Superbowl Sunday at Brookdale

I am pleased to report that Elaine and I worked late last night and finished putting together the jigsaw puzzle that she started on a few days ago. It measures 23 by 29 inches and contains 530 pieces. The "irregular" shaped border added to the challenge. We still think there may be a piece or two missing from the top of the church steeple. We knew there was another piece missing last night until Elaine got down and found it under the table. This is the first time I've got involved in helping and must say that we enjoyed working together on the project. I don't know how many hours we spent and expect either one of us would have given up along the way had we been working alone. It was fun.

With the temperature in the low single digits, the wind blowing and snowflakes in the air, we didn't even think of going out to Church this morning. I have started watching Rev. James Keck from First  Plymouth Church in Lincoln at 9:00am on Sunday mornings on our Channel 9 Fox station from Omaha. He is a very forceful speaker and emphasised the need for "Love" to receive some of the emphasis that our society places on "intellect". This afternoon we had a 2:30pm worship service here in Brookdale with Rev. Pam Williams officating. Rev. Williams serves the Episcopal church here in Seward as well as the United Church of Christ church in Goehner where she lives. We have known she and her family for many years and have seen her progress in her committment  and studies to reach her goal.
