Laptop’s Back

This afternoon I received my laptop back from warranty repair.  It’s so nice to have my own computer back.  Using someone else’s computer is sort of like cooking in a strange kitchen.  Now, I have to get the temporary files off of Rebecca’s computer and bring them back here.  I never thought I would have [...]

Today marks the two year anniversary of blogging.  It has been an interesting journey.  I enjoy going back from time to time to see my thoughts and what the Lord has brought us through.  In those early days I was lucky to post once or twice a week.  Now, it’s usually once or twice a [...]
