COVID hit pretty hard.
We were all sitting in the welcome area at church a few weeks ago on a Wednesday night. The usual crowd was at the church enjoying coffee and snacks before the service. Pastor was sitting by the window laughing and smiling and soaking in the fellowship of all the church members coming through the door.
We attend a non-denominational church in the town that Chuck graduated from high school. Pastor was his classmate. A few years ago we decided to get baptized along with a young lady that had moved in with us. She was raised in a Muslim home. She asked to be baptized as a show of taking the Christian faith. chuck and I had been baptized before but wanted to be baptized with her as a show of family.
Pastor lovingly baptized all of us along with another young lady that wanted to have that same happiness. He is a tall man around the 60 year mark. His wife is always smiling. They were high school sweethearts. He was also a steer roper,
Later that week I saw on Facebook that pastor was ill and in the hospital. He died within the week.
We were heartbroken along with the rest of the congregation. I just feel lost.

Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
