  • My Life ... an Update.

    Being it's too hard to think right now?
    I'm going to blog by email excerpt -


    "Can you do that?" you ask.
    "Why yes, I believe I can." I say.

    To my Lobstah Sistahs - "I've got a blog, and a podcast and 3 daughters, four
    cats, a dog and a husband who works 14 hour days!!! CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!! *LOL* ....."

    To my Niece - "Adam has come up and spent the weekend  with us a number of times and I'm really
    becoming quite attached to him."

    To a Lady out West wanting soap - "My Dad is in a hospice home recuperating from pnuemonia and we're expecting him
    to be going home in the next day or two."

    To an Ebay Customer - "I will get your item safely packaged and will email you again when it has
    shipped!"

    To an Oregonian who found me through a Google Search for a Lucky Pig - "I'll just pop him in the mail to ya on Monday and he should arrive by week's
    end! Please consider him my gift to you."

    To my Lovely Isabelle - "P.S. Did you see my Sewing Machine Dreams
    balance???? 482.dollars!!!!"

  • Funny thing ....

    After all these years?
    Mister has decided he not only wants to KNIT?
    But, now he wants to BLOG.
    (He's an excellent writer, btw.)
    So if you get a chance - go over to CanoeDad's place
    and welcome him to BLOGLand!
    Oh ... and congratulate him on his new scarf, too.

    Thanks ....

  • I am EXHAUSTED! But very happy ....

    I'm really not together enough to share ALL there is ....

    But, here's some of it ....

    PayPal Sewing Machine Fund 482.87

    2 emails today requesting special orders!

    I'm sorry .... there's more ... but,
    I just need to go to sleep.

    Daddy is at the local Hospice Home.
    It is a lovely place, with wonderful people.
    We have high hopes of his recovery from the pneumonia ....

    Just so random.

    Goodnight my Friends.

    Oh. Don't forget to pray.

    Thanks.

  • Do you Have a FaceBook? UPDATED

    You may want to view this
    video .... http://albumoftheday.com/facebook/

    I'll be closing my account as soon as possible.
    And if I gave birth to you?
    I would like for you to follow my example.

    As one of us has found out? If you attempt to close your account?
    The only thing necessary to reopen it? Just sign-in. SO.
    Being that your info is still MASSIVELY out there?
    I suggest not answering most of the profile questions!

    OK.

    So Daddy is home now.
    He has pneumonia and is very disoriented.
    Decisions on some things will be made today and
    I will be heading out in the next minutes to be
    there when they are.

    It's been a very long day .....

  • Mark Chapter 8 - some thoughts ....

    They had just been with Him when he fed 5000 people with some bread and fish.
    Now they are all anxious and concerned - "these people are three days hungry." they say.
    "What will we do?" "What should we do - and how?"

    Are we so quick to forget His attention?
    We don't remember his provision in desolate places?
    How can we live as though we never witnessed the
    miracle of His Presence?

    It's faith in His supremacy.
    It's trusting His love.
    It's believing in the miracle of His mercy for each individual creation.

    If I've been fed in the crowd of 5000;
    sat on a hillside and heard His voice speaking light and truth into my life;
    how can I not believe that He will continue to sustain me?
    What an insult to His tender heart.
    I must believe - because in my trust?
    I tell Him how much I love Him.
    There is no option of not believing.
    I've seen the miracle - there is no turning back.
    Only trust.

    Amen.
