September 3. It didn’t even dawn on me that today is a holiday (Labor Day) until Christy said yesterday that she has today off. So we decided to come and spend today with the girls instead of tomorrow. First thing I did after getting here was finish prayer time, make and drink a smoothie, and do a little walking. Then I wrote yesterday’s journal notes which I forgot all about until late yesterday evening when I was too tired. Then I transferred journal notes to a file for Connie and proofread those before sending them out to her. Also transferred a few photos to the computer, edited them, and sent a couple to Connie along with the journal notes. By then it was going on 11:30, later than I realized, so Daddy’s dinner would be a bit late. Prepared the chicken and popped it into the oven. Then started peeling potatoes. Piyu, what’s that awful smell? A rotten potato! Get rid of it quick! Peel the rest. Cut them up into small pieces. Cover them with water, and set them aside until the chicken was mostly done. Shake up flour, milk, salt, and pepper in a jar for making gravy. Get out mixer and beaters. Soon it was time to start the potatoes cooking; and as soon as they were done, I whipped them up with butter, cream, salt, and pepper. Daddy warmed up leftover veggies, and I made the gravy. Everything was finally ready for him to eat. It was after 12:30 already. Heated up a cupful of soup for myself. While Daddy and I had our nap, C&C went out to visit Kathy M. Daniel had picked her up and taken her to Peak today to visit Ted, and she had called the girls and asked them to come there. So that’s what they did. They had a good time, not only visiting Kathy and Ted, but talking with a couple veterans who are Ted’s friends there. Didn’t do a whole lot the rest of the day, other than relax, talk with the girls, play a couple computer games, do some crocheting. And in the evening, after I had washed the dishes, we all played a table game together. “If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,)….” I Kings 8:46a For all have sinned. September 4. After breakfast, before the day got too hot and humid, Daddy went out walking with me, and we made several laps around the parking lot. When we came back in, I finished my prayer time. Then I made a gallon jugful of healing tea which I had been wanting to do for some time. Then Daddy and I got ready to start checking II Corinthians 9, and had just checked the first verse when the phone rang. It was Beth. I was happy to hear from her and enjoyed a nice chat with her. Then back to the work of translation checking. It took the rest of the morning to cover chapters 9 and 10, but we thank the Lord for His help in going over those two chapters. There were several difficult places where we spent a fair bit of extra time. After that, we had lunch; and while I was eating, I made the corrections in the Corinthians file while they were still fresh in my mind. Afterward, I got things set up in the print file and also added the English for chapter 11. This afternoon, I brought to completion the course on “Seeing the World Need,” wrote another lesson in the outreach course, and started another lesson in the outreach course, which I finished this evening. Daddy did the dishes for me this evening, and a little while after that, we went out for a little walk and enjoyed the fresh air and looking at the cloud formations. “60That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 61Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.” I Kings 8:60 Oh, that we God’s people may live in such a way that all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
