read moreSince the last week of October, we have cared for our granddaughter who is now out of the local rehab center and living with her other gran. She can walk, within reason, and needs to wear a brace on one leg, but arm casts are off and she is thinking about what comes next. Much prayer went up for her healing as we realize how close we came to losing her.
This was a stressful and busy time. Then we had another stressful incident. On our way home from a New Years dinner with friends, we stopped at red light ...

read moreI’ve been working on lots of things, but I haven’t gotten around to finishing very many things. There were a lot of interruptions last week and several meetings. Two were board meetings to strategize for the new year. It seems like everyone starts the year wanting to accomplish all the things we should have done last year (and maybe the year before). It’s pretty much the same as setting my personal goals here on my blog. Haha! How many things didn’t get done last year, and I put them on the list for this year?
