2 Peter 1:3-11

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

¹⁰ Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, ¹¹ and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

You know you’ve heard the old saying, when life gives you lemons make lemonade.   It seems lately I’ve had a lot of lemons thrown at me.  Of course, it didn’t help that Steven was out of school for so long.  Between Christmas break and then all the snow he was off a long time.  Right now he does not have an aide on the van and I’m not all that happy about it.  Hopefully in the next day or so we have someone starting.  I don’t know if people are scared of my son where they just don’t wanna go so far, but the district couldn't find anyone to do it.  I found a person that would do it.  Then there has been the loss that has touched so many lives.  Last week we had to say goodbye to wonderful man.  It was an unexpected loss, but God was obviously ready for his company.  I could go on a rant concerning this situation.  But I have a feeling that the people that really need to see the rant won’t.  So I will save the rest of you from hearing it.

My brother in law was also placed in ICU.  He has been having trouble with his lungs and a blood infection.  Thankfully he is doing better.  To those who have been praying thank you and I ask that you continue to pray for him.  With God’s help you should be out of intensive care soon.

I sit here talking this blog out as the cats run throughout the house.  I’m not sure what has gotten into George and Callie right now, but they think they’re kittens.  I have often considered buying the product I see on TV that lets you talk to your computer and it types it out.   Then I found an out that you don’t need a special program most computers can do it using word.  I have also been able to use it on several sites on the Internet.  With the way in my wrists have been hurting, I hadn’t wanted to do much blogging.  So hopefully I can get back into it.

Take care and God bless,
