We have had a terrific summer! Our son's in-laws made their first trip to the USA. They are from England and had some reservations about visiting but before the trip had ended, they were talking about coming back next summer! We made a trek to the Black Hills and did ALL the tourist things including WALL DRUG! There was even time for a trip to Wyoming and Devils Tower! We did some house renovations in preparation for their visit so I hope if they come again next summer we can renovate the bathroom! It really needs a big face-lift!
School has started and I'm working 4 days a week. I have Fridays off and I really look forward to sleeping in! It also gives me an extra day to do planning.
Global warming - our summer has been VERY cool and this winter is predicted to be VERY cold, so I don't know that I can believe in global warming. My husband was hoping for a very hot and humid summer for the corn to ripen and he's still waiting!
Tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of 9-11. Keep all the families that lost loved ones in your prayers. Fly your flag and be proud of our wonderful United States of America. The Star Spangled Banner still flies high and mighty over the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!

Ready For Christmas
Thanksgiving is over and our son and daughter-in-law are back in Iowa. We're going to North Dakota for Christmas with our daughter so I'm not putting up all the Christmas decor that I usually do. My mother-in-law made me a ceramic Christmas tree that lights up so I will put that out and a few other favorite decorations.
We had snow today but not a lot, just enough to make things messy. Hopefully it won't get cold enough to freeze tonight. I have to make my trek out to the country tomorrow morning for my Mon-Wed family and I like nice dry roads!
Let's remember that Christ is a big part of Christmas and Jesus is the reason for every Christmas season!!!

Let's All Keep Praying
Considering the outcome of our presidential election, we still need to keep praying! Pray that our new president will allow our God in Heaven to guide and direct him.
Today is Veteran's Day and we need to remember all our military heroes that gave their lives for our safety and freedom. Also keep praying for all our active military who are also keeping us safe and free.
Precious Lord, take my hand...

One Minute Each Night
One Minute Each Night.....
This is the scariest election, we as Christians have ever faced, and from the looks of the polls, Christians aren't voting Christian value. We all need to be on our knees.
Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. Scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.
This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime. 2 Chronicles 7:14...'If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'
During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , it's people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .
The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!!!
If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M Eastern Time, 8:00 P.M. Central Time, 7:00 P.M Mountain Time 6:00 P. M. Pacific Time..... stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States , our Troops, our Citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the USA .
If you know any who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
Thank you. Please pass this on to anyone you think will want to join us.God Bless You!!!

I'm Back!!!
It's been hot here and our air conditioner has been running steadily. I thank God for that every day. Our neighbors of over 15 years moved to Idaho and boy do we miss them! The new residents haven't moved in yet so it's strangely dark and quiet over there. School is going to start in a couple of weeks so our humble city will be jolted back to routine again. Stay away from the high school area at 3:15 as that's when school is dismissed and those kids come roaring out of the parking lots and tear down the streets!
"The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful, kindly deed,
A hand reached out to help us when we find ourselves in need -
Oh, make us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces
That come to us with sweet surprise from never-dreamed-of places." -Helen Steiner Rice

It's Been Too Long!
I was going to stay on task with this blog but as you can tell I haven't been doing that. It's been a dreary month and I hope that the months that follow will be brighter and cheerier. There's been a lot going on that will hopefully resolve itself eventually.
I guess that's all I have to say right now so I'll close.
"Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot." Luke 12:15
