Tassels At The End



Ever have the feeling that, just like these Tassels, you are just barely hanging on?

These are times when, if you are a Christian, you know wherein lies your salvation. Looking to Jesus for peace and contentment will help to bring joy back into one's life; especially on a day like today as I celebrate my 74th birthday... 

Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved...

New Year - Day 1 - New Paper



Our paper Lady is something else. She is up in her age but she takes pride in her delivery of papers. She always tosses it and gets the paper on our little 3x4 stoop. If she throws it and it falls off to the side she will always come up, retrieve it, and place it in front of the door.

This time she finally got it to stand up when she pitched it from the road. First time ever...
