Work, Play and Pray

This week has been one full week! All week I've been finding lots of opportunity to practice flexibility and trusting in the Lord. I'm beginning to come to the point of not even making plans so that I feel available to serve however I'm needed. It's been fun, exciting, challenging and well worth it!

This morning Chris, Annie and I went and painted the kitchen we were doing with two different colors, and I'm feeling grateful to the Lord because the whole job went so smoothly we were done by 1:00 and so we were able to go home to join the party that was happening at our house!

Dad and Justin were working in 2 seperate places and they were able to make it home for the party too!

Mr. B. Came and did a very entertaining magic show for us! It was great!! People played volleyball for several hours straight, I joined in and jammed my thumb on the first game and wasn't able to play any other games all day which was a real bummer! Justin and Darrell BBQ'ed hot dogs and hamburgers, lots and lots of them. They did a great job. All in all it was a really nice afternoon/evening thanks to Mrs. Gramm's organization and hard work!!!


This afternoon Dad got a call informing us that Pastor Sam wasn't doing to well. Apparently he had several small strokes and so after spending some time with him Dad followed the ambulance to be with him in the hospital.

While in the emergency room Dad overheard a woman in the room next to them complaining to the Doctor about her breathing problem... As she went on and on Dad couldn't help but hear her and indeed she was not having any difficulty in breathing! What she wanted was for the Doctor to get the school board to clean her school room for her because she had asthma! Finally the Doctor said, "I don't know what to tell you. I think you should contact the mental heal-- I mean health board!"

The Bible says that a merry heart does good like a medicine. Unfortunately Pastor Sam must not have heard that conversation because he's still at the hospital. But I'm sure he covets your prayers! Dad's on his way back there tonight.

EDIT: Pastor Sam is still in the hospital. The Doctors want to give him a pace-maker, but he doesn't really want one. Especially when they told him he'd only have 2 months to live at the most without one. He's has congestive heart failure.
