Weekend Surprise!

Well, I got some of my goals accomplished ---plus. Yesterday, Bill followed me to Norman. We took both cars to the dealer for their annual check-ups. Toyota has a gorgeous new showroom with a cafe and restrooms to rival any 5 star hotel! Anyway, when I bought my Camry two years ago, I was advised not to pay cash if I could get a low percentage loan and put the rest of my bonus into a higher paying investment. I followed that advice. While walking around, I noticed that prices on cars have NOT risen. So, I asked the general manager what percentage rate loan I could get now. He crunched some numbers and said that our credit rating was high enough to buy the building if we wanted. Bottom line ---we drove a new 2010 Camry LE home. We didn't pay any extra! Janice, thank your brother, Dwayne! Now, I know how he became a millionaire! We also learned that Fortune Magazine named Camry the most and best American car. Eighty percent of the parts are made in America, and the car is assembled in Texas!

On the way home, we stopped at the Calypso Marina to eat lunch at Thunderbird State Park. While there, Sondra called and said that she and Galen had just left Springfield and were on their way to our house. Noel is not doing well and will go into St. John's Hospital on June 27th. The doctor is waiting to administer the treatment when he can be there for 3 days to watch Noel.

Galen played with the computer after dinner last night and cropped my picture for this blog. He laughed because I think the pic is horrible! He likes it!

Today, there were 16 in Bible study class. That group teases constantly and is such fun to be with! When I went into worship I was surprised to see Galen, Sondra and Mom! I have mentioned that Loretta gave Bill a check for $500 to go towards his Brazil trip. This morning her husband became a Christian and asked for baptism. He's in his fifties. When Bill gave Loretta a necklace that he had bought in Brazil, she burst into tears. It was one of those mornings when you could feel the Spirit of God cover the congregation once again! I'm still waiting patiently for God to answer some of my prayers. I have quit asking Him, and I have started thanking God for what He is going to do!!!
