Day off today. I need it!! It’s cold outside so I’ll xanga travel. Probally play with my super powers on facebook, do a little Oregon trail and fly the skies of YearBook, watch some MASH, a little Star Trek.
I was nominated “Father of the Year”
My daughter Alicia is back from college. She brought two guy friends with her. They didn’t have anyplace to go for spring break. So they came to Yankton.I’m listening to “Beauty from Pain” by Superchick.
I’m reading the last book in the Winslow series. It’s book number 40. (I’ve been reading the series for the past 10 years.) It’ll be like a good friend has moved when I’m finished with this book.
A very disruptive boy gave his heart to Jesus last night. I saw immediate results. He wasn’t angry and he wasn’t disruptive. Many years ago he was our foster boy and now he’s our bus kid.
Our rental house is looking good. It’s being remodeled. It’s our plan to use it as a house of hope for ladies who don’t have any place to go.
If you can ask me any question what would the question be?

you’re humble -I noticed that you slipped that in that you were nominated “Father of the Year” will that be for around father’s day? You deserve it.
I am really not surprised you were nominated father of the year.
AWESOME about helping the homeless ladies!!!! Praise GOD!!!!
That’s really cool that you have been named Father of the year…
Praise God that He enabled that boy to give his heart to Jesus! May the Lord make it real and make it stick.
Praying that your house of hope will be a place of blessing to many!
Sounds like a dream day off to me. Maybe with all the snow we’re getting this weekend I can get a day in like that!
Happy Day Off!
Question?
How long have you been watching MASH?
Just curious. My grandmother used to watch it all day. Every day..
Father of the year, huh? Awesome! Who nominated you “father of the year”? That’s cool that Alicia is in town. I can’t believe they have spring break already…crazy! I love your idea of the house. What a great ministry.
I have read all the Winslow books too! I have read a lot of Gilbert Morris books and have enjoyed every one of them. The Winslow books were my first introduction to him. They have really given me a feel for history!
Yeah, Ritalin makes me hyper, or at least wakes me up which is what it’s supposed to do when mixed with my other medicine.
@AcousticMe24 - Interesting. I didn’t realise that Ritalin did that. My kids take concerta and that calms them down.
@Randy7777 -
Ritalin is supposed to be a downer. Every time I tell people I take Ritalin they don’t believe me because it makes me hyper… I guess when mixed with other medications, some can have a completely opposite effect. Heh, I think it’s interesting.
@AcousticMe24 - Do you then take medicine at night to calm you down and help you sleep?
@Randy7777 -
Well I take my last dosage around 11AM. It wears off around 3 or 4. So usually I’m not too wound up at night.
@AcousticMe24 - That’s good. It must work for you. My kids can’t forget their concerta or it will not be good.
@Randy7777 -
You said it calms them down… do they have ADHD?
@AcousticMe24 - Yes, they have ADHD. I assume that’s what you have also.
@Randy7777 -
No, I have a disorder called Paracusia. I take Trileptal for that at night, which is what makes me sleepy and groggy during the day… which is why I take the Ritalin.
@AcousticMe24 - I haven’t heard of that. I’m glad the medicine works for you. Ridalin must work different with different conditions.
Question?? I would ask you what planet would you like to visit if you could.
