August 3. Woke up all stuffed up in the wee hours of the morning. Couldn’t get back to sleep so finally got up and took some clear lungs. Was able to relax and get back to sleep shortly afterward. Started out the day with morning drinks and started quiet time. More quiet time while the rest of the haddock and some amaranth was cooking for my breakfast. After eating, I put a load of clothes in the washing machine and set a few buttons to start things rolling. Then I went outside to continue prayer time and get some walking exercise. When I came back in, I made a small smoothie to drink. Then turned on the computer, opened up files, and wrote one e-mail. By then it was time to work on translation—chapter 7 today. We knew we would need plenty of wisdom for this chapter, and the Lord gave liberally as He has promised. When we finished checking 1 Corinthians 7, Daddy suddenly remembered the laundry. Was it still in the washing machine? Oops! Probably good and wrinkled by now. Had better take care of that next. Threw part of the items into the dryer and got it going. Then hung the rest on hangers in the bedroom and bathroom. The weather outside looked too threatening. After that, I made corrections for 1 Corinthians 7. Then had lunch. Then transferred chapter 7 to the print file. Then had nap. The rest of the afternoon, I worked on the outreach lessons for MTP. This evening, I did some crocheting and some research on the web. “30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.” Acts 8:30,31 It is important to get the written word of God into the hands of everyone in the world, but how will they understand without a man to guide them? How shall they hear, how shall they understand, without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? (See Romans 10:14,15) How important it is for churches to send out laborers! August 4. A misty morning. Was still able to sit outside and pray and then do some walking before the mist got too heavy. Christy washed and hung out clothes, but the light rain didn’t affect them much, and it wasn’t long before the mist fled away. Later in the day, the Lord sent us sunshine. When I came back in from my walk, I wrote a few e-mails. The girls went off to Sandy’s, and Daddy and I enjoyed the quiet for a while. The rest of the morning I did painting. A little before noon, Daddy went off to Subway and I was still painting. When Daddy got back, I was still painting. I had gotten so engrossed in what I was doing, I didn’t even realize it was going on 1:00 and that I was hungry. I hurriedly cleaned up my mess and then fixed myself some lunch. After nap, I searched for pictures for the presentation for a little while. Then our family went off to White Oak Manor to visit James. He actually seems to be slowly making more improvement. Today we noticed that he had more control over the movement of his arms. We didn’t stay long. After talking with him briefly, Daddy read Psalm 19 to him. We ladies sang “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” and then Daddy prayed. After we got home, I searched for pictures a bit more before having supper. Then I did more painting until everyone was ready to play a game. Connie picked Boggle tonight.
