Or is it harsh, oppressive, frantic, vague, and shaming? Not foolproof, but it helps.Dorcashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050605764466835485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-19969984658857205562015-09-16T06:17:49.836-07:002015-09-16T06:17:49.836-07:00So what do you do with "should I clarify this...So what do you do with "should I clarify this or was that the truth or do I need to make this right" thoughts that bombard.

In regards to the play "why the chimes rang", in 1941 our school in Colo. put this play on at Christmas. My little brother, first grade, was the little boy that brought his last penny to the manger and then the chimes rang out. Brought back a sweet memory.

And I am actually organized! But its a season. I will soon be back in Kenya, unpacked, yes I will.thanks for the reminder.
