August 13. Praise the Lord for a more restful night last night although the night was not without interruption. All night long from 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. or later, very loud “music” with a horrible beat permeated the air from a couple houses down the street. Every so often, it woke me up, and then it took a while for me to get back to sleep. This morning, I started another e-mail to C&C. About mid-morning, Daddy and I went out shopping so we’d have enough groceries for the weekend. After three stores, I’d reached my limit; but Daddy went back out before lunch and again this afternoon. He has bookings to go into Owena on Tuesday and come back out on Thursday so he can pick up more supplies that we’ll need while we are in town. I washed up the dishes just before lunch so I wouldn’t have to do them this evening as I knew I’d be busy enough preparing a meal. After my nap, I relaxed a bit and looked through some recipe books. Then I prepared carrots, rice, and fresh fish for our supper. Hadn’t had fresh fish for a long time. After supper and cleaning up the kitchen, I finished the e-mail to C&C. Then I did a little revising of the newsletter and put a few pictures in . August 14. Today I didn’t go anywhere, but I did wash clothes this morning. I hung out a few of them, but Daddy took care of the rest. We also talked with Martha a short while. After all the laundry was hung out, Daddy went out to find a phone and some coffee for Mike. I finished my prayer time while all was quiet and also did the dishes. As soon as Daddy came back, we had dinner and then nap. Then we brought in the clothes, folded them, and put them away. Later I worked on another e-mail for C&C with the list of acknowledgments for our supporters’ newsletter, and finished that this evening. Before supper, we went outside for fresh air and a little stretch. August 15. Last night was mostly sleepless so I was tired today. For some reason, my head just wanted to be awake. Maybe I got about three hours, perhaps four, of sleep. Consequently, I took a morning nap and an afternoon nap. Later this afternoon, Karen and Rachel invited us over to their apartment to share some homemade ice cream. Then we had our supper, and I did the dishes, and then we listened to a message by Pastor Shane Lewis entitled “No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets.” “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11) It is the blood. It is the shed blood. It is the poured-out blood. If Christ had simply died, without His blood having been shed, there would be no atonement for our souls. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7) “18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…. 19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (I Peter 1:18-19) Praise God for the precious blood!
