I stand rebuke...Thank-you so much for your comment. I stand rebuked and completely agree-that was extremely inconsiderate of me to use that term. One of my biggest weaknesses is speaking before I think (or in this case, writing before I think) and I need to work on that. I really appreciate your honesty in mentioning this.<br />I honestly have no idea what color the man's skin was. To me, skin color matters not in the slightest. "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight" is something my family has always held to and believed very strongly. "White people" are not the only ones with whom I associate-some of my very dearest friends are not "white" and skin color has absolutely nothing to do with my friendships. <br />Thankyou again for taking the time to comment-I really appreciate it!Chelsy Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904782642821446762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-56855408279411074212017-11-30T10:40:00.258-05:002017-11-30T10:40:00.258-05:00The remark "like a teenage bum" makes yo...The remark "like a teenage bum" makes you sound uncharitable and, therefore, un-Christlike. You are not representing our Lord and Savior well with this remark. Did you bother to pray for him or just judge him and shame him on your blog? Did you even bother to thank him? What do you want a bet his skin wasn't white since those seem to be the only people with whom you associate?<br /><br />As a suggestion to improve your writing, show your reader rather than tell your reader. If, for example, you think someone looks like a bum (Heaven forbid anyone not look like middle-class white folk!), you could write something that describes what your senses experience, thereby connecting to your reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-55683134284151705832016-08-06T12:55:23.823-04:002016-08-06T12:55:23.823-04:00Oh darling you are one of the best storytellers I ...Oh darling you are one of the best storytellers I know!

You could definitely fill a book. :) And I love thinking of your expressive voices in moments like these: "I stole a glance at sister. She looked back at me: "Well, what am I supposed to say? How many times do we have to talk about this and how many times does this still have to happen?"" :) And, man, can't get over how ADORABLE that little guy is!!Elizabeth.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15593938706150820634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-25251656537383050032016-08-03T08:29:54.691-04:002016-08-03T08:29:54.691-04:00Such good times! :) Love you two!

I cannot even begin to say how much I enjoy them. Truly, I will start laughing out loud and my siblings will come over begging me to tell them what is so funny. All of your posts are absolutely wonderful, but I must say that the sisterly road trips are my favorites. They make me feel normal. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to write posts and share them with us. You are such an encouragement to me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229492296845916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-90626159386786414672016-07-31T16:36:34.771-04:002016-07-31T16:36:34.771-04:00Oh Chels, this made my day!

And I have been to Manitoba and to Brandon. I love Manitoba. Especially my little spiritual children in the faith who live in Altona, Manitoba! But yes, be aware, one must plan ahead for gas stations! If you love Value Village (my sister lives in Regina, Sask), you REALLY must visit an MCC - a Mennonite thrift store. Where everything is SUPER cheap. Really!!! Go to the one in Altona the day after they restock and you'll buy the store out! happy sister-memory making! love in the Lord, your sister, Amy from western NY. =) PS - while you're in Altona, go to Prairie View Press, where you will buy all the books out because they're all quality reading!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-58030315474655647642016-07-30T17:03:10.052-04:002016-07-30T17:03:10.052-04:00Love it!! the way you tell the story is just great...Love it!! the way you tell the story is just great :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554663469187456177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-57560993119591607552016-07-29T20:32:15.971-04:002016-07-29T20:32:15.971-04:00Love these posts -- and that mantra "life doe...Love these posts -- and that mantra "life doesn't have to be perfect but your outfit can be" -- #YES.Hannah Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632807325116578381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-11327822964672095182016-07-29T17:57:07.746-04:002016-07-29T17:57:07.746-04:00Oh Chelsy.

Makes me miss my baby cousins. :) Also, random tidbit, but I love you Aqua/mint hoodie with the lace at the bottom!
