INSIDE

Walked over to the vegetable store but other than that I was inside all day.

Good news Joyce is now back at the Home.  I will find out more next week but I think she may have had a fall.

Dad cleaned up a lot of the tree branches but there is still lots to be done.  We both had long naps today although dad's was even longer than mine.  It would have been nice to have a visit or go somewhere but a day of rest is also good.  The sunshine was very weak but any sun is welcomed.

Shocking what D. Trump is doing and sends a chill up my spine. 

The traditional understanding of Christianity is dying but the good news is reading the history of the time in which books like John were written helps one understand the gospel even better.  This gospel reflects the rising hostility between the disciples of Jesus and traditional synagogue believers at that time.

John Spong writes "I find this gospel to be a book not about religion, sin and salvation but about life. and expanded consciousness."  The world has no use for creeds and orthodox rigid belief.

I want to have a heart that is changing on the inside with God's help.

I too got outside and started to clean up the yard. That is why I did not come over, after that I made supper as we have not had a real meal all week.

It was so nice to be outside again and in the yard, seems like forever. All the leaves were still there from the fall.

We are taking down the ceiling today. Fun times.

Good Sunday morning Beth. I see another colourful photo of the vegetable market...you always choose interesting subjects. You are fortunate to have the stores nearby and can just walk over.

We do have a couple of stores in our area, but they charge outrageous prices...like 3 X as much,so we don't buy much out here. If the highways are bad we are forced to buy the necessities.
The stores capitalize on the summer people, when there are thousands of cottagers and visitors here and they keep the prices the same all year.

It is good to hear your friend at the nursing home is OK. It would be a big scare for her if she fell.

My poor friend is having to pack up her home, where she has lived for 30 years with her husband and move to Winnipeg. Very hard for her to leave all that she loves, but her husband had a stroke and they need to move to an apartment. She has three friends who are helping her. I was hoping to get over to at least take some lunch for them, but Carl isn't feeling well. I don't like to leave.

I have always like the book of John and it's prophecy of the Good Word. It is sad to see the decline in the churches....and the Christian faith.

Yes, it really is scary to read of what Trump is doing to the USA. It reminds me of what Hitler did to the people of Germany many years ago. I am so thankful to live in a great country like Canada who welcomes people of all countries and faiths. Very proud of our prime minister too for standing up for immigration. Our country was built on immigration.

Have a blessed Sunday,

Love, Nancy

It was good to have some things done outside as it has rained most of the day.
Sad to hear of the difficult changes people have to make both your friend and Randy's dad who does not want to leave his place. We do not know how we will deal with the future
but are turn is coming.
Good to be feeling so much better,
love mom
