Hi Beverly!

Hi Pat!  

[Pat]

It's great to see you, Beverly.  How are you doing?  Where are you?  Are you still in Florida?

Hi everyone!  We had a great night tonight.  It was a potluck for our college and careers group.  I made so much food!  I made smothered meatballs, deviled eggs, and a fruit salad inside a hollowed out watermelon.  Well, we had a blast, and then a Bible study.  We were reading in 1 Peter, chapter two.  The debate tonight was about who the authority was that we are commanded to obey, be it government, enforcing officials, judges, etc.  People came out with some really neat concepts and comparisons.  But the predominant feeling was that we should respect each and every person, no matter whether they're in authority or not.  I think it was a good evening overall.  I hope we can do it again sometime.  I wish I could host it here, I love experimenting with cooking.  But our house is wayyy too small.

My friend and I are driving up to Timmins next weekend for her college graduation.  I'm so proud of her!  She's the same age as I.  She moved back to Guelph, which is really nice.  It's nice having her around again.  We kept in touch constantly while she was gone, in letters and email, but it's nice to be able to call her up and go do something with her.  Well, I'm still a little wound up from the evening, but I should get some sleep if I want to concentrate in the service tomorrow.  God be with you all.  Jen.

Hi Jen...

It's so nice that you dropped in to tell us about the College and Careers evening.  It sure sounds as if you had a great time.  Your food sounds as if it was so delicious.  Any left over?    You'll have to come over for a visit with your friend.  I'd really like that.

Yes, I must get the NEM posted for tomorrow and go and read a little and get my mind prepared for tomorrow morning.

Talk to you soon, Jen!

Just a note to say hello and to thank you for this site and the daily devotionals.

My 90 year old father-in-law was taken to the hospital a few days ago with pneumonia. Last night we called him at the hospital. He was happy to hear from us but tired so we didn't talk long. I told him we loved him. At 2 a.m. Martha (his wife) called to tell us he had passed away from a massive heart attack.  He was a  Christian so it's a comfort to know he is with our Lord. We'll be flying to Vermont this week.

Feeling kind of subdued toight. We didn't get much sleep last night so I'm on my way to bed.

Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day week-end.

I'm so very sorry, Beverly.  It's so difficult to say "Farewell".  That's how my father went--so quickly.  And I miss him still.

We'll be praying for you both as you journey north.

Keep in touch, dear friend.
