WHERE HAVE ALL THE FISH GONE?

We think they have gone to the bottom of the pond to hibrinate for the winter.
Could the raccons have eaten them?

We may have to wait for spring-time to discover the true answer. Waiting is always a hard thing to do most of us want answers immediately.

Life seems to be full of questions; for examle "Why" or for a Christian why was our prayer not answered. When we ask questions we have to face the tough answers.

"Jewish Wisdom encourages us to be skeptics, sacred skeptics. Skepticism inspires us to want to know more. When you find one answer it is time to find a better question. The truth can set us free but only if we are in the process of discovering it."

"Life will be an ongoing act of creating, revealing and discovering. Each person, each culture, each religion has part of the truth; none has it all. Profound truth can lie within paradox."

But for me I find that in the words of Jesus there is life and truth; some of which is hidden; and some of his words are now being questioned.

I agree with John Dominic Crossan who said the ancient stories in history are told Symbolically and we are dumb enough to take them Literally.

Sound fishy to you?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

OLIVER IS ABOUT TO HELP SET THE TABLE (I THINK)

TWO CONTENTED PEOPLE

A day to celebrate God's love for us; [ the minister said this ]
and our love for our family.

I have been for a good walk in the rain and I look very healthy. [everyone says this]

We had a wonderful turkey dinner cooked by Mary and Michael John and Steve. It was good to see Tasha and Justice; and Oliver and Lila; but we did miss Chris and Linda

I tried to take pictures but they did not turn out so well. After supper we; Tasha, Sandra, Randy, Michael John and Carol and dad and I went over to the park but it was getting too dusky for pictures. Justice, Ben and Morgan had a great time seeing the ducks and swinging on swings etc. Even Randy was flying high on the swing.

What did you have for dinner?

Rick did you find your mitts?

I am forgetting where I put things now but I have always had memory problems.
Many, many years ago when the minister came to call he asked when Rick was born and I said 56 and then he said when were you married I said 57. He looked at me a little strange.

TODAY

Today the "clan" is heading to the heights of Coquitlam to feast upon turkey and stuffing with all the timings. Lots of good deserts too! They will be coming from Victoria, from Chilliwack and from Tsswassen, Surrey and Delta. The Albertans are probably feasting on beef and the Aussie's will be around the pool "throwing another on the Barbie" (hope it isnt one of their cute little lambs) now that their weather is warmer. Cameron loves his turkey and I think they are all hoping Sandra will fly down at Christmas to cook one for them all!
Maybe in the summer we will all get together.

Today I am not going to go for a walk just to see if I feel any less pain. I will do my exercises I have a 200 page book just for back pain exercises] and then off to church at the Bell Center.

I feel so good when I get out walking, alive and happy. I feel like a young 65 year old.
The worst part of the day is from 6 to 9 in the evenning.

Dad is going to add skating to his bike riding.

Today it is a lot warmer so that means it could rain but we have had a lot of sunny fall days.

Today is a day of thanksgiving and I feel that our family has been given an abundance of things to be thankful for; especially for each other!


"Today is the first day of the rest of your life!" One of larry's favorite sayings.

Strange ducks

Actually I wondered if the white duck felt different than all the brown little ducks. This is to answer the comment made.

I think, if the truth where known, he probably thought we were the strange ducks taking such notice of him.

I am having fun taking pictures of my little world. It is a good reason to go for a walk!

I have been advised to take a shorter route, to see if this helps the pain in my back and neck. I am not happy with this advise but we cannot always be happy in life. Also my dad taught me there are no shortcuts to success.

Dad the teen-ager is still sleeping; but mom the mover has to get moving!
Yes, maybe we are the strange ducks.

DOES THE WHITE DUCK KNOW HE IS DIFFERENT?

THE RESCUE

Everyday and I mean everyday I go out for a walk Larry asks do you have your cell phone? Yes, I say. And He says "Okay bye Honey."

Yesterday was no different as I started to walk over to Colebrook Church with my Bible study books. It was such a beautiful day with the sunshine and just a little breeze [a gift from heaven].
Walking gives me time to pray and enjoy nature and friendly people I meet.

After our study, with all my dear old friends from Colebrook together for 15 years or more] I start home. I walk through the park and behind the church. The discomfort that I had felt at the study now becomes a pain. So, I called for my pills to be delivered to me by my hubby and would he come and pick me up. Fortunately he heard and came right away.

Now, we are off to the doctor today, and I want to be cheerful and positive but I wonder what Larry will say.

PERSISTANCE

The good book says be persistent in prayer "You have not because you do not ask"

So I finally got an appointment with my family doctor on Thrusday because there was a cancellation.
