What is he up to?

"The" president--I write it that way because he is not 'my' president--I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him...which is not far!

Shrinking the federal government is one thing--a wrong thing, I believe. But his attack on colleges and universities for teaching things about the reality of our country is another.

I have an M.T.S. from Harvard and I'm so proud they are standing up to him. I hope all the schools do the same.

A judge has halted his de-funding of higher education, but the next time Trump obeys a judge will be the first.

We're only a few months into his presidency, but he is creating chaos in the nation of my birth and the country I love.

God help us.

Please, God, help us....

 

Warm at last

 Today it was in the low 70's. I'm happy again!

We did Bible Study at Trinity. We're going to read the Gnostic Gospels which weren't found until 1945 though they were written in the first three centuries A.D.

They are very interesting and a bit surprising.

I think people will be delighted by them.

We'll see....

Dental niightmare!

 Last week I fell. (I'm fall prone, I'm afraid).

Besides some cuts and bruises I busted my lip and loosened one of my front teeth.

The dentist today told me I had to choose: pull it and wear a one tooth dental devise or else try to save it (which didn't think she could.)

Pretty awful choice!

When I get her email I'll have to decide.

Alas and alack....

A Great Easter!

We rented a house in Washington, CT for Easter.

Five bed rooms and bathrooms, a swimming pool and hot tub, a trampoline and play room. Amazing.

Josh and his three teenage kids, Mimi, Tim and Eleanor (who is 7) and Bern and me--9 people.

We had a great time. It was even warm enough to get in the pool.

Good food, good wine and beer and great company.

Josh took me to church on Easter--12 minutes away--and it was a wondrous celebration! Organ and trumpet and solo for the music and I got lots of feed back on my sermon.

Being with kids and grandchildren on Easter is resurrection in itself.

Alleluia, Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed, Alleluia!

 

Easter journey

 We rented a 5 bedroom house in Litchfield County for ourselves. our kids an grandkids.

We're leaving Sat. afternoon and come back Mon. morning. So, no more posts until then.

Have a GREAT AND THANKFUL EASTER!

"Good" Friday

 That's what we Christians call it, though it was the day the person we say in the son of God died then.

Kind of odd--but understandable.

It wasn't Jesus' teaching or miracles that gives us hope--it was his death on a cross.

So, knowing on Easter he will rise makes the day he died 'good'.

Rather odd to non-Christians, but makes perfect sense to us.

Celebrate Good Friday with the joy that comes on Sunday....

Oh, one other thing...

 Today is also my birthday--another favorite day of mine.

I got lots of greetings in email and messages and in person at church this afternoon.

My God, I'm 78!

I feel about 40 and think like a teenager....
