May 14. It was a somewhat busy day. We didn’t go to the girls’ house today. After showering and washing hair and having quiet time and breakfast, the first order of business was to make soup. Butternut squash soup today—one whole butternut squash with half dozen carrots, a couple stalks of celery, one onion, one large apple, and some kidney beans. Add seasonings. Turn on the crockpot and let it cook. After a short relax break, I went to the computer. What shall I do today? Need to get busy translating more of the missionary training course lessons. Worked on the culture course while Daddy went off to see Dr. Cook and go to the post office. After he came back, we checked Acts 3. Soon it would be lunch time. Oh, dear. What was Daddy going to have for lunch? Our spaghetti and sauce are at C&C’s house. We have meat here, but nothing to fix to go with it. How about Subway today? That will have to do. So before noon, Daddy went out again, got his lunch at Subway, and picked up a couple things at WalMart. I finished organizing all the rest of my card making stuff, got the dining room table wiped off, and put the placemats and napkins back on as it was before. Praise the Lord that that job is done and the boxes are put away in the back room. After nap, I happened to think, I really need to finish up the quarterly newsletter. Spent the next couple hours completing that project. By then my soup was done and cooled enough to puree. It was supper time, too, so as soon as the soup was all pureed, I enjoyed a delectable cupful. After supper, I made a greeting card for a special friend’s spiritual birthday. I also repacked one of my suitcases which will carry extra belongings, such as blanket, sheet set, towels, fry pan, external keyboard, etc. I was thankful for Daddy’s help in washing dishes again this evening. Also for the Lord’s help in doing more work on the training course lessons. I was glad to get most of my belongings moved out of the bedroom where I’m sleeping and into the room where we’ll store them this weekend when we won’t be staying here. Morning Star has a guest speaker coming. “And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.” Joshua 24:27 All of creation hears God speak. Do we? “Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.” Deuteronomy 32:1 May 15. It took a while to get everything ready to go to C&C’s house this morning. Finally left the house a little before 9:00 with hopes of getting a lot done this morning, including printing out enough newsletters for mailing to supporters, and doing more work on translation. The printer, however, needed attention which took most of the rest of the morning. Printed out a trial copy of our newsletter. Yipes, stripes! Looks like printer is out of ink. I wonder why the warning page with ink levels hasn’t been coming up on my computer. Go look in the ink wells. Sure enough, all but empty. Fill ink wells. Try again. Still has stripes. Now what? Do troubleshooting. Printer needs head alignment and nozzle cleaning. Besides the printer problems, some of the pictures printed too dark. Lightened up pictures and replaced the ones on the page with the edited ones. Tried printing another newsletter. One good copy done. Praise the Lord for His help. Lunch time now. This afternoon, I worked quite a bit on the lessons for the missionary training program and wrote a letter to Pastor W. This evening, I did dishes and put a second coat of paint on the back of the white bookshelf. “1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.” Isaiah 32:1-4 King Jesus, the God-man, came to reign in righteousness. He is a hiding place and covert from the storms; He is as rivers of water in a dry place and the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. The eyes of those who see Him shall see clearly. The ears of those who hear His voice will obey. Those who were rash will understand knowledge, and those who couldn’t speak well will be able to speak plainly. What a refuge we have in our Savior! And what a help for our infirmities!
