Quote of the Day
To us there are dark places in the truth. But who can say, in this brief vapor's breath of life, what light might break upon the soul that looks, unwavering, and long enough at some dark spot, with prayer and pondering and hope that it may turn into a portal for the sun?—John Piper, Taste and See, p. 179.

Penelope

Penelope Puppy. a reminder of how God is changing me through HIS effort just as I am changing Penelope by MY effort. She just starts with her puppy DNA and I can either ruin her or mold her for the good.
and God takes me and molds me for the good. For His good. so the onus is upon Him. I remain the eager puppy.

Mister is driving home from MS and I'm praying he drive safely. He's in the new car he bought me, but even though I managed to get him to purchase an automatic transmission (and in another color rather than the RED he was choosing AGAIN. not my fave. it's silver. hooray--black, white, and tan are good too)

tomorrow is mothers day and I'm thinking of my little baby N who is far away. we're going to go to her honey's celebration. we have our 25th anniversary coming up. I want a party but I want my house remodeled as well. we have so much work that we have to do on the house. i was so busy for a few years there. time to clean, repaint, renew and update.

dang, there are so many current fads. like outdoor living. of which i wholeheartedly approve. i always think i'm going to go out there. now with penelope, I do! and we eat dinners out there. we were eating dinners out there when k's fiance would come and when N was here. those were fun days. all the family around and my mom too.

what a blessing that was.

and now things are more quiet.

s has moved out.

mr is calling....
