Nothun' Much Happenin' But We Are "Getting On With It"

I wish I had something really interesting or newsworthy to blog about, but honestly life is pretty quiet right now and maybe that is a good thing! Especially at this time with so much going on in the news politically and economically I am grateful for the quiet. I can hardly stand to read the newspaper, listen to the radio or watch TV because surely we could all die of heart attacks and/or stress with so much "doom and gloom" (not including the unethical and immoral behavior that is reported) that is out there. So we, my husband and I, have decided there won't be much TV, or news in our home. It contaminants our lives too much and "that ain't healthy." As a matter of fact I think it actually causes me to gain weight! So we are reading more, praying more, and thankfully trusting the LORD more. And that is a good thing. Some other good things are: Zane is still doing really well (which is always a big praise) Zane's daddy is house shopping in FL as I type this (another good thing), and everyone is doing well: healthy, working, and as favorite saying of mine goes is "getting on with it." My mom was big saying on that and I like to think that the pioneers who went West often said that after some major event, or trial came and went. Imagine the type of things those pioneer women must have seen, endured, and faced! And some how they did. I know sometimes it must have taken sheer grit, determination and trust in the LORD that somehow they would get through things. And you know what? They surely did! Now, in my fifties, I sometimes wondered how I got through some things, but some of my ancestors must have rubbed off on me because here I am, "getting on with it" too. Thank you God! So I pray any one or everyone reading this blog is doing well and "getting on with it" with sheer grit, determination, and faith that the Good Lord, our Shepherd, our Hope, our Peace, and our Protector is going to help us get through all of it. Many blessings.

I came over from Rachel's re-cap of the Simulcast. She and I met in January, face to face after coming to know one another some-what via our blogs and the LPM Blog.

Your daugher is DELIGHTFUL!

And after reading your comment on this particular post...I know can begin to understand why!!!

Blessings,
