My sympathies also, as we have gone through two very large moves since I retired from US naval service in 1991, the first downsizing our available space by 1/3, the second downsizing by 40%. Both moves involved substantial culling and the latter one, just over two years ago, is still not complete as far as culling goes. But it does seem to get a bit easier the more one culls.<BR/><BR/>God's blessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346296.post-4143642502422246612007-07-08T12:29:00.000-04:002007-07-08T12:29:00.000-04:00You and Brenda have been in my thoughts and prayer...You and Brenda have been in my thoughts and prayers often as these deep days in Stockton draw to a close. As Ann wrote, may you and Brenda continually feel centered, easily make wise decisions both large and small, and sleep well every night.<BR/><BR/>Again, the benediction I first heard from Johm Claypoole:<BR/>Go in peace<BR/>And as you are going, know this:<BR/>By the grace of God you were brought into this world.<BR/>By the mercy of God you have been sustained to this very moment.<BR/>And by the love of God, fully revealed in Jesus the Christ,<BR/>You are being redeemed, now and forevermore. Amen.<BR/><BR/>If ya'll discover the secret of culling without regret, please let me know what it is!<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you both!

If you are in Rock Springs on a Sunday we can put you to work!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287169546184325690noreply@blogger.com
