Here at Last. . .

Hello all!  I'm finally back for a short note.  Hardy is wanting lunch, so I need to get to moving. {:-)

I didn't read any of the previous posts, I'll come back later and read them.  Just quickly skimmed over the last 2 or 3 about the Newtown shootings.  So very, very, sad.  Even up here that's all we've heard on the news.  I just sat and cried.  I can't even begin to imagine how those parents must be feeling right now.  Six and seven year old children are NOT prepared to die.  We are praying daily -- hourly, even -- for those poor families.

As to the reporting, I worked at a TV station for 14 years, so I've seen some of the stuff that ends up on the cutting room floor.  And that's not even counting what actually makes it to air.  Some reporters need a 2 x 4 to the back of the head.  Nuf said.

Our new pastor and I are trying to revive the 55+ group at our church.  First it was called Pairs & Spares because we were mostly young married couples.  Then the older ones broke off and went their own way and called themselves Golden Agers.  Some didn't like that (they said the old years aren't golden) so they called themselves Young at Heart.  Now that group has dwindled down to about 5 or 6 of us, but there's about 78 people in our church who are between the ages of 55 and 75, so we're trying to get them motivated into a new group by starting with a Pot Luck Supper in January.  An organizational meeting sort of.  I guess we'll see who all comes. 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and a Blessed and Healthy New Year!
