A Little Something from Me

I see that I have neglected to post an entry here in quite some time..but I am here to remedy that situation..Don't have a clue what to put out there for all of you, but somehow I have confidence that it will be something...either relevant or irrelevant..depending on the reader!
Work went smooth today and the day went fast...busy, busy, busy..and sometimes that is good, but today it was exhausting and I was glad to see four o'clock roll around so I could hand my duties over to the next person.
I made a visit to my brother's house tonight to see what treasures he brought back from his trip to Africa..he went there to install telephone wiring for the Wycliffe Bible Translators..he has been a part of their mission for several years now and has done work in Orlando, Florida..which has allowed him to escape Illinois winters for several years now. This trip to Mozambique was just for a couple weeks..but I am sure it was much more exciting than the winter stay in Orlando...some of the pictures he took over there were great...scenery and especially some of the shots he got of the people. He brought back some really nice things...a bongo drum...giraffes carved from some sort of wood..an eagle carved from soapstone...and another figure carved from stone of some sort...and a camp stool with a triangular leather seat with a giraffe on it..I am beginning to think that the giraffe is the national emblem over there!...He actually got a picture of a real one on a safari he took while there...not a hunting safari...the only shots he took were with his camera! It is a beautiful country and I am sure if he gets the opportunity he will go back someday!
My little chubby friend, Josie, is huddled as close as she can get to me on the couch and I do not see Kramer..he is most likely behind the couch..a favorite spot for him...guess he likes his own space! It is about time for Jose to get home from work..they will both come alive when they hear him....they are always happy to see him and sometimes he brings them a little treat from work and of course they are all for that..anything concerning food will get Josie's attention in a hurry!
I will close with a thought for all of you from a woman who never knew the gift of sight but was so very insightful..Helen Keller said this..."I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower-the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence." To me, that is a true revelation of faith!
