Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles

I don’t have a lot of time as I have to go get my driver’s license renewed this morning.  I discovered yesterday that it had expired on my birthday last Tuesday, which I had not realized.  I look like a Monday morning after a heavy duty weekend, but actually it is just old age digging [...]

For those of you who are Facebook friends – my Facebook account has been hacked.  FB has disabled my account, so that not even I can reach it at the moment.  A good blogging friend of mine had the presence of mind (and know how) to contact FB and tell them my account had been [...]

Resuming our Arkansas Memories tour the next morning, Monday, November 2, 2009, we started off the morning early (well, some of us – I was still down in bed) in our rental house, where the Andrews/Jolly clan gathered on the deck:

Dickie, Jimmy, “Tommy,” Debbie and cousin, Oliver looked bright and happy.  The day was gorgeous [...]

Tom gave me a diamond solitaire engagement ring on Valentine’s Day the winter we were married.  Those were happy days nearly 19 years ago, but today is even better!!  Here’s a photo of how we looked then:

We may have a little more gray in our hair these days (at least one of us – ha!), [...]

[Note:  Have had a very busy week, including being gone all day yesterday to see a neurosurgeon.  Am having to have neurosurgery on Tuesday Feb. 2 on my left arm.  So, for today, an interlude.  Back to Cotter next time.]
Scripture to ponder today:
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, [...]

Fun, fun, fun stuff here today!  Enjoy!
[Note:  Just ignore the gray "box" across the bottom that will go away in seconds.  Second, when the "ads" start across the bottom, hit the x box in the right corner to shut them down.  It's worth that bit of work to hear these guys.  In fact, you'll want [...]

What started out as one person going into Wally World in eastern Arkansas to get a step stool turned into all eight of us wandering around WW’s hinterlands for an hour searching for each other with our eyes wide at all of the costumed Halloweeners.  The 25% of the patrons not in full costume looked [...]

Casting Crowns
Being in the middle generation between an elderly parent and grown children with young families many times – as has been lately – brings about all kinds of family crises.  Add to the mix siblings, nieces and nephews, even a grown grandchild with a little girl of her own and life can become a [...]

I feel very blessed with amazing graces this morning because of all of your heartfelt comments and prayers on my behalf and for Rebecca and our entire family.
One of the biggest blessings came yesterday about noon when Rebecca called me to tell me she’d had a CT scan early yesterday morning, that the abscess in [...]

The thing about guys and their GPSs is that, at least with Tom, he wanted one really badly, but then when he gets one, he doesn’t follow what “she” tells him to do, anyway, so what’s the point?  Kinda like getting married it appears to me.
Before “we” got “ours,” Tom just had [...]
