29 Sept 09

The past few phone calls from my mom have me worried. Some one has called hospice, some one is bringing a hospital bed, there are going to be nurses, some one came and gave her a shower. She is 90. Because we don't know what is going on we plan to visit her.

The green beans are coming along real well. Hope to get some soon--if the weather holds out.

Elon's squash is soooo good.

I cleaned and vacuumed the shed out. Must have been 10 Recluse spiders. Vicky helped, too. I wore gloves, since I figured if I came across a Recluse, I would have a little protection. Burned grandpa's old chair; it was pretty yucky. I'm not sure the cat would even use it.

John, the mailman, said to me, "Len, I'm sorry to tell you this, but your tire is nearly flat." Sure was, too. Added air and went to Alison's; it was a rock hole. The roads had recently been regraveled.

Not much else happening. I took out a facebook, because the children said Merle needs friends. People whom I haven't seen or heard of for years found me; it is pretty interesting.

God bless.

Hi There

At church today Nathan spoke on the Gospel of John. We are slowing reading through the Bible, one book a week, and then one of the men teaches on that book. It seems like a lot of reading for one week, but it can be done. He gave a good summary of every chapter. Dennis has Deuteronomy next week.

Paul had two brats last week. He wanted to eat a third, but Sue wouldn't let him. He asked for prayer about this--lol.

The trap caught another felon--the third 'possum. Josh dispatched him. We'll have a few more tomatoes now.

The beans are growing well. There may be buds coming, but I'm not sure yet.

The road was so muddy that other day that my Escort looks like I've been muddin in the field.

Elon's squash is far enough along that perhaps we'll have some by this week.

Some of us are fighting colds.

I've been fairly busy at work. There was a man is bad health, with bad lungs--3 packs a day smoker for 60 years, with Alzheimer's, weight loss, and a ruptured appendix. He was on the vent for a whole week. We didn't think he would live through surgery, then we thought we would never get him off the vent, but he did all that and left for a nursing home for a couple of months to get his strength back.

I'm not planning on getting the flu shot--any type. I just don't trust the government or the CDC. I think it is a lot of hype and lots of money to be made by promoting scare tactics.

We still need to pray for Rifga Bary, the apostate Muslim. The full story can be found on Atlas Shrugs. You might have to scroll down to find the latest news about her. She is a believer in Jesus who was threatened by honor killing and had to run from home.

We had a cook out today. I'm wasn't sure if our usual spot was good or not, since I hadn't mowed from before Anna's graduation, but it was just fine. Josh cut down a few weeds, and we were ready.

Wednesday evening for church, we are planning to go to the camp, eat supper, worship, and pray. Hope you show up.
