Can Hardly Wait

The prospects of The Ol' Swimming Hole filling up look much improved as the snow continues to fall. The Reinhold kids can hardly wait, as seen in this fun picture from this afternoon. Weather report... Snow falling at the rate of an inch an hour and temperature at 15 degrees. (Must be the Scandinavian bloodlines)

In May of 1991 God was making it quite obvious that Robin Paulton would be "that special someone" In December 1991 we were married and that is why I get to be part of that special Fourth of July family gathering at Jack and Ellen Paulton's place. As I was writing this, a special song came through our playlist. One of the few country songs in the list. Alabama sang a song back then that we had sung at our wedding reception. It is still true today. LBR

FOREVER IS AS FAR AS I'LL GO
I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

We had a little rain and Julia and Kiersten love rain coats and umbrellas. This region is extremely dry.
Join us in prayer to The Almigty in complete dependence for rain. The earth groans under the weight of sin... "God, please restore some fruitfulness to this parched land."

WHAT IS TRUTH

View fullsize

You find it so dark in the shadows of the bright new day
Standing at the doorway do you go in or run away
You have learned and have no answers along life’s dusty road
You have packed all the important stuff and now are trapped beneath the load.

All the new beginnings have been given to someone to boot
The helping hand is slippery and is a shallow root.
You’re as free as the wind till the storm has blown you around.
You are ready to bask in the sun’s warm rays, but it too has gone down.

What is truth; Can one color, stretch or twist?
Can it only be half there and the other part be missed.
Jesus said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”
This is something you should claim and live, I know it works for me.
