Saved Our Life

Twelve months ago, I shared our testimony with the ward congregation at church and published it for my wife’s extended family.  Kay & I know without a doubt that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer of the world.

Christmas Day 2019 [posted 12/27] I read Luke 2 in the New Testament — the shepherds “came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.”  Because of Him, we are blessed to be together forever ... with love.

Kay & I are grateful for The Prince of Peace, who saved our life.  Jesus Christ lives and will come again.

Report in a nutshell

Wonderful week in December ... so far.

Meeting with dear friends who do most of the talking, thus saving my poor voice.  Church at stake center, Sunday School in social room via Zoom on TV, and Music & the Spoken Word.

Train trip to Woods Cross to receive a wonderful basket of “comfort food” from my wife Kay’s siblings, reminding me of their eternal love for us.

Neighbor’s new furniture delivered by Amazon to the sidewalk, quickly moved by hired hands (after my little box-cutting prep) to her new apartment on Tuesday, my typical time off.

Leftovers for this slowest guy, who cleans up after linger longer on Monday.  Great Harvest bread at home, three pancakes at Denny’s yesterday, and canned food to the apartments’ charity box.

Serendipitous shopping for Christmas, reducing my last-minute rush on the 24th.  Slowing down to go in the mall for a delightful surprise, thanks to Hostlers Model Railroad Club.  I was lovin’ it yesterday!

If I reduced these five to one nutshell, I would make “a long story short”.  Nevertheless, I wish you patience, joy, and Light!

Typical Typos

Trying to recall what triggered this thought.  I just know it was a very typical typo (“a typographical error”).  Are typos even noticed these days, and does it matter?  Maybe depending on the mediyum.  Some may be intentional ... to tease habitual proofreeders.

Slowing Down

Fact: It’s happening in my “old age”.  Realizing more so this year, I enjoy slowing down enough to ponder, read, write, play great music, walk, notice nature, and connect with people.  For these I am grateful to God.

Blessing: It helps me remember and feel close to my sweetheart Kay, who influences me for good.  She represents Christlike love to me.

Need: It feels great to run up and down stairs here at the apartments, but I must be more careful and maybe slow down.  Fast bike rides by Ogden River and railroad are invigorating, but cold air calls for taking it easy and enjoying the scenery along the way.  Slowing down may be good for everyone this month, as you know.
