While I was Driving, 17: Car License Plates for Quadriplegic and Others

Below's license plate is likely referring to the future, other-worldly  hope of paralyzed, quadriplegic Christian writer, Joni Eareckson Tada.  She also recently got infected with Covid-19 😕

We are the E Family -- and we  certainly love our 2 sons!

The ultimate Physician and healer of our souls -- the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4 )

Joni Eareckson Tada

Author, Joni Earekson Tada

JONI has a birthday (October 15th)! She became permanently permanently paralyzed from a diving accident while a vibrant, active 17-year old. She has never been not-dependent on the kindness and care of others since then.  She also recently had bouts with cancer. Now, she's 71 years old.  Who can bear this kind of Life? What has given Joni hope and sustained her through the years?  No one and nothing but the power of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth in her.  She is looking forward to someday "dancing" up in heaven.

While I was Driving, 15: Embarrasing Gross License Plate

The guy already has a luxurious Lamborghini; what else is he compensating for?  I'd like to know what his wife thought of this too. I would certainly be very uncomfortable riding with him. 

Reminds me of my natural-birth teacher whose license plate read, "KEGEL".  Her teen-aged son refused to drive the car, LoL 😁.

While I was Driving, 14: Christmas Babies & License Plate

1.  I know a baby (my cousin) born on Christmas day.

2. However, another far more important baby whom the entire world remembers on Christmas day is Christ Jesus, the Lord (who in reality was very likely born in the Springtime and not during Wintertime).

Whatever day the Lord Jesus Christ was born, it's His birth (predicted hundreds of years before he was actually born!) that I celebrate at our Christmas parties and on Christmas day. He alone is worthy of my worship.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Matthew 1: 23)

Isaiah wrote the above prophecy in the 8th century BC.
Accurate much?!!

2018 The Year of the Dog

As the year wraps up, here are just a few of our favorite doggy-pup moments:

River listening to Piano music at our home for the very first time in her young life.

Felt perplexed. Not sure what to make of this "noise".

Could not yet get quite as relaxed as her cousin-pups.

met this cute French Bulldog. I want!

Had to say goodbye to the one-and-only, Yoshi. Miss him soooo much!

River's big sis, Luna.  She would like to say hi
to kitty if it weren't for these scary stairs

 our Reckless Janey 'tzu

Smiley Camilla. Just another stray dog like Janey

The nose knows!  Hazel, our baby grandson's guard dog

Come on in!

always!

While I Was Driving,13: All in the Family License Plates

Here are cute license plates we saw recently. Son beyond old-enough, but didn't get his driver's license till recently. Happy yet anxious about this situation as a typical Mom sometimes feels.  Covering him and all of our loved ones in much prayer for safety and watchfulness while operating vehicles, in Jesus' name.

Our car's license plate, hahaha (j/k)

Leaving on a Jet Plane soon (as of this writing), yay!
