Judith, it's good to hear from you and I am sorry the last few days have been so hard. Please rest. We'll keep praying. Gentle Hugs.

Barb, yes, my cousin is a sweetheart. It took about 2 weeks for the clock to get here. It had to ho through customs who opened it. Fortunately nothing was missing and they repacked it OK. I hope your eye tests go well. Yes, cooler weather is coming but not for another month or so. Lol about sending me some snow! I don't think it would survive two weeks in a Thermos!

Linda, glad you got to Denver safely. Enjoy your stay.

I am getting ready for church now.

Susan. Prayers you got well fed with your services today. Do you have SS, Sunday school or core classes before the morning service? Do you have evening services? Some churches have the evening services but since Covid a lot of churches only have one service. Sad I think.

Linda.
Your celebration sounds neat. So glad you could do it & see all your lady friends.

Well we are dropping temps now. 18* is the high tomorrow & thats the warmest temp of the week. I think Friday on the temps are better.
Minus temps for the low & single temps for the highs. 2 chances of snow too. Our current snow is melting I can see some grass. Guess that is short lived. Oh well. I know God is in control & spring is coming.

Judith. Prayers for you & healing too. Plus wisdom knowing how to treat you and what you have.
Thank you for all you do too.

Sleep well u on western hemisphere. Enjoy the Lords day Susan.
All stay safe.

Today is such a beautiful day. The sky is blue with a haze of clouds, the roads are all clear of snow and the snow on the grass is beginning to melt. Our vice president of the college who will replace Glenn as president in 1-2 years spoke to the church today. He was talking about how we can "know" things about God but now really "know" him in a relationship way. Are we aware of what plans he has for us to do and how much he loves us? One thing that stood out to me was when Jesus said we should be "perfect" as he was perfect, he was not asking us to never make a mistake. That is impossible for us as humans to do. The word for perfect in the Greek is "mature" which is something to reach toward. We are all growing at out own pace but we are still sinful. As we mature, we can become more like God in thoughts, actions, and motives. In heaven we will attain the maturity we need. This helps me as a perfectionist to know that it is OK to not be perfect in this world although we need to strive to be our best, we grow and mature as we get closer to God and see what his character is and imitate this.

I hope you are having a good weekend to rest and refresh for the new week - which Susan is just ending. Praying for all of you and your needs. Love to all!

It’s late & I’m sorry but this won’t be long. I’m trying to figure outline row I the knitting jacket I’m making for a grand daughter. It’s the 2nd one I will have made. I have done this one row 4 times or more.
I can’t figure it out so I will sleep on it. I hope that helps me.
Hope all had a good day.
We will have some snow tomorrow light we have the funeral and then got to the Retinal specialist who will dilate my eyes.
Tuesday we get dropping temps into, very Arctic temps. So we will have minus numbers for lows & single numbers as high. Plus snow all day Tuesday. So probably no Bible study.
Wednesday & Thursday I hope to, watching 🦋. But very cold. The temps will be dangerous. We have no garage so I hope with a full tank & HEET my car starts and roads plowed with the snow. By Saturday we hot 28*. That will feel good. Finally by next Sunday over freezing.

Susan. Your luncheon sounds neat. I don’t know much about Kansas being from Pennsylvania.

Linda. That’s neat that Glenn spoke today sounds like he was very good. Thank you for sharing.

Judith praying for you. It’s getting late for me and I got a full morning with funeral and eye doctor.

So good night fro Kansas.

Judith. Sorry for the issues. Sometimes I have had them too. Plus I believe Linda has mentioned the, & maybe Susan. Fun with MFP.
Prayers for you.
I hear you may get rain stay safe up there.

Well we woke up, to some light snow & it’s to snow all day Tuesday & our high is a warm 6*F, 🥶 -14.4*C. Very cold. Not sure how I’ll get our stone driveway clear of snow. Oh well.
I believe I figured out the knitting on the jacket. Some of it as I’m knitting the left side which when I hold it it’s on the right side so kind of confuses one brain or thinking. I’ll try it later tonight. So sleep on it always helps.

Stay safe warm here
Susan prayers for you with the humidity. Wish we had some. My nose is getting crusties all the time & nasal spray is not helping it. At least it’s short lived. So I’m adding menthol that seems to help. Off to, a funeral soon & eye specialist.

We are getting colder weather now with the low expected tonight of 5F.We have had snow showers but no accumulation. The humidity is 95% so we are higher than Susan today. The humidity makes things feel much colder so we have not been outside much today. It has been quiet here with the holiday. We forgot and tried to go to the post office to get stamps but realized that they were closed for President's day. Our granddaughter slept in until almost noon and is still in her pajamas watching TV. She will have to get used to getting up early tomorrow when she has to go to school. She has had Thursday and Friday off also for teacher conferences.


Susan - I am glad that you were able to get Colin's insulin pump to finally work after being up a long time. I am praying for his cardiology appointment today. It is good to be prepared to have him stay at the hospital but I hope he can come home. I agree that phones can be a big problem when they do not accept passwords or work with Bluetooth things. Since we got new phones mine has been OK but Glenn's is getting duplicate texts from people and the Wi-fi was not working. He took it to the phone store and they said that there was a problem with the phone manufacturer and were able to fix it. I am glad that there are specialists that know how to fix things or give us important insight into our health and equipment.

Barb - I am glad that you figured out the knitting problem. Perspective is important when doing right and lift sides. I am glad that you did not have a lot of snow. I hope that your vehicle runs with the cold weather and no garage to put it in. Our friend had a heater he put in the engine that he plugged inside the house to warm his car since it was also outside in the cold. I am not sure how it worked but it did help warm the engine. Take care of yourself especially when you are going outside to go watch Mariposa. Yes I get frustrated with MFP loosing my information. Yesterday and today it just quits and the whole site disappears. Maybe it is the weather bothering some electrical "stuff". As you can see I do not know what I am talking about. LOL

Judith - I hope you are getting over being sore and tired. Getting good rest is so important. Does the soreness bother your sleep? Thanks for getting Susan and I back on track on the threads. I try to work around when I think someone will be on here but obviously I did not time my response correctly. It is hard when we are on different time zones.

I need to go take care of my crockpot Pepper Steak that is cooking. I need to do last minute seasoning and thickening before everyone is ready to eat. It smells really good as I am typing here.

Good morning everyone. It's Wednesday here and a bit overcast. It feels a little less hot but time will tell.

Yes, Colin is enjoying his new phone and his insulin pump is working well now. I'll update about the Cardiologist in the prayer thread.

Barb, I hope your cough goes away soon. Funerals are great places to preach the gospel for sure. Sorry you had a funeral to go to though.

Judith, I hope you are hetting more comfortable after your procedure. It's early days though.

Linda, the pepper steak sounded so yummy. I hope you enjoyed it. Yes, Colin is still moving in to his new phone but he seems to like it. Thankful for helpers too!

I'm cutting card kits for tomorrow's class. It's all butterfly cards this time.

When I got up this morning, snow was sitting on the branches of the trees around our house and was so gorgeous. They looked like the silver Christmas trees that sparkle with the light. It fell off during the day as it warmed up to 17F. The temp right now is 2F. I did not walk to the doctor's office since it was so cold. My lab work was mostly normal except for my liver numbers. He is not sure what is wrong but I started taking a new supplement that supports steady blood sugars but he thinks that it may not to be good for my liver. I am to stop taking it for two weeks then have blood drawn again. If that does not help, he wants me to stop my cholesterol medication for two weeks and have lab work done again. If that does not help, he will order an ultrasound to see if there are issues with my liver like fatty liver. It will be a waiting game to see what works.

Barb - I pray that you will be able to keep warm in spite of the cold frigid weather and that your car will start when needed. I hope you have a good heater in it also. I am glad that your pastor, Seth, was able to present the gospel during the funeral. People are sometimes vulnerable during this time and Jesus can touch their hearts when they realize that life is fragile and their time could come soon. Good news that your eyes are stable. Our sight is so important to keep healthy. The pepper steak was good but I missed the onions that I usually put in it. My daughter can not have onions or garlic so when I cook here in Denver, the food is lacking in taste in my opinion. Sometimes I cook onions by themselves and add it to just our plates to get that good onion taste.

Susan - the cards are beautiful as usual. Thanks for the update from the cardiologist. I pray that the angiogram will be scheduled as soon as possible. Maybe there will be a cancellation and he can get in sooner. I loved your picture on Facebook with your lovely jewelry. Is there a website to order the jewelry? It looks so versatile in that you can change the looks easily.

Judith - I am glad that your weather is getting warmer and you are only getting rain. We are getting snow showers during the day but I think it is supposed to be clear tomorrow.

Good morning here and afternoon evening for Susan.

I might not have a cold but I'll continue taking the expectorant meds today & the inhaler. I did cough some as soon as i woke up but not bad. Might just be the dryness? I don't have any other symptoms of a cold and that is unusual when I have a cold.
So we broke a record of the high yesterday of 4* F, the old one set back in 1939 I think, was 11*F. We will break the low of today and high plus on Thursday. Friday morning will be in the minus but we get into the 20's as a high. I'm sure that will feel good.
Roads here are awful! The salt won't work in these temps and lots of roads not really plowed so all snow packed.
I have HEET, a antifreeze for my gas. in my gas line in my car. I'll run my car again but plan on not going any were. I hope Hong Hong can do ok with her 2 girls. I hear that Annabella is smiling more and maybe sleeping more. So that should help.

Linda I will be praqying for your liver. Can you help it with more fish, beans, coffeee, or green tea? Eating more of the Mediterranean diet maybe? Prayers.

Susan Praying that Colin gets that test sceduled asap or sooner than they told you. We believe in a God who can do that easily too. Praying.

Judith prayign for you and the rest of the team.
Have a safe and wonderful HUMP day all!! Or Friday eve for you Susan.
