Cheshire schools are closed tomorrow

It's going to snow tonight.

Things are closing down.

The snow and ice Saturday night might cancel church, I learned today at Bible study.

I hate winter....

 

Almost nothing has gone right....

 Trump has been President for 2 weeks and almost nothing has gone right.

And his co-president, Elon Musk has caused a myriad of problems.

Laws have been broken.

Tradition has been ignored.

Wrong has been done.

And what can we do?

I'm not sure.

Pray, at least.

Get involved in issues.

Add ourselves to the opponents of the administration.

Speak up and speak out.

Resist, resist, resist.

Do all we can.

It's going to be a long and troubling four years....

Alas....

Snow on snow....

The snow in our yard had almost melted away.

But I woke up this morning to another 3 inches or so.

It's been warm today, but not enough to melt the snow.

Snow on snow is not the problem. The problem is the cold weather.

I'm always cold.

Eating dinner tonight with a sweater and a jacket on, I told Bern I was so cold.

She had on a long sleeve shirt and a tee shirt and said she was warm and thinking about taking off the long sleeve shirt.

Maybe something's wrong with me.

I'll ask my doctor about it when I see her.

 

Reading my last blog...

I realized I left out all the pictures of my children and grand-children.

Two kids and four grand-kids take up a lot of pictures.

Two of the grand-kids will be going to college next year.

Another is 15 and another is 8.

Unbelievable, all of them.

I love them so.

Bern does facebook with the youngest 3 times a week.

I often peak in and am always greeted warmly.

Life has been long for me (thank God!) and I have been so very, very blessed for such a life and for my children and grandchildren.

Praise be....

 

So many pictures....

 The two drawers on my desk are full of pictures from the past.

Many are of me as I grew up.

Some are from family gatherings--both Bradley family and Jones family.

Many are from churches I have served.

I'm baptizing babies, serving communion, preaching, standing in coffee hour with people I knew from those churches.

In some of them, my hair is still brown!

I look at some of them every day.

They keep me grounded.

Looking at old pictures can cause a smile or a tear.

It's worth doing--believe me,,,,

 

Wrong lessons

Sunday is the Feast of Jesus being presented in the Temple as a child.

But the readings we had at Bible Study were different.

We're going to go with the readings for the presentation in the Temple. People won't have them to read, but will need to listen.

Listening is a valuable thing.

Listening is good.

Listening will make us whole.

We'll see....

 

Falling down

 As I grow older, I am more unsteady.

I fall down--usually coming inside from outside.

Today I fell and broke my glasses.

I don't need them to read or do what I do on-line, but I do need them to drive.

Bern, somehow, found my old glasses and they will let me drive until I see the Eye Doc next week and get new glasses.

We shall see!

(Sorry, I didn't mean to make that allusion.)
