September 12. Am thankful for a pretty good night’s sleep. I had a cold, very quick shower this morning. There wasn’t a drop of hot water. After we got to C&C’s house, I took down the big spider web in the back outside corner of the carport. Since the spider has disappeared (along with all the other big spiders that at one time had webs outside around the house), there is no sense in leaving the big web up there. (Well, one spider came back later.) After removing the spider web, I sat down in the chair outside and finished my prayer time. After that, I had some walking exercise, and then came back inside and made a smoothie. After I got settled down at the computer and had written an e-mail, Daddy and I checked Galatians 3. It took a little more time today as there were some difficult places to mull over. Praise the Lord for His help! Also had time to get corrections made in the computer and get things set up in the print file. This afternoon, I got the shopping list made and then wrote a couple more MTP lessons for the outreach program. Pastor concluded his series on Esther this evening with a review of all the specific areas that he had covered. Esther 4:14. God orchestrates timing and people for His purposes. Sometimes we can see God’s hand working, and sometimes we are in the dark even though we know that God is working. Later in the evening, I turned to MBC website and listened to a sermon by Evangelist Caleb Garraway, called The Rending of Revival, based on Isaiah 64:1, urging people to earnestly seek and pray for revival for our nation. An excellent and thought-provoking message. “1Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!” Isaiah 64:1,2 Isaiah’s prayer for revival. September 13. We went out a little after 8:00 this morning to shop and didn’t get back until 11:00. It didn’t take us long to shop at Lidl’s. We only had a few items to get there. Our time in WalMart turned out to be extra long as we waited for someone to look and see if they had the double packs of oven roasted turkey deli meat. They didn’t. Then we walked all around the store trying to find large black hose (drain hose pipe) to attach to the girls’ down pipe to drain off any heavy rain that might come during the weekend storm. We never did find any so finally checked out and went on from there to Aldi. It didn’t take us long at Aldi, but then we went over to Lowes and Daddy went in to try to find the black hose there. He went to the garden center, which is where it was, but nobody was able to help him find it; and they sent him clear across to the other side of the store to look for it in the lumber section. Somebody there told him where it was located in the garden department so he had to walk all the way back to the garden department, and he finally found the hose. We made one last stop—at Fast Stop for gas. Finally home, we got food put away, and then I turned on the computer, thinking I would use the half hour that was left before lunch time to start writing in my journal. Instead I spent that half hour changing the font in the whole journal from Lucida Calligraphy to Lucida Handwriting, and a few places of Berlin Sans FB to Arial. Apparently when Microsoft “upgraded” my computer yesterday, they “down-graded” all the new fonts they had given me over the past few upgrades, a couple of which I had used in my journal and probably in some other files. (In other words, they took away all the new fonts they had given me. Since Lucida Calligraphy was “not available” now, they had put some other font in its place that was so pale and unreadable, I had no choice but to change it. They didn’t even tell what it was—they still called it Lucida Calligraphy, which it wasn’t. By the time those changes were all made, it was time for lunch. After nap, Daddy and I checked Galatians chapter 4, and I was also able to get the corrections made in the computer and everything set up in the print file before 5:00. This evening, I cooked kale and sweet potatoes to be ready for tomorrow’s meals. Also did some crocheting and Daddy and I went for a walk together. We also had some Bible study and prayer time together. “6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.” Psalm 85:6,7 The new verses I’m starting to memorize go well with last night’s message. This is my prayer for myself, my family, my church, and my country.
