July 26 – “A two-check day”

Three mile walk with Chris … check.

Worked on sermon most of the day … check.  Chris worked on a quilt.  Oh, and she went to ladies’ Bible study at the church last night.

That about says it.  Sigh.  A two check day.  But the Astros did win last night.  Does that count for a third check?

There was none of the promised movement forward on the building of the house next door.  Well, other than neighbors coming out and asking what has been going on.  Chris showed me the stakes that the guy hammered in when he was there the other day.  They supposedly mark where the corners of the house will be and where the garage will be.  They are separated, so I guess it’s supposed to be a detached garage.  And it will be located around behind the house with a driveway trailing all the way from the front.  So much for a lawn on that side of the house or in the back yard.  It also looks as if we will be losing our shade trees.  If the stakes are indeed accurate, both of the big trees will have to come crashing down.  Looks like our view to the West is about to change drastically.  Stay tuned for further developments on the 40 Steps Interloper.

1 Peter 1:8-9 says, “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”


Father, I want to pray for our new neighbors, whoever they may end up being.  Draw them close to you even now.  Amen.
