First an update on Tonia, which is rather vague as I know it right now. She was life-flighted to AGH in Pittsburgh on Friday night because of blood clots in her lung. Her face is very swollen. They are working slowly and deliberately on breaking them up safely. She is feeling some better but will stay at AGH until the situation is resolved. They appreciate your prayers and thoughts for them.
I just got to church this morning when Kim called me, and she was tied up at home for a few minutes and wanted me to sit with the class until she could get there. I just walked into the classroom when Izabela (children’s director) came in with new sample teaching material. Kim, Stephanie, Mary and I will look it over and see if it will be a good fit. Once Kim got there I went down to class. It’s still an anomaly for me to be in class!
Todd’s message was focused on Moving Forward with the Next Generation. His love for the youth and their part in the body of Christ is very obvious. We should mentor the next generation, and be spiritual parents – make a difference in their lives. They aren’t the future; they ARE the church. Stop a minute and consider that the new testament starts with God asking a teenager for help – when he asked Mary to be the mother of his Son!!! Wow. Leave a spiritual inheritance for the Next Generation. It was a very good, motivational message.
After I got home and ate lunch I changed into grungy clothes and started on my yard project. I was just going to mow, but it was obvious I needed to weed whack, which I did first. It was fairly warm and that slowed me down almost an hour! But once that was finished, I cut the grass, blew everything clean with the blower, and hosed off the white fence. It took me over 3 hours to do that.
I was a mess – sweaty, hot, tired, dirty – so I took a good shower and put on clean PJ’s. Then I took a few pictures of the fall decorations in the house – and I will add a few more here and there. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the doctor to discuss the results of the test that I couldn’t take last week!
My blessing today was to get the yard caught up, and being in church.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW September 23rd is:
Educational Technology Day (Go, Logan!); International Day of Sign Languages; National Ivy Day; National Apple Cider Vinegar Day; National Baker Day; National Checkers Day (NOT the board game!!!); National Family Day; National Great American Pot Pie Day; National Snack Stick Day; Redhead Appreciation Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Scissors Day; Tomorrow – Kath will definitely celebrate Sign Languages! I like pot pies. And I have a great appreciation for a red-headed skunk hollow cousin! God bless…
