Today is September 11, a day to remember when our country fell under attack by radical people. We have moved forward, but they still hate us and what we stand for including being Christians and believing in the LORD Jesus Christ.

Has time healed the hearts and lives of those that have lost loved ones that day? Many programs on TV showed what happened and talked to those who survived the attacks on the twin towers that day. They talked to some whose family members survived when they thought they had lost them. They talked to Tom Burnett's wife and Mark Bingham's mother. These two men were on Flight 93. But so many others are out there without their loved ones and some gave birth after many months passed. Have any of them accepted Jesus as their Saviour or do they blame God for allowing this to happen? This is something I wonder about when seeing these programs.

Well, we are going through times of lay-off from work for Rick. Two days off one week and then one day; and then for Labor Day it was not back to work until this past Thursday. This week is two days and next week will be five. This changes from day to day.

Just finished reading The Little Minister by J. M. Barrie. He wrote Peter Pan. I have never read Peter Pan. It is on my to read list. But The Little Minister was a challenge. First, he has the people speaking as the Scots speak, of which they are. But, I'm not Scot, so I had to make my brain work extra hard and try to translate it into English. What a challenge!! So, if you decide to read this book stick with it and you will enjoy it. What should have been a quick read ended up taking forever.

Mahjong is still my favorite new game. It's funny because Rachel is addicted too.I think she needs intervention. It is really bad! She starts playing it as soon as her students leave the classroom. That's just unbelievable. If you are willing to help me help her, let me know.

Enjoying the beautiful weather the LORD has given us this week. Hoping you enjoy the upcoming weeks.
