St Colman demonstrates how we can change our lives to follow God at any age and from any state of being. Prayer… Lord, remind me that I am never too old or too enmeshed in a way of life to change everything for You.

Good Morning!
Very early here. I’m off to southern Iowa at 0430, will return tonight. I’m hoping to beat the arctic blast and the snow. Pray for safe travels there and back.
Last Saturday, the man and I headed to Mauston early to look through items in a storage shed to see if there was anything there worth salvaging. There was. We brought home 3 vintage wool room rugs in excellent condition, 2 Capodimonte lamps, 1 Currier Lithograph, another lithograph (1 of a set of 4, Heidi’s Children) in an ornate paper frame from the 30s stamped patent pending, and 5 school cutout hanging decorations from the ’50s. Total cost is zero… The resale value of the lamps alone is $400. It was definitely worth the trip. Of course, we then stopped at the ReStore and found a Roseville crock for $2. Due to great finds, I had to stop at another resale in a small town on the way home, coming away with onyx sombrero bookends with original stickers still on the bottom (improving resale value). Finally got everything tagged and stored. Will deal with the resale after Thanksgiving.
Time’s getting away from me this morning.
Know you are prayed for.
