Pleats and Bows! Welcome Here

 Welcome back flounces and pleats!

What a feminine touch to the toughened up women’s draw at the US Open in my little home town of Flushing, NY.  It was a beautiful and festive return to the hard courts of NY City.  With the strength of the women in the draw the beauty of flounces and bows remind me of the difference and the captivating value of Women’s Tennis. 

I fell in love with the beauty of the tennis dress in my teen years and we have played with the style of the skirt and panty from flounces on the panty and tee shirt style dress to just a simple frock.  I like the dresses any way they come.  They are always beautiful and call attention to the delicate nature of women’s attire in every sport.  Tennis is alot of thinking and alot of looking at a little green ball, so to add to the decor of the court with flounces and bows is a welcome eye catching invitation to the enjoyment of the sport.   

Thank you Tennis Ladies for decorating our world with your power and your skill and your individuality in style.   I love it!

Christmas Day 2023

 

2023 “Goodbye to the Pi in the Sky year” We started the year, so much anticipating good things. God didn’t leave us hanging, of course. He had planned many new acquaintances and many new discoveries as we walk with him into the lands of Glad Adoration. I do realize that Glad Adoration was just a figment of my imagination for so many years. It is hard to write about an amazing discovery with so many facets. The adoration of God’s inhabiting the praises of his people is something that makes you want to stop and just observe in silence. His praise is always glorious! He is far more glorious than his praise, but to see him allowing his train to spill outside of his sanctuary into the most uncanny places. Perhaps that is the folly of the uninvitedness of his presence in so many places today. The fact that he isn’t accepted or wanted in the same way that so many kinds of people were uninvited in days of yore. Signs that say for any other kind of person but God. We don’t want him here. Yet, to be working on a Sabbath and sense that he ignores the imperatives of exclusivity people place on some establishments and stages a sit in, right in front of his own enemies. The Elitists, The Exclusivists, The amazing educated “Ish”, simply step over his amazing provisions for them, as though he were a leper, when he is the one who gave them such lavish. What does God do? He lends them more breath, more stuff, more opportunity to praise him? It is an enigma to me! Three years of sacrificing some Sabbaths to the “ish” has blessed my soul in a couple of ways that I have seen in the land of Glad Adoration. 1. Seeing the Train of God’s Glory seep into the ish 2. Seeing my growth in worship and praise in a wordless season. 3. Seeing the truth of “if You turn your foot from the Sabbath…” 4. Seeing the mercy of God in the Land of the Living 5. Seeing God resisting the pride in me 6. Seeing God exalting the humility in me
