We had our annual birthday party for Grandma Edna at Phyllis' house yesterday. It was a lot of fun. Bud made some homemade Johnnie Cake that was loaded with butter and tasted yummy. We talked about Grandma and her life and also talked about geneology. Rynda suggested we do a DNA test on the Mieska line, so Steve is going to donate some DNA and Rynda will follow up with a company that tests it. Since we don't really know who Grandpa Fred's father was, this might help us find out. Anyway, stay tuned for more...
Phyllis had some items that were Grandma's that she was parting with, so I picked up her Bible. It was a gift to her in 1962 from her children. It has her name and the year embossed on the front. I'm going to send it down to Jere and Gina for a keepsake. While I was packaging it up a card fell out that listed Grandma's Confirmation Verse. 2 Peter 1-19. Look it up if you are curious. She also marked that passage in "pen" in the bible itself. I was surprised by that. I guess she wanted someone to find it. Well, I did.

I assume that is chapter 1 and verse 19. It reminded me of Jesse's confirmation verse, Psalm 119:105. I think of Jesse every time I hear that verse read in church! It is also in a song I like! Look it up!
Oh, we're humbled! I can't wait to get my hands on that Bible! A little bit of Mieska history and a whole lotta God's history all in one!
Nice verse. Thanks, Sue.
