Haven't heard back from the OP? I'm curious if he/she attended the baptism. I'd like to hear "the rest of the story". :rolleyes:

Just because we are Christians and go to church doesn't mean we're always happy and the life of the party. We all have problems that get us down on occasion. It seems to be expected by some that we should always have a smile on our face and want to talk or visit. But people are different and...

So true! We need to be able to laugh at ourselves. ^_^ :ahah: I like the shirt.

This is an interesting article. Thanks for posting. I belong to a small church with a shrinking membership. I can count them on my fingers and toes -- on a good Sunday about 20 regular attendees, more often than not about 16. Of those, 10 are widows. So half of those who show on a good day...

Read 2 Timothy 3. Take a moment to ponder each and every description Paul gives of people in the last days. Compare them to what we're seeing in our world today. Really think about it, don't just glance over the words. Things are chaotic and it will only get worse.

We're all going to get old(er). o_O I think it's much easier to accept that if we keep doing what we've been doing that's gotten us this far! I fully understand about being a caregiver. My mother is 94. She's still on her own, lives in her own house, does daily activities, but I physically...

I've always heard that age is a state of mind. ;) And I guess that's true. We all approach it in our own way, both mentally and physically. I'm a few years from 70 yet, but I remember being excited about turning 65. It's one of the milestones I suppose. But I didn't feel any different! I don't...

I do admit to playing scrabble (not online, but on the tablet) ;) . I spend time studying and researching my Sunday School lesson, as I teach. I also read (there are some good sites to find free online or downloadable books), look at gardening websites, study birds on some ornithology sites, and...

Ordered Discovering Daniel: Finding Our Hope in God's Prophetic Plan Amid Global Chaos, by Amir Tsarfati. It arrived today and I plan to enjoy it. He's a very thorough and readable author.

8:45 PM Currently 76. Very nice with a light breeze. Had a high of 84. Supposed to be mid 90s by Sunday.

Deodorant commercials... We normally mute commercials. But even with that, they're ridiculous. Every other commercial seems to be about deodorant. The "whole body" ones are the worse. Does everyone suddenly smell in all the wrong places? :rolleyes:

The temperatures have been so up and down that the plants just sat there until this week. They like steady warm/hot weather. This week they doubled in size. They should grow rapidly now. That's a shame. I love getting outside and playing with the plants.

Not particularly. We're normally high and dry. There are creeks, streams, as well as a river that goes through town, but work on that over the years has limited possible flooding that used to take place. That being said, we're in a flood watch through Sunday afternoon. That mostly takes into...
