Body President Abraham Lincoln scripted: “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is whatever we hink of it; the tree is the real hing.” Thank God.

Body The other day I was browsing Facebook and stumbled upon something I found interesting. Just goes to show you if you look hard enough for almost anything, you'll probably find it, sooner or later.

Body My bonus granddaughter had just come home, from work. I was sitting in my ecliner, resting. (Yeah, I’ve been doing a lot of that, lately.) She is going to be married, in July. She is beyond thrilled and so happy.

Body A group of us were seated, at a rectangular shaped table. My family and I had come here, to celebrate my great granddaughter’s birthday. This is not, one of my favorite places, to eat. But, since it was her birthday; she had the privilege of choosing.

Body After about three months of wrestling with a variety of bug thingamajigs, I ended up with a case of acute bronchitis. Believe me; it was not really cute at all.

Body It’s the break of day. A chorus of chirps have begun announcements galore. The repetitiveness renders me still. I sip the sweetness and ask the Lord, what is in store today? What difference can I make?

Body In a few months, I will celebrate another birthday. Interestingly, these birthdays come every year. This year, if I've kept up to date, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. I never expected to get this far along in life. I always thought 75 was old.

Body God takes our breadth away… Day after day we see and hear and feel His presence everywhere. All of us are His creations. We are not all black and white. He did not use a cookie cutter.

Body I was buying salad makings. I love bell pepper. I saw that they were on sale, two for so much. I decided to get two, instead of the one; I had intended to buy. Several days later, it became obvious that; I wasn’t going to use the second one; before it ruined.
