Happy Monday to you too, brother Roscoe, as you start your weekly routine to God's glory!
Dec 14, 2025 @ 18:28 Good evening family & friends❣️ I hope your weekend was peaceful, productive, festive, restful...whatever you wanted it to be. Ours was cold. Well, outside. I learned today that Maxwell doesn't shriek when I'm playing Christmas music on the radio. I haven't had background music playing this year because it's just more sensory input for my brain to try to manage but so is a shrieking parrot so I'm choosing Christmas music now hahaha! He even has quietly chirped along with some of it (as have I 🎢) so it's been very nice! Anyway, Pete was gone half the day and sleeping until a few minutes ago, this extreme cold takes a lot out of a body! I will be going to bed shortly so I guess we'll catch up to each other tomorrow, I don't think either of us have any plans. I did get a few things done here and on ChiaChow today more than usual so am happy about that too! I will see you in the morning, sleep well, good night❣️πŸ₯±πŸ€•πŸ™πŸ›Œ ~ ~ ~
Sunday Stuff: The Word – Dec 14, 2025 Edition
GUEST POST from Don – When You Are An Adult
Dec 14, 2025 @ 13:28 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ It is a bright sunny afternoon outside right now. Pete and Leelan went to church. The girls didn't want to go. I wish I could have gone...as usual... Had a nice 13-hour nap over night hahaha. Been working on my site all morning after a quick visit to my happy place just before noon. Casey just stopped by for a quick visit which is always nice (and wasn't possible until we moved here of course - a BIG bonus for living in the city!)...Pete will be home before long. I got a survey in my email this morning from Sam's club about my shopping experience the other day, so THAT took a minute to fill out, as you can well imagine hahaha! I am starting to feel like I'm recovering from that, not as dazed and confused, so that's a blessing. I did take a couple of short periods to play my keyboard yesterday since music is soothing and healing, as we all know...anyway, I will try to see what I can actually accomplish today, onward and upward, HOORAY!!!!!! Have blessed Sunday❣️ πŸ™Œ 🎢 🌟 πŸ‘‘ 🌟 πŸ› ❄️ πŸŽ„ chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~ "Two thousand years ago, God looked upon our sin-ravished world, saw our hopelessness and all our futile attempts to make ourselves right with Him, and He did what we could never doβ€”He came to us.

Dec 13, 2025 @ 05:59 Good morning family & friends❣️ I have been up for several hours after going to bed very early, even for me 😲 - as soon as we got home from Sam's yesterday actually. It was...er...eventful. We got there and had barely gotten started with our shopping when suddenly there was an incredibly Loud Alarm From Hell. For about 2 minutes. (I just wrote more about that in a health page update.) We had to leave, as we were told that they would be testing alarms for another half hour. So we left our buggy and went to a nearby sporting goods store to get me some ear protection "muffs" from the gun dept., gassed up the car, then went back to Sam's after 45 minutes just to be safe. Finished our shopping (I ended up having to sit and let Pete finish it), then came home. Casey & Bill came over to bring it in and put it all away - and there was LOTS - while I went straight to bed. NOT the day we were expecting. And to top it off, we bought a ton of lamb on sale for Pete with a sell-by date for tomorrow, and when they opened it, the house instantly stank of rotten meat! (Glad I was sleeping.) Casey is going to call Sam's today about returning the meat, over $100 worth! I hope we can exchange it, they had some nice legs of lamb there we would get instead. (Pete can only eat ruminant meat, seafood, and rabbit.) So. Not the day we had planned! Anyway, today I will be online/posting very minimally. In fact I will be out of bed only minimally. The "mini-devo" - such as it is - is a "cheat". There will be no Caturday post unless I can manage it later in the day. Just a heads up. That's how it's going to have to be, I'm sorry...but hey, you guys have a swingin' Saturday, eh? And I'll see you when I can❣️ πŸ™Œ 🎢 🌟 πŸ‘‘ 🌟 πŸ› ❄️ πŸŽ„ chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~
