6/16/2024 1 Comment Wyoming - Shoot! Prov 5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Another state that is cowboy country. They are famous for their rodeos; however, to me, Wyoming is Old Faithful! Outside of driving through Wyoming my main memories of that place is the Yellowstone National Park, where we got to see Old Faithful blow several times. When Dad took me there as a child this famous geyser was faithfully shooting fountains of water straight up “to the heavens” or so my child’s mind deemed it. (I looked it up and it says 106-185 feet is the eruption height.) We got there just in time to see it; we walked, hiked and returned 60 minutes later to see it blow again….and 60 minutes later again. It seemed like a miracle to me; Moses only got the Red Sea to part once. God was making this boiling fountain shoot off every hour. I was absolutely fascinated by it. Of course, there are many dude ranches if people are into that type of thing, as well as the rodeos, to give you an idea of what the country life is like (for a tourist). It’s more mundane when you actually live on a ranch/farm and have to battle the seasons. Again, the mountains are a mainstay for Wyoming tourism. This state doesn’t have as much flatland as Montana, so prepare to go up and down as you drive through it – and don’t forget to see Old Faithful. Over 150 years, and it’s still blowing!

What a week! As a teacher on a Hutterite colony for grade 5-12, life is non-stop from 9:00-3:30. This coming Friday is the end of quarter, so report cards will be due. So that always makes one extra busy.
But I had 2 highlights in this week. The first: I came home and stumbled over something on my step. When I picked it up and entered, I found out I was holding MY copy of my book! I felt like a mother receiving her first child. The awe and wonder of holding something I'd created and labored over for - yes, about nine months- well, that is quite the feeling. The second: Last night the doorbell rang. I answered and a man stood there with a floral arrangement. I was sure he'd come to the wrong house, but he had the right name. Imagine my amazement when I saw that friends from the States had arranged these lovely roses to be delivered to celebrate this milestone in my life. In today's Covid restrictions, such a thoughtful, kind gesture means SO much! I never get flowers, so I'm still just smiling over it. |

How many of you make New Year's Resolutions? How many of you don't because you know you won't keep them?
As I look at 2021 and wonder what this year will bring, I've decided to try a couple resolutions.
A poet once said, "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." I feel that can be applied to resolutions too. As I start this year as a new author, I'm scrambling to figure out what I'm doing! This has definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone. I've asked the Lord, "What have I done? Am I stepping off this cliff to float or fly?"
So my New Year's Resolution is to have a website and put a blog on it. Will this last? It will be interesting to look back in December 2021 to see what has happened here! Tech stuff is NOT my thing. But as a teacher, I always tell my students, "Just try. You never know what might happen." So how can I do less than I preach? I will try this. No guarantees, but I've made a start! Happy New Year to you all!
