In response to "Moving On "

I've been doing Bible reading plans for the past few years and have really appreciated the additional insight and context they can provide. Especially for those parts of the Bible that can feel very dense or hard to understand!

In response to "Beginning Again"

I've always wanted to do a Bible study, but I don't have a lot of spare time in my schedule. I guess that's why I like Lent and Easter, because I get the Ken Utner "Lil" books (one is black and one is white) and they have a nice 5 min message that I can read and then just let the message sink in through the day.

In response to "Saying Goodbye To 2024"

It's good to reflect on 2024 with its ups and downs and realizing that it could have been worse or better depending on our perspectives. I like the expression, tricked out, that sounds really fancy. The next time we renovate, I will use that term. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I love this. It sounds so matter of fact it could even be true.

I am a member of Blog City too. You notify Lyn's a Witchy Woman

that you want to be a member and once she adds you to the group you will get the prompts daily in your mailbox. She is having surgery now, and will be back no earlier than Friday I think. In the meantime, you can just join. Go to the forum of BC "Blog City Prompt Forum"

[E] and look for the daily prompt. By Prinses Megan Rose. Then answer the prompt in your blog. That blog entry has an ID number. Go back to the forum and put your blog entry in the forum. Then you can read and comment on other entries if you like. That's how easy it is.

This is my entry for today. "Happy Birthday, WdC!"

. I always put the prompt in my entry. You can do the same. I hope you will consider. It is fun!

In response to "Getting Out Of My Comfort Zone"

Thank You for reviewing my blog and I appreciate you including it Blogging Bliss Newsletter.
I can't tell by your reply where you are located? It would be nice not to see our temps go over 100 but that is a dream. We did spend a week in Carlsbad, Ca which is close to San Diego and it was 72 degrees daily and the evenings were in the 50's. I can only afford a short stay.
I did look into your blog to try and get an idea where you are from, and from what I read I'm guessing Japan. I was there in 1969 my ship was home-ported out of Yokosuka. I did some traveling when we were in port but to much. Young and dumb, so I didn't go to far, a group of us went to Tokyo for a day but that was about it.

Anyway a home is a never end battle of fix and repair kind of like the weeds in the yard their a never ending battle. We've been here 7 years and we had the house painted before we moved in. I don't see the need but happy wife happy life!

I will check out your blog another time and try and respond. Thanks for pointing to Blogging Bliss. I'm going to do my best to get a little more involved.

In response to "Getting Out Of My Comfort Zone"

We (my wife insists) plan to paint the inside of the house soon. The outside needs it too. Been over eleven years. But first, they need to finish the bath and kitchen re-tiling. Original builder used the same tile everywhere, walls and floors. However the previous owner had put wood down on everything except bath and kitchen.

We don't get much humidity here either, but the temps don't usually even hit ninety. Trade winds offer nice cooling.

Our solar lines go through the attic. I've see places where they put it all outside. Looks terrible. Hope the painting and additional solar all go smoothly.

Happy April Fools Day

Today is another blustery day, our high so far is 53° and the wind is blowing at 19mph from the WNW. I realize that are weather doesn't come close to what others are experiencing in the Mid West and South. My hats off to anyone who can live where you have the chance of being hit by a Tornado or Hurricane. Fortunately we don't see many of those around here and a lot of people say they wouldn't live in earthquake country. Let's face it, if one hits and your home and livelihood are affected then it's bad no mater where you live.

I need to get off that tangent, because it would be easy to go down a rabbit hole, Not a lot going on today, I will be taking a friend to his Dentist appointment around 2 and from there I'll go pick up a Prescription from Walmart. Then a little latter this evening I'll go to a Bible Study where we're covering Exodus. It's interesting and I'm glad to have the chance to study the Bible.

I'm looking forward to Saturday, when we expect to hear from our daughter about the new job, and how the week went. She said she'd call or come by so that gives us something to look forward to.

I'm going to quit for now
Remember
Life is Good and God is Great
