A Slow Month
My computer issue
did not get resolved until I purchased a new one. Then I had trouble
getting my printer to work. In the process of trying to resolve the
printer issue, I shut it down completely. Roger told me he would look
at the printer when he came home. (I was able to contact my ink
supplier and get that problem resolved.)
Postponed Plans
Roger was going to
come home St. Patrick's Day weekend but was too worn out to do it. We
said it would be okay with us if he came Palm Sunday weekend.(I had a
birthday during the week in between.) Jim has been dealing with a
cold and another health issue. So we decided Roger didn’t need to
be exposed to those germs. We aimed for Easter weekend. Then, I
started feeling bad.
Pastor Rick
Pastor Rick was
released from the intense therapy hospital on March 22nd.
Cheryl took a couple of pictures and texted them to some of us. He
looked happy to be home. I didn’t get to church on Palm Sunday and
Easter. I heard that Pastor was at first service on both Sundays.
Desires, Goals,
and Plans
As time goes by, I
have some desires that I would like to be able to accomplish. In
order to do these things, I have to set goals. Then, I have to make
plans to see those goals met and those desires become real. Please
pray about this for me.
This See-Saw
Weather
I will be very happy
to see an end to this chilly weather. When the temperature is not in
the 30s and 40s, it is up in the 60-70 range, for a day or two. No
wonder so many people are sick.
An Interesting
Day
My driver’s
license expired on my birthday. A few weeks earlier, I received a
postcard from the B.M.V. The card reminded me of the fact of the
expiration. It also told me to bring paperwork verifying my identity.
(I had already done
this six years ago. I happened to keep the paperwork in my desk
drawer.) I thought I needed to update the documents showing my
mailing address.
I drove to the town
just north of us to go to that B. M. V. I found out it was closed on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was there on a Tuesday.
I had to drive back
to our city and then across town to get to the shopping center on the
south side of town. When it was my turn to be waited on, I asked
about the need for my paperwork. The young lady said, “You already
have the star on your license, you didn’t need to bring the
paperwork.” I also found out that the branch I went to first shares
its staff with the branch in the next county. Yes, it was an
interesting day.
Two Phone Calls
On Tuesday of Holy
Week, I answered our home phone. It was our great-nephew. He told me
that his dad had suffered a stroke the day before. He also said his
dad was not going to make it. About three and a half hours later, he
called back and told me that his dad had passed on about an hour and
a half before.
Between the two
phone calls I contacted some prayer-warrior friends. I also prayed
that our nephew would not suffer. As his son told me, our nephew
turned over to go to sleep and passed on.
Jim was asleep when
the second call came. After I told him, most of that day, Jim told
me memories about when they were kids; they were fond memories.
This may sound
boring but that was my life during the month of March.
