The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Alyson is 20 months old and I canot even attempt to think about what it would feel like to lose her.

My eyes are watering just typing it.

"I know what you're thinkin', it's either I'll wake up at home to my regular life tomorrow morning OR - I'll wake up with Jesus. What's the problem there?"

I don't see any problem...specially since I got my shoes back...;-)

Here you go, Sam.

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks. Didn't mean to imply you meant otherwise. It was just interesting that the other thread popped up when we were discussing it.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... that is cute Sam.

I just went out and threw Benny Hen out of the nest box. I really think she believes she can HATCH those silly eggs! Or else she's just keeping herself warm for a bit.

Well, I went out there and picked her up and tossed her out, fetched her egg and Roy's in too.

Jar Jar, who was waiting patiently, is in the nest box now.

Chicken equivelant of those annoying people who will spend HOURS in the bathroom even when they've got a line of people waiting to shower or use the bathroom?

Poor Jar Jar...

Anyway, he came into our class and like forgot everything he came in to talk to us about. Very odd. I remembered thinking then that he looked tired. Then this happened just a few days later.

Sounds like a symptom, in hindsight. Sorry about your church-friend and his young child.

this man led an excellent life, gave so much to his community and to his Lord. Although I grieve for his family, I'm sure the service will be a celebration.

Grama and I talked a lot about things of the Lord. I knew that at her funeral she would want certain things said.... the gospel in particular. I knew she wanted family members to know that she had known where she would end up.

I didn't know until after I finally accepted Christ 15 years ago what kind of things she had been through in her prayer life praying for my mom and dad and us kids. She knew we weren't being taught about salvation in Christ but our family structure was such that she really couldn't *say* anything. She was VEY joyful when I accepted Christ even though she didn't know about it for a few days. Over the next 14 1/2 years before her death she shared her concerns about my mom and my brothers and other people in the family. She WANTED the truth to reach them.

The pastor my mom chose for the funeral was not who Grama wanted. But, when Mom said us kids could get up and speak I knew deep down within me that it was going to be up to me to speak the words that would reach out for Christ. Grama was Baptist but she completely supported me getting my ministry credentials and understood that I was in a church that ordained God-called women. She loved it too.

You know, I've preached to a lot of different types of people and I always carefully prepare. At Grama's funeral I had one phrase and 2 scriptures and that was all. I can't remember what I said at all - but over and over people have come up to me and told me how much my words meant to them. Even the Baptist preacher came up to me after the funeral and told me I had an annointing to preach the gospel. It was pretty weird - in a God way.

Yeah, in hindsight...

Frozen rain starting now...

I just went out and threw Benny Hen out of the nest box.

How rude! ;~D

I really think she believes she can HATCH those silly eggs!

Why else do you think she lays them? Poor chicken. Her life makes no sense.

[Wneighbor]

I don't see any problem...specially since I got my shoes back...;-)

Tammie said that and I just busted out laughing!

When I laughed so hard over that she definitely agreed that I was doing well enough not to need to go to the emergency room right then.

[Corin Stormhands]

Does a chicken read Reader's Digest in the woods?

[Argh]

Hah! Well, get it added, Miss Rosie, before it decides to come up with something worse!

[Wneighbor]

Oh! That is cool!!! WAY cool!!! I would have liked to have one of those at the old place. :-)

So, whadayathink the secret service guys driving around the neighborhood woulda thought? LOL

[2Jedismom]

-->goosebumps!

[Wneighbor]

It was cool!

I wish I could remember what I said. I haven't a clue.

Mom taped the whole thing but I don't wanna hear it yet.

[2Jedismom]

HEY! I don't go settin' up no baby bed every month!

ROFLOL!!

Crazy chicken.

[300winmag]

What an amazing bit of ingenuity!

[RosieCotton]

Well, get it added, Miss Rosie, before it decides to come up with something worse!

I did!

But honestly...harried may be descriptive, but horrid? How...horrid!
