’re no longer housebound, hey, there are still going to be…

Nobody, former procrastinators, is glad for the threat of illness or death. Nobody likes this time of isolation caused by COVID – 19, but several have expressed to me that there are aspects of the confinement they enjoy.

As a child, former procrastinators, I heard reference to an aunt being “in confinement.” She was nearing her due date so mostly stayed home, but at the end of that time – a new life! My prayer is that we will live new lives after this – lives more focused on what truly counts. Return…
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

Colossians 3:9-10
