A face to launch 1,000 ships

Amelia is a brave little darling.  With not a peep from her during the cleaning and bandaging of her chin-y-chin-chin, she said after it was finished: "I did so good."  Yes you did, sweet baby.

Although there is much truth in Pamela Geller's thought-inducing article, I am thankful to report that her broad brush does not drably color all young people.  There is - and will always be - a Righteous Remnant.  And blessed be God, my three children along with their spouses and  four grandchildren are optimistic Jesus lovers.  Even the wee-est of the Wee shed the love abroad.  Isaiah Robert led us in the Hail Mary before bedtime the other night.  Salt and light is beckoning for those who grow weary of the dark.

Favorite photo ever

Aren't they the Most Precious!
Love them so much. 

I wish I knew this man

Look What You Can Do Without the Government (double click)

Mr. James Robertson setting off at 8 bells
for his 21 mile trek to work.
He will arrive at 2:00 for his afternoon shift.

Banker friend, Blake Pollack, sometimes picks up James
shortening his 21 mile work walk.  

Happy as a clown to be gainfully employed.

Mr. Robertson's work route.
He's walked this daily for 10 years.
Perfect work attendance.

Happy birthday to my favorite MidBorn

Who better to spend your 32nd birthday with
than Uncle Fun?!

Weekend Ohio visit

Danielle with her Uncle Dan and Grandma Marge.
At first glance, Dan looked so much like Robert, it startled me.
I love that Danielle and Aaron spent the weekend in Boardman, Ohio
with Robert's family.  We hardly ever see them.
Good times!
They even got to see Cousin Christina play her viola on the worship team.
Wonderful!

Words matter

And demagogues know it.

Our schools and colleges are laying a guilt trip on those young people whose parents are productive, and who are raising them to become productive. What is amazing is how easily this has been done, largely just by replacing the word "achievement" with the word "privilege."  Thomas Sowell

Christmas beauty and Beauties

John Read's glorious photographic capture
of the Nadler pasture.  

Danielle's skilled eye snapped this Paso Robles vineyard.
Terry Hoage Winery, I believe.

Now for the Beauties!

The MacMurchy darlings celebrating Christmas in Gregory, SD.

Blurry - but clear as a bell -
I miss Suzan Houser!

Sadly, I missed the one family photo of all!
In the Blue Room.  MIA.  So predictable.

Healing in 20 Fifteen

"(I) was feeling left out, alone, different. I understand now why people desperately seek an identity, whether it’s Japanese American or African American or an Adult Child of an Alcoholic, or any of the other countless groupings and categories. But, ultimately, it is only through God that we can feel connected to each other and to ourselves."  Robin of Berkeley

The colors in the Kingdom

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Colossians 3:11

Aren't they beautiful?
