Time is zooming along and I am not writing much in the way of posts on this site.  Oh, well, the site is supposed to serve me and not the other way around.  The site is not my master.

So far this year, we have been in Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Oregon, Washington, Indiana and Michigan.  Does not seem like a whole lot but some of these travels and the associated events have been pretty intense and most of these places we have been to more than once.

So far this year, we have moved from one country to another, processed all of the paperwork, furniture, and boxes associated with such a move (Joyce: correction, I still have “stuff” to process!), driven the truck for many miles, retired from a job, spent time caring for elderly parents, spent time caring for grandchildren, started a webpage, driven many, many miles around and around and back and forth.  I feel like I want to get off the train and stop still in one place for a while.  Maybe that will be next week!  . . . or the week after?  Joyce seems fearless and presses on through all of the happenings but we are both showing some “wrinkling” around the edges, so to speak.

I am writing this on a balcony in Indianapolis on my small netbook which is “fun” to type on.  But it is working and this technology is really amazing when I think back to a typewriter and using white-out or correction strips.  How did I survive through so much graduate study typing on Joyce’s portable Smith-Corona, using erasable paper?

Thank you for listening to my meandering musing.  May God bless you today and make this a good time in His grace. Remember that we do not find our reality in physical strength, in stock-market gyrations, in rumors of wars and actual wars, or in erratic weather.  Our strength comes from the Lord and His purposes and His everlasting arms    . . . .
