"Bob's your uncle."

Hello to all my friends out there in blog-land! I know it has been quite a long time since I posted something significant. Things have been happening, yes, but my desire to chronicle them has left something to be desired. When I am full of many thoughts and plans change quickly I don't blog as much.

In blogs, one's life is an open book, for the whole world to see. The good, bad and ugly all could read this if they wanted. This is another reason I haven't been blogging. In some ways, my life has been private of late.

I have a lot to think about. Soon I am leaving the country. I am going to Guatemala in June for nine days to help out at a camp. It is going to be wonderful.

And then in August I am going to Africa.

I am very excited about Africa! And I have much to read and do. I have a feeling spring will bring acceleration and I'll be out of the country before you can say "Bob's your uncle."

So I ask for your prayers.

You're Here

Every step I take
You’re here.
The breath of God,
You make my life good.

Yesterday, you were there:
My peace,
My good tomorrow.

My life began
The day I met You,
And it will never end:
I believe You.

When I tremble
Love, You surround me.
Courage and Strength:
Mercy unending.

Take me away!
Lonely, I’m longing.
Forever honeymoon:
I believe you.

But if I stay
My heart is with You,
Consumed with grace
I will step again.

You are here.

Someone Turned Down the Thermostat

When I look outside it feels like today should be Christmas, not March! The wind is blowing, and the snow is drifting, sifting down and around and over, under and up. If there were more snow, it would be a blizzard. I am glad it is not.

I suppose it is really not that cold outside. It is probably only cold enough to keep the snow from melting. But yesterday was summer, and the contrast makes it very cold indeed.

Yesterday Rissa, Sully, Mo and I "took our wheels" to the courthouse and the big parking lot behind the city hall. That is what we do in the summer. Wearing shorts and tees, we enjoy the two single places in our town that a good "city" side-walk can be found. Yesterday I rollerbladed, Sully rode his bike, and Rissa used Mo's scooter. We had much fun, and got sweaty, too.

Today, someone turned down the thermostat. And I had almost convinced myself it was time to plant our garden.

Expelled

Hey ever-body! Check this trailer out. It is for a movie called "Expelled." It is about free speech, the social forces against God and creationism that are prevailing today, and the way people are defending Darwinism. Their defense seems almost to border on Nazi thinking. You know, the, lets-burn-books-we-disagree-with kind of thinking. I'm not sure if or when we will be able to see the movie, but doesn't it look intriguing?

Hope you all enjoy it!

Don't Forget About the Music

Hello to my (four) readers! As I come into a season of what may be more frequent posting, I wanted to remind all of you that you can enjoy music while you visit my site. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find a whole playlist of some of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy them!



It is a beautiful sunny day outside, a refreshing 50 degrees. We are getting seed catalogues in the mail. I'm going to fix the tires on my bike, and my cabin fever is begining to subside. I know "it's gonig to be a bright, bright sunshiney day"!



Thank you God for spring!

Liberty and Law

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Gal3:3

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal 5:13
