I often think of Lydia in the Bible.   I think of her working to provide for God’s church,  of her entrepreneurial spirit.  How God used her and I am sure other women’s Spirits, gifts and experiences to enrich  His church.   I don’t know the stories of all these women,  but I could easily see their work ethic.  I am sure many of them were providing for their families and I know that some of them were working  to care for God’s people.  The first one is of women running a stand at Darjeeling.  Food for the tourists.                A teacher at the school that I visited who brought her baby to work with her every day. Here she was cooling her down and washing her up on break time  between classes.      Nepali women at the Himalayan Zoological Park selling corn snacks. A young girl running her own tea stand in the tea fields ...

It was time to escape the snow. I know that I had enough. I always hope when i get home that its almost over. We pulled out after church on Friday night  drove to Clarksburg, West Virginia.  Saturday brought us  Skeeter’s Hot Dogs in Wytheville, Virginia, for lunch and Sunday’s Soul Food in Walterboro, South Carolina for supper.  Spent the night in Kingsland, Georgia.    Sunday was spend wandering around Ameila Island.  Traveled down A1A and rode this ferry across the St. Johns River. Found this amazing shop!   The art and creativity of the vendors was amazing!  Then we went to supper at Safe Harbor Seafood.   The line was so long that we opted for takeout and a tailgate picnic along the river.      Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a huge bird fan and JWS knows this well.    So Why?  Why would he choose to feed the rest of the seagulls his French fries right over ...

In the past two weeks I have been in Fort Lauderdale, Cap Haitien, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and New Orleans.    To say "I am ready to be home is an understatement!  This written while sitting in New Orleans airport, two more cities and lots of hours until home!

The following pictures will explain the halt in production at the shop yesterday. I had Kendall for the day, not realizing that Jenn was going to have the boys there also. These are the scenes from my office yesterday. Tyler decided to try out this baby chair, after all, it was his originally. Logan and Tyler completely took over one of the desks and computer stations after telling Nana to "GET UP" because he wanted in there. Grampa finally gave up and just played ball. This is me, still trying to get some order in the place. Tyler decided to hide in the extra shirt cabinet. Kendall got her first experience in the walker. I think that she liked it. I did manage to finish this baby gift last night. I had ran out of yarn at one point and could not find it locally, had to call my Mom in Ohio to go and find it and mail it to me. The shower is Saturday, time to spare actually! I still do not have my computer printer issues resolved. They are completely frustrating me t...
