The Travel Life



(A poem by Daughter #1)

Don't have a home
'Til nine days ends,
Play with relatives
And make new friends.

McDonald's for lunch
Every day,
Fries and a shake
And a yogurt parfait

In the car
For a million hours,
No time to stop
And smell the flowers.

The "Travel Life"
Can be fun,
But we'll be glad
When the trip is done.



(Not our Swedish wagon, but it might as well be. See? No "Check break light." Hubby fixed it! Now, we have to figure out what's wrong with our GPS. Let's just say we had a few "adventures" out there on the road.

But, all in all, so far, so fun!)

D#1 is such a smartie. She is gifted in writing...not unlike her mom.

Have fun, be safe.

Coffee date when you get home!

Talent must run in the family. What a great poem!!

Be Safe!

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
