After moving what?

I moved out of the house in Vanderwagen, NM I’d been in for over six years and that was in June. I was expected to be out by July 1st. The family that was going to move in changed their minds and now he wondered if I wanted to move back? I said of course not. At my age I shouldn’t be moving any more. He said things just changed for him. That sure did sting. Knowing I could have stayed in the house I loved and even painted and made look really nice and then they changed their minds. So I’ve already moved into the newer house. Even though the water isn’t that good and I can’t grow as much grass there, it’s still a better constructed house. Actually it is a mobile home but on a foundation. I am too tired still and don’t want to leave for a long time yet. I will try to put in a garden next year if I can that is. The landlord seems pretty concerned that we don’t use too much of the water. Guess I’ll be doing some xeriscape kind of landscaping. I want to put in a patio out there and a few trees if it’s ok. I miss the trees and the grass that was at the other place.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s

NOT SO KEEN HALLOWEEN

Halloween is not really a holiday It’s more like our countries malady. It gives credit to witches and devils. Too much that’s sinister and evil. Take a look at its very beginning Are you afraid you’d be sinning? To bring to light Satan’s one desire but he will end up in hell’s hot fire. God says to love only Him above all the idols, the orange décor in the hall. It gives Him no glory can’t you see? Wearing masks won’t set you free. Satan calls this day his sacred one, telling children to play and have fun, to dress like his demons and death for fear of losing their very breath. Why does America make such a fuss over witches and skeleton’s ugliness, to make it a bigger day than Easter? It should bring us shame each year. So what should Christians try to do? The Truth has set us free. Has He you? Celebrate Jesus. He gave us salvation. Lift Him up, not our true enemy Satan. Whatever you decide on this dark night, glorify God in the earth, in men’s sight. We are not of this world. God is
