Daily Journal - Monday 3/06/06
Up above is the
page for March 6.  
I could hardly
believe it when I
started reading it!
Andrew & Jarrett's candles and a few "orbs" on March 5, 2006
The view out my kitchen window on March 6, 2006
As I was driving to Malta this morning, I got stopped by a
train in DeKalb.  The sign reads:  STOP ON TRACKS  (I didn't.)
Here's Bob with  their new poodle, Rusty.  They got him in
September.  Very good natured - never heard him bark once.
Here's Bob and Joan's puppy - Rusty the poodle.  He is so
sweet.  And he loves to play with his toys.
Joan told me that whenever they leave the house, Rusty sits
on the sofa and looks out the window.  As I was leaving
today, I looked up, and there he was sitting and watching
me.  Of course, I had to get out of the car, step in the snow
and take a picture!!  
later Monday (3/6) - This morning, I went over to visit Joan and Judy.  Bob was back from delivering 4 or 5 loads of gasoline. It
snowed on my way over there (2nd picture down on the left).  The first picture was taken last night.  It had stopped snowing, so I went
outside to take a picture of the boys' candles and THAT is what I got!!!  It's ORB CITY out there!  (kitchen picture this morning.)

Medical report:  Joan is doing much better.  She's still recuperating from her shoulder surgery.  Judy is taking the most excellent care
of her!  She has a really neat ice pack cooler thing that helps keep the swelling down.  I talked to Ron last night and Liz is going to try
and get to the orthopedic surgeon before Wednesday with her broken finger!  If you are in our family, chances are you're going to seek
medical care some time in the near future.  If past events predict the future...

Bob and I are going to the Compassionate Friends meeting tonight.  We found out that Rob Anderson is going to be there speaking
so that's always a good thing.  We like him a lot.  He's very compassionate!  Better go.  see ya later, djb
Monday, March 6, 2006 - Most every day, I read a book of prayers and
positive thoughts that was written by a lady named Betty Eadie.  She
died for a short time and then was revived but in the meantime, she
went to heaven and saw Jesus.  Obviously, it wasn't her time to leave
the earth, so she returned.

For some reason, I'm drawn to the stories of people who have died
and then came back.  They absolutely fascinate me.  I know the reason
- because I always wonder who, what, why, where...  Why can't I see my
children????  WHERE are they exactly??  Not just some amorphous
destination.  I'd like the exact coordinates, please.  

I DO NOT ever try to convince anyone to believe what I do.  How can
they?  I have my own path.  To my way of thinking, that's what Jesus
meant when he said not to JUDGE others - that's God's job.  That's one
of my big deals.  I have a huge problem with judging other people and
their actions.  I suppose once I figure that out, I can die.  It seems like
I'll be living a long time!  

One of the other problems that keeps coming up is the extreme
uncomfortable feelings people have toward death.  Fact is:  we are all
going to die.  I think people associate death with pain because it
always seems to occur after a grave illness and horrendous accidents.
 To my way of thinking, living is harder.

I'm no expert on anything.  I do want to be an expert.  You know when
they have the disasters and they call in an EXPERT.  I totally love that.  
One time, I told Bob, "I'd like to be an expert."  He informed me that I
would have to know more about one subject than anyone else.  
(ponder that idea) hmmmm  I'm still working on that one.

Must go.  I may be involved in an adventure today.  We'll see how that
works out.  Plus, I have a few great SNOW pictures to put in here but I
have to shrink them first.  see ya later, djb
