Wow...I can't believe it has been so long since I posted.
I guess my daughter is right - I shouldn't complain about her blog if I don't do anything in my own.

Researching franchise opportunities again tonight after spending a day in Amish country with my visiting parents and realizing that maybe there is a life outside of the one I currently lead. If I have to work hard, I should be doing something that will connect me to the community and make me happy at the same time.
If only I knew whether it would pay my bills...that's the tricky part.

It is really wonderful to have my parents here - I am schlepping them everywhere. I think they are pretty worn out after only two days with me *g*.

Lancaster County feels like slipping into another world. The time stands still when you see the Amish men and women working their farms and riding in their buggies.
Are they happier than we are with all our education and high-paying jobs that take us around the world?
How I wish I had insights into their minds!

Can't wait to go to church on Sunday - since I missed last Sunday due to my trip to New Orleans, I feel like I have been completely out of touch.
I miss singing praises to my King.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Peace to all of you in Christ,
Elke
