I am going out of town today. Business related. It will be enjoyable to be out and about. I have asked Krl to ride along with me. I think we need some extra time together. She has already voiced concerns about leaving Brandy, the new hound, in the house so I guess if Brandy needs to go she can ride along as well. Lots of road time for a brief meeting. I may try to detour by Memama's, she is by herself, Pat is out of town and Pepa and Hag haven't made it back from Little Rock.

Krl was like a cleaning tornado yesterday. She had put in a hard day in the house and when I arrived from work she was mowing the yard. She said she was fighting depression. She and I have had to face some hard realities this past week. Other questions are looming on the horizon. We just need to bite the bullet and get past this. From financial issues stemming from the defunct family business to a Sunday School couple who seem to be having a problem with Krl and I since we returned from our seasonal work, we are presented with a wide array of problems. The couple were friends until they were unable to impose their views and will upon us, we wished them well but they seem to continue to harbor ill feelings. At some point they have had altercations with almost every other couple in the class. It really doesn't bother me, I am usually oblivious to the obvious, but Krl is bothered by them. They were in this class before us (they call themselves charter members) even though they only attend about half the time. Krl and I like the remainder of the group but we also wonder if we are hindering this couple if we might need to look for an alternative group. Krl has even voiced an opinion that if we leave she might not attend a class. I don't think that is an option. My thoughts are just to do what we are doing. We will get through this. We just don't need to rush things and allow GOD the time to work his plan.

Winter is supposed to re-visit West Texas today. Chance of snow!

FATHER, I pray for a blessed day. A day filled with YOUR presence. I pray for safe travel, I pray for solutions to the issues presenting themselves to Krl and I. I ask that YOU work YOUR plan for us. YOU are supreme. YOU are in control. FATHER, I pray for health for Hag, B., Lillie, Carol, Michelle, Aimee, Jennifer, Ashlyn Kate, Jess, Tj, Anna, and for those recovering from their injuries. Bless them and care for them. I ask YOU to lift this depression from Krl and I and mend the hurt our hearts feel. I ask YOUR comfort for those hurting from loss. I pray for spiritual awakening for those of us searching and stumbling. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. To YOU be the glory!
