I heard on the radio on my way in this morning that the river is full of sediment at St. Louis due to all the recent flooding, and that as a result, navigation is a problem. Is that ironic, or what? Last month you couldn’t get through because it was too high. And now there’s sediment.
I don’t know about you, but there’s sediment in my life, too. It’s stuff that shouldn’t be there and gets in the way of my navigating the river of my life. Some of it just seems to occur naturally…high gas prices that result in my wondering how I’ll get to Texas to see my new grandchild…grocery prices that are out of sight, and make me think twice about the things I buy…things that I really have no control over.
And then there’s the self-inflicted sediment. Baggage I carry around needlessly…worries about tomorrow…regrets about yesterday…not taking care of myself…
Sometimes I think I need the USACE to come in and clean the channels of my life and make things more navigable. But wait… that’s what God’s grace is, isn’t it?
H-m-m-m…
Here’s to navigable waters for you and yours.
Grace and peace,
Ann

Labor Day is Monday. It’s a day when we stop to honor the working people of this nation…if we can. I imagine you’re working and not at home barbecuing or doing all those other Labor Day “things” most folks will.
