“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Ecclesiastes 10-12; Galatians 1

Our youngest granddaughter, Audrey Taylor, is celebrating her third birthday today!  Of course, she is in Guatemala so we definitely miss being with her on this special day.  Happy birthday Audrey!

Spoke to Miss Vinnie Brewer last night and she told me that Oscar Petersen did well through his surgical procedure yesterday.  They did a skin graft as well so the entire process was about five hours long.

Did not get an update on Robert Baria yesterday but I do know he continues to need our prayer support.

Sonny Bates should receive his fifth radiation treatment today.  He will then have two days off.

Our grandson, Titus, had a cast put on his left arm yesterday afternoon.  The good news is that it is supposed to be for two weeks only.  He and Lisa now have matching casts!

My thoughts this morning will center on Lane & Amanda Zirlott along with their family.  The hope is in knowing that their son is now in the presence of Jesus.  May the God of all comfort be their source today and beyond.

There was a televised debate last night for the U.S. Senate seat.  I did not watch any of it as I am somewhat weary of politicians.  Made sure Lisa had everything she needed and then went to the office for a little over an hour.  Office work is better than politicians debating – LOL!  I will be glad when Myrtle and crew finish up next Tuesday night around 7:00PM!

I had mentioned that we have meals through September of 2033.  Courtney Cavin wants to sign up for the first Monday in October of 2033.  Unfortunately for her, we already have plans for that night!

Have to be honest.  I feed my chickens some table scraps.  One lady cooked spaghetti squash for us (not for this old boy!). Lisa ate some of it and I then took the rest to my chickens.  Basically, they said, “are you serious?  Thanks but no thanks!”  Folks, when your chickens will not eat the stuff. . .

Former NFL great Jim Brown is not someone I agree with very often.  However, I recently read something he said about the American flag, our National Anthem, and those players who are boycotting these things.  I quote, “I’m going to give you the real deal: I’m an American. I don’t desecrate my flag and my national anthem. I’m not gonna do anything against the flag and national anthem. I’m going to work within those situations. But this is my country, and I’ll work out the problems, but I’ll do it in an intelligent manner.”  Well said Mr. Brown!  (This is one of those that I did not get to put in print last week because the blog was down).

Lisa may have both arms in casts but it has not stopped her from barking orders.  She has already told me exactly what I will do in the way of yard work today.  Plus, she found out about Nanette, the loaf and little pumpkin!  You ever been hit upside the head with a cast?

Leslie Hacker’s Braves beat Bobby & the boys last night which helps the Dodgers.  Of course, the Dodgers are playing so poorly these days that nothing is going to help them in the long run.  Go Nats!

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
