Crazy Times...

A few years ago it almost looked like we were heading into easy street. Kids were moving out, bills were getting paid, house note was on the fast track and 401k was soaring. But I should have know that would not last. Nobody warns you about when your kids hit the 18+ to 25 stage that things would be crazier than when they were teenagers! Somehow we are taking care of all of their lives as well as still trying to run a household. It is necessary and hopefully temporary but things have never been this crazy before.

Plus the oldest daughter is pregnant. So I will soon be a grandpa. That certainly is exciting and wonderful. But it just doesn't sound right. How did I get to be this old? I so clearly remember being their age. I guess your just never prepared to be at the next stage.

One day at a time and trust that God doesn't give us more than we can handle!

The Daily

I love the newspaper. I love to be able to sit and read through it. Unfortunately, I usually don't have time to read it. It piles up in the recycle bin. This week I got the bill for next years subscription. Like everything else, the cost of subscription has increased dramatically. The logical conclusion then is to say goodbye to the daily. To join the post modern world and skip the old school print. Hate to face that, but it is just time to let it go.

Today was a Good Day

Only two showed up for Bible study this morning, me and Wayne. But that was all I needed. It was one of those days we never got to the study, just a day that needed fellowship and listening. Thanks Wayne.

Also,

Happy Birthday Jerry

Let Jerry week begin...
