I slept better last night than I have in a while. I fell asleep about 9:30pm and woke up at 6:30am. Only got up twice, which is amazing in itself.

It was a long day at work, though. There are a lot of things going on at once. All three owners had customers in the morning while I was working, and one of them was on the car I was driving. They ended up buying it (good choice!) and I had to do a hasty exit from the Chevy and move into a Mazda CX-30. It was like coming home! I’m really beginning to think that is my dream car, if I can afford it when the time comes to buy.

We had a title problem with a Florida sale, so after I finished in Greensburg I went back to Jeannette and got that handled. I had 2 stops to make on the way home, including gas in the Mazda, and it was almost 4pm by the time I pulled in the driveway and reorganized the contents of the car. Just like the old days!

Also found out that Barry (one of the owners) had his mother pass away this weekend. Extending prayers and comfort for the family. She was 90 and struggling but it’s still very hard for all of them.

On the way to work this morning we had a little stray in the road. I think he missed the bus. When I was driving onto my street this evening he was in the playground. Thinking he played hooky today!

I had homemade bread toasted and a home grown tomato for lunch which was yummy. But since it was almost 4pm I guess that was probably it for the day. I’ll grab something light a little later when I’m done with this.

Todd’s message yesterday was on the Second Coming of Christ – ‘no man knows the day and time…’. He did a nice job covering it, and here are some points: 1) Live every day as if it were your last day. 2) Signs of the end times: a) False teachers b) wars and rumors of wars c) Natural disasters d) Christians will be persecuted e) Moral decline f) The gospel will advance. 3) Remember that the longer Christ is gone the closer He is to returning. 4) We will all appear before Christ, but if we belong to Him, we’ve been forgiven! Is it the end times? What have you chosen?

We also voted on a new Children’s Ministry Director. Happy to say that Izabela Crawford has been invited to join our team and has accepted the position. She will be a great addition to the HCC staff – the kids really need her!
