Heritage Farm renovation:  We have just about finished replacing rotten boards and look forward to a big paint day to finish up.  But not this Saturday with at least freezing temperatures to say nothing of snow.

 True?

The truly spiritual man does not embrace a religion; and he who embraces one has no religion.

    True is always better than false—even where I myself am concerned. “If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture,” Einstein wrote, “let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies… It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”

    From Jane Drake:

    A very good friend of mine needs in-home care for six months, starting anytime and including her surgery date of Dec. 15. She is a delightful person and easy to get along with. Her husband, who is blind, works out of the house, and they have a son who is 20. They have a lot of critters in their home!

    The person’s main job would be to clean, do laundry, and make three square meals a day. No heavy lifting. No patient care. Person does not need to speak English OR drive. They must live in (they will have their own room and bath). It could also lead to a permanent position.

    If you are interested, please get in touch with John and he will give you a
    number to call.
     

    True?  Good friends are like stars; you don't always see them, but you know they are there!

    Acts 10:  You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.
    Colossians 3:  If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
    John 20:  They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.



    It is the way we measure our riches that will determine the quality of our lives.
