Geo-what-ing...


There is a modern twist on the ancient game of the scavenger hunt. Geocaching. You get a geocaching unit or use a GPS, sign up for free instructions on the web site for the game, and you can start looking for the hidden stuff planted by people all over the place.

Renewal

It has been many months since I have written anything on my blog. My life took many turns- some planned, some unexpected.  And a long story made short, my efforts and energies were used up after I made dinner, so the task in taking time to do some writing was placed on the back burner. The stories were not gone, just at rest and waiting for their time.  For those of you who have checked for posts since last summer, I thank you for your interest, and apologize to you for making you wait so long for something new to read.

I have much to learn about so many things but find it exhilarating to try new things or see something I've never seen before. To experiment. To create. To see improvement after practice. To rethink things. To live!

One skill I have wanted to expand on is gardening. Growing up on a farm and having fresh produce right outside the front door is a way of life that you never forget. My raised bed is thawed out from winter's grasp, waiting to be of use again.

Excellent music

I stumbled across a wonderful album recently. The band's name is "Gateway Worship" and they only have two albums so far. They are from a church in Texas (Dallas area, I think) and their music is so, so good.

There are a few things I appreciate about this group. Here are some of my impressions after listening to them for a couple of weeks.

One: The fact that they are making songs that have to do with the way things are in Heaven. Aren't we taught to pray for things to be on earth as it is in Heaven? Why not sing about it?
