He has been called home.....

My father has been called home to the streets of gold.

No more pain

No more worry

Jesus has prepared a special place for believers in heaven and my father is there with others who welcome him.

My visit last weekend - thank you Lord for making him aware I was there. It was sad to say Good Bye - But I know what is ahead of him and I know he will be dancing in the streets of gold with his sister, brother and father.

At our wedding in 2003.

Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. I lost my father 9 years ago. He had Alzehimer's, so he didn't even remember me by the time he passed away. I had so many mixed feelings when he died.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, yet also happy that he is now with our loving God. I know this time is difficult for those left behind, my dad died not quite 2 years ago. I am glad you were able to make it for the visit. Our prayers for peace are with your family.

Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit.

To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
