This new year has been quite a year so far...We started out the year with a break in next door. The neighbor must have a few enemies because she is the only one who has break -ins; but you cannot make people mad by dating their husbands and not expect retaliation. A couple days after that we had a gas leak and had to move out of our house overnight. When they fixed it, it was discovered that there was a leak around the meter also..God spared our family's life because just after Christmas there was a gas explosion in Detroit and 2 people were killed. We had revival at church; I taught Bible Study; I attended a Pampered Chef party with friends; had the Kersey Family Reunion meeting at our house and actually had a nice time - I made my chicken and dressing casserole, salad, rolls, and strawberry trifle for dessert. Had a very interesting Missionary Meeting last night; let's just say I do not understand the Canadian way at times...I don't know who reads my blog so that is as far as i will go with that statement. That meeting has me rethinking the whole being on the missionary board thing. I am having Val and Anthony over for dinner on Saturday. We will play Scrabble after dinner. I love games and do not always have willing game partners in my house. My dad's 80th birthday is next Saturday and to him it is just another day. He does not want to do anything special, so I will make him a pineapple cake and visit for a short time. No presents - he does not need anything. The choir is having a chili cook off on the 30th and of course I am going to compete...I am adding vegetables, like onions, shallots, green and red pepper, celery, hot italian sauage, diced kielbasa, ground beef or turkey, kidney beans and northern beans to my chili, along with one secret ingredient. I PLAN TO WIN !!!!

I was in a funk the other day, but I got over it...it was just a matter of trusting God for a situation and of course God came through as he always does....I don't deserve his grace and mercy, yet he sees fit to bless me with them anyway...I love the Lord, he heard my cry and pitied every groan...as long as I live, and troubles rise, I'll hasten to his throne....be blessed, I am.
