I took a program in archives while doing my Library Science degree.  In it, I I ran across a way to gather people’s recollections of their own lives called “oral history”.  With a tape recorder in hand, you record the remembrances of a person and this becomes their “history”.  The thing is — even when these are very personal recollections, they need to be corroborated!  Even remembering exact dates of marriages, births and deaths can be less than accurate!

So, I got an email reminding me that my “70’s picture” of the four Baker brothers was actually an “80’s” picture. 

We all need corrobortators!!

In our town we hold a goose festival the end of September.

We pluck geese, peel potatoes, hold tractor and horse pulls, do parades, show vintage cars, provide go carts and kid friendly activities.  

Not that I’m biased, but “y’all come on down, ya hear!”

On seeking God this morning:

If I am proud, show me a mirror
If I am sinning, extend to me mercy
If I am convicted, thanks for your grace
If I am weary, give me your strength
If I am overwhelmed, float me a boat
• If I am joyful, teach me a dance
