It is Friday and I am getting ready to get on the bus and meet Lennie at his work. From there we will go do our errands at Panzer which is a long bus ride from Kelly Barracks where Lennie works. He is taking the afternoon off so we can go take of business and not waste our week-end with this kind of stuff. Tomorrow we want to go check out the Christmas Market downtown and it is Saturday so it is fresh flowers day and Illy day and whatever else we might decide to do. On Sunday we are going to a festival at one of the old castles so on Monday I will have pixs and maybe some stories?
I woke up this morning to some very sad news. The Senate had passed the Defense Bill and attached the Hate Crimes bill to it. I know some you think this is wonderful but I just call out to God and ask that we shall return to HIM!! I do not hate anyone but I am sorry but I agree with the following. "The final report of the Baptist Union of Western Australia (BUWA) Task Force on Human Sexuality states “that a person becomes a homosexual ultimately by choosing to be involved in same-sex activity… This is in contrast to innate characteristics such as gender and ethnicity.”7 The report affirms that “the Bible is clear that sin involves choice, and it unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior as sin.”7 Hating is wrong and can honestly say I do not hate anyone but I do hate what many people chose to do with their lives. I believe this Bill will bring even more persecution to those who are NOT like minded with the government. That means me for sure a person who wants the world to be a perfect place but I know that will only happen when Jesus comes back. So for right now I will try to love my neighbor as my self and not hate my enemies but pray for them. Now I ask for the same in return...that is what I am concerned about....for some reason I think this will be a one way street! We shall see and I do hope I am wrong. Enough...thanks for letting me vent!
I cannot believe it has been over a month since we met Pete and Sondra in Paris. We had so much fun and I wish we could do it again. I am still waiting on her pixs from their cruise and Rome. It is fun when you find people you enjoy to travel with. Paul and Vicki and Joe and Carol are others we love travel with and hope there are more times for us. Again we are blessed beyond measure.
It has been hard this week and last knowing both of my daughter's have been under the weather and I was so far away from them. A mother's work is never done and when we are sick it makes for a rocky boat. Is not interesting how we all seem to survive but it is just not the same when mom is the one down and sick. I, to this day, cannot forget the love my mom gave me when I was sick. She made me feel so special and I loved having "our" time together. Tea and soup always taste better when made by a mother's hand full of love!
Well, it is about time to get ready for my Frietag adventure. Love to all and I sure do pray Noe will have a blessed day tomorrow. She waited upon the Lord and got her heart's desire!! What a promise we have been given!
Tschuss,
Debby
