On the Road...Again

Have you ever wondered what is around the next bend?

I've enjoyed following Brian of AdventureVanMan as he travels about, living on the road. 

I think you will too.  

(And yes, he even answers emails.)

Enjoy...You can begin with a Michigan trip, and travel on from there.

Until tomorrow, Lord willing.  Hope to see you then.

Farewell to Facebook...forever

Yep, it's time.

I'm going back to old-school.

Sure, I'll miss my Facebook birthdays.  

And I'll miss all of my *friends* that I have met over the years.  

{I hope you follow me here...}

But, bottom line, we serve an awesome God.  

And if God wants a person in my life, it will happen, 

without the assistance of Social Media.  

This I know.

After writing about it over the years...

Here...and here...and well, you get my drift.

It's time.

To every thing there is a season...  See Ecclesiastes 3...HERE.

So my world just got a little smaller.  But the quiet beauty remains.

But it's all good.  

So here I'll be, Lord willing.

Abiding...

And there's no looking back.

Like the song we sung yesterday (me with teary blurry eyes due to emotion) 

during worship at my small country Mennonite church ~

Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back.

My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack.

His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim.

He knows the way He taketh, and I will walk with Him.
Taken from the Church Hymnal, Hymn 384 "In Heavenly Love Abiding" 2nd verse.

Until tomorrow, Lord willing...hope to see you then.

City Chick...a-Dee

I never realized I would have a hard sell in the city.  

Last winter, nestled deep in the woods, my birds appreciated me.  

Upon walking in, they would greet me with songs and calls.  

Then, without an invitation, they would land on my head.

I would tell them to wait...but I always had a smile while doing so.

They were my buddies...one of my simple daily joys.

And now, as winter is approaching, it has been decided I will stay in the city, assisting family.

In the city on the bay.

But there's a slight problem.

Although the deer in the city are tame(ish).

The Chickadee's...not so much.

So starts the hard sell.  

I've been trying to win them over for the last couple months.  

I hope they become like my other feathered friends, who live deep in the woods.  

I would venture out of the cabin in the morning and upon my head they would perch.  

One time I drove 1/2 mile away and got out of the truck, and upon my head they landed.  

Sometimes they would sit on the wiper blade, waiting for me to exit the truck, peeking in.

But the city ones?  So far, I've only had one land on my hand.

Now if only I could get the turkey's to show up also.  

Life in the city would get a little better. 

Until tomorrow, Lord willing...

P.S.  I hope my feathered friends in the woods, 40 miles south, will not think I abandoned them this winter.  Who knows, perhaps they will find me if they fly north.  I can only dream.
