Yikes! I didn't realize it had been so long since I have posted a blog. I have been going non-stop! Last Monday, we had Galen and Sondra and Mom over to grill Brats for Labour Day Weekend. Tuesday, I volunteered at the hospital. Wednesday was catch up day. It was time to go to the bank, get gas etc. Thursday, I went with Mom to the kidney specialist. Her kidneys have begun to fail and they will try some new medications on her. She amazes everyone because she is still so pretty and walks without a cane at 91 years old. Friday, I took her to the pharmacy and then to the nail salon to get our nails done. We do that once a month together. While there, we saw Crystal, Galen's daughter who moved to Shawnee recently. She seems to adjusting to leaving California for the midwest. She is in the process of applying for nursing jobs. She will have no trouble at all.
Friday evening, Bill and I hosted Pastor Larry and music director Russell Ramsy for dinner. I made my favorite meal, spaghetti, green beans, tossed salad and garlic bread. For desser, I made banana pudding. We discussed the Christmas musical for Blackburn Baptist Chapel until 10:00 p.m. That church is coming back from the dead, and the people are so excited. They have not had Christmas music for almost 6 years! This morning, the people were given survey forms and already there are 14 people who want to sing in the choir. The Spirit of God is raining down on that church. A 70 year old biker and his wife were baptized this morning along with others. Bill and I were in one of 3 adult Bible Study Classes that has exploded from 3 to 16 people in a few months. Pastor Larry spoke to me about starting a new class of college and career adults. We'll pray and see what God wants. Bill and I never thought we would leave New Beginnings Church, but God has moved us and we are feeling the excitement.
When you see God working all around you, you don't care as much about Obama and his thugs, or the war in the middle east. I know that God is still in control of this world and I must be accountable for what happens in my life. Of course, I will pray and know that the old devil is out there. I will continue to watch Fox News and be intelligent but not become discouraged. I will also continue to pray for the friends I love who do not agree with me and do not know the love of Christ.
