I am on my way home...Mom thinks she has a kidney stone, so nurse duties must be undertaken. Just monitoring her pain.
This started last night. Of course, there will be no going to the doctor. And I don’t blame her. She wants to be with my Dad.

It's been going smoothly up until now. I have to pick up the Bride's older brother Friday and find my way to the barber shop - then we're there. Mrs. MacNessa is meeting the Bride Friday for hair and nails. Everything else is done.

Good evening, Kathy,...((HUGS))...snow reached our house, but didn’t hang around Charlie played in the snow as it was coming down and landing in his yard. Hr would BARK at it and it would disappear into the grass.

OUCH!!! Poor Mom! I haven’t had kidney stones but Hubby did a while back and it was obviously VERY painful. She may change her mind on not going to the doctor for that reason.
Have a safe drive home!

Hidden Treasure
February 4, 2016
Search for [insight and understanding] as for hidden treasure. Proverbs 2:4
My husband and I read in different ways. Since English is a second language for Tom, he has a tendency to read slowly, word-for-word. I often speed-read by skimming. But Tom retains more than I do. He can easily quote something he read a week ago, while my retention can evaporate seconds after I turn away from the screen or book.
Skimming is also a problem when I'm reading the Bible--and not just the genealogies. I'm tempted to skim familiar passages, stories I've heard since I was a child, or a psalm that is part of a familiar chorus.
Proverbs 2 encourages us to make the effort to know God better by carefully seeking a heart of understanding. When we read the Bible carefully and invest time memorizing Scripture, we absorb its truths more deeply (vv. 1-2). Sometimes reading the Word aloud helps us to hear and understand the wisdom of God more fully. And when we pray the words of Scripture back to God and ask Him for "insight and understanding" (v. 3), we enjoy a conversation with the Author.
We come to know God and His wisdom when we search for it with our whole heart. We find understanding when we seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure.
Dear Lord, help me to slow down and listen to what You want to teach me through Your Word so I can be the person You want me to be.
For further study, check out this guide for how to grasp the truths of Scripture: at A Message for All Time
Read the Bible carefully and study it prayerfully.
The book of Proverbs shows us how to live wisely. King Solomon, who was the wisest person in his day (1 Kings 4:29-34), wrote most of the proverbs. The New Living Translation Study Bible likens this book to "a compass that helps us navigate the murky waters of life. . . . Proverbs shows us that the source of all wisdom is a right relationship with God." In the first nine chapters, a father advises his son how to live successfully by pursuing wisdom, understanding, and discernment--which can come only from God and His Word. Solomon desires his son to understand what it means to fear the Lord, for "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (9:10).

I do my nails regularly - with a belt-sander. They're too thick and hard to cut with an edged weapon.

Please excuse me, Army Bro - I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot to greet you properly.
Good evening, Army Bro!

I've been on a netflix movies kick here lately.
My movie tastes go from the crime dramas to comedies and everything in between. I'm watching a German language movie tonight, (with captions) about poor souls in a concentration camp during WWII.
Brutality abounded but a happy ending when the allies liberated it.
