Moving On

Well, folks. I guess it's pretty obvious that I no longer keep up this blog. I have moved on to bigger and better things: it's called Mobile Me. It's been a great journey with Blogger. Sometimes I miss it. But our Mobile Me account truly has perks with which Blogger can't compete. So it's sayonara to Blogger. It's been grand.

To follow our Mobile Me account, be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed on our new website: web.me.com/dan_simrak.

See you there!

Abigail Riggall

My niece, Abigail Kathryn Riggall - 10 weeks old, is in need of prayer. She is was admitted into CHOP on Saturday with concerns for her limpness/severe weakness and a lack of BM for well over a week. She is currently being treated for Infant Botulism. Only time will tell if this is what she has. As serious and scary as Infant Botulism is, the alternative is far worse. Infant Botulism, if treated properly, is 100% reversible and she could be good as new in about a week. 

You can read the Riggalls blog about it here. 

My "Mobile Me" Blog

I haven't posted here in a while as you can see. When I have found time to sit down at the computer long enough to update a blog, my priority has been the "Mobile Me" site. Bookmark that site for more regular updates. Even if I don't post on the blog, you can still see pictures on the Gallery, as we try to keep that fairly updated for family.

Here's the addy: web.me.com/dan_simrak

Thanks for checking in!

My First Project!

I've been wanting to sew for a long time but I have always been intimidated by it. It seems so easy, but to sit down and learn a sewing machine and find a project that I can do on my own seemed daunting. The other day, I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics with my friend, Becky, and bought some fabric to make some curtains for the winter. Unfortunately, the fabric I bought for the kitchen windows shrunk in the wash, so I couldn't use it for curtains. I love the fabric so I didn't want it to go to waste. It just fit my kitchen table fully-extended, so I decided to make it into a table cloth! This is the finished project.

15

O LORD, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy hill?

He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
and speaks truth in his heart.

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

In his eyes a reprobate is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;

He swears to his own hurt and does not change;

He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things will never be shaken.

I really like this music video (and the lyrics are interesting too), but it's not available to embed, so you'll have to click on the link below to watch it on YouTube. It's worth it.
