Some of you have been wondering why I haven’t written my blog for a couple of days, now you know. I can’t believe I did that! My insurance doesn’t cover water damage, wow these things are expensive! And besides the cost there is getting all the programs on my old, water logged iPad transferred over to my new one and all the passwords that I have to remember, it is a major pain in the buttocks!

I am in the process of growing in the character trait of patience and self-control, whoooeeeeee! But about the time I was getting really irritated I watched a few minutes of what was happening in Israel and to some of the families there and I thought my, oh my, I am amazingly blessed. Thank You Lord for all of Your blessings to me and my family, and please forgive me for failing to be more grateful for my relatively trouble free life.
