Baseball and banana pudding

Well that was pretty much the weekend.   We got a lot of stuff done. Everybody liked my banana pudding. The game was fun. Even though it rained. It felt good because it was hot before it rained. We got a free Tug McGraw bobble-head and after the game we got free bread and (don’t laugh) toilet paper. Jeff laughed and said “free bread and toilet paper. Now we can eat… and go to the bathroom” OK you can  laugh- I would like to vow to do something special and fun every weekend. Sure work needs to be done. This weekend was the perfect balance.

I can’t wait to see my daughters.

Bad me

I can’t believe I didn’t post about 4th of July, but it seems like time swooshed by since then.

We had a great 4th as I talked to you about on the phone. Family Freedom Fest on the third which had inflatables and a fireworks show that was as good as a regular park district type show. Fourth morning we went to a parade-it was not spectacular, but was a real parade with the usual stuff. BUT the big bonanza was CANDY-lots of candy and other stuff too. Viv’s candy bag weighed over 5 lbs!

Then came Friday all too soon and it was time for Vivvian to fly up for a visit. Hope she is having a truly good time.

Our weekend was spent in Fernandina for our anniversary.

Gleaning from the weekend

First of all Saturday was busy.

Sunday (I gave Jeff Wii Tiger Woods Golf for Fathers Day) we went to Jeff’s Dad’s Church for Father’s Day. Jeff’s Aunt Naomi was there, so of course she would be invited to the dinner we were having after church. We went home and had dinner and later Jason stopped by. I met Aunt Naomi at her son’s funeral in January of 2005. He died of cancer in his 30s. While she was at dinner we were talking about German food and she mentioned she had lived in Germany for a year because her husband was in the service. From this conversation I learned that her husband had been an alcoholic and that later after he was out of the service he died in a tragic accident. Now sbe has one grandson who lives with her. He is not living righteously, her son who died of cancer had not been living righteously. She mentioned on her way out the door that she would be more welcome at our house than at her daughter’s house. That is sad. Today I can pray for Aunt Naomi. I told Jeff she is welcome at our house any time. I hope we were a blessing to her yesterday.

Also on my mind are a couple from my old church whose son will not come to see them and they don’t know where he is. That is sad and I am praying for them. They did not deserve that.

It’s no wonder Paul said pray without ceasing, and we have it easy compared to him and the early church believers.

No matter what God is worthy of our praise and we were created to bring Him honor and glory.

 

Change is gonna come

It’s been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come -Sam Cooke 1964

Saturday – I am tired but had a full day. Meeting in the church in the morning, a little shopping trip and taco salad. Shopping trip yielded new book and two new tops. Also a gift book for Viv’s teacher for the last day of school. Barnes and Noble and Belks

God bless you and the rest of your weekend, part of which tomorrow I hope you spend worshipping God, having a Sabbath rest, and fellowshipping with people who believe in Jesus.

My thoughts on VT

I can’t imagine any of us haven’t had some questioning thoughts and deep sadness about what happened at Virginia Tech. Though I don’t know anyone at that campus, I still feel a loss. I can’t make sense of a lot of things that happen in our world. I only know we need Jesus badly.

I went to crosswalk.com and this artice has some good points.
