I have found that depending on how late I write, the posted date of this post will say tomorrow and not today.

This morning feels so long ago now. C and I had chiropractor appointments and then she ran to Costco with me.

After work Willie and I went to Hobby Lobby to get some of our Alaska artwork framed. It took some time to pick out the frames and mats. C joined us after her haircut. Two of the three pieces are below.

After dinner we went to our neighbor’s house for family Bible study. It was wonderful! We started out with a hymn and then jumped into Genesis. After each taking a turn to read a few verses in the chapter we stopped and started discussing what we read and what we observed. The particular story we happened to be in was the story of Lot and his family. That led us to ask if anyone had any angel stories. Do you have any angel stories? This particular line of conversation led us to one of the girls commenting on a video she had seen online from nurses who have experienced being present when patients die. They said it happens in one of two ways, either very peacefully and they often notice a sweet smell enter the room, or the complete opposite with absolute terror and the smell of sulfur. This is not a joke. What a picture the short clip painted in my mind.

Talk then moved to other things. We are so thankful to be here. Living right next to friends was the key requirement and I’m glad it worked out. Despite it being late C is still over hanging out with the girls and all she will have to do is walk the 25 yards home. No moose to worry about on this walk. C was asked by her friend as Willie and I were heading out if she missed seeing her friends. She said yes, she misses her friends, but she doesn’t miss Alaska. She still wants to visit of course, so that will continue to be in the works.

Plans tomorrow include picking up wood for the attic floor project, along with an attic ladder, and hopefully moving that project along before bedtime.

  1. I love the art work. It is bright and colorful.

    My most important angel story: when we were living on a boat in Alameda my toddler and my baby and I just got back from our day out and about and we were headed below when Mr. And Mrs. Mallard came swimming by. My almost 2 year old went to the edge to say hi and then climbed up on the railing and then flipped over it. It happened so fast. I dropped the baby in a box and ran off the boat to rescue my toddler but she was perfectly situated with her arm over the mooring line and holding her stuffed monkey. I praised the Lord for her safety and know it was an angel that placed her right there. Had she fallen in…
