Both of us over slept not waking up until after 6:00am. The weather is perfect for sleeping in, nice and cool. It was really hard to roll out of bed. When I finally did get downstairs and the morning jobs done I remembered Spark and Ken both gave me envelopes after church. One was a thank you note from Dick and Gladys Haefli that held a VERY nice surprise, a check for one hundred dollars to help with the hog roast, plus $40.00 in cash. The other envelope was a thank you note that needs to be shared with the family. We found out there was a need, an email went out just to family and the gifts of money my very wonderful generous family sent in makes my chest hurt in a good way.
Ron Kipfer was the speaker yesterday and he spoke on creation. Church was crowded for a Wednesday night and Ron did an excellent job keeping our attention. Amazing all the little and big things that we don't even think about. He asked us to raise our hand if we had ever prayed for someone to convert, then raise our hand if we ever thanked God for Jupiter. Of course no one thinks to thank God for Jupiter but Ron told us we should, if it wasn't for Jupiter and Saturn's gravity pull, Earth would be hit by asteroids. Ron is from Bluffton North but lived in Peoria and was in OUR young group while working at Caterpillar for some years.
Today Steven is picking up Star, he was pretty upset once he found out Star's teeth haven't been done for a year and a half and since going back he has not had his feet done even once. He is hauling him straight to Dr. Hoerr's will draw blood for a coggins and overnight it, meanwhile poor Star will need to stay in the barn away from all the other horses until the results get back. The vet clinic told him he would have the results on Friday so only one day of quarantine. We will post some pictures of him once Steven has him here. Hopefully it is not as bad as it sounds, Star was a great horse.
Lots to do today so off I go.
