Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Yesterday we went to first service at Meadow Creek. For the first service, they don't use the 2-yr old room, which is where John usually goes, so he wanted to go in that room "to Sunday School". But, he apparently did fine. And Hanna cried a little, but I guess was ok. Until they brought her back out to us, and she started crying again. You'd think she'd be happy to see us.

While at the church, Larry Anderson asked if I would consider being a deacon. It's a three year term. I think I'd like to, do my part in the church. Not sure if I could still do orchestra, and/or teach sunday school if asked. I don't want to get involved in too many things that would take time away from home.

Then, we went over to the Village shopping area, where they were having 4th of July celebration events. We took the kids to a little petting zoo they had there. Hanna just loved it. She was fascinated by all the animals, just walked around and petted everything. John didn't seem terribly interested. Same thing at the zoo too, Hanna was captivated by the animals, but not John. So, Hanna will be an animal lover, and John is content to play at the park.

My cold roared back over the weekend. I was getting better, but got worse over the weekend. Ugh. Sunday night I took a allergy pill, just to try it, was supposed to help with runny nose, sore throat, etc... Wow, it knocked me out. I could hardly stay awake, and once the kids were in bed, I crashed and was out like a light till I woke up at 4 am. I got up and took some tylenol. My sinuses have been putting pressure on, so I've had a bit of a headache, and even my teeth ached. I feel a little bit better today now, but I still can't taste any food.
