Today is the first Sunday of Advent and the holiday season is in full swing. Before you get swept up in the usual “spend, spend, spend” cycle of meaningless consumerism, I encourage you to watch this: Something to consider, isn’t it? var addthis_config = {“data_track_clickback”:true};
Autumn in Ada…
I took these with my phone a few days ago and thought I’d share a glimpse of “Autumn in Ada”. This is our church From another angle The park Another view of the park These were taken Tuesday before our first freeze of the year which happened on Thanksgiving. It’s warm again now but I…
Thanksgiving: Part Two
I do believe yesterday was the most relaxed, peaceful Thanksgiving we’ve ever had. In the past we have always gathered with my huge extended family to celebrate.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Buy Nothing Challenge…
November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S., is known as Black Friday. It has become a frenzied day of ultra-consumerism kicking off the holiday season. But you know what? You can opt out. Instead of battling the crazy hoards of shoppers, I plan to spend the day relaxing with my family. I…

We had just been seated at the restaurant when David got a call from our friend, Debi asking where we were. David told her and she said we needed to get ourselves down to Tropical Isle immediately. A couple of the guys from Rain were in the bar! Rain is the famous Beatles tribute band…
