My eldest son had a 4th of July gathering here at the house for his gang of mid 20 somethings. A good enough time was had by all that my wife played uber to several of them and our street looks like a used car lot right now. 8) While this was going on I pondered my post today about the Hazel Thornewood Mysteries and true to form I had to dive in there today. So one laptop and instance of Claude cleaning that mess up and trying to find what is salvageable and make a plan to do some serious writing. On laptop #2 I've been working on testing and fixing the new three BW, AC, & PC. Most of that on the intake of existing work. Whew. major changes to make and the system in place works but its slower than the separate BookWeaver.pro site, so that system had to be ported in....That's working on laptop #3. Had to revert back to Opus because Fable was going to shut me down until I can't use it anymore. Also modified an existing 3D model for a shelf bracket to use for my big monitor and have been printing 2 of those all day. (7hrs per--I love 3d printing but its sooo slow). Planned Ikea run tomorrow to pick up some shelved to finish the new office layout. and in the process of all of this found a story snarl I came up with a while back that I truly love so I've been putting it through the entire story development process, which I haven't done for awhile and have listed a few changes to make there as well. sheesh.It's been a busy 10 or 12 hours. The output of this effort is going to BookWeaver shortly to see if it can manage a truly complex story. I think I'm just a glutton for punishment. IOn not testing with easy stuff. I've now personally written over a million words of prose with the help of WordCrafter.pro in the last 3 months and desperately need to get a few of these published and out there. I'll probably be offline most of Sunday but will answer queries as I can. This next week I'm going to deep dive into marketing and its tools on the coding side and start really getting into video creation. I'm compiling all of the requests and suggestions made in the last couple of weeks here and putting together a playlist to create. My target this week is a new how to video every couplk of days and see if I can stay on that schedule for awhile to get more on youtube and our classroom.

🙏 July 5, 2026, Today's Prayer 🙏 Scripture of the Day "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 (NIV) Heavenly Father, Thank You for being close to us in every season of life, especially in the moments when our hearts are hurting and our spirits feel crushed. Your Word promises that You do not turn away from the brokenhearted. You draw near. Lord, today I lift up every person who is grieving someone they love. Comfort the mother missing her child, the child missing a parent, the husband missing his wife, the wife missing her husband, the family missing someone whose place can never be filled, and every heart carrying a loss that others may not see. Thank You for the beautiful memories of those we have loved. Thank You for the laughter, the lessons, the hugs, the conversations, and even the ordinary moments that became precious after they were gone. Father, when grief comes in waves, hold us steady. When memories bring tears, remind us that love does not become meaningless because someone is no longer physically beside us. When loneliness feels heavy, surround us with Your presence and give us the strength to keep moving forward one day at a time. Help us to trust You with the questions we cannot answer and the pain we cannot explain. Bring peace to troubled hearts, rest to weary minds, and hope to those who feel lost in sorrow. Lord, be especially near to anyone who is grieving today. Let them feel Your comfort in a personal and undeniable way. Remind them that they are seen, they are loved, and they do not have to carry their sorrow alone. Thank You for being our refuge, our comfort, and our strength. Thank You for walking beside us through every valley and for never leaving us when our hearts are broken. Give us courage for today, grace for this journey, and hope for tomorrow. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen. 💜🪽🦋✝️ Stacey

🇺🇸 July 4, 2026, Today's Prayer 🇺🇸 Scripture of the Day "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13 (NIV) Heavenly Father, Thank You for the freedom we enjoy and for the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect it. Today, we remember with grateful hearts that freedom has never come without sacrifice. Lord, Your Word reminds us that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. Help us never forget those who have served, sacrificed, suffered, and given their lives for others. Comfort the families who carry the weight of those sacrifices every day. Thank You for this nation, for its blessings, and for the opportunities You have given us. Help us never take our freedom for granted. May we honor You in all we do and stand for what is right with courage, faith, humility, and love. Bless our leaders with wisdom, our families with unity, our communities with kindness, and our land with peace. Heal our nation where there is division. Teach us to love one another, respect every life, show grace even when we disagree, and seek Your will above our own. Lord, protect those who serve our country today. Watch over our military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. Give strength to the weary, comfort to the grieving, hope to the discouraged, and peace to those carrying wounds that others cannot see. Above all, remind us that true freedom is found in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the greatest sacrifice of all, the sacrifice made on the cross for our sins, our salvation, and the promise of eternal life. May we celebrate today with gratitude, remember yesterday with honor, and walk into tomorrow with faith. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen. ✝️🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Stacey
