Listening to...

This week has had an added perk of hearing some great preaching.

Dr. David Jeremiah was in town last night, and Ed got to go with his grandparents to a well-filled Target Center to hear him speak. The report was good. I wish I could have gone, but alas, the Northern Lights Chorale concert is just 3 weeks hence! We had rehearsal.

But I have been blessed to hear a series of messages on CD by Dr. David Larson, professor emeritus of Trinity Seminary.  He gave these talks up at Camp Shamineau to a group of seniors last September.

If I could, I'd put them on here for people to access, but I'm not sure it's legal. I haven't got permission. Can I say that you should beg, borrow, or.......... to get them!

Everyone who hears them wants copies.

I'm thankful for his strong, clear message, given with his classic wit.

I'll try to do something about sharing them. For now, I'm just glad I can be ENCOURAGED and EXHORTED by such a great speaker.

Fool

Poor Misty

Misty hurt her back leg last evening. Romping with Blackberry on her usual "Daddy's Home From Work Backyard Run" she limped back to the house.

Was it ice? Was it a flukey thing?

She is not crying out in pain, but we are waiting for the vet to call us back. She'll have to see him today. I think it might be a sprain.

Poor little girl. :(

I'll update later...

 UPDATE:  Misty has twisted her knee. It appears she has a stretched ligament, and we'll have to keep her quiet for two weeks, in hopes that she can avoid surgery!  She'll be on an anti-inflammatory med for now. Poor darling. 

This is Rather Personal:

Yes, my young sons are getting married. For all the right reasons.

Have You Seen These?

There is a person on YouTube who makes the most interesting collages of news stories for each month.  Very worth watching, if you like a little suspense.  This the one is for March, 2013. February was spectacular.

A Little Word

Some of you follow me on Pinterest. I got into something accidentally through Pinterest, and decided to deactivate my account.

I guess there are cautions to popularity!

Thankful for all the interesting new people in my life due to that avenue, and sorry to see it falter, but my priorities are to represent Christ, and things that would please Him.

I find the "Commands of Christ" series, by Bill Gothard, to be really stellar in defining some of Christ's injunctions for humanity. I have gone through it twice with my kids, as a Bible lesson, and plan soon to start it again. You can't be too aware of what Christ wishes. The lessons are simple and the photography is stunning. The design is pure genius. All the kids have memorized the commands AND the character quality that links to it. It's excellent.

Such wonderful events happening to our family!

Weddings, graduations, concerts, accomplishments. I'd be bragging if I told you all ;).

God is so good. He is to be praised in all the good, and thanked in all the bad. I'm happy to have entered a time of blessing....always subject to change!

That much I have come to know!

Sometimes we dread the hard times, forgetting the blessing that culminates the trial. No one welcomes difficulty. But it's a given, and we must face it. Christians face it with the inner power of the Holy Spirit, and the touch of God's hand in your life is more priceless than any trial.

No matter what curse may be pronounced upon us we know we have the infinite upper hand. We are victorious in Christ.



We will see Him face to face, and how wonderful to look Him in the eye finally, thankful hearts overwhelmed with His presence! Blessed people, who now behold Him, never more to part from Him.

God is good.
