Blahg!  Today's posting is a blog in the truest sense of the word!  I am having a blah day.  I don't know why!  I need to find my boot straps!

I went to Church and Sunday school this morning.  Krl slept in.  Maybe she can get another week back at work and her mental and physical conditioning will start coming around.  I do realize that she is exhausted. 

Church was impressive.  Jim served as more of a Master of Ceremonies than he did as the speaker.  The entire service was a look at the youth missions trips to Mexico, New York, Houston, Denver, and Fort Worth.  Each trip had a short report by one of its participants.  At the conclusion of the service they brought all the youth who participated in the summer mission trips and their sponsors to the front, then they asked everyone who had served full time as missionaries to stand and then all those who had participated in mission trips or had shared their faith with someone.  You had to really look to find anyone remaining seated.  The number was impressive.  The youth did most of the service.  Dress code was T-shirts and jeans.  We continue to expand our boundaries.

In class we had a good turn out.  We really didn't have a lesson today.  Ed and Jody had just returned from Prague and they talked about their trip.  Terry is wanting to make a definite plan for the remaining class meetings this year.  He wants subject suggestions next week.  This is  frustrating because I won't participate because it is just weeks until my departure for four months.  I don't think it would be right for me to suggest a course of study and then not be there.

FATHER, I need to feel your presence.  Fill me with YOUR spirit, surround me with YOUR angels.  Energize me, boost me.  FATHER I continue to lift up Aimee Harris, Rene' Baxter, Carol Pickett, and Michelle Allen for YOUR healing.  Bless them.  I ask YOUR  blessings for all the participants in the youth missions and for those whose lives they touched.  I ask for YOUR blessing on the coming week.
