Year: 2008

A very Happy New Year to all of you. I have no great words of wisdom,just what the poster has to say. That might not be too easy to do, but with God it is possible!

This statement made me stop and think.  It is so easy to get
too busy with Christmas that we forget about the reason for the season.
Have a great week.

Merry Christmas —
Hope you are having a wonderful time.
May you feel the peace, joy and love of
this time of year.

This weekend we took a couple hours off and headed for Morro Bay.  The waves were amazing.  For those who know Morro Bay.  These waves are crashing over the breakwater.  I was a couple of waves the spurted at least 200 feet into the air.  I took about 200 pictures.   It was something else to see!
The quote came out of The Message.  For all you musicians I have to put the whole Psalm 98 here.

Psalm 98

1 Sing to God a brand-new song. He’s made a world of wonders!
He rolled up his sleeves, He set things right.

2 God made history with salvation, He showed the world what he could do.

3 He remembered to love us, a bonus To his dear family, Israel—indefatigable love.
The whole earth comes to attention. Look—God’s work of salvation!

4 Shout your praises to God, everybody! Let loose and sing! Strike up the band!

5 Round up an orchestra to play for God, Add on a hundred-voice choir.

6 Feature trumpets and big trombones,  Fill the air with praises to King God.

7 Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause,  With everything living on earth joining in.

8 Let ocean breakers call out, “Encore!”  And mountains harmonize the finale—

9 A tribute to God when he comes, When he comes to set the earth right.
He’ll straighten out the whole world, He’ll put the world right, and everyone in it.

Have a great week!

P.S.  I put a few more wave pictures on my Flickr site

Happy Thanksgiving!

For the last couple of days we have been down in Long Beach at a teacher convention.  Was able to glean a few new ideas, find a few deals with the exhibits, and see a bunch of our “old” friends.  Had a great time, but I was ready to come home.  I think I’ve gotten pretty spoiled living away from the big city!

I thought this poster was very appropriate.  It is so easy to focus on everything that is going wrong.  But we really are very blessed.  God, who can breath out stars and universes, cares enough about us to have come and lived here.  We may seem like nothing, but in God’s eyes we are very precious! That is something we can be VERY THANKFUL for!!

I thought about this on Sabbath and Sunday, but not on Monday!  Things are really starting to get busy as we head into Christmas.  I think we have four free evenings between now and Dec. 22.

I think it is so great that even in death, leaves can be so pretty.  I think God designed them to be so beautiful just for our enjoyment.  We have an awesome God?

Hope you have a great week!

I thought this poster was very appropriate.  Everyone keeps talking about how the economy is so bad and getting worse.  But it helps to remember that we don’t have to put all our trust in our bank accounts and retirement funds. We need to focus on God and other things will take their
right places.
Hope everyone has a great week.

No excuse this week for making Tuesday my new Monday.

There are so many things being said about this election.  I’m so glad that we can look at these events from God’s point of view.   I may not like everything that gets voted for, but I do know that God is still in control!

Just thought I would take a moment to let all of you know that you mean a lot to me.

It is so true that we often don’t take the time to let others know how much they are appreciated.
So thanks for your friendship.
