A week later...

Sorry there wasn’t a post before this. The week has gone very fast.  We have decided to spend the Easter weekend (plus a few days) back home. Getting ready for this is not an easy task.  I have to have someone feed my kitties everyday, the dog needed a reservation at the doggie hotel, and we had to make sure my wayward son has all his clothes in the shed (it’s a nice one—one of those big ones with lofts on both sides and lots of room) since he hasn’t gone into the job market or back to school (long story, I may have given you more info before this) AND make sure he knows he can’t come into the house while we are gone.  I may have to get him a couple cans of food to stick in there…he has been pretty good about not spending a lot of money the last week or so, and I know he’d appreciate it. I have to get ready to tutor tomorrow and Wednesday—I thought I had it easy, but instead of giving them a “pretest” like I wanted (minimal work for me), the vice-principle wants me to wait until the first of May, a couple weeks before the real EOG’s (end of grade tests) so them may ask questions about the tests, etc.  Oh well, just means I have to do a lot of typing up of all the hints and things we have gone over today instead of a week from now. I do pray no one is sick at the bank this week!!! I don’t have time!

 

I had to give the Pastor a REALLY bad time last night.  I found out he is going to start teaching a series on the book of James in a few weeks.  If you know anything about the book of James, one of the first things it says is “count it all joy…when you suffer trials”….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Not so bad though after you are out of the 1^st chapter, BUT we are reading through the Bible in the morning and about the same time we start the book of JOB! Those first chapters of both books will happen about the same time….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! (If you remember the book of Job, he loses his kids and almost all of his possessions all at the same time…he is left with a nagging wife and three friends that do not understand in the least!-the good part is that it is restored to him as more than he had before—so there is hope at the end of this!!) We may need some extra prayer as may starts! 

 

Right now, I think I need prayer to get everything ready for our trip! (i.e. clean the house, tutor well, don’t forget anything like medicine, etc., etc….)
