Along The Way (15/May/2006)

Monday... Row, row, row your boat, gently down my street - yes, my street is under water. The police have set up a barricade about 200 yards from our house closing the road to thru traffic. It's an adventure to make it just about anywhere in Amherst or Merrimack from here. I am ready for the sun to return and for the flood waters to recede. This is one of those times, however, when I am thankful not to have a basement!

I'm getting ready to celebrate a milestone. It appears likely that tomorrow this blogsite will go over the 10,000 visitors mark since we put a counter on it in September of 2005. That's roughly 1250 visitors a month, which might not seem like a lot to web pros out there, but it is a tremendous blessing to me. I am very thankful! I only wish I had a way of telling who the 10,000th visitor is, so we could make a big deal about it.

It has been a pretty productive day off for me even though the rain kept me from the outdoor chores I had wanted to complete. It's been a good day for reading and writing. Tonight my daughter Becky and I will enjoy a dinner date.

The sermon notes and message audio for yesterday's service should be up on the site soon. Sorry for the delay. I've heard some feedback on the message, a few who were glad I chose the New Living Translation over the NIV yesterday.

  • I really appreciated your choice of translation yesterday. I guess I can't tease Jesse that the verse means he should should go do the dishes... (one of the things he does without complaint to bless me and lighten my load). Hmmm... glad we cleared that up! he he he

    Thank you also to the people who shared about their moms. It was a blessing. I am blessed to have a mom who loves the Lord and taught my sister and I about the Lord since we were little. The older I get the more I realize that I take on her silly quirks, but that is a blessing to me because everytime I do something that used to embarass me, I think about how caring she is. She sees needs in others that no one sees and serves others often seflessly and humbly, without seeking any praise for herself. I praise the Lord for the example that she is of a loving mom and woman of God.
