WHERE IS THE GOOD NEWS?

NO NOT A PICTURE FROM THE 1920'S
JUST HOME FROM CHURCH - ENJOYING OUR FLEETING SUNSHINE

Where is the good news? Certainly not on our news today; where we hear stories of violence, poverty, disaster. For instance there was the story of the gram other who was refused entrance to Canada to see her badly burnt grand son. We abuse the people with no power while we let the criminals abuse us. I firmly believe that all criminals from other countries who form gangs and murder people should be sent back where they came from. A simple act of justice.

We are waiting for good news from Melina and Ken as they are house hunting; an exciting time in their lives. But also one that will bring changes and sacrifices.

Do we go to church expecting to hear good news? Does the Bible grab our attention and show us how to live among all the disasters? Does the Bible inspire us to change and be transformed into people who have the desire to help others.

There is something missing in our churches. A sense of the sacred and the mystery of holiness that Jesus taught with simple stories that contained deeper truth that we are too blind to see.

Christopher is going to church with us today which is good news and makes my heart glad.

We all planned to go to Kim's place yesterday, Sandra and Randy, Carol and Panteli but lunch was too early for them and dinner too late for us. We went to the library and to the White Spot.
We can share a turkey dinner for under 20$ and we know the Sat. Waitress, she is a joy!

I am still having shooting pains in my head every evening and wake up at about 4 with shooting pains in my ear, so I can expect this for awhile. But his is so much better and putting my bag of peas really helps and taking some pills.


My plan is to go for short walks, 30 or 40 minutes twice a day.
This is 2.27 milws, with 4819 steps at 1.98 miles per hour.

I am looking forward to strawberries for breakfast and church and lumch with Chris.

And after church mayb the sun will get you out into the garden? I think I have Randy convinced to cut the front grass, and I will finish raking leaves.

It got up to 15 at our house yesterday, what did it get up to at yours? We took the dogs out at low tide to Tsawwassen all the way to the ocean and now poor Peanut is hobling again on 3 legs.
