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

For some reason, when I have a Twins game on, John always perks up when he hears the trumpet playing that little "Charge!" ditty. He'll hear it and immediately take notice and he'll say to me "trumpet!"

Just about ready to leave for the day. Everyone else has left early. There's one guy here, but he'll leave soon too. Been another busy but productive week.

Should be fairly warm this weekend. So, will likely end up at the lake at some point. Rhonda got a new plastic pool, that kind with the hard shell (i.e. not a blowup kind.) We got it out last night and filled it up. The kids had fun splashing in it and going down the slide. Rhonda had told Sue about the pools, which were only $5 somewhere, so Sue went and got one, and they were filling it when I got there this morning.

Both John and Hanna were sound asleep when I went to get them this morning at quarter to 8. Hanna was especially tired last night, and John didn't get to sleep till later. He wanted to be held more than usual. We went in there a couple of times. Maybe being at Sue's house so much this week has affected them a bit.

It's our night in the nursery Sunday night. August is always the special praise events. I think Sunday night is kinda of a dinner theater thing put on by people in the church. Not sure how much business we'll get. It's always a chore finding workers for the nursery. Sounds like Labor Day will be a problem. I don't understand why people can't do one service a month.

The tents and all that are up at the golf course, ready for the Senior PGA event which started today.

Well, time to go enjoy the weekend!
