Work: "When it rains, it pours"

Today was really busy. I went to the Bible study in the morning. One thing that happened today, was at the gas station I asked the attendant to "top it off". He did, but said in July Oregon is making a law for it to be illegal to "top it off". I cannot believe all the new laws! He wasn't too thrilled either, and said that when the law is in effect he will get charged $1000 if he does "top off" the gas. At 3:00 I went to a ladies house to check out a job she wants me to do. I had already met her... Sign in to see full entry.

Learn Humbly

Women's Bible study was very good this a.m. The theme from the "One month to Live" study, was to learn humbly. Here are some of the notes I took during the Bible study and video we watched. They described a monarch butterfly and how beautiful they are. One of the reasons they are so beautiful is because their wings are transparent. They also have to struggle when they come out of their cocoon. This struggle strengthens their wings. When we are transparent, it can make us beautiful. Also, through... Sign in to see full entry.

After midnight

It is midnight. I just got off work at the cleaning job. It was Levi's birthday, but he still helped me. I don't like to go to the offices to clean by myself after 9:00. It would be safe, but it just is really strange to be in that big old building all alone. I was very busy all day. We ended up going to Wal.mart. Clemy got $20 for dog-sitting, so she had money to buy her big brother a birthday present. I really don't approve of the children eating a lot of candy, but that's what she ended up...

Enciende una luz - Youtube video

I first heard this song in Mexico. Most of the Song has English captions. It is really beautiful. Sign in to see full entry.

A birthday

Today is Levi's 17th birthday. It is so hard to believe! The girls and I are planning a special meal and we are going to make apple pie together. The banner Clemy made last week for Gideon is still up. She just needs to switch it to Levi's name. I was able to get up by 7:15 today. I was tempted to go back to bed, but didn't. I just can't seem to get to bed before 11:00 and then to sleep later than that. I'm on my way to "Cash n Carry" a restaurant supply store that also serves the public. They...

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
