    A little weekend reading…  Okay, a lot of weekend reading… especially if you connect the dots. I think I hear it… the faint call is becoming louder:  … – – – …  is becoming …- – -… I started thinking along this line recently as I have been thinking more and more: dot, dot, dot… connect the dots.  American people: dot, dot, dot… connect the dots!  The I considered Morse Code and the sound of dots and dashes or dits and dah’s.  So, in these days, if people are of a mind to hear, they’ll hear the dits…and the connecting…

    The days go by… so fast.

    Another Monday… Monday’s are sort of reflection days for me — maybe they are for you, too. It sort sets the pace for the week in reflection & prayer as I work around our home.  I reflect on what was shared in the Sunday meeting — the messages, songs, prayers… etc., etc.  I also reflect on whatever else happened over the weekend — which, most weekends, is at least one event or another. My mind sort of floods with thoughts of Saturday. I had the privilege to speak at a retreat in Olympia and the faces of the women are…

    Today’s email Funny…

    My mom sent me this one in the email today:   Thought it was too funny… but it’s sort of ironic… since we just got a dog last night and we’ve never asked the second question. 2 questions… 1.) Should I get a dog…?  Or. 2.)  Should I have children?….
