Daley Ponderings

I had just told my friend yesterday that I was getting discouraged about signing because Jonathan was not doing any except for an isolated sign here and there. Then today, he distinctly signed for "milk" several times! The first time, he was cranky and I asked him what he needed. I said, "do... (More)

People at work have finally gotten sick of the lack of support from our IT department. Their FTP site was not operable the other day, and a sales guy needed to get some files for a meeting, so R&D purchased its own FTP site so we would be able to manage it, rather than depend on IT to get it...

There is a spot of wall on the landing of our basement stairs that has been getting soggier as the summer progresses. We've had lots of rain, and every time it rained hard enough, the spot would be damp. I finally called someone who advertised in the Pennysaver and he came this afternoon.... (More)

Speakeasy is my DSL provider. Snurgle.org also uses them, so that is how I heard about them. We have been using them for a year or so, and the ten times or so that I had to open a customer support ticket, it has gone quite well, and fairly fast response time (within a couple of days at the...

Charles Finney isn't all that popular at my church , so hopefully I don't get kicked out for reading this (:, but I finally got around to starting to read Lecture Notes on Theology by Finney this morning, when I woke up early due to a cold. I have only read the first couple of pages, but... (More)

Wake up at 3AM because you can't sleep. Notice that the shower has not drained from the day before. Plunge the tub to force the water through the slow drain. Eat breakfast and decide that now is as good a time as any. Start ripping up the floor at 4:30AM. Stop to go to church (try to... (More)

Bernie says our car is dead. He can't figure out what is going on. He thought maybe the dealership might know something, but he didn't have a lot of hope. I have heard that a 1988 Dodge Caravan was/is a really good car, and should last a long time. I do see lots of them around Pittsburgh.... (More)

I finally found out what the meeting tomorrow for Judy is about. I thought it was some sort of hearing, but it turns out it is just a silly formality, where each charge is read in front of Judy, and then she pleads whatever to each charge, and then is done. So, I imagine not very... (More)

Heather and I have wanted to put scripture on the wall for a while, and we finally got around to doing it, and finished one of the walls today.   (More)

Judy was finally released tonight, yay! Prayer requests: Praise for Judy, God is amazing, and I continually hear reports of her faith, God's grace and strength in her life. For our family, particularly patience and peace-filled thoughts For the " Friends of Judy ", in their fund-raising... (More)

Born: November 18th, 2003 -- 6:20AM Not much here yet, will get around to that hopefully soon (where "soon" means sometime before he is 20). Here are some pictures to start! (More)

The coroner finally called today, to let us know that a date has been scheduled for the "findings" of whether a trial is recommended or not. Next Friday at 10:30AM. Prayer requests: Continued prayers for us to trust God's guidance in our lives, and for our faith as we seek Him. (More)

Copyright ©2003 Linda Wightman When they put the sugar back into baby food, I should have known it was a bad sign. Progress is often a tidal creek, not a river. Advancement is not inevitable. We gain in one era, or in one area, and lose in another.... (More)

We are continually amazed at how God has prepared us for this time. Sometimes we just sit back and laugh, at how God has taught us various scripture over the last couple of months, and while they had some meaning then, were really meant for now. And how He gave them to various people to share... (More)
