I recently bought a book called “A Tailor-Made Bride” by Karen Witemeyer but have been so busy that I haven’t had time to start it yet. However, I did get to meet Karen in person because she goes to church where our son and future d-i-l do. She’s a sweet person, and I look forward to having the time to read her book. She writes historical fiction, and her books are sold on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at Lifeway. Let me know if you’ve read one of her books.
Have you ever wanted to eat a certain number of ounces but the weight of the food was given in grams? Just remember this:
I round the grams to 28 to make it easier to remember. So, if I want to eat three ounces of meat, then I multiply 3 x 28 which means I need approximately 84 grams of meat. Sounds like a lot when the meat is measured in grams!

Education is considered to be a stepping stone in increasing knowledge for both professional and personal development. The practical application of education in a certain field of study can give way to obtaining a professional career or even establish a great foundation to begin a very promising business venture. However, many professionals feel that because of the job and time constraints, going to a school or attending a college is quite impossible to do, thus, coming up the wonderful idea of distance learning or online education.
Creating an investment in education can be one of the most compelling and clever decision that you could ever make in your life because it bring forth immediate impact to your future. Basically, online education plays a vital role with regards to connecting student with various colleges through online classes around the world, despite of the location, time, distance or any other barricade. Online education courses are being offered by open institutions to acknowledge the call for internationally recognized quality training and education.
Whether you are a student who is just starting with their road to learning, a successful professional who wishes to further their education through specialized and advanced programs, or simply a person who is bound by health or travel concerns, online education courses are definitely the answers to your problems.
Here are a few of the many benefits that you can be able to obtain in an online education:
The Internet has truly changed the way in which education is being delivered with the focus that still remains the same and that is for the students to obtain a good environment for learning.

Monday: Salmon Patties, corn, salad

Friday: Digiorno Spicy Chicken Supreme Pizza & salad
Have you ever started a business and had to get everything from industrial signs to fire extinguishers to cash registers? As I’ve written before, we did back in the eighties. There are so many things on a shopping list for a new business. Back then, though, we didn’t have the convenience of shopping online. Nowadays, people are able to get nearly everything they need and find the best prices by searching on the Internet and then having the items delivered to their doorstep. That’s a good way to start a new business.

This weekend was beautiful weather-wise. Nice to not have any storms! Sunday, we went to a church luncheon at noon for the recovery group that attends there. Then I went to a wedding shower for a young lady at church who is getting married. It was a beautiful shower! Next week, they’re having a shower for our future daughter-in-law (although they don’t know her, just our son). So exciting!
We feel so blessed to be part of a church family that is so loving to people, whether they’re poor or homeless or well-to-do, no matter the skin color or age (lots of babies, children, college students, young couples, middle age and elderly), and that reaches out to those are overcoming additions and to those in the community by hosting a children’s clinic for neighborhood children, having a weekly food pantry and clothing for those in need, adopting a near-by school and doing things for the students and faculty, and a lot of other things. Reminds me of the saying, “What would Jesus do?” The Bible tells us some of the things Jesus did when He lived on earth which were helping the poor and needy, loving others, and doing good. What a wonderful example to try to follow!
So…here’s our menu. Hope you have a great week!
Monday: Salmon patties, salad, baby carrots
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Chicken, corn, salad
Thursday: Chef salad
Friday: Pizza
Sometimes computers can be so frustrating. Every once in a while, my computer at school or at home will freeze up or run slowly for a little bit. That makes me want to speed my computer up so I can get my work done. But for the most part, both of the computers work great, and I’m very thankful to have them to make my work easier.
Father’s Day is coming up soon now that it’s June. What would be a good gift to give a musician? That’s always the question because we like to give gifts that people really like. Does he need any good egnater amps or any other music related accessory? Or is there a good book about music he would like or maybe a new shirt to wear to one of his gigs? I’ll do some thinking about it and try to come up with something I think he will like.
Our son and future daughter-in-law just closed on a house so they would have it to move into after they get married the end of June. They have been doing basic cleaning like you would do before moving into a house, changing locks, putting in a security system, etc. They cleaned the carpets which is always good to do. They have also made sure the Internet is up and running, a very important thing to do nowadays. They still have a list of things they want to get done before they move in, but at the rate they’re going, they should be finished in plenty of time before the wedding.
Happy Memorial Day! If you are a veteran or have friends or relatives who are veterans, this day is to honor your service to our country. We have several veterans in our family, and we appreciate what all of the veterans have done to help make our country safe.

We don’t know why tragedies have happened the last few months, why innocent children and staff died at Sandy Hook Elementary; why so many people, several of which were children, died and were injured and lost their homes in Moore, Oklahoma; why people died in a tornado in Granbury recently. There have been other tragedies as well the past year, the past decade, and throughout history.
But one thing I do know without a doubt is that our God cares, and He is close to those who are hurting. He will comfort all those who turn to Him for comfort.
There are so many people in churches all over the country who are reaching out monetarily and with their time and sweat to help those who are hurting. The church where we attend in Texas helped people up north after the hurricane hit so hard a few months ago. And you know what? Some of those people from the church who were hit hard up north came down to Texas to help those in the West, Texas, disaster recently. It really encourages me to hear of all the many things that are being done by fellow Christians all over the country to help those who are hurting, who are brokenhearted, who are grieving.
I am so overwhelmed with the end-of-school things that have to be done, but I hope that I can go to at least one of these places where people are hurting and be of comfort and help to them this summer. That’s my goal.
The best source of comfort comes from God. Here are some verses from God’s Word, the Bible:
