When I started blogging 5-1/2 months ago, every day I had something I wanted to share. Now my mind seems to be in neutral, and I have to think real hard for material. Not for the smiles; they come every day. Other stuff, though, is getting harder to come by. I [...]

……………if you don’t know already is the last day of July!  My, my.  You know what that means.  In only six months, Christmas 2008 will be history.  Do you have your shopping lists made and your menus planned out?  (At my house, we actually DO have our menu planned for Thanksgiving!)  Now the shopping lists———that’s [...]

We are the sheep of His pasture.  What a comforting and soothing thought.  Jesus is the Good Shepherd.  How blessed we are that this is so.
My Power for Today devotional for July 29th centered around the above thoughts.
The writer referred to some research she had done in regard to what a shepherd actually does for [...]

Among other activities of my day, I attended Mr. Johnson’s funeral.  Mr. Johnson was the father of a friend and former co-worker of mine.  He was 94!
I already knew that Mr. Johnson was a real peppery fellow—-friendly, talkative, energetic, and funny.  He was an example of how most of us would like to grow old, [...]

Tonight we watched an episode of Cold Case.  The story centered around the tragic death of a young woman in 1919 who was involved in the Suffragette (however you spell it!) Movement.  It got me thinking about the many, many changes in society that have taken place since that time in our history.  All you [...]

Since I didn’t do my Thursday night post, I thought I’d get out of sync and do one tonight.
I tried to get in bed earlier last night (although not much) because I knew I’d be crawling out this morning MUCH earlier in order to be at the hospital for Hattie’s surgery.  Hattie is 6 years [...]

I really can’t think of a bless-ed thing to talk about tonight of any substance.  I’m just going to say it’s been a good day.  Got a few things done around the house, talked to a nephew and niece, and went to Bible class tonight.  In a way, the routineness of the day is a [...]

 My good friend Greg insisted on equal time for puppies, since I have shared several photos of our new cat, Barney!  So here are pictures of the newest grand-dog, Lola.  She is 6 months old and has already worked her way into the hearts of her parents, sisters, and grandparents!    She stayed under [...]

I just finished reading Joel Osteen’s “Become a Better You,” and I’m here to tell you if I could implement all of his advice, I’d be so good ya’ll couldn’t stand me!  I’m not usually into televangelists but, with an open mind, and a knowledge of your own of what the Bible teaches, I think you [...]

Hearts expand; they really do.  Just when you think you’ve had enough and you’re gonna STOP inviting anyone else into your life to love (and maybe lose), you turn a corner.  Around that corner is a rusty-brown, six-month-old German Shepherd mix (or some such) puppy named Lola who is in need of a loving, nurturing [...]
