A Story to Warm our Hearts

Being the animal lover that I am, the CBS Evening News had a story that I wanted to repeat here, just in case you didn’t get a chance to see it.
I believe the man’s name that was mentioned was Steve…………….ahhhhh, now I can’t remember his name for sure.  Anyway, he and other pilots form a [...]

Good Evening on this Fine Wednesday!

Dearly beloved…………………………………..I am in a great deal of pain tonight, so I’m going to make this short.  It has been a good day.  Finished cleaning for the little Green family.  Nephew Phil raked and bagged 20 bags of leaves, and that was much appreciated.  Went to church and had a good class as well as [...]

Quiet Strength

First, let me address the dirty Santa question raised by Greg.  I mentioned we would be having a dirty Santa swap at our church Christmas party Friday evening.   This is a lot of fun and, believe it or not, fists don’t usually fly!    Everyone who wants to be involved brings a gift in [...]

Hey There Dear Ones

Wednesday Windings

The last few weeks have been incredibly busy, and today was no exception.  As most of you know, I have been working in a training capacity at trying to qualify for an at-home typist job for a couple of months.  The ending of this thing is 10 training jobs, which I completed just today.  Now [...]

The Window Through Which We Look

——————copied from the Berclair Beacon, our congregation’s weekly bulletin:
A young couple moved into a new neighborhood.  The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.  “That laundry is not very clean,” she said.  “She doesn’t know how to wash correctly.  Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her [...]
