Walked outside – beautiful! But, followed by rain… Not too much work today, so I was home early. Stuck the roast in early this morning. Autmn and Eric are watching TV until it’s time to start the rest of dinner. She’s cooking for Eric – it’s their 6 month anniversary. Nate, Jen and Chrissy are coming over later.
Dinner was very tasty! We had a roast, and Autmn made mashed potatoes, broccoli cheese rice, green beans, noodles and gravy. And homemade bread. Oreo Ice Cream for dessert. Now we are all too full to move! They are still watching movies… I’m excited that I have three days ahead of me – maybe I’ll find a sunny hour or two to wash windows.
Today I will share Steve’s message from Maplewood: It’s not what you thought; follow me anyway. ‘Preaching is foolishness to the perishing but to us, the power of God unto salvation!’ Sometimes we don’t buy into or understand the teachings of God, but we have to go with God. We can’t think like the world thinks – they think it’s foolishness. Think on Jesus Christ and him crucified. There is power in the way God does things – and God does things differently. His death destroys our death. He brought life to all who receive him. We meet Christ at the table – it’s not insignificant. Follow Jesus to his cross. He makes all things new.
On this day in 1862 and 1865 a lot of Civil War things happened. Check it out! In 1918, US Army mess cook Private Albert Gitchell was the first documented case of the Spanish flu; created a world wide pandemic killing 50-100 millions. In 1997 Paul McCartney was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, and in 2020 COVID 19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. And so it began… And according to Shakespeare, this was Romeo & Juliet’s wedding day. My friend Dave Baughman is having a birthday today. Dave worked at Smail’s a lot of the years I was there, and our daughters were very good friends in HCC youth group. I understand he’s going through some rough health issues – Birthday and get well wishes both to you, my friend! Thinking of you and praying for your improved health!
