Happy September!

Can it really be September already? Why is it that winter drags on forever but summer is here and gone before you realize it???

Anyway. . . my sermon for today is on Why-can't-things-last-like-they-used-to?

I have an alarm clock, quality brand, it was never dropped or abused. It still keeps good time but the alarm stopped working. My first thought was the battery needed to be changed. It wasn't a battery issue! I don't remember how long I've had it but definitely less than ten years.

So now I'm in the market for a new alarm clock. In the meantime, I'm fortunate that I seem to wake up at the same time everyday. And if that fails, there is always my Labrador Retriever, Molly, who sleeps on the floor next to my bed and believes it is her duty not to let me sleep too long! Nothing like waking up being slapped by a Black Lab or feel a cold nose on your hand or face, followed by a big wet tongue and hearing a tail wag!
