March 12. Eighty-second day of winter. Dark, cold, and rainy. Sun peeked out a couple times this afternoon. This morning, I organized last week’s journal notes into a file and sent them to Connie. Also wrote and deleted a few e-mails. Then packed a couple boxes of PNG stuff. This afternoon, I spent quite a bit of time looking for music for more of the songs we have translated into Pidgin. Daddy and I were also at Dr. Cook’s office for about an hour for back adjustments. Did the dishes early this evening and then checked over Acts chapter 19. “26Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.” Deuteronomy 11:26-28 March 13. Eighty-third day of winter. Very chilly this morning, but the Lord sent us sunshine and warmed up the day so nicely. The day started out somewhat normal. After breakfast, I put a load of clothes in to wash. While they were washing, I translated a couple paragraphs of a missionary story. I hung out the sheets, but left Daddy to do the rest of the clothes because it was still too cold for me. Then around 10:00 we got ready to go out to the thrift stores to look for a few items we were still needing. Went to the hospice thrift store first, They have 50% off all clothing on Tuesdays. Daddy found a belt, but the only thing I found was a couple pieces of pretty lace. From there, we went to Verizon so Daddy could pay the phone bill. Then across the street to Salvation Army. We decided to stop at Big Lots first, however. I wanted to look there for socks anyway. Of course, we had to look around at the food items too, and we bought a half dozen things in that department. They had many pairs of socks, but they were all ankle socks. Not to my liking so no socks today. Afterward, we walked next door to the Salvation Army thrift store. Didn’t see any long-sleeved blouses like I am wanting, but found a skein of soft, bulky yarn and a warm shirt for Connie. Today was senior day at Salvation Army, so we were able to purchase the shirt and yarn at 25% off; and yellow tag items were 50% off. Praise the Lord for the shopping blessings. It was now about 12:00. Time to head home. We were going to make a quick stop at Mighty Dollar for Daddy to run in and see if they had bread. When he turned the key in the ignition, however, there was nothing. Just click, click. The windows and lights still worked so we figured it wasn’t the battery. Daddy called AAA for help. They would send a tow truck, but we would have to wait about an hour. We went back into Big Lots to get some “lunch” (just snacks) and then sat in the car and waited. Called Connie to let her know that it would be a while before we could get home. Tow truck arrived a little after 1:00, from Spindale. The driver loaded the van onto the truck. Didn’t seem to know that we had planned to ride along although Daddy had told the person who was making arrangements for our pickup. The driver had to move his lunch out of the fold down console in the middle and put the console up so there would be two seats. After Daddy and I climbed in, we headed for A+ Automotive. Charlie wasn’t there, but Rick seems to be second in command. He is very nice, but said they are super busy and are backed up already with about a week’s work. He will check the van out as soon as he is able and try to determine the problem—probably either the alternator or the starter. We didn’t know how we were going to get back home, but Rick kindly offered to bring us here. We were very grateful for his offer. It was around 2:00 when we finally arrived home. Had to puree soup, and it was going on 2:30 before I finished eating. I was too tired to make the bed so just threw one blanket over the bed and another on top of us. Slept a little over an hour and a half. Was thankful to have had time to relax this evening and look over another chapter of Acts before doing dishes. Praise the Lord for His watch care over us and His blessings today. “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.” Deuteronomy 12:32
