My Date

Richard surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses!

I love this picture of us!



(In case you're wondering, the white stuff on Richard's shirt and pants is wax. He was the only one tall enough to bump into the Chinese lanterns.)

Heavenly Music

One of the best things about Sabbaths here are the music performances. My elementary students look and sound so angelic when they sing! And, even though enrollment is low and a few of the girls had to be coaxed to sing tenor because of it, the high school chorale was impressive, too! The kids love to sing here (or so it would seem). For vespers, Richard played guitar while the officers of the Boy's Club led out in song service.

This past Monday night, I attended a Women’s Communion in our community.   I thought I’d be participating in the Lord’s Supper, and discovered instead a wonderful fellowship meal awaiting us, where I was fed up both physically and spiritually.   I was especially happy to be there, considering the speaker was my former “teacher/mentor” from the class I no longer could attend after I started working.   She is retiring and this was her last chance to address us all, and she didn't fail us.   After thirty years of ministry, she spoke about all the things she’s learned “since I was perfect.” Perfect, right?!?!

How we need to eat up Scripture, but at the same time, fi...

That Time The Lord Lined Up All My Ducks and Gave Me the Perfect Ammunition

I must have not been listening to God very well this week, because He had to use three completely different sources coming together as one for me to finally go, “Oh, I get it!” One of the first things I do in the morning, as I’m just waking up, is roll over in bed, grab my phone and read the Velvet Ashes blog post for the day.   I always look forward to Fridays because the post on this day wraps up the week’s theme, stretches my thinking about it, and lingers with me throughout the weekend.   This week’s theme is on Personality, and I was especially looking forward to learning more about the nine Enneagram types.    Kimberly Todd did a great job of giving an overview of each type, and how they are connected to others, and my appetite was wet.   I immediately began to speculate what number I was and even clicked on a link to help me find out, but because it directed me to a site where I needed to pay money, I gave up and moved on to my next morning activity....
