A good day, thanks very much! We've been in the high 40's - low 50's all day with light rain.

To tell the truth, I overdid it today - I'm exhausted! We went to Mass this morning, where I walked up and down the length of the Nave twice, and this afternoon we ventured forth to buy the Christmas Tree. A good looking 7 ft. Frazer Fir - a little on the wide side for a Frazer, but less obese than trees we have bought in the past.

Afterwards, I went to Home Depot to buy some carriage bolts and nuts to secure the tree to our stage - walked all over the store.

My youngest son, John Man, bolted the stand to our stage and installed the tree - not an easy thing to do. Kudos to him! I have dome it for many rears and it's a tedious process making sure the tree is not leaning while tightening the screws in the stand. We'll have to wait for tomorrow to put the lights and ornaments on - the tree is still wet and I like to let them drop for a day before rigging the lights.

Not very busy, just doing indoors chores since it's chilly and rainy again. But it did motivate me to mail out Xmas cards and make phone calls. Still have one more to make.

Which Way?
December 10, 2012

Asking directions is not my favorite thing to do. I always feel that if I stay at it long enough I’ll eventually find my way. My wife, Martie, on the other hand, is always quick to ask directions and incredulous about my unwillingness to admit that I don’t have a clue about where I’m going. In the end, she is the wiser one. She gets to her destination quickly and without angst while I end up getting lost.

Thinking that we are smart enough to navigate life on our own goes contrary to the warning of Scripture that tells us, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Prov. 16:25). When we are at a fork in the road, we need to stop and consult the ways of the Lord, “for the ways of the Lord are right” (Hos. 14:9).

Life is a directional enterprise. It’s vitally important to know how to successfully direct our lives toward blessed and peaceful relationships, meaningful acts of love and service, a fulfilling experience with God, and a host of other vitally important destinations.

Asking God for directions isn’t just a good idea—it’s critical. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart . . . and He shall direct your paths” (Prov. 3:5-6).

Lord, I surrender my stubborn tendency to do life on
my own terms. Teach me that my “want to’s” lead to
dead-end streets and that Your wisdom will keep me
on the road to all that is good and fruitful. Amen.

Ask God for directions because He knows the way.

Read: Hosea 14

The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them. —Hosea 14:9

Bible in a Year:
1 Timothy 4-6

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

Happy Chanukah!

Thanks for the story of the Berlin Airlift. It always amazes me how kind America is to her former enemies.

This is a link to a Youtube on the Berlin Airlift and the Candy Bomber - well worth a look in my opinion - it buffered a little in the middle on my computer.
