Well, the first Sunday in 2026! We had a nice discussion in Sunday School about our favorite scriptures. My two were I Corinthians 2:9 and II Chronicles 7:14. Todd’s Message was ‘Chutes and Ladders’. Life is like the game. Sometimes we climb, sometimes we slide backwards. But no one sets out to say ‘Today I’m going to ruin my life.’ Often we settle for GOOD when God has the BEST waiting for us. Remember that one day in the outside courts of God’s kingdom is better than 1000 days somewhere else. Be aware of God’s presence – climb the ladders. 1) Be in constant communication with God. 2) Have instant obedience to God. 3) Be desperate DAILY for God. Get up each morning and start again!

After church we were standing in the Welcome center talking, and my cousins were planning lunch. So they included me in the invitation and we went to Gianelli’s on Route 30. There was Mark, Paul – Laura – Nick, Deb, Mike – Talya, me. Since today is National Spaghetti Day, I ordered spaghetti with a meatball and a side salad. Yum! I was just saying how I hadn’t had spaghetti in SO LONG. I brought a little home and I can have it for lunch tomorrow. The restaurant was still decorated for Christmas and the tree was elegant.

Perfect day for Spaghetti – and thanks Deb for the reminder!

Long overdue for me.

I had a few things for Jen, and Nate wasn’t feeling well, so I stopped at Pet Smart and gave the items to Sherree. We had a nice chat, and she was so glad to see me! We decided we had to spend time together keeping each other busy! We had similar holiday experiences and it was nice to share a hug. There were two cats who were snuggling together. They were all beautiful cats. The dogs were really loud but clean and happy.

They are buddies for sure!
I finally figured out how to order through the online store for Highmark. I stocked up on a few things and they should be here this week.

Also, yesterday I saw online that the Washington Monument is being light with highlights celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary. I copied a picture of one but there were several. So we are already starting the celebration!

Just one of the images
TODAY I am thankful for Sherree and our time to share together. Have a great week, Sherree!

QUOTE of the DAY:

PEANUTS?

TOMORROW January 5th is:
National Keto Day; National Screenwriters Day; National Thank God it’s Monday Day; National Whipped Cream Day; National Bird day; National Day of Dialogue.
I think writing movies or screenplays would confuse me. I wonder who really is thankful for Monday? God bless…
