February 2, 2014 Sunday February!

James chapter 4 - It is a short book.  The reading today was about not being judgmental, sure it was written just for me this morning.  Gotta quit watching those Sunday morning talk shows. "There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy.  But you - who are you to judge your neighbor?'  Anybody else see themselves in this?


2004 - On this day, my boss's son used to be involved with the Wertz Warriors and the good works they did for Special Olympics.  At this time of year they always do a snowmobile run up north, through a lot of communities.  They take donations from people and it really makes a difference for a special group of people. The ride ends, I think, near Traverse City with a big party for the Special Olympians, who get rides on snowmobiles.  It is certainly a worthwhile cause, if you get a chance support them if you can.


Parenting - My brother David, was never high functioning enough to enjoy any activity like this.  He could neither participate in any sport activities or even watch others.  It is a special life to be involved with a child with special needs.  It is both enriching and heart breaking for families that are faced with this.  Fortunately, their are organizations and help available to make life easier for child, parent and family.


Book club - My Antonia -  Life was very different on the plains back in the 1800's.  If a girl got pregnant without being married, her life was pretty much over and the child had a rocky future ahead.  Now a days, it is much different.  Ever see the birth announcements in the paper?  I think half of the parents are not married, some just list the mother, some list both parents names.  I am not making judgment, I know a lot of children being raised in single parent homes.  It is a different time.


Wyoming - Jackson Hole -  Here is where its at if you are driving there;

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
