Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's 2017?  It will probably

be Summer before I remember to

write that.  I hope everyone had a

nice Christmas and that this year

will bring you all kinds of great things.

 Robin and I had a wonderful visit.

It was nice having someone around.

A lot less lonely.  B'Elanna loved the

backrubs, too.  Aunt Robin gives the best!

I've had a chance to make some cards.

This card uses two dies that I got with

a gift card my friend got me to Hobby Lobby.

It's a larger card, 4x6, because the corner

die just is too big for the standard size.  There's

no room left to put anything.  I would have

liked to have used green ribbon but all I

had was some thin ribbon and I wasn't

going to go out just to get that.  Or worse,

find something else I couldn't live without!

I am beginning my New Year by stepping

out of the boat and keeping my eyes on Jesus.

I'm going to be facing the congregation this

morning to sign one song, "This I believe"

So if you read this before 1030, pray that I

trust God rather than myself to sign it

well.  I can sign it no problem, but the 

"I believe's" I sometimes mix up.  Once I

make one mistake I tend to panic and

make more.  But if I keep my eyes on

Him I won't sink into the water.  Besides,

I'm not going to be perfect, no one is.

I just need to do my best and once the

first time is over it will get easier.  I

don't think I'm ready to sign all the songs

from one service, though.  Baby steps.

One of the songs we are singing is 

VERY fast!  Even experienced I don't

know how they keep up.

Have a great Sunday and even better New Year!
