I’ve had a revelation: The world has changed. That has changed the Vicarage. It has also changed everyone who lives in The Vicarage.

My life before the shut in was busy. My life “shut in” is also busy but it is filled with different things and a different kind of busyness now. This busyness feels slower more evenly rhythmic than the busyness from before.

Now that I am mostly recovered from pneumonia my days start early again and they have fallen into a repeating meter: I walk and feed the dogs sometime between 4 and 6 A.M. I pray for an hour or so. I have breakfast with the Fam. Then I do chores until noon. At noon I make lunch for Mom and the Fam and we eat together. I pray again.

Praise the Lord.[a]

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever.

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord
    or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,
    who always do what is right.

4 Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people,
    come to my aid when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that I may share in the joy of your nation
    and join your inheritance in giving praise. Psalm 106 1-5

In your mind, what does it take to get noticed by God?

It always looks worse before it looks better!

Part of my goal with this challenge is to show you the changes that come to our home, which we call The Vicarage, over time. My sister and I took over the care of the family home from our Mom last year and this year we are starting the process of renovation. The roof was our first project. This summer we hope to be able to afford replacement shakes and gutters or at least a paint job and shake repair. We also hope to do some of the much needed yard work.
