"The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is." –C.S. Lewis

Hello and welcome to Wednesday, December 10, 2025. We are getting ready to get ready to leave on a field trip over to Louisiana where we will be in studio late this afternoon and at an elementary school tomorrow. We didn't go looking for these venues but they connected to us via word of mouth or in the school situation a distant relative of someone we know. Whatever. We will be gone for a couple of days, hoping to be back home late tomorrow evening. Hoping. The photo above was taken after we returned home from our annual Mims Baptist choir, orchestra, and media team Christmas party. That photo reminded me of one we had taken when we were dating in the early 1960's. Yep. And, you are right. That was a long time ago. (It's funny how younger folks today roll their eyes when you mention anything from way back in the 1900's. Ha!)

We didn't know at the time that red was going to become a very prominent part of our lives. But, that's the way it turned out. I'm pretty sure the only thing I could still wear in that photo would be the socks and shoes. She did, after all, become an excellent cook. She did. And, she still is. I carry the proof in this body of mine.  

I will likely miss a blog or two while we are doing our Santa thing. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much we thank God for His provision and blessings in this season of our lives. He has been good to us even when we did not reciprocate as we should have. Sadly, for me, I identify more with the fellow in the account where he responded to Jesus, "I believe, help my unbelief." (Gospel of Mark, chapter 9, Verse 24) Y'all take care and remember to thank God for all He has done, is doing, and will do in the future. Yep. That includes for me and for you. You can count on it! Amen.
