Speaking of age Pam how is your partner and his wife doing? I don't know why but I was thinking about them the other day.........
Dan and Dolores are two amazing people. They just keep going no matter what. Dan is 67 and Dolores is 73. Dan had a motorcycle accident in 1991, has had several bones broken in his back, has never healed right, is always in pain, now has arthritis and who knows what else all over his body. And still he keeps going.
Dolores has lupus. Also has arthritis. Both knees have been replaced. Also always in pain.
Dan is an ordained minister (yes, one of those "internet" ministers). He pastors a local retirement facility. Dolores provides the music for this ministry, playing piano.
Dan is a dead ringer for Santa Claus. (Ever see smokymountainsanta over in SG? Definitely rivals him.) We have a local theater, Allenberry Playhouse, and Dan and Dolores are their greeters during the holiday season - Santa and Mrs. Claus, of course. Allenberry is also a restaurant, and "pays" Dan and Dolores with foodstuffs, which they see get distributed properly. (These people are tireless!)
More: They are parents to about a dozen senior dogs. I think it's about that number, I've lost track. They've adopted them, and all but one is crippled or blind or deaf or something. They've long since abandoned the hope that they can keep carpet in their house, and they now have laminate flooring throughout. Dan mops the house three times a day. (How much bigger can their hearts get?)
For those who don't know, this is how I fit into all this. Two or three times a month, on Saturday, Dan and I sing, or provide gospel programs, at nursing homes or retirement facilities. We've done this since 1994. In the last few years, Dolores has begun to accompany us and play where there is a piano. Oh, and Dan has begun to do some programs on his own at other places during the week when I'm not available due to (egads!) my working. That's now dedicated he is.
Thank you, Joy, for asking. You gave me the kick I needed to sing the praises of these two amazing people. God is using them to the fullest. And they are such a perfect example of something Dan himself says all the time - "God doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called."

That is a very cool story Pam. A great reminder that all God needs from us is our willingness to step out and He'll give us exactly what is needed to fulfill what He has asked us to do. I think that's what keeps us humble and give all the credit and glory to Him.

I normally don't like most places Greek salad but I am very hooked on this one pizza place's one they have. It's lettuce, beets, feta cheese (only like that in moderation), black olives, little baby corn and artichoke hearts and I prefer it with Ranch dressing...and NO onions. I absolutely love it and just can't seem to have enough.

I like a salad with mushroom, onions, cheese along with the lettuce and tomatoes. And it must be ranch dressing.

This morning on my way in, I was listening to my favorite Christian station, and they were discussing a study that said people who are happy are not successful, lack determination to do well in life, make less money ...... versus people who are successful, i.e., make good money, are determined to further their careers, have more *things*.
As you may well imagine, there were lots and lots of interesting phone calls and discussion! Some people called in with Bible versus, talking about *everything in moderation*. So .........
How do you define success?
How do you define happiness?
Personally, I believe that happiness in life equates to success. As a believer, I know God will see me through anything. He will make sure I have everything that I need. Not necessarily all the stuff I want, but He has always seen to it that my needs are met.
Manna each morning ...... and He loves me so much, there are always little perks (aka blessings) that He throws in just for pure enjoyment!

Morning Sam.........
How do I define success........removing a section of the fence between heaven and earth........and not putting another one up........
Happiness is a cheap imitation of Joy

Remembering the above link was prompted by wfisaac's avatar.
There's some pretty cool things on it.
