Cont. of Patches…………………………………...

Over the 14 years that Patches lived with us, she stayed in the garage most every night until it got so warm in the summer and then she would stay outside at night. She loved her own “space” and the garage was the security it brought from other night “stalkers” so staying in the garage worked for... Sign in to see full entry.

The first of a long line of feline “angels” was “Patches”...

She was a scrany long haired-calico stray that came to us from the field behind our house about four years after moving here. Over the years we have had many types of of cats with different types of hair but she was the only "long haired" cat we have had. When she began to hang around wanting food,...

Handicaps...we all have them; some more than others...

I've seemed to let the time go and have kept busy with things around here; haven't felt like writing much. The weather has been just beautiful until yesterday. Now the rain is here and it's getting colder. Maybe it's the "Pending death or the Death itself" that visited our lives this week for my... Sign in to see full entry.

When we give it away for Him, God gives it back to us ...

My husband is always receiving free caps and pens and things like that from the pump companies he orders his supplies from; advertising the company name. He quit wearing caps a long time ago but a few months ago, he had received another cap and so he put it in the closet. When a cap was on the list... Sign in to see full entry.

Reaping the rewards from Africa…………………………...

Memories of a trip of a life-time have been etched on my husband’s mind. From the look in his eyes I knew he had a different outlook on life itself; especially, for the children when he stepped off the van yesterday. We came across a verse in the bible a couple of years ago and I had highlighted it... Sign in to see full entry.

Victory at Last! ...

Well for some unknown reason why things happen as they do, we finally reached water by fixing the broken well at the neighboring school. Here's the dialog: "J" fixed the well and the children cheered for him and brought "J" to tears. It really made what seemed a failure into a victory! It is taking... Sign in to see full entry.

On Sunday evening the woman's husband told us that there were 3 wells...

I was confused because of the timeframe, I didn't think they had had enough time to get three done so on Monday morning, I texted to get clarification and ask if they had completed the well from the one on Sat. His text was, "We have run into a lot of problems and do not even have one done. "J" is... Sign in to see full entry.

Where have these yellow butterlies come from?...

The second person that I had witnessed to about their life after death was my older sister who died of pancreatic cancer in 2008. She got sick and suddenly began to go down hill so quickly and when we found out what was happening, I looked up the disease on the web and realized she wasn't going to... Sign in to see full entry.

A very rewarding and emotional moment in time...

Here is another conversation from Africa received this morning from my pastor.............."1 ft into the water sand... "J" said hardest 32 ft he ever drilled". I asked..."Is it going to make another good well & will u have to go deeper?" "J" said when done it will be a good well. It got to him... Sign in to see full entry.
