September 5. A warm night. A warm morning. By bedtime last night, my knee was quite painful after popping in and out so many times. It got stiff during the night as I thought it would, and it was painful to walk on it whenever I had to get up. Once I started moving around this morning, however, I gained more mobility, although the knee is still a bit painful, and I don’t move with ease. Not long before bedtime, it started popping again. After breakfast and quiet time and making the bed, I enjoyed a little Bible study in II Kings. The rest of the day was spent mostly on writing the monthly update. This evening, I started working on school Bible lessons again. Hadn’t worked on them for a long time; and even if the Christian school never works out, it would be good to have a set all made up for teaching children. “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” (II Kings 6:16) Whether the enemy be a great host or giants great or small, we need never fear, for the army of the Lord of hosts has many more chariots and horses than any earthly enemy; and they are with us. The Lord never leaves us alone to fight our battles. “With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.” (II Chronicles 32:8) September 6. So thankful that I did not have to fix a meal or do much on my feet today as my knee kept trying to misbehave. Thankful for Anna Jean’s work washing clothes, too. Got e-mails ready to send to C&C with the September updates, and Daddy sent them out. Apekio came along to see what we needed at market; and she and Anna Jean and I sat and talked for a while. After they left, Daddy went for a short walk to the airstrip and back while I blended up the carrots and pumpkin together and then went out to get the clothes. It was not a good time for a walk. The air is very dry, and it was already quite hot. The sky is full of smoke from yesterday’s fires. We did not see fires today, but there may have been some on the other side of the ridges. The air has a very unusual dry, hot feel in it, like a time of drought perhaps. It was not until after nap that I was able to sit down and do a brief, but encouraging, study in II Kings. The rest of the afternoon and evening’s computer time was spent working on the school Bible lessons.
