  November 2023 Newsletter Robert Lindenberger God is good all the time; all the time, God is good! Amen? This newsletter will be different than any I have ever written and shared. Older man dreams – that means we remember things from the past, and there is a lot to remember. I want this newsletter to be a remembrance and dedicated to my sister, Irene. She has been alive on planet Earth for 100 years, and her husband, Guy, is 101. I can’t remember much before the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, but I do remember that day, and as the president said,” THIS DAY WILL GO DOWN IFINATLY.” The Boys, as Mother called them, went off to war. You, Irene, graduated from high school and married Guy, who also went to war. I can remember sitting at the grown-up’s table, you and Drue, and finally, Mid reading letters and writing to your loved ones. And I remember you, Drue, and Mid twirling your batons in the yard. And I remember Mother saying, it’s your turn to take care of Bobby. And you sa...

EPTEMBER 2023 NEWSLETTER   ROBERT LINDENBERGER       God is good all the time; all the time, God is good !  Amen?      When my mother went to Church , people greeted her and asked, “ H ow are you?  She would always answer, “I am fine and dandy.  No one wants to hear my problems anyway.” I am able to relate to her feelings and have been in a state of depress i on and wishing to go home to H eaven , and a dear person I confided in sent me this on Facebook: Dear Friends, here’s a reminder for you today:  God’s not finished with you yet.   It doesn’t matter how old you are (88)   I t doesn’t matter how little you’ve done,    It doesn’t matter how much you’ve done,   It doesn’t matter how far you’ve come,   It doesn’t matter how much you’ve stumbled or failed (me)   And it certainly doesn’t matter what stage of life you are in.   (Feeling us...
