It poured while we were taking Jeff's mom to the doctor. Made it really difficult getting her in and out of the car with her wheelchair. After we got her back home, the rain stopped - of course.

Glad to had an uneventful trip to and from town. Another storm is coming!

The Lord was with Joseph. —Genesis 39:2

At the age of 16, pianist Leon Fleisher made his formal debut at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic. He went on to win prestigious international competitions and played in the world’s finest concert halls. But at the age of 37, Fleisher was struck with dystonia, a neurological condition that crippled his right hand. After a period of despondency and withdrawal, he turned to teaching and conducting, because, as he said, he loved music more than he loved the piano.

When our dreams are shattered, how do we react? After Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, was sold as a slave by his brothers (Gen. 37:12-36), he could have given in to self-pity and self-indulgence. Instead, Joseph remained true to the Lord. Four times in Genesis 39, we read that “the Lord was with” Joseph (vv.2-3,21,23), and his actions revealed his own faithfulness to God. By his exemplary life, those he served in Egypt recognized God’s presence with him.

Do we love God more than our own dreams? Although Joseph must have grieved the loss of his past and what his life could have been, the Lord led him to a calling he had never imagined. Today, the Lord longs to lead us. Are we willing to be redirected by Him?

My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away;
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead,
For He doth know the way. —Overton

A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. —Proverbs 16:9

“but you forgot the Chipped Beef on Toast.”

Either you were never in the Navy and subjected to something under that title that would make terrorist at Gitmo chew their Korans rather then eat, or know that Chipped Beef on Toast is anathema to those who love to cook like I do.

However, if you like it, I think I can find a can of it in the back pantry where I keep the food I serve in-laws when they stay too long.

great pix.. it just became my profile pix at Facebook.

incredibly busy day.. Vet /shots for pups in amish country - about hour & half south, doggie hike in Canal Fulton, visit friend in Nursing home in Millersburg, visit dying friend in Akron Hospice, get 100 rounds of Ammo for my CCW class this weekend.. dinner with friend in the Falls.

weather acceptable (note I did not say good). we still have a great deal of snow /ice on ground. HATE winter! enjoy looking at & photography of snow/ice but living in it is another thing
