July 27 and 28. It was just about 11:30 when we arrived home last night from Green Bay -- too late to write in journal. We’ll see if I can remember yesterday’s events. First thing in the morning, I came downstairs where it is quiet and had my quiet time. Then we had breakfast together with the Palmers. They like to sit around the table and just chat for a good while when breakfast is over. Then I helped Hazel clear up the table and do dishes. Close to mid-morning, I came back downstairs. Just worked on crocheting a while as Daddy and I planned to go to the library and use the internet. Library would open at 10:00. The library was pleasant, and the librarian was very helpful. Gave us an extension cord and power bar to use while we were there. We were able to receive e-mails and send one off to Connie with journal notes and pictures. Daddy looked up the projector manual to find out how to get sound from our computer to our projector. It has been a long time since we used the projector and we couldn’t remember how to do it. We were thankful to get an answer for that; and after we got back from the library, we tried it out. Praise the Lord, it works now! Did a little more crocheting until we went out with the Palmers for lunch at a pizza place which had a salad bar and hot food bar. On the way home, Ken drove us out to see Lake Winnebago. We didn’t go around the lake, because it is 100 miles around. It would be a pretty place to have a picnic. When we got back to the house, Daddy and I took a nap. I worked on a Sunday school lesson for a little bit after nap. Made a little snack-lunch for us to take on the road, and got everything packed up that we needed to take with us. Left here around 4:45 for Green Bay, giving time for traffic jams or whatever. The Lord gave us smooth sailing, however, and we arrived at our destination, First Bible Baptist Church, by 6:00 - an hour early. We sat in the car a while and ate a little supper snack. Then we went inside and set up our display. People were already there. It was a blessing to see a good group of people, including a good number of young people. A man in charge set up our DVD video to be played later. Pastor Keck came to the back and introduced himself to us. He was dressed casually, and Daddy was in a suit and had on a tie. He told Daddy that he forgot to let him know that Wednesday evening is casual. Daddy was happy to shed his suit jacket and tie. People were very friendly. Daddy didn’t speak, but the video was shown. Following the service, I talked with several people, but spent a little more time with a teenage young man. He had heard in the video that I had struggled with assurance of salvation as a child and wanted to hear my testimony. I was happy to share my testimony with him. I figured there must have been a reason why he asked about my testimony, so then I asked him, “Are you saved?” He hesitated a few seconds and then said, “I’m saved but having the same problem you did. I’m still trying to find assurance.” Then I shared with him briefly how I had taught my students about God’s assurance promises in the gospel of John and encouraged him to read through John and take note of all those verses. Told him I would be praying for him. Another lady wanted to talk after that, but we had to go because it was 9:00, and the Matthews family was taking us out to eat. They wanted to get to Culvers before it closed. We enjoyed good fellowship with the Matthews while we ate. Don’t know what time we left Culvers - some time after 10:00. Daddy woke up early this morning, but I slept in until almost 7:00. It was cool and cloudy most of the day - nice to have the house opened and a refreshing breeze blowing through. Daddy took a nap later in the morning. I did some crocheting and worked on Sunday school lessons for Owena. “The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.” Exodus 15:2 How thankful I am for a personal God! He is my everything. He is all I need.
