I'm just trying to help.

Good evening.
This morning the beauty of the countryside as I drove to church was heart-stopping. It is a landscape that has become very dear to me thru the seasons: in the river's valley it's easy to fall quietly into another time, another age. And then I remembered nature's terrible destructiveness yesterday on other landscapes, places that others hold dear. How to explain it all?? I can't..not easily.
Then at church, there was much joy: the confirmands were accepted into the church's membership with celebration and love. All these young people had found focus and purpose on the past year's journey.
But our church family also absorbed some terrible news: a dear couple has learned that the husband has a deadly cancer.
And there again the juxtaposition of joy and deep sorrow. That was the theme of the day, and perhaps many days in our lives and that of our country.
Thinking about it off and on throughout the day, one thing does seem clear. And that is that with God's help, it is possible to face it all...a rich, precious existence, not always understood, but appreciated nonetheless.
I'm just trying to help.
Rome, NY?
no—where the buffalos go
Good afternoon.
ALRIGHT!!! You see the Dutch troopers arresting the bad guyw on that ship off Somolia?? WAY TO GO DUTCH!!!!
Toby
no—where???
What’s next, but then again, I expected this of him. The next thing will be when approaching him one must bow and walk towrds him and back out the same way.
Toby
It was on Fox, beats me where but in the area all this hijacking of the ships have been going on.
Been there a few times...;-))
I support your tag line, and someday you are going to have to meet my GD, a sincere young lady with goals in her life to promote Christ. She is also a singer and a good one, solo’s in school assemblys, in church, in he house and yes, every once in a while in my shack in the back.
Toby
Thank you, Sir. Keep praying. I got an email from one of our churches. The man was so very apologetic. Their giving is down and so they have had to cut our support $150 each month.
I wish I could help again but just can’t, truely want to as I have more respect for your and your family than I can tell ya’ll.
Toby
I know you can’t. Many people are in the same boat. But God is sovereign throughout. You can (and do) support us in prayer.
ARGH!!! THAT FACE!! Looks like my D when I do something bad..
Really? I thought it looked ruggedly majestic.
I’ve got a biz trip to Italy in June and was thinking of doing a little tourist action on the side
This oil spill just hit me, NO SHRIMP FOR US ON THE TABLE? SHRIMP is a staple down here, what a shame.
This thing down here is double big, we got troubles with this spill.
Toby
It does really, ya’ll come up with some good pictures for us.
