Well, what a blessing! I was supposed to have a test in my college class tonight but, thankfully, it was delayed until next week - along with the assignment that was due tonight. That gives me another week to study.
Not much else has happened today. The viewing for my friend, who I love like a sister, is tomorrow. The memorial service will be Thursday. It will be a tough time. Her death came as a surprise to, I think, almost everyone who knew her.
On a brighter note, my step-son and step-daughter-in-law are expecting their first child. They are excited. My wife is, really, excited! It will be her first grandchild. She, already, wants to buy it everything! I say, "it" because we don't know if it is a boy or a girl. I don't mean to be disrespectful or impersonal. I have 3 grandchildren and I love them dearly. I don't see them very much, though.
For all of you who visit the blog, feel free to take my poll. I would love to know your opinion. Yours is as good as anyone else's.
Well, it is late and I am tired.
See you later,
Richard

Until Next Time
It was a pretty good day today considering I lost someone yesterday who is like a sister to me and that it was the twentieth anniversary of the death of my mother. I wouldn't call it a happy day by any means but the fact that it is Sunday and we went to church, I think, made it a little easier. The pastor had a great message today, as he always does, but, you know, some speak to us more than others. It was from Job 39:19-25 and was entitled, "Wisdom from a Warhorse."
I had the opportunity and privilege of teaching the Firm Foundations Sunday School class today and the pastor's message went right along with my lesson. It is phenomenal how God does that. And I am always amazed and enjoy it when that happens. It is like confirmation from the Holy Spirit that you did what He wanted you to do. I taught about Uriah the Hittite from II Samuel 11. In the evening service we had a missionary to Las Vegas. That would be a hard place to start a church, but somebody has to do it. Not that they don't have churches there already but God knows what He's doing.
Anyway, it is hot and humid here. Yesterday we had some rain and thunderstorms. Today it is hot but not quite as humid. I am not complaining I love summer. I would rather have summer any day than winter. I don't like to be cold. I wish I was one of those people who could go to Florida every year for the winter. I know some people who do that, including our next door neighbors, and that would be really nice. My barber does that, too, and he takes his profession with him and is still able to earn some money while he's gone. That would make it even better.
It has been awhile since I enclosed a quote. I love good quotes so if you know any feel free to send it my way. I might use it the next time I teach Sunday School. I don't teach every week I'm really just the co-teacher for my class, which means I only teach that class when the regular teacher is gone. Sometimes the Lord allows me the privilege of substituting in another class like this morning. Anyway, the quote, I don't know who said it but here it is:
You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
Until next time,
Richard
