Today's Saying
Our thoughts are unseen hands shaping the people we meet. Whatever we truly think them to be, that's what they'll become for us. ~Richard Cowper

Today's Picture
My son Pat

Yesterday my daughter came to me with a problem. She was one of two youth advisors going with the St. Mark’s Youth Group to New Orleans for the National Lutheran Youth Gathering and they wanted to know if they could set up a website where they could tell parents what was happening and post pictures. They each had a laptop and were sure they could get an internet connection. They also wanted the parents to be able to send notes to their children .
To be honest with you I don’t know a great deal about websites. The one I keep for St. Marks doesn’t do half of what she wanted. But this is my only daughter and my Church so I said I would think about it.
The gathering isn’t until next summer and I figured I would have time to research it and work something out. But the more I thought about it the surer I became that I couldn’t do it.
So last night during my regular prayer time I brought the problem to God. While I was praying one word came to me, “blog”. The answer was so simple I would never have thought of it. But God gave me the gift of that Word.
Now I know that some of you who read this blog don’t believe in prayer and some don’t believe in a personal God but please don’t explain to me it was just my sub conscious working overtime. If there is no God then of course that’s what it was. You can believe that if you want to.
I live in a different world than you. In my world the God I believe in is involved in my life. I don’t begrudge you your unbelief don’t begrudge me my belief. The funny thing about miracles or words from God is that it takes faith to see them
So God gave me the perfect solution. They can use the blog as a daily diary complete with pictures and the parents can send notes in the comments. Perfect!
Thank you God.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Yesterday , after school, Tommy UK decided to act on everything he had learned. He grasped the stone in one hand and the coin in the other and willed himself to the place where the coin belonged. Suddenly he found himself deep in a weald that was totally unfamiliar to him. The plants even had leaves whose folioles were different from any plant he had ever seen. In front of him was a small clearing with a big pot gravid with coins. Certainly no paucity of wealth here. He couldn’t figure out how the leprechaun even knew one was missing. Sitting next to the pot was a little man playing what looked like an Irish Zither and singing a song about the apanthropinization of an old Irish hermit.
Tommy walked out into the clearing and said to the little man” by the established rules all these coins are now mine. But if you promise to lift the curse on Nancy and stay out of Pigeon Falls I will return them to you and give you this one extra coin as well.“.
The Leprechaun was not at all happy but seeing no alternative he promised.
Then Tommy told him if he failed to keep his promise he would return and take it all.
With that Tommy threw the coin into the pot and pulled a card from Jack’s Sauna out of his pocket. Now he willed himself to the place from which the card came and suddenly found himself in front of Jack’s.

Wrap UP

A very good breathing day> I wish I could say the snow was going away but it isn't. Today I did some research for future "today's links". There are so many good ones to choose from. I went back to trying to clean up my computer. I visited all twenty blogs that left comments yesterday. Now I need a breathing treatment.
