THREE DAY RECAP

Sunday Mark helped me teach SS and MK came in for church. I gave them a tour of our Library so they could see all the new furniture and Children's Discovery Center. They hadn't been in the Library for years. Then MK prepared spaghetti chicken and fed Sue and Ike with us. They drove back thru a heavy rainstorm in Eastland and I watched it go east of me. I got .02" that day. Yesterday it sprinkled sometime during the night. When I got the mail about 9:30 it started sprinkling on me and I even tried to jog uphill. Didn't do well on that. I went to Abilene and got raindrops on my windshield but not enough to run the wipers. I had to buy ink cartridges to complete printing the Flame for the church. I also opted to buy a larger Uninterruptable Power System so that I can have the computer, monitor and satellite so that a short power outage will not take me out. I have tried it out and it helps. With the rain storms going by every day we get one second outages often. I also had the car serviced, ate at Chinese Kitchen for the $4.55 lunch. With tea it was less than six dollars. I tip well there. It is good food at the lowest price for a sit-down luncheon. I recycled and bought groceries at HEB. When I got home I printed up six more Flames.

This morning my new rain gauge said it recorded .04" last night. It must have been early in the morning because there was no rain puddles when I went to get the mail. I worked on my computer and emailed the FUMC Administrative Council minutes after I waited for corrections. I went to town and took a copy of the Flame to Carl Edington and went to Kiwanis. The speaker didn't show due to illness and it was a good thing because most of the Kiwanis were off visiting grandchildren and doctors. But Harris Worcester, our new preacher came just to make me happy. He told me he drove by here yesterday coming from visiting patients in Abilene, but didn't stop. At least he knows where I live.

Our Sunday School lesson covered Genesis 20-24 and we decided that we didn't have the faith of Abraham and would have a lot of trouble sacrificing our only child born when we were 100. And not all of the women were sure that they would have had the courage of Rebecca to leave her family and go with some stranger who gave her a large nose ring. When she saw Isaac she put her veil on. An old middle east custom.
