Crazy Weekend

Well, this past weekend was not the greatest. Please pray for Trish's family because her Grandma (Ma Pearly) is in the hospital and not doing well. We drove down Friday and Trish took the all night shift staying in the room with her. Then she turned around and went back with Pam and April to see her Saturday early afternoon. I babysat the kids while they were gone. Jedidiah and Molly start out playing well together and that lasts about an hour. Then Molly started crying for April. After that they started fighting over toys. I'd much rather work a 12 hour day than watch kids. The good part was going out for sea food when they got back. I taught Jedidiah how to eat crawfish. The shrimp and clams were good too.

Sunday was a joy too. I had the pleasure of carting six loads of laundry to the laundry room. The weather was beautiful out so I made the best of it. Trish and I started a new tradition. When we drop Jedidiah off at children's choir we run to the coffee shop (Liquid Bean) where they have free wifi and play on the new laptop for the hour. Now it's back to work for the week. Hope everyone is doing well.


Got Spurgeon?: "It is said that in the land of Canaan, cities of refuge were so arranged, that any man might reach one of the them within half a day at the utmost. Even so the word of our salvation is near to us; Jesus is a present Savior, and the way to Him is short; it is but a simple renunciation of our own merit, and a laying hold of Jesus, to be our all in all. With regard to the roads to the city of refuge, we are told that they were strictly preserved, every river was bridged, and every obstruction removed, so that the man who fled might find and easy passage to the city. Once a year the elders went along the roads and saw to their order, so that nothing might impede the flight of any one, and cause him, through delay, to be overtaken and slain. How graciously do the promises of the gospel remove stumbling blocks from the way!"
