Precious Lives

This week I have been thinking about 4 infants, all born with severe problems. Two of these I have taken care of and two others I know about, including Canaan Michael. Only one baby had a really good outcome from a human perspective. On a lighter note Macy's parents are prising God for a truly miraculous recovery with the help of modern medicine. Sandy (from Cedar campus) and Terry can also thank the Lord and modern medicine for their health.

So as I continue to pray for these families, and count my blessings, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Get back to normal?

What is normal?
In the last week we have experienced time change, the end of the election season, and record breaking warm temperatures. Besides that I've gone on a shopping bus trip, and gotten new glasses. I like variety more than routine, and I love the great weather, but I am beginning to wonder what routine or normal might be like. Next week I plan to wallpaper my upstairs bathroom, only one wall, but I've never done wallpapering before. Just one of a few small home improvement projects around here.
I am certainly glad the political adds are over! I wonder how the economy will shake out now that the election is settled?
Shalom

Paperwork

Our buffet, as well as other surfaces, serve as a place to catch papers. Fliers and notices from work, school, and church, coupons, voters guides, newsletters, random pieces of mail, and the church newsletter update. All of these papers were present on various horizontal surfaces in our house this afternoon. Tonight I am trying to organize some of the clutter, as well as deal with bills. Then I will get together paperwork for medical savings reimbursement. I can think of dozens of things I would rather do. I am planning on watching a movie while getting the paperwork done, to make it more palatable. If I get it done tonight I can be at peace to enjoy the sunshine tomorrow.
Loving this beautiful indian summer
