Happy new week. Welcome to the last week of October. Do you have your Halloween costume ready to go. Are you going out or are you going to stay home and pass out the goodies. So far the weather projection for Halloween is quite tolerable. I’m not sure what we are going to do. It depends on how Ms. Kate feels. We didn’t go to the Halloween party at our St. Paul’s church last night because she wasn’t feeling up to going out. That’s really too bad too because she had planned on either making and talking an apple pie or a freezer of homemade ice cream. Next Sunday is the party at St Lucas and it will be at about the same time as all of the trick or treaters come out. I don’t know what we will do. Again, it depends on Ms. Kate’s health. 

Speaking of Ms. Kate’s health; she finally did talk to the nurse practitioner at our doctor’s office. The nurse set her up with Deaconess Hospital to get a CT scan done but the first appointment she can get is the 9th of November. That’s 16 days away. That just isn’t acceptable that she has to deal with this pain for another 16 days before she can even be seen. She does have a doctor’s appointment a week from today but I’m letting her call the shots on this. In the meantime, I’ll just do whatever I need to to help her out. 

We had low attendance yesterday at both churches. Probably only 53 between the two services. I never know what makes people decide to skip church or attend church. And, with us having our service taped and presented on Facebook, and on You Tube, I never know who watches later because they had something else going on at church time. I pray that if they aren’t there in person, they are at least watching it at some point later. Good news for St. Paul’s is that we finally, after two years plus, got the new copper anchor cross installed on the steeple of St. Paul’s. A storm ruined the original a couple of years ago. It was hard to find anybody to makes a new one and it was harder to keep that person interested in finishing the job. But, it is up and it looks beautiful. I’m very proud of it. I especially appreciate a couple of the guys staying on top of the guy to get it done. 

That wraps up today. I hope your week is fully blessed. Peace.
