If You Don’t Like Memphis Politics Today………………….

…………………..just wait until tomorrow, and they will change!  The change MAY be for the better, and then, well…………..
(John, are you out there?  This should particularly amuste you!)
Just to update you.  Our self-proclaimed “fantastic” mayor of no less than 18 years resigned this summer midway through his most recent term.  Then he changed his mind about [...]

Some Smileys

A good Wednesday evening to you.  I hope you have smiled today.  May I share some of the things that have encouraged and made me smile today?

A bumper sticker that read, “My boss is a Jewish carpenter.”
Janice’s “What are the Odds?” blog.
Actually finding my way to the church building of an outlying congregation.  It was [...]

Whew…What a Day #2!

You know that old saying about when it rains, it pours?  That would aptly describe the last few weeks, and today in particular, at our house!

It has been a very busy Monday and Tuesday, and I just let time slip up on me last night without getting a post done.  One of our dear brothers changed addresses early Monday morning, and it was necessary to get busy with our calling committee to let everyone know of funeral arrangements.  This involves, [...]

Weekend Stuff

First and foremost, the news about Holly’s progress is still all good.  Getting better every day.  Doctors are even talking about miracles and being glad we are a praying family.  He just doesn’t know how big and wide are the reaches of this family nor how many prayers have been offered.  Praise and thanksgiving to [...]
