BARKING


Our grandkids puppy - MILO!
My bark sounds a little -- ok, well -- a lot deeper, lol!


About midway into our wonderful visit with family and friends, I picked up a horrible cough and now sound like a barking dog! We cut our visit to our daughter and family short and came home. There's no place like home - especially when feeling sick.  As this is NOT the flu, I'm just resting, drinking lots of fluids, and taking my extra vitamins to help my body fight this thing!  I seem to get one of these every 3-4 years it seems!  This too shall pass and I'll hopefully be back at work next week!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers during our time away!

Dear Karin keep up the fluids and gargle and rinse out the nostrils and wash your hands and all the good things I know you are doing. I have had the allergies and scratching throat etc, but no flu. I am staying close to home and my grands are all older and not snotty like the littles some times.

Sorry to hear that you had to cut your visit short, Karin, but I understand. Last year when I was with friends at Tybee Island, GA, I got a stinkin' old cold and felt miserable the entire time. All I wanted to do was to go home and get in my own bed. It was a horrible trip for me.. SO--I do understand.

Cute little doggie... Was he afraid of YOUR bark????? ha

Welcome home though. I missed you.
Hugs,
Betsy

Hope you can get that barking problem under control soon. We've been experiencing a lot of it around here and I don't just mean from Pepper!

That's a cute little puppy your grandchildren have. :)

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
