Church

We have a Panasonic wireless phone. 

A great advantange for me.  I can set it beside me wherever I am.  On the first or second ring, I’m right there!!

Except . . .

The other day I am resting in another room, upon my bed of ease!  I have left the phone in its cradle.  The answering machine kicks in after six rings.  I have valiantly tried to arise from my bed of ease.  Kicking my feet to the floor, I grab my walker.  I stand and feel my feet under foot!  They are alright, so I begin the venture across the floor.  Three rings and I speed up my stride.  Five rings and I’m just around the corner — but there a few more corners to go.  As I reach the phone, the ringing in my ears is gone, and so is the caller.

So, today . . .

I’ve headed to the throne room (la salle de bain) and inadvertantly left the phone in anothe part of the house.  In the midst of my concentration, I hear this ringing in my ears.  I arise to go forth.  I leave the rest of the story to you to fill in — the ending is that the message machine got the best of me!

Now, I’m carrying the phone with me — it’s within a meter of me right now!!

I just looked — I have a callous from my walker!  Now that’s not one I expected!!

The scenery I view each day! 

We’ve had three blizzard days I’ve been able to view through this window (I thought they were really nice days!!).  Some days it feels like cabin fever.  But overall I’m thankful for each day that God gives me.

Awoke this morning to the cleaning of a driveway across the street.  This is not the first time the snow removal has been this effective.  Don’t we all wish we had this equipment on call??  By the way, that’s a CASE tractor — Jill figures it’s a 3500 or something like that!
