My hubby will work until 2 or so and then I will meet him at church to help clean the building, which he and I do once a month. That will take a couple of hours and then we are having four of our local grandkids here for supper and a few hours while their parents belatedly celebrate Valentine's Day. <br /><br />So my day looks very busy between these activities and my other tasks. Off to get busy ...<br /><br />Stop by any time, Sherry. I enjoy company here in my kitchen!

I hate driving on ice and I don't really like driving on snow either, but I do it when I have to. What is the worst with the snow is that it is plowed up into huge snow banks that make visibility very tricky when entering or exiting driveways and parking lots. You would not believe the size of the snow banks in our local Walmart parking lot.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and please come back any time!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-34590328902391584122017-02-18T09:48:04.765-05:002017-02-18T09:48:04.765-05:00Well, Debby, you had good reason not to find the t...Well, Debby, you had good reason not to find the time.

Here in the deep south, we get a small amount of snow most every year . . .but we usually have an ice layer underneath the snow and no one can drive on it and we have lots of wrecks! The good thing is that when we have a one day snow event (or maybe two or three days - twice in my lifetime) EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING shuts down so everyone hunkers down in their homes!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-83854553857776851872017-02-16T22:13:23.159-05:002017-02-16T22:13:23.159-05:00I enjoyed your hodgepodge answers!

You mentioned how you wish, Christians would live their faith. Just this past Sunday, I saw the documentary, The Insanity of God - There is no free church and persecuted church, we are one = the church. IDK, what you said, made me think of that.
