It has been a rough ten days weather wise around Central Kentucky. I think school was called off all of last week and we are just trying to get back into some semblance of a routine this week. It worked out well for me, as I had graphed out Mark Joseph's baby quilt, so all of that snowed in time was spent on cutting and sewing fabrics into my first quilt creation in many a year. It's almost ready to start the quilting, as soon as I add one little applique piece to the quilt top.
Church has been cancelled for the little country church, where I attend the past two Sundays, but as Mark reported, with the help of many, our parking lot may finally be cleared and I'm hoping for the opportunity to worship in church this coming Sunday. The Daniel Bible study has also been on hold, as our BSF class, studying Moses was also cancelled last week. Thankfully, we got caught up this week and I am so amazed at Moses, Aaron, Joshua and especially Caleb as the Israelites began their years of wandering in the desert. I had read Numbers before, but this time it really was striking to realize that out of the over 600,000 Israelite men who were with Moses when they left Egypt, only the faithful and courageous Caleb and Joshua would live to obtain the land of milk and honey that had been promised by God. I find all of this Old Testament study extremely fascinating, and so faithbuilding, as well.
Little Mark Joseph has already hit the six week mark and his parents are looking into the future aspect of daycares available to him. Because the facility that seemed to be the best fit for them, has a long waiting list, I'm going to be given the opportunity to watch him a lot during his first year. If I remember correctly, they don't run around too much the first twelve months.
My family continues to be blessed this year as we celebrated my dad's 89th birthday with a family dinner at Cracker Barrell. Everyone had fun passing little MJ around the table as we all enjoyed his squeaks and facial expressions.
After record breaking cold and snow accumulations, I think we are all looking forward to Spring, which is just about several weeks away. I'm going to try something new this year, by planting vegetable seeds indoors. I need lots of advice in that department as my vegetable garden seems to produce less and less with each passing year. Our church may even attempt a community garden this year, as our new pastor, Evan has gained experience this past year in helping with such a garden near Wilmore.
And do you feel the excitement in our commonwealth as we near the mad month of March? It is so awesome that we have a UK team of exceptional young men, who also seem to have a knack for roundball. We in the BBN are having a hard time controlling our united utopia as we root for our Wildcats and pray that they continue to play their best and maintain their admirable , everyday qualities as students, while they muddle through this throng to come that we call March Madness. I learned yesterday that the Paris Greyhounds are still in the hunt for their district championship, so I better get busy making phone calls, in case I'm needed at the next game.
As always, I wish you many blessings today and everyday. Stay warm and safe as we look forward to the most important time of the year. luv, Susan
