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 […]
Horizontal Snow
Today was a day of horizontal snow. It is just CRAZY windy outside, and even though it’s not snowing much we are in a blizzard warning till midnight. I talked to Jon a while ago, and he had been up on a pole…the first one he’s climbed in maybe six months. He said it hard […]
Pride or Humility
Did I tell you a while back that I was reading about pride in a devotional? The writer suggested spending one month in concentrated prayer asking God to expose and remove every kind, form, and degree of pride from your heart whether from evil spirits or your own corrupt nature.

More Quotes

Gotta Get Moving
We just finished watching the first regular episode of “Chuck”. It was the best one ever!! I hope you all enjoyed it! Gotta love it! What are you up to? We’re pretty relaxed around here. Or maybe it’s called lazy. I should go down and get on the treadmill for a little while and find […]
Cold Saturday
Today I was home by myself while Jon was working on a truck at the shop. It was a great chance to sort, pitch, and put away (some of my favorite activities). I cleaned out the med cabinet, put away all the rest of my Christmas stuff (except for the lighted houses, jingle tree, and […]
A New Pattern
Christmas is over; the tree is down. I still have some things up and I’ll keep my lighted houses up for quite a while. We had a wonderful time with all the kids and grandkids together. Everyone was healthy and the cousins had SO much fun together. I still need to put up some new […]
