September 13, 2022 Some of you may have seen my post on Sunday about “Mom” (my mother-in-law) passing away that day… her obituary is below. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Juanita J. Carmichael February 12, 1933 – September 11, 2022 Juanita Jane Carmichael, 89, went to her heavenly home Sunday, September 11, 2022, at Diversicare of Hutchinson. She was born February 12, 1933, in Montezuma, KS, to Amos Robert and Hazel Nadine (French) Jantz. Juanita graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1951, and Salt City Business College. She worked as a lead in the seat installation department for Collins Industries. Juanita’s faith and family were vital in her life. She had no time for hobbies, as Juanita was always taking care of her family and friends with…
In the arms of Jesus
September 11, 2022 My mother-in-law – Jerry’s stepmom – passed away peacefully this morning at 7:57 a.m. There was a look of great joy on her face as Jesus welcomed her home. Juanita Jane (Jantz) (Borntrager) Carmichael, 1933-2022 (age 89). Rest in peace, Mom. 💕 🙏🏻 This blog uses COMMENT MODERATION.

Waiting
September 10, 2022 This ‘n that In the past 24 hours, we’ve gone from 95° all the way down to a high of 60° today. It’s been like October! A cold front came through overnight and brought rain to most of the northern and eastern parts of Kansas. We’ve had maybe 5 big rain drops from the sky, but it’s been soooo nice to have the window wide open for fresh, cool air. It has turned misty outside in the past few minutes, but nothing that’s going to help our drought… there is clearing out west so it’s about over. We’d been impatiently waiting for a surgical dental appointment for Aero since mid-August. There are no dentists here who will treat children under seven, so…
Almost wordless Wednesday
September 7, 2022 Found this little piece of sweetness when I got back after taking Kara home on Saturday from our day together doing artwork…. I sure love my grandkids. 💕 This blog uses COMMENT MODERATION.

Life since May and other things
September 4, 2022 Yes, there are photos in this post, they’re just a ways down. 😊 How to lead in to this first part I need to make clear… well, I guess just say it, Diana. Do not presume to tell me how to live my faith or my life. You do not know me as others do in person, in real life. You cannot even begin to fathom how deep my relationship is with the Lord. Along that same line, if I want to record both the good and the hard times in my life, you have no right to tell me how to handle it, make it better, or live it. Don’t tell me that it must be because I don’t believe in…
Almost
August 19, 2022 I’ve decided to stay on “Jesus leave” a couple more weeks. This is not something I’m doing for me… it’s doing things for other people. Because I can. And because God requires it of us. “Genuine love for God expresses itself through service (1 Corinthians 13:1–13). Jesus Christ, our example, was the ultimate servant (Matthew 20:28). Serving God is not a forced obligation but a free, natural, and joy-filled response to the love God has lavished on us (1 John 4:9–11). Love serves, not as a servant, but as someone who loves God and observes His commands to go out into the world and do His work as a witness to Him and His great love and grace for us.” I’ll be…
