Last night Rhonda walked over from her house to the playground where we were watching volleyball and told me about the sermon in her nephew Adam's church out in Denver, Colorado. I usually always stick to sharing sermons from our own AC churches but was glad to listen to this one. I respect Adam, in fact Adam and Philip were the people that helped with Horsemeister's website (the one I am now replacing after 22 years). When I listened at first I was listening to make sure pastor Jeff was speaking the TRUTH and out of the Bible and truly after listening, even going back to make sure I heard it right, decided this message SHOULD be shared here. Click HERE to watch this message. I ask you to watch and even if you do so with a critical mind, and can explain why I am wrong for sharing, I ask you to please send me a text or email as to why I should take it off. My cell number and email are easy to find and I promise I will post your response whether for or against on below this message.

Wonderful Sunday
When the night was over and a new morning arrived I was so glad to realize it was Sunday and almost everything was ready for the day. Mark went for a walk while I prepared breakfast. We thought about leaving early to wash Mark's car as it is really dusty again but instead just drove my car to church. What a blessed day we had in church. When mom and I went into church we saw David walking up in his black suit coat knew at that point he was probably going to have the morning message. This was so interesting. He explained parables in a way I had never thought of. I learned so much listening. If you would like to watch this message click HERE. Karen and Ralph Hoffstetter served lunch today. What a treat that was, she had home made chicken salad along with ham and cheese sandwiches, all kinds of vegetables and all kinds of home baked goodies. Karen is probably the best cook in the entire Peoria church, at least for serving huge groups of people. The afternoon message was by Mike Kaisner, one of my favorite stories of when Sennacherib threatened Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18 and 19. Great story, read it yourself or watch Mike's message by clicking HERE. After church we had 28 for dinner, just missing 2 of the family but had 4 others join us. The grandchildren were pleased to be back together. I had plenty of help getting the water cups filled and ready.

Saturday's News
I woke up to bad news. Mark was waiting in the kitchen with 2 coolers and told me the fridge was not working. I did not want to deal with that until the first cup of coffee was downed. If I sing my attitude will change and it really did, not that I was happy to do the work but glad that it was only needing to be defrosted and glad we had the coolers ready for the food. I had everything out of it and the hair dryer running in probably 15 minutes or less. That gave me time to have another cup of coffee. That second cup got me motivated to clean the inside of the fridge now that it was all cleaned out. Once that was done breakfast was made and then it was time to go to mom's. When I arrived Karin told me mom wanted her to take her to a place to pick out a coffin. Karin reminded mom that she was going to Gulf Shores in October and vacations take priority over death. Mom agreed, she is not willing to give up her vacation. Of course the entire time Karin is telling me mom Mom is laughing hysterically. We ALL know how important vacations are in this family. Death will just have to wait. Of course when I told her if I write about this everyone will think we are terrible and right away she quips, "you ARE!" That brought another round of laughter. She really does have a quick mind and a good sense of humor. She is doing a new Bible study by Francis Chan so we read the first chapter of the book and then read the first chapter of the workbook. This first chapter just seemed to go with David's last message in Washington on Wednesday evening so we watched that together.
We both really enjoyed the morning. Meanwhile Mark and Mackenson were hard at work digging the middle paddock automatic waterer out of the ground. Mark is going to install a brand new different kind of waterer. They were not able to get it out today, it was just too hot outside to work hard.
Joan took Berlica and Faith to the pumpkin festival in Morton to be with Nancy for the parade. She sent back this picture.
She showed Nancy and Nancy said, "tell Judy to put it on the blog." We didn't even know Nancy was aware of the blog so NANCY SUE MEISTER this is for YOU! They had fun watching the floats. The float below has on the horse Ribbon's bridle and Sarah's saddle.

New Computer
I went out to walk but Ruth didn't show up, Diane is in Gulf Shores so Joan was sent a text that I wouldn't walk. Instead I went into the barn to start putting away the dishes I washed yesterday. We ended up with 54 of these containers.
