That’s the way my thoughts are running tonight.  You may have surmised by previous questions and thoughts put forth in other blogs that I am struggling with this year’s election.  I know I am not alone in that.
On the one hand I have the influence of my dad’s politics who worked on the WPA and [...]

Tonight was the last service Josh is to be with us.  As I’ve mentioned before, he’s going into active duty as a military chaplain.  From here he will go to Ft. Bliss, Texas, and then no telling where.  Josh is a very sweet guy, still less than 30 years old.  He’s become a friend in [...]

……….also known as “attaboys” and “attagirls” awards handed out.
Our favorite place to eat, The Pancake Shop, is more than just a place to eat.  It is a gathering place.  At first, people’s faces start looking familiar because mostly the same people are there every day.  Then you start sharing conversation and laughs.  You know if [...]

I was getting an inordinate amount of e-mail notifications from Wordpress to “moderate,” sometimes 20+ per day.  Only one was a legitimate comment from someone whose comments I’ve seen at other blog sites.  This had been going on for a couple of weeks.  So…………..having the ear of someone who knows what to do about this [...]

Well, I’m starting my week out of sync again, so instead of a Sunday evening blog, here’s a Monday morning one!
We had a farewell fellowship after church last night for Josh.  Josh is leaving us to go into active duty Army as a chaplain and is headed for Fort Bliss, Texas.  In the 2+ years [...]

It’s been a busy week, so I’m afraid I’m a little behind with checking in to blog……………..also with reading your blogs.  I’ll do better next week.
Remember that missionary I told you about Sunday night who needed $13,000 to hold on to land in Ghana?  He left for home Monday because he went away from our [...]

Anybody out there but me ever get stressed and strung out?  Lately, at our house, like at a lot of middle-class households these days, the budget and money have been a pretty big stress factor.  I really have not stressed about it like I would have two or three years ago.  I’ve learned a little [...]

What a wonderful thing it is………….God’s family, isn’t it?
Tonight was special and heartwarming in several ways.  At church, we walked into the auditorium expecting to see the usual faces (which is not a bad thing!).    But two people stood off to the side and, as I got closer to them, I realized they [...]

It has been a quiet evening at my house so far.  We ate in, making use of some leftover vegetables, and made some cornbread.
The day started early because of the need to get a family member to a doctor’s appointment.  Then later in the day, we went back to pick her up and give her a [...]

Smiles abound all around us, inside and outside the house!  Tonight I’m sharing pics of two of the most recent ones!!
1.  We stepped out the door this afternoon, late, to go to the PS for supper.  My eyes were drawn to the birdbath in the middle of the yard where the neighborhood cat we are [...]
