Hi Friends; Back home last evening from a long week-end in Phoenix. We attended a banquet/info session for the MJ Fox Research group which is at Boswell/Bannner Research Institute in Sun City, AZ. They are a wonderful group of folk who monitor Parkinson's Progression of their clients. Spent time with Ken and Donna - precious friends, and got to see Kath and Alex too. It was good to have a change/rest. Now we are back to home, Missy and work to be accomplished. Gratitude to Donna and Kenny for a warm and loving place to spend the week-end! We have a group for Women going through The Journey on September 6th. Looking forward to continued learning and growing with a precious group of ladies! We are busy working on video updating, and preparation. Newsletter to go out soon - like tomorrow. Little changes in routine and location are like mini-vacations - good for the soul. It's always great to get home again after a trip, and back into familiar routine. We discover however as we age, that it's too easy to be in routine, and not want to leave it - and that bogs us down. So we have decided to take "little vacations" whenever we can - even if they are a few hours long and only go as far as the next town. They change our view and outlook. Now I must unpack from our last little "vacation." Back to Home Page

  1. Hello, dear friends: You are only away from us for a few days and we miss you...your warm hearts, bread and laughter!
    Hope you get this blog as I do send them.
    From the lovely little book you gave me by Ellen White: "Steps to Christ."
    "How important that we speak only those things to others that will give spiritual strength and life!" You two give us this and we know the glass if always half full.
    Also:From John 14:27;15:11
    " The Lor would have all His sons and daughters happy, peaceful, and obedient. Jesus says, "My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your HEART be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
    So: I make an effort to bring only peaceful acts and kind words from this body and soul today. Their is so much softness in being with a dear freind and not saying anything or doing anything. That way your hearts can be heard beating with joy, peace and faith.
    Love to you both!
    Alex and Kathleen
