Blessings......

Time is flying! I feel like I'm getting done what needs to be done. I keep crossing things off my list but why does it always seem that as I cross things off more piles on!! We have enough luggage now. We are only taking clothing and some toiletries. Our apartment is furnished and whatever we need we'll buy there (oh bummer...shopping the markets of Sicily!). As we go about life in the last couple of weeks before we leave I'm looking at certain things with renewed appreciation. Sunday as we sang praise and worship songs at church a couple tears found their way to the corner of my eye. As far as we know the closest english speaking church is 3 hrs away, definitely not an every Sunday trip. Our church, Alpine Community Church, puts their sermons online at their website each week. (check it out @ alpinechurch.org for some great Bible teaching ) We're grateful for that. Also another huge blessing is Klove radio ( positive and encouraging christian radio). You can listen online at their website. I'm appreciating my dryer as they don't use dryers in Sicily. It will be neat to experience another culture for a few months.
My brother John is here visiting for a day or so on his way to Grand Junction, Co. We're going to walk historic 25th St. today, window shopping. We drove by it yesterday and he thought it looked neat so it'll be a nice way to get some fresh air and exercise. I always enjoy his visits.
I'm grateful for the many blessings in my life......we all have many, we just don't always stop to recognize them.
Thank you for being one of the blessings in our life!
