I've lost two family members recently and it's make me think of all the good memories I have of them and
death can not take those away. My memories of my brother of course go back as far as my memory goes back. Going places with Daddy when we were kids, school memories and teenage memories. Since we
were close in age we had the same friends. My memories of my brother-in-law are memories of Bill and I going with him and Betty on camping trips and meeting on Friday nights to go out for dinner at Hoot's and going to auctions on Saturday. Those were all fun days and left me with lots of good memories. When I leave, will I leave people with good memories? I hope so.

An Old Woman
How did I get to be an old woman. My husband started calling me that soon after I met him and I just thought it was funny but then I was seventeen. Now I don't like thinking of myself as an old woman. Do I still want to be that dumb teenager I used to be. No I don't think so. I don't want to be a feeble old woman either and I'll never think of myself that way. I don't know what old age will bring but I'm busy holding it at bay.

Temptation
This subject is probably one I should just stay out of but I'm been thinking a lot of why people fall into temptation. Does the devil know what your weakness is and that's what he tempts you about? If you're a poor person, does he tempt you to steal? If you're in a unhappy marriage, does he tempt you to commit adultery. You always have a choice. God's not standing over you with a whip but he gave you the Holy
Spirit and you need to listen. I heard a sermon one time on temptation. The preacher gave the degrees of
temptation and said at the very first thought of temptation is when you should flee. If you get into mire the deeper you get in the harder it is to get out. I guess that's how temptation is and I think the devil does know
your weakness. When I should be reading the bible, I'm reading a novel or I'm on the computer and I
probably should get off of here and be doing something more productive.
