Good Monday morning to you. It’s April 3rd and Holy Week began yesterday with the celebration of Palm Sunday. We had good attendance at both churches which is par for the course for the Christmas and Easter seasons. But with a confirmation ceremony as part of the service, we had a bigger than normal attendance.  Unfortunately the person that was running the video/audio stuff didn’t get it done right so we didn’t live stream or record the ceremony. 

We had a night of thunderstorms last night. I don’t know how much rain we got because I haven’t had time to check it out. But the thunder was loud and long and we had a pretty good light show gong on too. 

The big story of today of course is Ms. Kate’s breast lumpectomy surgery. We are at the hospital right now. They just took her back for surgery. The surgery should take about 45 minutes and then she will be in recovery for another 45 minutes. It is almost 1100 now. We had to be here at 0615 for some reason. They had to take her for another mammogram for any last minute checks on the size and placement of the cancer. So that is part of the reason for the early arrival.. But, if all goes well, we should be able to take her her home by around 1330. I imagine she will be sleeping most of the afternoon, which is fine. Julie and I are ready for a nap too. LOL We have had several texts this morning from well wishers and if you are one of them, we thank you. Kate and I re not worried about tis and anticipate that everything is going to be fine.  That’s what you do when you decide to turn your worries over to God. 

So, I’ll let y’all know to morrow how things went. Until then, this is Holy Week. Stay close to Christ this week. Peace.
