 Well, God did it again! I opened my eyes, (earlier than I wanted to) and there was a whole new bright week right there in front of me. There were birds announcing it and beautiful flowers singing God’s praises. I need to check out front where I have my tomato plants waiting on the porch to see if the frost did them any harm. I doubt it though.  

We had a good turnout for the services yesterday. That’s always a positive note and frankly makes me feel better. It’s always disappointing when we have a Sunday when very few people show up for worship services. While I realize it isn’t about me at all, I do put a lot of work into trying to do good services. I do a lot of research for my sermons and try to match the scriptures and hymns all together. Then when only a hand full of folks show up, —- well it’s disappointing. So, — I remind myself that Jesus said; “Where two or three are gathered; I am there too.” Sure, — he did the Sermon on the Mount where 5000 people showed up; — but 99% of His ministry was being a “street preacher”. I got zero to complain about, and I do love my two little churches. I’m going to miss them, but it is time to stop. 

Today we take Kate to see the Oncologist for her follow-up appointment and plan for any future treatment.  The best scenario would be for him to say that she doesn’t need any further treatment at all. But, as I have said, if they want her to take the twenty visit radiation thing to prevent any possible further cancer we will go for it. Heck, we’re retired people, what else have we got to do?? LOL At our age, we call it “going out”. And if the visits are at the right time of day, I get to go out for breakfast, assuming she feels like it after her treatment. The way it was explained to us initially, the daily treatment takes about five to ten minutes and then you’re done. There are four weeks of treatments for a total of twenty. And, I don’t think it is supposed to wear you out like I’m told chemo does. But, we’ll know more by this evening. 

I have a couple of jobs I need to get done this morning before we go for her appointment. Tomorrow the John Deere Dealer is coming to pick up my small JD mower. Right now it has a flat tire on the rear and I have to air that up so they can push it out front. For the moment, we have the laundry going, and I need something for breakfast. So, I’m out of here. 

Have a blessed day — have a blessed week.!! Peace.
