June 12. A very warm day, but we are thankful that it is not as hot here as it is in parts of the north. Early this morning, before we had gotten out of bed, I heard a thunkity clunk and wondered what was making noise now. Then I heard it again, and so did Daddy. “Somebody’s after the birds,” I said. I jumped out of bed and went to the back door. Sure enough. There was Tommy* looking up at me with that innocent look as if to say, “Is something wrong?” I chased him off and came back into the house. Shortly after that, I looked out and saw mother robin back on the nest and father robin standing on the edge of the nest looking in with her. The nest doesn’t look quite the same though, but I can’t see into it to see if the babies are there or not. It appears that mother and father robin are bringing food so perhaps they are. First thing after breakfast and quiet time, Daddy found the story of “The Real McCoy” for me, and I e-mailed that to myself from his computer and pasted it into yesterday’s journal notes. Then I transferred some pictures to Kodak and edited them, and got journal notes sent off to Connie with a few photos. Daddy and I went for a walk a little before 9:00, and it was already getting quite warm. We didn’t go very far though, not because it was too warm, but because of my knee making walking a struggle. After that, Daddy and I started checking the gospel of John. We are thankful to get back to translating again. It is so important for us to stick to it as much as possible. I also made a shepherd’s pie for Daddy’s dinner. In the afternoon, the Lord helped us to complete the checking of John chapter 1. “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” I John 3:5 Praise the Lord for a sinless Saviour who willingly became our sacrifice for sin, the only perfect sacrifice. *Tommy is the neighbor’s cat. Sometimes he is kind of naughty, but he is also a sweet cat and a good mouser too. He also helps keep the possums away. June 13. It was a pretty warm day again, but a light welcome rain cooled things off late this afternoon. I put a load of clothes in to wash and put clean sheets on the bed and wrote a thank you note to Old Rugged Cross Baptist Church while the clothes were washing. Daddy helped me hang them out and then went off to Save-a-Lot to get some milk and prune juice. I got a letter written to Mary so I could get her newsletter out in the mail. The rest of the morning was spent doing more packing of PNG items. This afternoon, after getting the clothes in, I set up John chapter 1 in the Scripture print file. This evening, Daddy has gone with the girls to VBS so I am having a quiet evening to myself with the Lord. “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.” I John 3:7
