You Tube Debate

The Republican GOP debate was last night. After some uncertainty, I was able to gather together a few people, and we enjoyed watching, discussing and laughing at the GOP candidates.
A few things I gathered from the debate. Romney is rather touchy. He came across as edgy and not able to control his emotions. Rather frightening in [...]

Wi-Fi Yippy!

My internet habit is now enabled! Hurrah!
Yes, that’s right, today for the first time, my house has internet. I expect you have wondered how I have been active online without this connection. True, IHOP has free wireless, but as I generally only pray and study with my computer there, other activities such as surfing the [...]

Fall Colors!

I wish I could have taken a picture for you all of my walk to IHOP today. It was glorious. I had a cup of coffee in my hand.
