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

I have to go to work to relax? Strange.

Whew, busy weekend. Enjoyed some fabulous weather, so Saturday went to Bunker Beach for awhile. Sunday's schedule was packed to the gills. I helped with communion at both services, and we had the preschool room for the first service too. I'm doing a sunday school class this month, I manned a registration desk after the second service. (Jeremiah Gamble was here again, and we always enjoy him, so we brought the kids in the sanctuary with us. They did pretty good.)

After all that, we went over to a park near Bunker Beach and had a picnic lunch. Then went swimming. And in the evening, went over to Rhonda's friend's house for a scrumptious supper. John did so very well playing with Kyle.

I see long time ABC news anchor Peter Jennings passed away from lung cancer. He was often part and parcel of what went into making the charge that the media has a liberal bias, but I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. Sad for his family.

Rained cats and dogs here this morning on the drive. I got drenched getting John and Hanna out of the truck at Sue's house. In ominous portents, I saw road construction stuff on 35W, north of 694, sitting by the road ready for use. One sign said "left two lanes closed". Eeek. Sounds like that stretch of road is about to become a major headache.
