Meet Sol and Luna

Aww, look at those precious faces. This is from the weekend when it rained. 

Their names have been revealed. 

Meet Sol and Luna.

Yesterday, 21 years ago, Michael passed away -   I spent the day like any other day. Although I was keenly aware of this anniversary, it no longer consumes me. I have come a long way since those years of grief, and I am thankful I am no longer stuck in that dark, difficult place anymore. I do miss him, and I KNOW I will see him again, and that gives me hope. 

Excitement 

Foodie called me yesterday afternoon to inform me that there was a domestic violence incident across the street from his residence. He was present at the scene when it all occurred. A man and woman were engaged in a heated argument over child support. The man then began to threaten the woman and the neighborhood -  the police arrived quickly - and deployed a K-9 unit to flush him out of the bushes -   Then, he threatened suicide.  After the police subdued him, with rubber pellets he was transported to the hospital for a 5150, which is a 3-day hold for a mental evaluation. The woman was crying - he said it was a hot mess. Meanwhile, the very young child was in the house - CPS was there to take the child. 

He has a fairly safe neighborhood - sad that domestic violence can be in any neighborhood. 

The Golden Years

In the last week, it seems all I have heard about are deaths, hospitalizations,  and illnesses. I guess that is the norm as I venture through these "golden years." I better get used to it. A lady in my group lost her husband 2 days ago. We had prayed last week that his passing would be peaceful. I saw her today, and she was incredibly brave.  She said it was a relief due to this lengthy illness. He was a former Pastor who had served for 40 years. She battled breast cancer through all of this. 

Does your church have a name for its senior group? 

Seems churches are trying to be age-sensitive. I'm not offended if they want to call us "seniors." I'm surprised there isn't a church that doesn't call us the Methuselah Fellowship. All this tiptoeing because of our age is silly. Don't they think we already KNOW we're getting older? 

Here are a few "senior groups" around town:

The Classics

Senior Saints

EPIC (Experienced people in Christ) 

Diamond Fellowship (Bethel-Redding) 

Sequoias 

I am excited to have dinner with Navy on Saturday. Apart from that, I do not have anything planned. The temperatures are pumping upwards - they're saying we might hit 100 by Tuesday. Poor Foodie's AC is being replaced. It's been causing him nothing but problems on and off  - they won't be able to get it all installed until next week. So he's without AC!  

Well, he did say, he believes he was born in the wrong generation. hehehehe!

Take Care
