Last Tuesday....

Happy Tuesday to everyone!  Has your week begun in a good way?

If you have been following this blog for awhile, you know that I am involved with the United Methodist Women - in my local church, in the district, and in the conference.  Last Tuesday was the day for the first General Meeting for my local church for this year.  It was the meeting for emphasis  on Call to Prayer and Self-Denial.  As has been customary, those attending shared a soup lunch together.

Pasta with spinach.

Potato Soup.

Crackers and water were our accompaniments, and there was no dessert. 

I had been asked to present a book review for the program.

From the 2013 reading list.

There are five categories in the Reading Program - Nurturing for Community, Education for Missions, Spiritual Growth, Social Action, and Leadership Development.  A Country for All is listed in the Nurturing for Community category.  UMW members are encouraged to participate in the Reading Program, keep a record of what books are read (at least one from each category), and receive appropriate credit.  With the in-depth review that I gave, members present are able now to count this as one of their books for this year.

We had an official high temperature here yesterday of 65 degrees, and there was some rain last night.  That may have erased any signs of snow that were lingering.  Some of you are still buried in snow, with more on the way!  Surely spring will come soon for you!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
