I’m here!!
An uneventful flight; actually, travel was very good. This Delta/Northwest merger has resulted in a very classy airline. The service was excellent, personnel very professional, very helpful. Compared to some of the service we’ve experienced in the last year, this rates very well! A year ago on Dec. 23, I was sitting at O’Hare, full…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Part I
Some of you know I’m a musician. That affects how I remember things and how I learn. No to mention that I’m a child of the 60s and 70s so it should be no surprise to find music throughout these pages. Today we borrow from Bowie – David the musician, as opposed to Jim, of…

Thinking About Eagles
I saw one again today, not that uncommon out here; I saw one yesterday, too. But they sure are fascinating. I’ve always loved birds, little birds that come to feed in your yard, big birds, birds of prey – hawks, owls, osprey, eagles. This morning’s message delivered by a guest preacher referenced eagles, too, one…

I Won’t Do It …..
No, I won’t, I will not title this nor will I think in terms of how many hours are left before I get on a plane and head for home. I just am not ready to think about my time here with Meghan coming to an an end. So I will focus on the…

Jump Out of the Boat!!
As mentioned earlier, we attended a great church, Seacoast Church, just blocks from Meghan’s apartment, on Christmas Eve, and then a satellite campus in Mount Pleasant on the weekend. The young preacher had a great message and I have two points scribbled in large letters on a piece of paper that were made during the…

Countdown 57 hours – First Day of Winter
Okay not even the low number of hours till I’m hugging my Meghan can begin this post. The feature here is, get this, minus 6° (6 below zero) air temp with a WIND CHILL of minus 28 degrees. That’s a wind chill factor of 28 DEGREES BELOW ZERO right now, as I’m writing. Didn’t…

Countdown 80 Hours – a New Day
One of my favorite Scriptures was given to me years ago by an adult student. She often referred to Lamentations 3:22-23 where we’re told that the Lord’s mercies are new every morning! There’s a thought with which to begin every day! A whole new day and one less until I’m hugging my daughter and being…

Countdown 4 days or about 96 hours!
So I started this on Friday and as so often occurs, time got away from me and this is now out-of-date. Let’s see what can be salvaged. I was excited about it being 4 days or 96 hours, and that is now reduced to three-and-a-half days and 84 hours – the inevitable passage of time. …

Countdown 8 Days
One week and one day – I can hardly wait. What does that mean anyway? Of course I can wait. How would I NOT wait? I will do what countless women have done through the ages – clean something! In fact, I have closets, cupboards, drawers, all of which will be at least touched…

COUNTDOWN 9 Days part one
Countdown to …? I’m counting down till I get on a plane and fly to a warmer climate for Christmas and nine days of holiday. That would be exciting any time, but most special now because I’m spending my holiday with one of my daughters. It’s a gift from the girls together, very precious to…
