Dec 1, 2025 @ 12:12 (!) Good afternoon family & friendsโฃ๏ธ Happy to see December arrive as this year I will be celebrating Jesus' arrival every day here on the blog! Each day you will find something joyful about this blessed event here, starting above. There is a month for just about anything you can think of all year, this is one of His (as I plan to do the same in April 2026 for His return to heaven). I'm starting to brush up on my Christmas tunes which is fun. Not much else new here, not sure if we will have to go anywhere today or not, but the roads are all clear after the weekend snow storm so it's ok if we do. Meanwhile I have plenty to do around here as I'm able so there's no risk of idleness hahaha! Have a magnificent Monday and I will see you laterโฃ๏ธ ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐ŸŽถ ๐ŸŒŸ ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐ŸŒŸ ๐Ÿ› โ„๏ธ ๐ŸŽ„ chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~ "One thing we need to remember before we dive into this topic is that human depravity (our need for a Savior due to our slavery to sin) does NOT mean we donโ€™t have value.

Nov 30, 2025 @ 21:18 Good evening family & friendsโฃ๏ธ In a few hours we'll begin another new month - this year is zooming past so quickly! Happy we'll be starting December with lots of snow too. Today after doing the things I do including chapter 4 of Don's original story and an hour or so with my T5, I slept much of the afternoon. Got up, ate, have been sitting here browsing the web in a daze; don't you hate them when you wake up from a long nap, but only about 80%? I'm not a fan. So once I finish taking care of the PoiBoiz I will be going back to bed. I hope you have had a wonderful long weekend, if you are one who gets that for Thanksgiving, or a regular weekend if you aren't. And I will see you in the morning. Good nightโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ›Œ ~
GUEST POST from Don โ€“ โ€œThe Best Is Yetโ€ (part 4)
Nov 30, 2025 @ 10:54 Good morning family & friendsโฃ๏ธ We got our snow overnight! And it is beautiful! You will see as you peruse some of today's posts, pages, and updates that snow is a common theme. I am excited! We won't be going anywhere today but will enjoy a relaxing day of rest. I am really wanting to record today but we will see...I would have to use my phone, which I can prop up in a bowl, but not sure if I have a place to set it where the entire keyboard can be shown at an acceptable angle. If not, the new cable is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. But either way I will be playing, I'm so close to the end of my book, and looking forward to working on the songs after that...we'll see how long I'm able to play, it's iffy but not totally outside the realm of possibility that I can finish it. Leftovers in the fridge mean I don't have to cook, so that's a good thing. I did put up a post already with some pictures of our snow, link below of course, but it's even prettier now that the sun is out. I may take more. But I'll be getting busy now so I will see you later, have a great dayโฃ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐ŸŽน๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅฉโ„๏ธ๐Ÿค•๐ŸšŒโค๏ธ P.S. I absolutely love the phrase "storehouses of snow" as used in Job 38:22, there is a gorgeous photo and a couple of paragraphs about it at that I love! ~ ~ "Though we are stained with guilt, sin, and shame, He takes it all away and makes us clean. He removes our stains and in return makes us pure and righteous because that is what God does." (goes with the graphic below) image
SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! November 30, 2025
Nov 28, 2025 @ 22:13 Good evening family & friendsโฃ๏ธ We are getting our snow this evening, but Pete said that he doesn't think we'll get as much they've been predicting. He's probably right, we rarely do. So hoping church will still be a possibility for morning. We did our errands today then I came home, ate, did the Caturday post, and went to bed. Got up a little earlier this evening and have been playing my keyboard. I'm nearly at 800 of the 900 selections (not all 900 are songs; some are readings) in the latest modern hymnal I bought which means I will spend the next however-long arranging all of the songs I had chosen to work on further - REALLY fun stuff! I wasn't able to get a cable I needed today (the one I mentioned this morning) so had to come home and order one online; when it comes I will be able to do serious recording again although there's always my cell phone if I am desperate ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. November is almost over of course, and I love to celebrate Christmas in one way or another every day in December, which will be reflected here too, starting December 1. Such a joyful time of year, a time of celebration, and we all need more of that! So I'm excited... But first it is bedtime so I will see you in the morning. Sleep well, good nightโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ›Œ ~
