Together Again!

Peace like a River

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

H. G. Spafford

Bream

Larry is catching bream every few days. They are really good pan fried.

Book Review

The other Betty is always telling about what she is reading.  I got this book today

at the local Library. I requested it. It is about maternal DNA.  I have only read one

chapter, but it is so interesting.  Bryan Sykes wrote the book.  He is a professor at

Oxford and we come from the same old Mother!!  I want to read more but it is my

bedtime.  I am sure Helen will request this book when she gets back to Gilbert, AZ.

All The Way to the Bluff!

There was a chance of rain, but look at the sky.  Astrid and I paddled all the way to the bluff.  It was beautiful.  I am sunburned.  It took an hour and a half to get there and back. 

My New Toy

My girls and I are going to have fun with the new toy Larry bought me today.   

I already love it.  Just like riding my bicycle.

Good Weekend

Girls gave Clayton a bunch of new toys to him, but his favorite toy was Gigi's cabinet with the pots and pan.  Greg and Pop tried some fishing on the Galla.

When you are loved

You are remembered!

Jacob Powell

Helen, this is Jacob Powell.  His name was Benjamin, but

he decided he was Jacob and he was.  Jacob was Richard

Powell's Great Uncle. Look it lists Henry and Matilda!!!

Helen, you really should check out this site!

Old Dog New Trick

Fleta taught me something new.  You can save a pdf file, get the file

on your screen, hit printscreen, then go to your photo edit program

and hit control v and there is the pdf and you can save it as a jpeg.

I guess you are never too old to learn.  This is Caroline Coopers death

Certificate.  Our Grandfather Eli found her eating corn from the horse dung

during the Civil War.  Her parents were dead or they ran off and left her.

She was following the Calvary and eating corn with the birds.  He took her 

home to Elinda. Then she grew up andmarried John S. Cooper, Grandpa's son.  

This says her father was Ben Cuthbert.

Site to Share

This is really a neat site. You can look at the REAL death

certificates of anyone who died in Mo. from 1910 to about 1950-

Helen needs to check it out.  I loved it. I looked for a lot of the

families I research and even found the name of a parent that I

had been searching for

http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/#search

Well, Helen may not like it, and Fleta probably already knows about

it ...so Patsy you go check it out.   Look for Poors. I found some that said

Chris Poor was their father.
