Very Nice Luv! great post

Happy New year to the Finest!

My outing was great and I do have some pix the quality of which of many is poor but will sort thru & post a few. I decided against the long black slinky dress & went with the short little back type ..

Actually I listened to my mom. I was dressed up & she said Dolly, in a few years you might NOT be able to wear short dresses (implication on ugly legs).. why don’t you put on a short dress.. so I did.. I did have quite a few compliments & at my age & stage that was nice.. It was a black short clingy Talbot’s dress(from my second hand store) and a raw silk jacket with some oriental prints..

I ended up wearing jewelry I had made about 15 years ago. Gold, Onyx, freshwater pearls & British Cloisonnes. I might try to take some pix for you . It is a pretty set (beaded necklace & earrings)

My batteries were shot too early in evening. I couldn’t believe when I saw the low battery light when I first turned on camera. I had a small bag so NOT extras with me so I was a bit stingy in what I took pix of. & I have ntoed with this camera the automatic functions are NOT sharp when batteries are low..

I was a BAD girl & took pix in Severance Hall (A BIG NO NO) but did not use flash & so was not detected.

Back & foot very sore but I did dance a bit

The Cleveland Pop’s concert was really REALLY outstanding. They had in a few “extra” entertainment things..

It is snowing here & we have mixed reports of how much accumulation we will get..

Resolutions

READ: Nehemiah 10:28-31

[They] entered into . . . an oath to walk in God’s Law, . . . and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord. —Nehemiah 10:29

In 1722, Jonathan Edwards drew up a list of 70 resolutions, dedicating himself to live in harmony with God and others. The following resolutions give a picture of the serious purpose with which Edwards approached his relationship with God. He resolved:

• To do whatever is most to God’s glory.

• To do my duty, for the good of mankind in general.

• Never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.

• To study the Scriptures steadily, constantly, and frequently.

• To ask myself at the end of every day, week, month, and year if I could possibly have done better.

• Until I die, not to act as if I were my own, but entirely and altogether God’s.

In Nehemiah 10, God’s people made an oath, vowing to follow all the commands, laws, and regulations of the Lord. This oath was so serious that they were willing to accept the curse of God if they failed to keep these commands.

Our resolutions need not be so serious as that. But any resolution to follow God is not a casual promise. Rather, it is a solemn and serious declaration that—with the help of the Holy Spirit—we can renew every day.

My Resolutions This Year Are:

It’s good that you listened to your mom this time, she was right. At this stage in life it is best to highlight our best features.
Am interested in seeing the jewelry along with the whole outfit. Glad you had such a nice night and the energy to see it through.
