Good Morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I want to thank Pete and Eric for their help.  This weekend we removed the tree from the backyard and we put down new hardwood floor in the hall and family room.  They worked hard and it all looks wonderful.  We have a bit of trim to put up and some paint to touch up, but a project well done.  Carol returned safely last night, I really miss her when she is away.  Great week ahead, enjoy today!

Please keep Carole Bierbower in your prayers, her sister Mary Jacobs passed away.  Services are today.

“Now the whole earth had one language and the same word.”  Genesis 11:1

I can’t help but think about the Coke commercial proclaiming they want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.  The earth with one language, hmm.  Indeed something to ponder.  In fact we hear that they had the same word.  I am not really clear on this passage, certainly there are lots of commentator that weigh in.  I think that for me it speaks to the human propensity to do it ourselves, not seeking God.  We turn to each other, when the only one that can really help is God. When will we learn?  Are we doomed to be forever confused?  Time will tell.  A message for today!

Yesterday’s question: What prophet of Moab had a talking donkey?  Balaam    Virginia West is our winner today!
