Menno-Hof Amish and Menonite Story Center

We visited the Menno-Hof Amish and Mennonite Story Center in Shipshewana, Indiana. It is worth the time to go on the tour and learn. These folks have a lot to teach us. I have a lot of respect for all they accomplish. The flower garden quilt in front of the center had NO weeds. Not […]

Monday

Monday — freezing peaches, turning tomatoes into spaghetti sauce, cooking sheep burgers for Josie (Big Mama), washing puppy blankets, and most important– talking to God. Lately, there seems to be an urgency for prayers. I like to pray ahead of what is coming. It takes the worry off. This morning I prayed for my family, […]

Learning

School is starting up again all over the country. It is an exciting time of anticipation. Even though I am not in a regular class room setting, I am still learning. The best way for me to learn new things is to talk with someone who is “doing it”. I do not learn from […]

Like

I like it when the Governor of Texas prays for his state. I will be joining him in prayers for rain. We had visitors from Dallas, last night. They said everything is hot, brown, and dry. It is good when elected leaders know where the real source of power comes from. I will be watching […]

I Don’t Understand

I don’t understand why the presidential hopeful candidates take shots at each other. I don’t understand why they think vicious attacks on the competition will get them elected. I think it would be smarter to discuss how they would fix the debt mess, the unemployment mess, the health care mess, and all the other messes […]

I Don’t Understand

I don’t understand whatever happened to saying “Thank you” . In the last six months, we have given birthday gifts, graduation gifts,and wedding gifts. We received only one”thank you”. We did not do it to be thanked. We gave the gifts because we wanted to bless another person. However, I believe that if someone does […]

Autumn

It is not official, but the autumn season has arrived. It doesn’t look like fall. It doesn’t feel like fall. However, last night I found the first cricket in the house. He ( or she) was skipping across the bathroom floor making loud cricket noises. Crickets in the house always announce that the season has […]

I Don’t Understand

I don’t understand why our government is even considering cutting retirement checks to Veterans and Social Security payments to seniors. At the same time, they continue to send huge amounts of our tax dollars overseas. I believe in helping the needy, the poor and the hungry, but not at the expense of those who have […]
