As you probably know, one of my favorite authors in Hannah Whitall Smith. I just finished reading “The Unselfishness of God”, and I love this quote: “Every fear, every perplexity, every anxiety, find an all-satisfying answer in God–He Himself, what He is in nature and character. His ways, or His plans, or even His promises, […]
Hump Day
Hump day!! I’m glad there are only 2 work days left this week. Yesterday I only worked a half day after going to a funeral in the morning. We’ve caught 5 mice within 6 feet of my desk in the last couple of weeks. UUGGHHH!!!! Glad they are caught…wish they didn’t exist!!!!I came home from […]
Sunday Potpourri
We had a good Sunday. Pastor Murdoch was here to preach and really connected with all of the congregation…more so than I’ve ever seen any time he’s been here before. He preached on the four kinds of faith…head faith (knowledge only), dead faith (no fruit in the life), devil’s faith (fully knowing the truth but […]
Olympics Are Back!!!
The Olympics are back!!! I love watching the Olympics, and I think the winter games are my favorite. It’s so sad that the luger died today…21, wow. I don’t understand what people put themselves in order to compete. I like to watch, but I don’t get what it takes inside a person to do that. […]
Doctors Again
For healthy people it sure seems we are going to the doctor a lot. Me last week, Jon twice this week, me again tomorrow…One of these days we’ll get it all figured out. Any big plans for the weekend? We have some potential plans with Jon on call to keep it interesting. Tomorrow is Trever’s […]
From "Streams in the Desert"
This is the February 7 devotional in “Streams in the Desert” “Why art thou cast down, O my soul” (Psalm 43:5). Is there ever any ground to be cast down? There are two reasons, but only two. If we are as yet unconverted, we have ground to be cast down; or if we have been […]

In Process
I hope your week is going well. Do you have weekend plans? We’re planning on going out to eat with friends Friday night and planning on going to Tre’s game on Saturday. Then, of course, there’s the snow that Jon will get to move after it all falls…another 4 to 5 inches they’re saying. I’ve […]

Yesterday I went with Tabbi to watch Tre’s basketball game then came home to finish cleaning. Last night we went out to eat with Connie and Larry and my mom for her 91st birthday. It was a wild party!!!! Then today we went to Des Moines to visit Megan and Greg (a week late for […]
Back to Normal
Life returns to normal. Jon is home in the evenings again after working a full week of at least 16 hour days during and after the ice storm. He falls asleep really fast in his recliner, but he needs to catch up on some sleep. Even better news, we’ve gone 48 hours without a trip […]
