A Verse to Live by

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength;
but with the trial he will also
provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."
1 Cor 10:13

Shamed

So, a friend has given me a gentle reminder that regularly posting to the blog is still a good thing -- for me mentally and, apparently, for those of you who care about me and are wondering: whazzup?!

Here's the dish: Work has been all consuming since my quick jaunt to George and Martha's place in mid-May. I'm not complaining about being so busy especially as I strongly believe in the mission of JobsOhio and have deep affection for the people with whom I work. However, I'm not sure that the long hours and accompanying stress are exactly compatible with long-term good health -- not that there's anything amiss with me other than not getting enough sleep. It just makes me wonder if last year's challenge and the life losses I've experienced aren't together suggesting it's neither "living to work" nor working to live," but simply "living to live." don't know if that makes any sense, but those thoughts perhaps played into what I did a week ago Saturday ...

My gal pal Susie from the Div. of Wildlife and I got an early morning start and, with Sedona in tow, headed for Sugarcreek, which is about 30 miles south of Massillon in northeast Ohio. The object of our quest? To visit the manufacturing facility of the Little Guy Teardrop Trailer. I've been mulling over getting one of these things for about two years, but had never seen one up close let along been inside one. The short of it is, I'm thinking it's not if I buy one, but when I buy one of these Amish-made gems!

This teardrop trailer is called a Silver Shadow 6x10. From the ground
to the top of the trailer it is 63"  Just perfect for me and Dona! :)

Laura, your friend is a good friend. Wise and persuasive. I'm glad to see you are back to writing (I hope!) and I really hope you will keep a balance in your life--work, REST, worship, and PLAY! I love the little trailer plan! That will be wonderful for you!
Love you lots, and ((HUGS)) !!

Get one! Joe and I bought a Camp Inn (made by a really small company in Wisconsin) a few years ago, and we love it! The dogs fit in it well, and they love "their" big bed - we have to wind ourselves around them. Ours is also hand crafted and beautiful inside - everything has a place, and no space is wasted. If you want to compare models, come see ours - or if we are down your way, we can show you!
