trial and error

Okay, I roamed about on my blog settings and layout and found a new layout I liked better and I think you can leave comments now, Darlene, and whoever else wants to. I sure wish I knew more about computer stuff. But I know once I quit learning or wanting to learn the neurons die fast and I'd like to keep all the little brain cells i have. But I sure do wish I had a computer savy kid!

Life is hard, but God is good

It's made me feel sad to hear of all the people I know and love to be ill, dying, fighting cancer, having strokes, waiting for donor organs and then knowing of the spouse and children and parent's sadness and struggles to cope, to say nothing of the person afflicted and trying to cope, to survive. And it's been at the top surface of my mind the last few days. Then today as I was driving about to my jobs, I heard the song, Life is Hard, but God is Good. And the part of the verse where it says, God never promised it would be easy, but He said you'd never be alone, hit me and comforted me and I hope it comforts you, too.

Oh, won't it be wonderful to get to heaven! No more sickness, death, pain, strokes, cancer, organ failure and whatever else ails us. Oh, the stories we will have to share with one another, the tears God will wipe away, and our joyous laughter that the old world is no more.

Let us all take hope and courage in Jesus Christ when our own hope and courage fails. This world is not our home.

Praying for each of you.

end of May/ start of June

Next week is a mini "vacation". It's campmeeting time. So no church as usual. Then the following week we will be reading the first 14 chapters of Job and will do that for 3 weeks (14 chapters) then we will be done with Job. Even though Job's friends erred in their explanations of Job's sufferings, there are many truths remaining about God, pick your favorites as you read along. Some of them are so awesome and others so comforting. I have more stuff outlined in Job than the previous chapters of the Bible.

There will be no scrapbooking/ stamping class the first Tuesday of June. We all need a rest and then we will see how things go for July.
