We had a good day today. Got some packing done for our France trip. We have purchased a lot of the items that Jason and Angie requested using the offerings which were given for that purpose. We still need to get some of the children's clothing they requested and will need to go to a bigger store than the one here in Hillsboro. We will check Henderson and Corsicana when we go over to help Janie's parents get to their doctor's appointments. The picture is of Janie's dad at Waldrop Cemetery where Janie's mother's people are buried.
We had a really good supper tonight. I cooked some fresh turnip greens and baked some sweet potatoes and some, what I refer to as fake, cornbread. I can not eat real cornbread because I am allergic to corn so we make cornbread using cream of wheat. I fried some spam to go with it and what a meal.
The kids on the bus were well behaved tonight. Last time one of the men of our church road the bus and was fairly tough on the kids to get them to behave. He did not ride with us tonight but Janie told them if the did not behave he would be back. They behaved exceptionally well. We will not run the bus again until December which is a long time to the kids. They all seem to enjoy coming to our mid-week Bible School and hated to hear that we would not have it again until December.
Tomorrow I will spend my morning at the hospital with the family of one of our church members while she is having surgery. We will head for Henderson tomorrow afternoon and will return on Friday after spending the day with Janie's Parents. Saturday will be spent in Purdon at the district ladies auxiliary meeting. Saturday night and Sunday morning we will fix our covered dishes for the fellowship lunch at the church. I will be preaching on the subject "Where is the God of Elijah."
We plan to drive our truck to the airport Monday and park in the south parking lot at the airport. It will cost $56 but we thought it would be worth that not to have to bother someone to take us there and then come back and get us. If our returning flight was delayed for some reason it might cause a problem for the person picking us up so we will spend the money and have our truck waiting for us when we return. We will be very tired upon our return but it is only a 1 hour and 15 minute drive home from the airport and that is not too bad. We will be able to handle that OK. When I returned from a trip to Belgium 15 years ago I had to drive over 3 hours to get home and that was not easy at all.
Well once again a day has ended and it has been a productive day. I have read the Bible, prayed repeatedly, preached God's Word, and walked about 1/2 a mile (not near as much as I should have walked). Thank you Lord for this good day. God bless you.
