Sometimes my head spins at the rate at which time passes. I know that such comments are trite and put me in the category of old fart. I'm just posting this to highlight some of the goings on of the last few months since we have been back in the USA.
We returned home after our eighty-two day cruise to resume our 'normal' life just before Christmas. I honestly don't remember Christmas 2019. My neighbor had collected my mail for me while we were gone. What an awesome collection.
In January I attended the Founders conference at church. It was about "Social Justice". And lasted the better part of the first week. About the same time, Anh and a group of friends took a trek to Costa Rica for a little dental work.
Up North (most of America from where we are) they have been having a rough winter. I posted a couple videos on Fbook to express my solidarity. I'm not sure if they work well in blogger, but just in case...
The last week in February we had a missions conference at church. The main teacher was Chad Vargas. I was a lot of information to absorb in a week.
We had two new calves born Feb 23rd and March 4th. The first is a bull and the second a heifer. I think we may have a couple more in maybe May or June. I think we will need to thin the herd as we only have ten acres for them to graze on and hay is expensive. Stay tuned.
We went to the
Ligonier Conference in Orlando Mar (14-16). It was a sell out crowd (5,000 people). The teaching was excellent. The music was moving and the organ was awesome. We stayed with our friends Vern and Janet and Tim and Theresa. Got to meet Jordan and Felicia and their two kidlettes (Paisley and Issac). The theme of the conference was Holiness.
I never get tired of time with friends. In fact, I wish we had time and opportunity to spend with all our friends. Just doesn't seem to work out that way.
As I recall these and the many unmentioned goings on, I'm mindful of the great gift of time. I don't know how we could have done all this and kept a job at the same time.
I came across this quote on my old
Vietnam blog. I still like the sentiment of it so thought I'd share.
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
the last of life, for which the first was made.
Our times are in his hand who saith,
'A whole I planned, youth shows but half;
Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!'
My beloved is talking about a trip to Europe. That girl loves to travel.
