Boo- wow, that is great that you have all that support for the rehab Christmas. My word of caution is "dont over-do it." Showering them with too much can have a negative affect. A nice party with one nice gift for each girl is the best route. I've helped in similar situations, and have seen first-hand.
As to the house, I'm glad that you two worked it out, but I just want to say that remember that he will be living there also. Seems like it would be reasonable for him to have a few touches of his own here and there. Just a thought.
Prayers continue and for sterling's church family too.

November 18, 2009 - Msg 76169: Good morning, porch! Boy, do I feel better after a good night's sleep! What a great time we had last night. Such a fine group of women, and many of us have been friends for more than thirty years. We've watched each other's kids and grandkids grow up, supported each other in grief and sorrow, and rejoiced in the good times. Whoever coined the term "church family" said a mouthful.

We're a diverse group - mostly WASPs, but not all. We have a woman from Morocco (who makes a chicken dish that's to die for) a couple of Hispanic women, an Asian woman, we had a black woman but they moved away, and we have a range of ages. Most of us are 60-ish and above (believe it or not, I'm not the oldest at 70, but I'm close) and we have three who are under forty. They said age doesn't matter, they like our class philosophy, and we have fun! We are the go-to class for the church. If there's a job to be done, or a need to be filled, the word is "ask Pat's class!" We consider that a compliment, and believe me, Pat never hesitates to commit us to a job, then tell us about it later. We try not to let her down.

Our church has an "internationals ministry", meets every Wednesday morning at the church. They have a crafts class, a sewing class, and a little grou0p that just practices the skills needed for shopping in a supermarket in the U.S. Many of these women have never shopped anywhere but in an open market. The main endeavor, though, is a class in English as a second language. That class is big! Naturally, the majority of the teachers in this ministry come from Pat's class! I've never gotten involved, because I almost always have to work on Tuesday nights, and know I wouldn't be able to give 100% on Wednesday morning. However, I'm thinking about trying it anyway, and see if I can change my schedule, at least most of the time. I did it for last night, but that was just one time.

They always serve food, mostly provided by our class, but sometimes other classes help out in that area. And the most fun - sometimes the class women themselves will bring food from home, some dish from their culture, and it's always a hit. Believe me, our class is a blessing to a lot of people, but to ourselves most of all. The opportunities for service are so many!

Well, guess I'll mosey along. I'm about ready for some lunch, got a few things to do, then have to work tonight. Be blessed, friends. --Romeena

Here's a good one, a few weekends ago I was at an estate sale, and i was looking at an old Royal upright typewriter. It was black/grey, and the keys had those raised, silver borders on them.
Anyway, a boy who was about 10 came up and looked at it too. He then proceeded to tell me that it was a "code-writer" from the "old war." I started
LOL, and told him no, it was a "TYPE-writer."
He went "Wow, what's a typewriter?" Suddenly, I felt very OLD! ha
Ro's typo made me think of it, because if you did hit two keys as Ro did, only one would end up on the paper, or the key "arms" would get "hung up" on each other. Remember that? (:

Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trott

Now I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot

I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin

November 19, 2009 - Msg 76181: Thanks MDC, New Neighbor, and everyone for the prayers!

The funeral was today, and though it was sad of course, it was also rather, hopeful. There were tons of people there, many of them pastors from other churches. The church was full, so my wife and I sat in the fellowship hall, which was set up with chairs from wall to wall.
I'd like to add something here, and I don't know, but it may be a proof of God's plan. You see, last month, we had donated a few big screen tv's for the school because I had found a flyer in our papers where the youth pastor(who was also principal) had made a list of things needed for the school. Among those things needed were 3 bigger tv's than they had, and dvd players(the school uses a dvd based teaching system, along with actual teachers in the classroom). So we decided to just buy the tv's and dvd players, because we wanted to help the school.

While walking around the school, with the youth pastor/principal happily showing me where the tv's would be going, I noticed that there were some other classrooms in the school that could also use some newer and bigger tv's, so I asked if they would like to redo those classroom systems as well. He said he didn't want us to overreach our finances, but accepted my offer when I assured him it was ok(we are not rich by any means, but my wife did receive some of her dad's benefits after he died, and we thought it would be nice to use some of the money for a good use).
So, they had some of the more mechanically inclined(I was not one of them) members of the church, install some of the tv's, but they still had a couple that they had not set up yet.

Those two tv's had still not been set up when our youth pastor/principal was killed last week.
They expected around 300 people at the funeral, so they set up those two tv's on the wall in the fellowship hall so that everyone could see the service going on in the church.
Now, they could have used the older, small screen tv's to broadcast the service on I suppose, and I don't think anyone would have complained about it.
But it is just weird how things work out sometimes.
God IS in control.

November 19, 2009 - Msg 76183: That is so neat, Sterling. Isn't it amazing how God can take the things we give out of our love for others, and use them in ways we can't even imagine. I was reminded of the little boy with the 2 fish and 5 loaves (i think) and how he gave them to Jesus and saw a miracle that he could have never imagined. That is my prayer, that I would be a cheerful giver and that when giving from the right motive, God will use it in amazing way for His glory. Surely you never expected that by donating those TVs, you would be comforting your church family in their time of grief. Last night at church, we talked about the parable of the man who tore down his barns, built bigger ones, stored up grain for a lifetime and said, "Soul take your ease, eat drink and be merry"...maybe not in that order but anyway, he met his maker that night. Jesus said it would be that way for those who are not "rich toward God". I think it is a good thing to ponder what it means to be "rich toward God" and consider not only the eternal consquences but the present blessings that come from loving generosity. What that rich man missed out on! I often tell myself, "Things are things; people are people". Remember what really matters to God. Investing in people is being rich toward God, I think.

Well, didn't mean to preach a sermon, I am just blessed and inspired by Sterling's story. It makes me want to do more and watch God in action.

Better go get Erin up for school.

RO- is your ministry part of the shoebox ministries that Franklin Graham does or just your own thing? Either way, that's great. Yesterday afternoon, the company that I work for helped out at a local food bank.
OK, one soapbox comment if I may...I read that now BO has bowed a very pronounced bow to the emperor of Japan. I am so tired of him bowing to
other countries etc. Chaps my hide. OK ..bluey goes my box.

Prayers for all who need them. STERLING, that was an amazing story. Sorry to hear about your youth pastor. BOO: Nice sermon, too ;).

MDC: I wouldn't worry too much about that bow. He's not the first prez to do it. It's just a sign of respect. "When in Rome..." Japan is one of our closest allies. Plus, they know we could cream 'em ;). I think humility and civility are greater signs of strength than obstination and posturing. Jesus, the king of kings, washed feet.

That shoebox ministry is a great one. We put some together each year. The Lord has really touched a lot of lives through the Graham family.

Our little Lila was baptized last week. She sure is cute. She's four months now but still only 9+ pounds. No problems evident, she's just "petite." Anyway, the doc and the Mrs. have decided to try her on cereal. It's be a couple of days and she's taken to it well.

WooHoo, MT, always game for a good moulage.
Not sure which other
presidents have bowed, if any, but I think that all changed on Dec. 7, 1941 anyway! Then, after the war that they started,we helped re-build Japan for 8 years after the war, got them on the road to democracy and allowed their imports to our country to help them out. As far as the "It's customary" or "when in Rome" bit, I don't buy it. How many foreign leaders "bow" to our customs when they are here?
Do they weare regular business suits, for example, when they are here? After all, that's our custom.
As for humility, when it comes to a country on the world stage, I say no thanks! With the likes of North Korea and Iran out there, I like the position of strength much better than that of this milktoast humility business.
OK sliding box back under the planks.
You have a happy Thanks giving too.

November 19, 2009 - Msg 76193: Good evening, porch. I'm through working for this week, and am back in my computer saddle, as those of you who get my emails are already aware. (Sorry!)

On the most current question, I think I'm going to stay in the middle. You all know I wouldn't want America to be anything but strong and proud, and would suggest to other nations that they show respect to us. However, I have no problem with BO making a formal bow to the Japanese emperor. They bow to everybody, there is no physical contact, it's just a bow. It's more like a handshake to them, so I didn't read anything into that particular bow. Now bowing over the hand of the Saudi king - that was another story, and spoke volumes in my opinion. There was, what's the word? Obeisance? (By definition - A gesture or movement of the body, such as a curtsy, that expresses deference or homage.) That one made me feel a little sick. By the way, Asa, I like your version. Kinda like my bacon - it bends at the waist. Hmmm, I wonder if Mr. O eats bacon? OK, I'm rambling. Must be tired.

Our shoebox ministry is part of the Samaritan's Purse effort, and we've done it for several years now. It's always fun. Along about September or October, we all start picking up little things in the dollar stores, and by "shoebox time", we have tons of stuff. Those boxes were heavy!

Hey to Gizzmo and kitten. Say hi to Tom for us - he always brings us the nicest poetry.

I had my annual performance eval this morning - it was painless, I still have a job, and got a 2.25% raise. Not much, but I've been there so long, and am so near the top of the "matrix" (whatever that means) that they have to shrink the percentage each year in order to leave room for something next year. Once I actually topped out, so to speak, and just got a bonus instead. Now and then they expand the matrix, and then I can start getting larger raises again. Actually, a raise doesn't mean a whole lot to me now, at this stage of the game. It was the raises I got thirty years ago, when I first started that mattered, because they're still with me, in every paycheck. The ones I get now aren't going to mean much for too many more years. Oh, I appreciate it, but right now, benefits mean more to me, and I'm happy to say that we do have a good benefits package.

Well, I'm off to make a little dinner, then a little TV, then to bed. I slept a couple of hours after I got home, but bedtime will be welcome. Be blessed, all. --Romeena

Thanks, REV. That was really funny (about the bumper sticker)!

Well, I had an interesting evening. I went to a concert with the church youth group and heard Casting Crowns, which was nice, but what is interesting is that it was in an outside amphitheater and it was raining cats and dogs. We carried out umbrellas, only to be told at the gate that umbrellas weren't allowed. We got rained on for nearly 2 hours before the concert actually started. Now, please don't think I am completely crazy. It was warm enough outside that we didn't get cold, so it didn't bother me. I am one of those wierdos that likes playing in the rain. I am pretty tired and should turn in now. See ya later!

Hope you are getting some sleep, possum. Maybe it is bank robbers. I remember once when I lived down in Indiana, there was a bank robbery that took place near the offices where I worked. And they had helicopters buzzing around looking for the perpetrators, and they had our offices on lock-down. I'm just glad that didn't happen during the later part of my work day, because I think I would rather have risked running into the robber(s) than spend more time at the office if I didn't have to. :)

I decided to buy a card for the family of the pastor killed last week, and I am trying to write a note in it. The associate pastor was asking people at the service to write something on little sheets to the wife and family about what her husband meant to them, or a story of him, etc. But he also said we could write them a card later. I didn't write mine at the time because I couldn't remember all of what I had thought about earlier about my experiences with him.
I know basically what I am going to say, but I am having real trouble with how to start off the letter/card. I mean, how do you start for something like that to the family, about someone you knew for a relatively short time, and only recently began to really converse with and know them?

If you have some suggestions, I would really appreciate them.

Better go to bed. Kai has school pictures taken tomorrow.

Boy Boo, I think if it was raining cats and dogs and they told me I couldn't take an umbrella, I would've turned right around and went home(don't like rain). :) Have a nice night!

I think honestly sharing your feelings would be best. You are the kind of guy that won't write the wrong thing.

Sterling, I have this about rain. I really love it and don't mind getting wet as long as it isn't cold, and its not here right now. I had on my flip-flops so I didn't have to deal with having my feet in wet socks and shoes, that's the main thing. Having wet feet is nothing, but having them in wet socks and shoes, no way.

It is still raining heavily here and I was just reading the local news man's weather journal on the website. He says this will be the coldest, wettest winter in a very long time here, so yay! It barely got cool last winter. I am looking forward to actually getting some use out of the fireplace. Of course to you Northerners, our lows would probably be laughable. Overnight lows are expected to be below 30, which will probably kill about a million Texans. ;-) hehe

Gotta get Erin going and go to the store, of all things. She is having her annual thanksgiving lunch at school and she needs to bring 2 pumpkin pies and 3 pkgs of rolls. I forgot about the rolls :-(! The pies got made yesterday, thanks to St. Susan.

We've tried to make this just like Frank's Porch. This is also a tribute to Ollie's "Trivialities" site which was another homage to Frank's porch but is no longer with us.
