Cold symptoms mean cold medicine. I want to say I don’t have time but body is saying make time.

Thank you Lord for restoring my energy.

You woke me up early to put an idea in my head.

A GREAT WEEK

Sunday 9/10  Church, football, food and good conversation with my son, brother & niece. Important meeting at church at the end of the day. 

Monday 9/11  A quiet day at home.  My phone went completely dead.  I am embarrassed at how I depend on that darned thing.  I really was more concerned about  not having something in the event of an emergency.  I am grateful I had my Chromebook to contact the people I needed to.  

Tuesday 9/12  Quiet but my son came out with my brother’s extra phone for me to use in case of emergency.  Just for 911 but that was fine.  I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.  Grateful he was able to get me an extra phone.

Wednesday 9/13  I went and bought a new phone, got a great deal and was up and running again.  Bible study to end the day and it was wonderful as always. 

Thursday 9/14  More football with my son, niece and brother’s friend at my brothers.  Good food and conversation. 

Friday 9/15  Pay day and a picnic at work. Got to see my coworkers and managers.  

Saturday 9/16  My High School 40th Reunion. I had a great time!  I had never been to any of my reunions before and it was nice to reconnect.  I have lots of classmates on Facebook.  It is better than nothing, but not the same. :)

Sunday 9/17  Church in the morning.  It was a great service as always.
