Erik visits from California

mikeandsus

We enjoyed a visit one night with our nephew, Erik, who was on a business trip to our area for a few days. Mike, Josh, and Jenny took Erik to Downtown Disney Pleasure Island. (Ben and Sus were out-of-town). They enjoyed stopping at a new Harley-Davidson store which has custom Harley-Davidson motorcycles with unique paint schemes on display to see and to sit on. You can see both Mike and Erik on the Harleys at our Family Album site. Continue reading Erik visits from California

The Right Tract at the Right Time

mikeandsus

I was waiting my turn as the clerk answered questions for the man in front of me. I was half-listening and began to check my purse for tracts. Nuts! I thought. I had not re-stocked my purse and only had Spanish Four Laws. “Where are you from?” the clerk asked his customer. “Mexico,” he replied. As the man finished his purchase, I welcomed him to our country and he accepted a tract from me. Like many non-English-speaking people I meet, he was pleased to get a booklet in his own language. I was amused that God made sure I had … Continue reading The Right Tract at the Right Time

Alpacas and More on Trip to Ohio

mikeandsus

I had a great visit to Ohio, so  I wrote the following narrative to explain the photos in the Ohio trip album. I visited a lot of friends and places. One of the big news items in May was the massive forest fire in Georgia. The pilot pointed it out to us as I flew over Georgia to Cleveland. The next day, I drove to Cincinnati. My friends drove me over to Kentucky to have a leisurely lunch on the Ohio River on a replica of a paddle wheel steamboat. As I headed back to Cleveland, I stopped in Coshocton for an … Continue reading Alpacas and More on Trip to Ohio

Too Much of a Good Thing

mikeandsus

The clerk watched me rummaging through my purse. I had already paid and should have been walking away. I was pawing through more than seven varieties of tracts trying to find the right one. The minute this took to do was agonizingly long. This is awkward, I thought, as I finally handed her a little green booklet. I went home and removed some of the tracts. Normally, I chat a little while a clerk is ringing up my purchase. I also try to use their name or at least read their name badge. I get my tract out while they … Continue reading Too Much of a Good Thing

Freedom

mikeandsus

I felt lighter… and not just because I had just tossed a boxful of unread magazines into the dumpster! For a long time I felt obligated that I must read those magazines. I finally realized it was not going to happen and decided to just toss them out! I definitely had a sense of freedom now that I did not have to find the time in my life or the space in my home for those magazines. Since then, I have donated old educational magazines to schools, which were very glad to get them. (Nursing homes or other places may … Continue reading Freedom
