Some of you remember my love for the awesome, albeit quirky and low AI, game called Ascendency. I would play it over a million times if I could, leaving it for many months, then playing a game every day or two for weeks again. BUT, it wont play on WindowsXP. So the other day, or [...]

We had a great anniversary, topping it off with seeing my daughter. She even kissed me goodbye on the cheek like she used to when she was younger. Got a few things done today. Helped Mer make dinner. Talked with Jes (peacevine) on the phone this evening. The farm is tomorrow. Life is good.

With the help of Mer, Jeff, and Mike, we cleaned out much of the buildings in the complex from junk, abandoned furniture, garbage, old windows and screens, etc… And most meaningful to me, I got a voice mail from my daughter who wants to see me at our usual time on Tuesday. I’ll be dropping [...]

Mer and I went to Pumpkinville today between choir practive and a meeting I had to go to tonight. I wished Christina was with us, but then I realized something.

The readings today were Isaiah chapter 5 and Paul’s letter to the Phillipians, chapter 4. Exactly what I needed — they speak to me. I feel like writing another psalm, but I will spare you all … for now. Addendum: Finally. I decided to take long refreshing shower today, and the weather was the perfect [...]
